  1. How long do rubbers stay grippy for?

    On average, 3-4 months sounds about reasonable for many, depending on the brand also. Though it's also good to hear that some people can use their rubbers for years. I am mainly a user of Chinese tacky rubbers, though I've also used 'hybrid-grippy' ones like Rakza Z and Fastarc G-1 (the latter...
  2. When you thought you were good.

    Hello Elder Bird, would you consider flying down here to Indonesia and have a match with me? 😂
  3. Blade upgrade suggestion

    If you want to stay on DHS try the H301 or Bo2 series, but probably the H301 will feel more similar to the IFALC. ​​
  4. Experience with balsa carbon blade?

    I had my own (not very good) experience with the Donic black devil CB. While it is a potent blade in the right hands, i just felt horrible controlling it. Basic drives shoot off the table when not using the right rubbers (better use soft non-tensors). Hard outer ply + carbon underneath is best...
  5. Is Fang Bo Carbon worth it?

    Worth it, if not for the pink handle... (just my preference though lol)
  6. Butterfly Falcima for noobies

    I once misread it as Falmer, aka those ugly elf monsters from Skyrim (pardon my nerd side surfacing lol)
  7. Glue drying time

    I usually apply my booster, which is my baby son's Johnson's baby oil, on my rubber right before going to bed.😂
  8. What is it specifically that you like about Table Tennis?

    Well said here, as a competitive person TT pretty much gave me that sense of challenge I need - otherwise my life would've been too monotonous and repetitive..
  9. Glue drying time

    All water based glues should dry within 15 minutes more or less (depending on how thick you apply them). It will become clear and colorless, and you can tell by tapping your finger on it, if it does not leave your finger print, then it's good to put the rubber on the blade. (you need to apply a...
  10. What is it specifically that you like about Table Tennis?

    I love Table Tennis. No questions. But I'd like to point out the many things that surround the sport itself, which I hope can be relevant. Likes: - TT is a sport that is not physically constrained; i.e. of course if you are younger, fitter, faster, you have an edge, but even veterans more than...
  11. DHS 301x and Fang Bo B2X compared to Viscaria

    While it is true that H301x or Bo2x have got more control factor in shorter play, they are not exactly "Viscaria alternative", since the compositions are different (301/Bo2 series have inner-carbon style and Viscaria is outer-carbon). That being said, an inner-carbon style blade will generally...
  12. Spinny setup

    If u want spinny, loopy, dwelly, decent speed with fair amount of control factor and okay with not being Butterfly, some 7 ply wood are good options, such as DHS PG7 or Falck W7 - the former is a very good looping blade and the latter, which I am using mainly, is a versatile powerhouse stocked...
  13. Yinhe blade equivalents

    Looks like Koto iirc. Others may help clarify.
  14. Yinhe blade equivalents

    This probably should already be common knowledge, but DHS H301 = Innerforce Layer ALC (except 301 is Koto outer and IFL ALC is Limba) The H301 costs half (or even less) of IFL ALC As for Yinhe, the 970xx ALC and 970xx KLC (Kevlar) is an Innerforce equivalent too.
  15. The Goat

    Dragon Innerforce ALC, price $888
  16. Cure for the EJ

    Mate, Yasaka Falck W7 is one of if not the best 7 ply-wood. @yogi_bear would agree since I bought one because of his review.😉 It's literally a POWERHOUSE with a sufficient control amount. For now it's my grail. Could be yours too lol
  17. Cure for the EJ

    Now I really wonder what kind of injury you have until you have to step down the speed of your blade 😗
  18. Cure for the EJ

    Very much agreed. Now you mentioned it, I really miss playing with my coach. We are (re: I am) limiting social activities down here because of the rising cases and the govt is not doing anything effective to prevent it, in addition to people still going out mask-less and potentially being a...

    And I just managed to make sure Sergio's waiting list got longer....😂
