I disagree with this. My experience is that T19 feels like a totally different rubber than T05. I find it far less bouncy than T05. T19 has a much more linear responsiveness and bounce in my opinion. What you put it into the shot is what you get out. This is not what I experienced with T05. I'm...

Thanks for your reply. Since I posted this, I've changed my Forehand to Tenergy 19 and started using MX-D on the backhand. I've been playing with that setup for about 4 months. Both rubbers are less explosive than EL-D, but heaps easier to control. Both still have a lot of power if you really...

I'd go for Tenergy 19.

Wow. How did you hit a wall with your rubber? I've never done that.

It really depends on the rubber. Some models lose top sheet grip after awhile, some loose the power in the sponge, some rubbers get holes in the top sheet. There is no hard rule that you should change it at X point. Some rubbers suck so bad that I've thrown them away after one session. Even...

I've been living in Vietnam for about 7 years. In Saigon, I would argue that table tennis is much more popular than basketball. I know of at least 30 or 35 table tennis clubs around the city. I've tried to play basketball here. There is hardly anyplace you can play indoors and very few outdoor...

I find D05 much easier to use than D80. D80 doesnt grip the ball as good or as long. Something just felt off with D80 when I used it. I played 1 sheet and never bought another. I also didn't like D09c or FZD ALC. lol Ive tried D09C on like 6 different blades. It's weird and has no feeling. I...

I didn't even know table tennis paddles had clocks. :ROFLMAO:

I came across this rubber online, but there are no reviews online or anything about it anyplace. It looks like they have two versions, spin and speed. Has anyone tried it? https://sportexpertthailand.com/product/largestorm-spin/

Just stick with Vega China. I liked it better than any of the newer hybrids (that I tried) or H3. I've tried multiple versions of H3 and H3 Neo, both boosted and unboosted. I've also tried Dignics 09c, a few Stiga hybrids, and Rakza Z Extra Hard. None worked as good for me as Vega China. It's...

Is there anyplace where I can find a list of all rubbers release in 2023? Or a list of when all rubbers were released?

So, I purchased a sheet of MX-D on a whim today. I've been playing with EL-D on my forehand for the last 4 or 5 months. I really like it. I went to the shop today intending to buy a sheet of EL-D and a sheet of FX-D, but they were out of both. The lady at the shop offered me a crazy deal on a...

If I wanted to buy a rubber that was a slightly harder version of Xiom Vega Korea, What would I buy? Thank you.

It's not a Gewo rubber, but if you are looking for something similar to MX-P, but better... Tibhar El-D is similar to MX-P, but is way better for everything in my opinion.

I did not like T05H. That thing was like brick. Way too hard for me. In actual play it feels way harder than D09C. Very difficult to activate the sponge. I'm not sure why anyone would choose it. D05 or D09C would be better options for most players.

Vega Europe was the worst Vega rubber that I've tried. Not sure why anyone would choose it over Korea.

I did not play well with MX-P. I prefer the EL-D. However I played both of these rubbers in Xiom Strato. Yes, Harimoto ALC was a bit slow for me, but it has better feeling than the FZD ALC.

1300 isn't that bad. 1300 player will crush a true beginner. The first time I ever weren't to a table tennis club, I got crushed by 1000 rated players. 600 to 800 rated is a true beginner. After 2 months of club play and no coaching I played a tournament. My first rating was 1078. After 4 years...

I've also had 3 copies of Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit. One of them was absolutely perfect. It was dynamic, not too hard, and flexy. Awesome blade. I ended up getting a crack in the center ply. I had it repaired and now it is super stiff. I do not like it. I tried several times over the years to...

That's exactly how I felt with the Ma Lin Carbon. Ive had a few blades like that over the years.
