  1. What is the closest ESN equivalent to Spring Sponge nowadays?

    As far as the 'longggg but controlled stretch, easy to engage the sponge, and that soft, yet clear feeling' is concerned, I would recommend the Gewo Inventus rubbers. However I do not know if they replicate the Butterfly rubber feeling because I haven't used Butterfly rubbers for myself yet.

    Did Jang Woojin say 'f*** you' during the match with Qiu Dang??? https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxwvKyuYUHb2w6Vnz3ZQbCwwQFRi9TKC2f?si=yBu5_8W3ONc6quoP
  3. Rubber is still tacky but slips the ball

    this happens with my STN too (new version with blue sponge). Rubber is great and all but sometimes I feel that this 'screeching' on the topsheet is a hindrance, especially during topspin against rallies (or maybe I'm just hitting wrong)

    where is Cho Seungmin :(
  5. Re-Building the BEAST

    hi guys, I've been thinking for some time to make a similar modification to my fextra one blade. I want to ask, how does one reliably remove the handle of the blade? I don't quite trust myself picking at it with a sharp knife... also, what to fill it with? is wood filler more preferred or random...

  7. Alternatives to Yasaka Valmo

    there's something very intriguing about the valmo that I cannot put into words. it's so easy to use. closest bet would be on rakza 7 soft, but valmo imo is a unique rubber.
  8. Sanwei 2020 Blades + ABS HD 40+ Ball & DZ Long Pimples

    sorry for bumping an old thread, but I wanted to ask how does the Multilayer Z compare to a Fextra One in terms of dwell time, feeling of ball at impact, and general loop drives? Also, the MZ balance strongly head heavy or only mild? I've always wanted to try a Multilayer blade because of their...

    Thank you for your answer. I am curious, when will Parla be available in Pakistan? HC 3S has caught my interest as well, I have never played with a hinoki carbon blade before.
  10. Any other blades similar to Fang Bo Carbon?

    I have played with F3 pro for a bit. It does have a soft feeling (relative to carbon blades), and is quite flexible too. The reviews saying it is stiff are probably for the old version (now listed as F3 Classic on Sanwei's website I think). F3 Pro is meant to be a thin blade, like 5.5mm thin.

    Yes. Technically any brand will do, but imo Sanwei has good price-to-performance ratio for blades. Also there is an official distributor nearby lol.

    @Michael Zhuang Sanwei have just uploaded a video on their facebook answering your question. Basically the designer of the rubber said that the low throw angle is meant to give rubber a long arc, which should mount more pressure on opponent. Here's the video (it has subtitles): Also @Andrea...
