Have you had the opportunity to play with rakza z ?
No I have not. I tend to use Donic, Xiom and Butterfly rubbers. Now I only use butterfly inverted rubber.

Hi,
what rubber was he using? std H3? H3 provincial? ........? Red sheet so it wasn’t H3 Nat blue sponge. Do you know whether it was boosted?
he has a very nice compact action with excellent wrist snap!!
Got a summary of what's going on in the video?
I'm a fan of the blind test system, however, shouldn't that have been done first?
Great video as always, the idea is great too. It's just very hard for one man to compare two rubbers that need different technique.
If one has that in mind when watching the video then he'll find it helpful and insightful.
Once again - great video guys and I'm pretty sure we're all very happy here that your lockdown is over!
If the provincial and national versions are not as tacky as tje commercial ones and also are heavily boosted then they would come out with more spin and power but then again you will be comparing 2 rubbers one which is only factory boosted amd the other is boosted which is illegal in ittf's standard or in a more simple te "unnatural". Though both rubbers have factory boosting, if you will compare both rubbers with the h3 with more noosting seems not a fair comparison because why not just boost both rubbers to have a fair result??
It may be technically illegal but it's still what every good player does when it comes to using H3, I don't think anyone here would argue that unboosted H3 is a fast or powerful rubber at all. I don't think ITTF rules are going to apply to anyone here, but I have always agreed that those boosted sheets of H3 aren't necessarily the best choice for most club players.
The player's skill is not the focus on the topic since you are dealing with comparison of properties between 2 rubbers. Basic experimentation principles would tell you this is not a fair comparison. Do not get me wrong, i heavily boost my h3 and other chinese rubbers with seamoon booster but to compare heavily boosted h3 with unaltered D09c is just not fair.

I would agree on this and i hope Dan would apply the same amount of booster to the D09c also.I totally agree on that point. It would be more reasonable to compare boosted versions of both sheets.
What I was trying to say is that it is absolutely necessary to boost H3 whereas it might not be necessary for 09C. But that fact says something too. The difference between unboosted/boosted H3 is night and day, whereas that remains to be seen for 09C, but yes, absolutely, to do it for both would be a more fair comparison. 09C with booster could be a lot better, or not much change, or worse...
The review has a lot of issues - the benefit of H3 when it comes to spin isn't on spinning up the ball, it is on the fact that you can play with a low of power and still have no limit on the spin potential. This creates a major mental problem when you are used to facing Euro rubbers as the rotation on the ball is immense compared to the expectation of a similar stroke from a Euro rubber.
So it is kind of put out there by stating that on a shot where you can use more power (looping from the table), you can get more spin, but it also means that in reality, most Hurricane users will not be spinning up the ball the way Dan did.
