  1. Rate the top 40+ balls

    DHS DJ40 are the best balls overall Nittaku are also good but have lower spin and a slightly higher bounce so a lot of players like them as its easier to hit and counter Butterfly are bad IMO, very high bounce and low spin a real bashers ball XIOM are the reverse a very slow spinny ball Double...
  2. Starting a club on a budget - Which table would you rather play on?

    Just in case the OP doesn't know Matt is iirc the joola north American representative. I suspect there is a good deal to be had and he is very trustworthy as an official representative of a major company. See what deal he has and bite his hand off is the likely best outcome you could hope for
  3. DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 38° Blue Sponge completely unboosted how does it really play?

    Really please use 8 80 power or 09c. I only use unboosted H3 because I started for years with unboosted 40d globe 999 national and are not particularly good. Or else I would probably still use z03
  4. DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 38° Blue Sponge completely unboosted how does it really play?

    Just out of interest then why if this is such an issue for hitting do the Chinese players swap to their softer H3 for smashing if flat hatting it hard is so unreliable but they swap to the softer one for better smashing
  5. DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 38° Blue Sponge completely unboosted how does it really play?

    No it's perfectly normal, these forum players just hit the ball harder and bottom out the 38 degrees that JingKun Liang uses on his backhand easily apparently
  6. DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 38° Blue Sponge completely unboosted how does it really play?

    Personally the loud clock sound means I hit the ball properly and engaged the sponge
  7. DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 38° Blue Sponge completely unboosted how does it really play?

    I think having a harder rubber helps some shots but I dont think people here are bottoming out a rubber ma long doesnt when counter rallying fan zhendong. And honestly no. Professional players are a different breed if you really think our recreational forehands are harder than a professional...
  8. DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 38° Blue Sponge completely unboosted how does it really play?

    I disagree with a lot of what is posted here. I also don't believe that people here are bottoming out 38 with any frequency unless they really think their Forehand is stronger by a lot than ma longs backhand using 37. I think for me 37-38 are brush looping rubbers first and foremost and hard to...
  9. Rubber recommendations for a counter-attacker

    it's not going to be easy imo at all for proper chopping, but i am awful at chopping so maybe ignore me
  10. Which ESN (or Jap) rubber is closest to H3 orange provincial (non NEO)?

    MX-P has been reccomended for litrally years as the de facto T05 alternative as well as G1
  12. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    Probably 50% but should be 0% This is a good game, a proper 2024 game when alexis was best euro player vs chinese and shidong going toe to toe in rallies and doing well

  14. Concern about a new rubber

    Provincial H3 hasn't been truly ball pick up and hold tacky other than the first day pr two for a number of years now I actually find commercial to be tackier usually I still find it really spinny however
  15. A better forum via better moderation

    Not sure this thread is worth replying to for anyone now, I would advise nextlevel to ignore most of this as it is clear I think to most people that the two trouble makers in the thread are causing issues once again with endless nonsence that was dead and buried and that any further contribution...
  16. A better forum via better moderation

    Best they can do is 0.2mm sponge it's up to you to add it on
  17. A better forum via better moderation

    No need for better moderation but posters need to respect the forum a bit more. Note most of these issues come from 1-3 people in a thread disagreeing and derailing the whole thing, maybe if we respect the posters and other members we don't derail things so that the relevant information is 3...
  18. WTT Champions Yokohama 2026, Yokohama, 8/4-9

    Xiang Peng extends his 5 year loosing streak to harimoto. Just not threatening enough on attacks and rallies other than the pivot forehand to beat the stable and confident Tomo today
  19. Harimoto: "It's presumptuous to call it a rivalry." (#1135)

    Honestly, I tend to disagree with Zeio and think he should post more translated and compressed overall but i'm not sure how this is constructive to the forum? And this is kind of his personal retaining tank of messages for his links back to references in his postings and is actually a better...
  20. WTT Champions Yokohama 2026, Yokohama, 8/4-9

    Sure but if Xiang Peng is the hardest player for him and he is 3-1 upa against him do you think he deliberately lost to Wang ChuQin 13 times and only won 3 who apparently is much easier for him. why doest he not want to be the number 1 and olympic champion when all he needed to do was beat...
