  1. Yinhe Big Dipper 5 Review: A Budget No-Boost Alternative to Hurricane 3 Neo with Some Tradeoffs

    Hey all! This week I'm back with a small pause in my Donic BlueGrip adventures and with a review of a rubber that I wanted to test in depth for a long time, I'm sure many of you have wondered how the Big Dipper 5 plays as well! It's an interesting budget rubber, for the price it has, the...
  2. Anyone else hate scrubbing through long table tennis videos?

    Hey everyone, I'm a software engineer who’s obsessed with table tennis, and I’ve been working on a simple tool that automatically cuts the dead time out of table tennis training/match videos, so you’re left with just the rallies. When watching my own training footage back, I kept wanting a way...
  3. Donic BlueGrip S1 Review: Better Speed-Control Balance Than BlueGrip S2

    This week I continue testing the Donic BlueGrip series with the BlueGrip S1, a hybrid tensor rubber that I actually quite enjoyed testing, so it will stay a bit longer on my b2x test blade to see how it fares in time, as some others mention durability issues which I haven't experienced yet (but...
  4. Donic BlueGrip S2 Review: A Control-First Learning Hybrid Rubber

    I'm back with a new hybrid rubber review cycle (I'm into hybrids ;) ), this time with the Donic BlueGrip series and I'll be reviewing theBlueGrip S2, S1 and C2.

I must say it's a great rubber and definitely one that I enjoyed as well...
  7. Nittaku Hurricane 8-80 Power Review: Not What I Expected

    I really like the DHS Hurricane 8-80 on my backhand, and since I did the review of it a couple weeks ago, many people had asked me about the new Nittaku 8-80 Power version. I had not tried it before and I couldn't let it go, so got a sheet all the way from Tokyo haha I was quite excited about...
  8. Yasaka Rakza Z Review: Still a good hybrid rubber in 2026?

    I know it's being a while since Rakza Z came into the market, and since the TTD team did a fantastic review on it and compared the rubber to the Dignics 09c, but since I have played with the rubber for a fair amount of time (so it was an easy review), and the new Razka 7 Hard came into the...
  9. DHS Hurricane 8-80 review: A great hybrid backhand rubber

    Hey all! I'd like to add here my personal experience and feeling using the DHS Hurricane 8-80 for quite a while on the backhand. Until now we had a couple other very nice posts talking about the topic, so wanted to make those more complete with my review. Mine is mostly based on the 37...
  10. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    Hey everybody, I come today with a (possibly) controversial topic after having tried 3 sheets of Dignics 09c (1.9 and 2.1) for about a year on 3 different blades (Nittaku Violin, DHS PG7 and DHS Wang Chuqin). My testing was done approx 80% of the time on BH and 20% on FH, as for my forehand I...

  13. Sharing my experience with robot (Nova S Pro)

    I was thinking about buying a robot for a while since I have tried a few in the clubs and my friends' place. Finally I got a Nova S Pro early this year and here is my experience so far. What a robot is not for: It is not a replacement for practice with a real person or a couch. It is a...
  14. Fakir Long Pips Review

    Hi everyone, this is KenKen. Recently I tested the der-materialspezial and wanted to share some im Fakir is designed right at the technical limits set by ITTF. The pimples are relatively stiff, with fine ridges on top that give it a slight grip. That extra friction means it doesn’t just behave...
  15. Quick Yinhe Jupiter 3 Tour Review

    So I ordered a 39° sheet of Yinhe Jupiter 3 Tour. It is the one with the blue sponge, and I have been practicing with it 3 times for roughly 2 hours on my Xiom Ice Cream AZXI (91g). Here are my impressions, since I will probably revert to my Mizuno Q Quality or Nexy Etika. It could be that this...
