rubber

Dear TTD, I have been struggling immensely with my combination of the Cypress G-Max blade and the Donic Bluestorm Z1 Turbo (Max-Red) - and today, after losing 4 of 6 matches in tournament, I also lost my temper and in frustration ripped of the rubber… The combination, on paper, should be...

First of all, let's start with my understanding about 'throw'. In my mind, the 'throw' is the angle that the ball will leave the racket surface when you loop (or other stroke). The ball will leave a high throw rubber in tangential direction (in direction of brushing), whereas the ball will leave...

Hi guys, I am looking for a light set up with evenly distributed weight across the bat. This is very important to me as my current bat is a hinoki blade j tech with andro hexer grip/powergrip rubbers. While it is a great bat its very top heavy and seriously affects how i can flick my wrist. It...

Hi guys, I have been playing casually for 2 years with random $30 racket on amazon. I am eyeing on nittaku acoustic for its all around capability (slightly focus on looping). But I am completely lost on what rubber to choose. The general guidance I have after spending hours in forums is that...

These are the pictures of the Friendship 729 Provincial BATTLE II rubber that I bought about 4 months back and played very little with (about 16-20 sessions in total). After each session of play, almost always I cleaned the top sheet with Donic Bioclean and with Butterfly Spin refresh and kept...

Hi, I'm interested to hear of anyones experience with 729 Visnatura. Can't seem to find out much about it. Thanks....

Hi everyone. Moon Ui Bae (Oscar) is in charge of Nexy Korea, he designs all the blades and has built Nexy into the top TT webstore in Korea. Oscar just got done chatting with me on FB, he says he will very soon go live with a Youtube Channel speciffically for the design of Blades and Rubbers...

Some advice please for someone embarking on combination play, (pause for derision), using OX long pimples primarily for the backhand but allowing for the potential for 'twiddling' and inverted rubber on the forehand for topspin drives, loops and kills to finish the point. Even though I have...

Right now im using medium pips 1,5 on my bh. But im really missing the chance to open up with soft loops, or over the table with my bh. My main weapon is my serving and fh attacks. So if i should try a cheap but good bh rubber again, what would your suggestion then be???

I've been exclusively using cheap, tacky Chinese rubbers on the forehand because I'm a poor student who doesn't want to blow $50++ on a rubber every 3 months. Today at a practise session I flipped my racket just for fun to play pips on the forehand and inverted on the backhand. Surprisingly I've...

What's the fastest rubber: Fastarc G1 VS Tenergy 05 VS Thibar MXP?

What's the fastest rubber: Fastarc G1 VS Tenergy 05 VS Thibar MXP?

I was playing with a bluefire m2 and I felt it was very soft so I switched to a vega x but now I feel I am just playing with the rubber and not the blade just feel the ball bouncing out of the paddle I really liked playing with a rakza x but I dont know if its the right decision, because I dont...

It has been 3 weeks since I bought and sheet of 729 battle 2 gold edition and after a week and half it lost 100% of its tack (tackiness) and seems to be an euro/jap topsheet, the place I train its a basement and its dusty but I always clean it when I get home, I train for 2 times 1.5hour each...

I am 1.85m player and I consider myself as a begginer-intermediate, I read some texts about being a tall player and I can relate some of the thing like more of backhand dominat, although I also like to hit with fh but it feels "weird"?, but there were also a weird thing that a guy said, he said...

Boosted a TG3 Skyline Neo with Haifu Seamon solution, after a day i got amazing doming, applied another layer when dome was fairly significant and now dome is INSANE - it feels stuck in the domed position Judging by how firm it feels, i dont think it will ever flatten - this is my first time...

So I used a rakza X on malin soft carbon backhand and I really like the flicks, speed, and the overall of the rubber, but it is black because the seller glued it to me, and now I am with a fango bo x and the backhand rubber is a bluefire m2 and I think its really soft and I was considering to...

Which inverted rubber makes the loudest click sound ala speedglue era? I use the sound to adjust my technique. I've heard of Stiga calibra lt sound... but I'm thinking there has to be something newer to the market that meets my requests. The loudest/nicest sound Ive come across so far is the...

Hello fellow PENHOLDERS I was wondering what is your go too backhand rubber that you use daily... I would like to know the hardness also, would like to get a general consensus on what people prefer and choose to use for Rpb. From what I have seen the consensus is between tenergy and Chinese...

what is the difference between hard european rubbers and chinese rubbers? for example between Rasanter 53 or mx p hard and the Hurricane 3 Neo 40 provincial? in theory they have about the same degrees of hardness.
