  1. Xiom Omega VII euro vs Tenergy fx

    07E pops the ball up on pushes more than any other rubber I've tried, but similar to T64 in that regard. Requires adaptation. 07 Asia is easier in that aspect. 07 Hyper pushes long and low but often too long.
  2. Butterfly Tenergy 19

    To suck more money out of curious people.
  3. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    I wasn't sure about Harimoto, what languages he speaks, that's why I didn't say it with certainty, though his last name is obviously Japanese. In any case, all points I've made are valid. Proper logic would dictate to only loudly praise yourself in an individual game or sport when something...
  4. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Ha, it can depend on the sport. Volleyball for instance they definitely celebrate alot, but they're trying to keep team morale up and be supportive, but that doesn't exist in an individual sport or game. You'd instead be trying to pump yourself up. Does it need to be vocal every point? Does that...
  5. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    No, it's not. I could compare to any sport or game in existence really, the same still applies. Think tennis, whatever, if your brain can digest that better. I just happened to have been watching Tyson highlights at the time of writing lol.
  6. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Does a boxer congratulate himself every time he lands a punch? Winning a point is only 1/44th of the work... A ping pong player should at least win a game before any form of celebration, otherwise you're just setting yourself up for disappointment and you look stupid. Preferably you should wait...
  7. Hurricane 3 MEGA THREAD

    Can also throw Hurricane 8 in here. Much less break in needed than unboosted H3, similar performance.
  8. Is my fast blade a “crutch”?

    Yeah recovery can take a bit longer if you lift your leg. Usually you want to do it when you're pretty sure you're hitting a winner, but yeah, need good agility.
  9. Is my fast blade a “crutch”?

    To me it feels like you actually get more power if feet are not planted at the moment of impact (one foot lifts), but instead if they are planted before building the momentum for the swing. For reference, since some of you think Aruna has the most power, that is what he does sometimes.
  10. Is my fast blade a “crutch”?

    If you win more with the "faster" blade then just use that one and improve from there. Having what you feel to be an unfair advantage is exactly what you want in any sport. HL5 (well HL5x which is similar) is super fast though, especially if you're putting a tensor on forehand, then the speed...
  11. World’s Fastest Table Tennis Shot!

    Ovtcharov stepped through the ball, you guys did not, if anything you stepped away. That made most of the difference...
  12. From ESN to Sticky Rubber

    Rakza Z will give you both the tackiness and the catapult. It is slower on blocks than some rubbers, which is mostly a good thing depending on play style.
  13. What is the best looking table tennis shirt?

    Damnit, you made me waste money on unnecessary shit. I can't just see that and not buy it... in 2 colors, and the shorts.
  14. What is the tackiest hard-sponge rubber?

    With the advent of picking different colors than just red and black, I've found gluing used condoms to Hurricane 3 has brought my game to a whole new level. It's the next big thing in table tennis. So sticky!
  15. Adam Bobrow vs World no. 7 Lin Yun-Ju

    Top players would likely prefer not to have some random like Bobrow coming to challenge them in serious matches and recording them, as they have nothing to gain and respect could be lost. But having him come for some tomfoolery is unique and offers a special brand of entertainment, allowing...
  16. Dignics 09c vs hurricane 3

    To be fair, when I directly tested unboosted H3 Nat vs T05 top speed it was a 3hr old sheet of H3 vs a super old sheet of T05. It's been noticeable that it took about 8+ hours to reach it's top speed characteristics on the H3. Other rubbers are faster out of the gate. Though boosting may...
  17. Xiom Omega 7 China Ying and Butterfly Dignics 09c Comparison Test

    Oh ok lol thanks, I read that over and over again trying to decipher. Can you please compare these properties to 09C also?
  18. Xiom Omega 7 China Ying and Butterfly Dignics 09c Comparison Test

    I'm not quite sure I understand. You're saying that 07C has greater spin and control, but 07A has less spin sensitivity? Edit: Nevermind, I suppose that has to be what you're saying. Thanks
  19. Xiom Omega 7 China Ying and Butterfly Dignics 09c Comparison Test

    How does the Omega 7 Asia compare to these in terms of spin, spin sensitivity, and linearity?
