  1. Opinions on Grip tape

    Consider using a tennis "overgrip". An overgrip is a much thinner grip meant to wrap around a normal tennis racket grip so that it is a cheaper option to replace the overgrip rather than the full grip once worn out. So they make the overgrip thinner without any "padding" so that it does not...
  2. USA Lily Zhang new equipment

    Damn...nice quality pic. BH Tenergy 05 perhaps...
  3. USA Lily Zhang new equipment

    If she is using butterfly on FH, seems it's not Dignics or Tenergy. The ITTF logo is on the left side of the rubber and is a large square shape very similar to what Joola uses with the Rhyzer series. T05 or Dignics ITTF logo and larc number should be on the right side and a small narrow...
  4. Dhs long 5 light

    prott.vip says something a bit different than TT11 : *The structure is the same as Hurricane Long 5. Small surface and fine handle, suitable for high level teenagers.* https://www.prott.vip/Product-Details.aspx?productcode=Long5Light
  5. any news about harimoto?

    Last month he participated in the 2020 Japan AllStar Dream Match, which was really just exhibition (men vs women). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wCthfys790&feature=emb_logo The Japan's "T-League" is starting up November 17 (without spectators) and I would assume Harimoto will continue to...
  6. Joola Vyzaryz Blades

    Yes, I saw your review and I was in contact with the 'coach' before regarding hinoki blade. The price certainly is where I want to be at ;)
  7. Joola Vyzaryz Blades

    very nice review! The Freeze and Xiom's 36.5 ALX both seem to be softer, slightly more flexy versus Viscaria. Do you have a preference between Joola Freeze and 36.5 ALX?
  8. Who here plays with griptape on the blade handle?

    I play tennis also and due to humid weather I put the same non-tacky, Wilson Advantage tennis 'overgrip' on my paddle. Very thin, absorbs sweat well and never felt a loss of feeling.
  9. Timo Boll - How I glue

    TTD review had the weight at 74g. When I bought mine a few months ago it was 73g. I saw another player at 74g. Timo's rubbers are mostly over 77g with the heaviest being 78.2g. Do we think he requested Butterfly to send over their heaviest batches...or evidence of Butterfly factory boosting...
  10. Why I think Jun Mizutani, not Ma Long, was the real star of the 2016 Olympics...

    Mitzutani also had quite a match against home-court-advantage Hugo Calderano (seeded 36th). In most of the later games the Brazilian fans were hissing/whistling during Mitzutani service. Mitzutani won the first 2 games, losing the next 2, then winning the 5th game. The 6th game Mitzutani was...
  11. Is my fast blade a “crutch”?

    Having used Rhyzer Pro 50 on HL5x (thicker core), I would say that you should be able to produce much faster ball and also at least as spinny with the 'amount of effort' from the clip you linked. If you are using the HL5 with a very upward stroke and the brush is not propelling the ball...
  12. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    Does anyone know if the 36.5 ALX is the FL handle the same width or smaller than the Viscaria or is it slightly larger? (mainly at the throat)
  13. CNT's Mock Olympics

    damn. LJK is not f***ing around. DHS fans with H3 on both sides around the world are twiddling their rackets as we speak. :D:D LJK must have a huge bet with someone about spanking the entire Chinese National Team with Red on the FH.
  14. Liang Jingkun's Rubbers (Chinese Warm-up Olympics)

    For my eyes, when the paddle is horizontal and doesn't have bright light shining on it (washing out the color). It looks like regular (National) H3 Orange sponge. Surface looks tacky also. @6:03 in his LGY match: https://youtu.be/3XquWmxpOPI?t=363
  15. CNTs LJK now using Viscaria

    @zeio mentioned in the other thread about LJK telling an interviewer he made a mistake bringing the wrong rubber or sponge hardness and had to use RED. Looks to be a mistake. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?23777-CNT-s-Mock-Olympics/page4
  16. CNT's Mock Olympics

    He also used Red on FH in both of the uploaded mixed doubles matches. Certainly rare to see. Unless he really loves Blue sponge on BH... But does DHS National H3 even come in Red with Blue sponge?
  17. Yasaka Hovering Dragon rubber

    Many thanks for the details, looks like a poor marks that guy gave. I was expecting tacky but if it's not and with that kind of fragility...guess with that kind of weight they really made the topsheet soft and/or thin.
  18. Yasaka Hovering Dragon rubber

    I'm not sure if Hovering Dragon and Thunder Dragon are Asia only marketing. But does anyone have link or know what are the different sponge hardness of Hovering Dragon? It seems to have a Medium hard and Medium soft versions.
  19. THE FINAL! | TableTennisDaily Team | Ep 13

    Crazy high quality play and congrats! Silent Assassin's 'chop' to setup an over the table BH kill was a thing of beauty. :cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFcxfg_pFSY&feature=youtu.be&t=707
  20. New FZD blade? LOL

    I guess along with a Legacy Carbon handle, Stiga will be including some Sharpie markers for the 'wings' ;)
