  1. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    Oh I'm talking about the additional weight that is added in inside of the handle haha. The design should be close to identical except that golden does not have glass Viscaria tag at the grip.
  2. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    I'm having a question that is bugging me for awhile now and blade makers can maybe give me an answer. The handle of viscaria and golden viscaria is obviously different. How much does the weight in the handle of the golden viscaria affect feeling, effect, feedback and vibration? Really...
  3. Lin Shidong loses again in a match against Sweden

    I think this is quite accurate for the match against korea, but the match against sweden was disheartening. I'm pretty sure they are trying to get Liang and Lin after their injuries back into competition form with this group stage, but the bigger issue might be moral. Those matches might have...

    how thick is the handle? The only thing I don't like about W968 is that you never know if you get a thick or really thin handle
  5. Most hardest sponge with tackiest top sheet Chinese rubber in your experience

    Am I the only one thinks that H2 had way harder topsheet and tack and sponge than H3? No? Okay :( I don't think any of the newer ones compare to the small ball generation. They weren't really made to be penetrated by the ball but to cause friction.
  6. Blue sponge on backhand?

    Played it one season. The consistency with blue sponge is higher. But requires a really good perception of timing. It's nearly impossible to hit through with your own power. You need to engage the power of your opponent and your own to make a strong shot. You are able to play really short...
  7. Possible fake DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Blue Sponge “National”? (Different feel, print, packaging, sponge)

    1. Yes, they have horrible quality control. The older sponges are darker and without lines. The newer one I've bought these 2 years in china are all with lines. Not sure about packaging and printing. The ones with lines react better to booster though. 2. I've had several issue with the newer...
  8. Time Machine: kid equipment of nowadays champions

    Franziska was using timo boll spirit ST from kid to teen if i remember correctly. Butterfly bryce and something else I can't remember. That was such a long time ago... After his teen years it should be quite easy to research.
  9. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    so where does it fall into your list? above H8-80?
  10. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Tried 41 from a friend last year and I bought 40.5 which will arrive on the 29th. 42 is already a mental strain that I won't be able to cope with hahaha. Unless I get to try it, I won't be tempted. Even less so with 2.15 sponge

    Dude, you must have a wrist of steel. 42 deg 2.15 is an unicorn in itself, that feels like even harder to get than a player version H3N, because there is no market for it 🤣
  12. My custom made blades collection

    Damn, now I'm curious what your unicorn is. Mostly because I was about to get the surge this year for testing, haha. Drop me a message if you want to share.
  13. FLM Booster?

    Bought it last year from Gan. Used to be Gewo efficient energizer and only available in purple. The booster was really thick and really easy to overboost, because it took a really long time to absorb. It actually is best to wait 24h on each layer before continuing. This booster softens your...
  14. Tony's Table Tennis Agency - Pro League, Pro Training, Pro everything.

    Army of little Tonys 🤣 I'm still highly confused how there is no league tbh. So there is no association that says let's do something locally before everyone has no future for the sport or move overseas? How do you retain the people that learn the sport? Maybe it's time to start a tony league 😂...
  15. How to train the youth

    You need to ask the kid/parent this question (maybe attitude should ask the kids this question. Gives really perspective on what you work with). Most of the clubs are build on hobby basis in germany and not a lot of them are commited to the sport. The hardest struggle in this age range is to...
  16. Felix Lebrun lost 14 direct points on serve when faced Wang Chuqin

    Honestly, I do think that the service from WCQ has been a lot better compared to 1 year ago. There are a few pointers that I think is way more important about his serve than the actual illegal part. I know we all have played that one player that tosses the ball into the racket while his belly...

    Now you need to move foreign players into taiwan :oops:
  18. How to know if D09C sponge is degrading

    Honestly, if you have to ask this question I would slap on a new one. The back thought lingering in your mind during a tournament is a silent killer. Just keep your current for training and the other one for tournaments if you have 2 setups. Problem and risk avoided. Back to the question...
  19. DHS W968 review

    Thats hovering dragon special 85. It's the same gimmick as with all the other yasaka rubbers. You have the normal one, the special one (white packing) and now the special 85 (only for hovering dragon so far) However, according to reviews the special 85 has a lot less flaws and more consistency...
  20. DHS W968 review

    Yea, it's ridiculous how physical demanding the W968 is. Will try to train with it in season break and then determine that it won't do me any good in actual matches. Sad that such a good and expensive blade has been my training blade to keep myself in check 🤣
