Hi, I have tried several Chinese rubbers like Loki Arthur China, unboosted DHS NeonBlue Sponge, 729 Battle 2 Blue Sponge and several others. I really like the initial tackiness, making it really controlable but still good power. But what I feel is, that the tackiness goes away after few...

Hello, Anyone tried all three rubbers and can give me some insight how they behave. I'm currently playing Battle 2 provincial with one layer of booster. Does the national rubber version also need one layer of booster and how does Loki Arthur China compare to the Battle 2 rubbers?

Hi, I would like to ask if anybody used both rubbers before and can give me a recommendation if fastarc g1 is playable for me instead of my current battle 2 blue sponge or if it is too different. I have been originally looking for an alternative to h3 neo but without boosting. I like the...

Hi, watching the Super League, it has been said that Huang Youzheng won the Chinese National Championship this year. Also because the main rooster has been at the asian games. I only found the final game on youtube. Does anyone has a like to the participants and tournament brackets? The only...

Hi, I'm having trouble to consistently looping either with forehand or backhand. So I got three questions. 1. Sometime I can feel the friction of the ball on my blade, so that I can loop but a lot of times the ball just leaves the blade too fast and goes into the net. It happens with either...

Hi, I have trouble returning half long and long side topspin balls. In theory I know that I have to brush over the ball but if i do it it still flies over the table. Maybe because my arc is not steep enough. If I try tonjust touch it, it also flies over the table. At least the ball doesnt fly...

Hi, since I havent read about this topic here, I thought I will open a thread. Both Chinese players are going to play for Post SV Mühlhausen the upcoming season. Although only in the Champions League I believe. I find it quite interesting that two top Chinese Players are going to play for a...

Hi, there are several glue options to glue a racket. I have currently the waterbased glue from DHS and organic glue from Loki, both purchased on Aliexpress. Also a different glue from a local sport outlet. I'm wondering if it matters what glue to use and does it matter for the performance of...

Hi, There is a new blade from Lin Gaoyuan's own Brand YuanJian called ZhanLu, another famous Chinese Sword. It's a inner ALC Blade and currently available on Taobao in China. It's cheaper than the other two Blades from the Brand. Anyone tried it already? How is the quality and how does it...

Hi, Like the titles says, I'm looking for advice how to serve in a double as a left hander. It feels kinda strange to serve from the right side. Normally I try to serve short with a bit of backspin but it's really easy to receive for my opponent and they normally push it back. But if I serve...

Hi, I'm currently playing in the amateur league in a European country and boosting is regarded as illegal due to the rules. But as far as I understand many players in Asia and even the top professional players are playing with boosted rubbers. Some rubbers are even not playable if not boosted...

Hi, I'm just so bad at receiving serves. I would say if it's backspin, I'm kind of confident to push them but I'm so bad at returning sidespin, float or topspin serves. Maybe I don't read them correctly and just play them as backspin or they are not as spinny as I thought. How can I improve...

Hi, Like in this short reel from Ma Long. Why does he keep his free arm around his body? I mean, surely their has to be a reason but I'm thinking if you do Topspins, does it not hinder you?

Hi, I'm looking for more information about a blade that I have purchased in China a decade ago. It's called Donic Waldner Black Power. It seems like it was only sold in China because Donic doesn't sell this blade in Europe after inquiring their support. I'm not even sure if it is really from...

Hi, the new blade from Lin Gaoyuan's own brand Yuan Jian is out for while. There seem to be two blade called Ganz Jiang and Mo Ye, that should be identical beside their looks. I'm wondering if anyone tried these blades yet since they are in the same price range as a Butterfly Viscaria or...

Hi, Has someone experience with the Palio Energy 03 and can compare it with Allwood Blades? Are they similar? It has 4 Soft Carbon ply. So it's not a 5 ply wood blade by definition. I have a Palio Energy 03 and considering changing my main rubbers to it and test it. I want to try a allwood...

Hi, I have been playing in my leisure time since my childhood but nothing serious. I have started to play in a club again and had to learn a lot from scratch. I would still consider myself an advanced beginner and not fit for tournaments play yet. I have used a Donic Burn Offensive for...

Hi, I started to play after a while. Since I don't have my old blade anymore, I got myself a Donic Burn Offensive Blade locally and played with it. After some time I feel that it lacks feeling and feedback. It feels very stiff although I like the Speed. But in the short/short game it just lacks...
