rubber

Looking to treat myself to some new rubbers as my old ones are looking worn now. I've played with various rubbers for the last few years and I have a reasonable idea of what I like. I want control over speed and prefer to achieve spin with non tacky, grippy rubbers. Sponge hardness of...

Hi, Does adding more thin layers of glue on rubber and blade give more control, feeling, speed and spin too? Like is there benefit to using 3 or 4 thin layers of glue on rubber and 2 layers on the blade? Or is it not true? Would like to know different experiences about this. Thanks.

Timo just revealed in a year-end review, that he plays a new rubber on his backhand since the beginning of this season. He mentions that this new type of was developed by him with Butterfly and that it is one of the reasons why he made a step up since then. He also said that it is already on...

Hello everyone, I wanted to know which blade should I go for. I'm way stronger on my forehand than my backhand. I like to topspin and loop with my forehand. I prefer blocking, short touch with my backhand. What rubber should I use for my backhand ? I would like a hard rubber and quite tacky.

Hi, I am a returning player, ive played since my childhood days.. I am 39 now, havent played since 2012-13.. ive a health issue and was advised to take up exercise/sport by my doctor, so table tennis was the obvious choice, I purchased the TB ALC + Rakza 7 (R7) for my first blade, as it was...

Hello Low intermediate level player here. Was wondering if anyone has any reviews for the dna series for the Medium and soft variants (ttd only did the hard). Recently damaged my bh rubber so looking for a new one. Main concern is its looping ability + BH flicks against backspin. Was also...

Hello guys! So ive got a bit of a problem, im playing with bluefire JP03 on my forehand right now and i can feel that i need a bit more speed. So i have thinking about changing my forehand rubber to something a bit faster. I like the control and spin that bluefire produces but its a bit...

Is the H3-50 a "viable alternative" (for us plebs) to the rubbers used my ML and XX on their backhand? (Similar to how the commercial H3 is a "viable alternative" to the H3 provincial/national?) Or, are their backhand rubber not some variations of H3-50, rather a completely different beast? I'm...

I'm using DHS Hurricane III (not NEO) National 39º OS tuned with Falco long booster the blade is a Donic defplay senso V3, I like the rubber because my FH is sidespin & spin oriented and I like the control in the pasive play and spin doing service. My question is I feel I can't profit full...

Hallo guys, I'm currently using Fastarc G1 (2.0 mm) on both sides of a TSP Swat. G1 is both easy to use for pushes and topspin play due to the low catapult in the low-force domain. However, it requires a relatively high amount of arm swing and minimum acceleration to get activated due to the...

HI i have currently been using DHS skyline 3-60 37 degress with 2 layers of falco tempo long for a long time. but my last to sheets i recieved have been really soft, much softer than before. so i have decided to give it up. im now looking for an new medium hard chinese rubber for my backhand...

Hi All, Currently I am playing with Primorac 5-ply wood, battle 2 45 degree on FH, and T64 on my BH. Latter I though of speeding up my game a little and tried xiom zetro quad blade with friendship battle 2 49 degrees on my Forehand and Blufire JP1 on my backhand (I borrowed the paddle with...

Hello, so I was wondering what would happen to a rubber that is cut and glued on but never played with. Will all rubbers naturally fade after a while or is there some way to prevent this.

Long story short, i am using a TB ALC with a 39˚ hurricane provincial BS on my forehand. For my backhand, it Donic Acuda S3, which is a big mistake. I have came to the conclusion that I am more suitable to play with harder rubbers, as it has the potential to make the ball go fast or slow as I...

New Sanwei rubber - first look - Gear Hyper I got accepted by Sanwei as one of the beta testers for Sanwei's new rubber (hurrah!) and just got it recently from their UK distributor (Topspin). I'll be reviewing this rubber over the next week or two. Note: Review complete and can be found further...

Hello, i boosted a Dhs Hurricane 3 Neo (commercial) and want to continue it in the future since i like the feeling at all. Now i want to boost a Hurricane 3 Neo prov. bluesponge and wanted to ask if its possible to reboost a bluesponge aswell. I already searched on several websites and didnt...

Hi, I am using Stiga Mantra S as my forehand rubber on the Stiga Allround Classic , but i am not satisfied with it. So i decided to replace it. I want something more spinny and with higher throw angle.

I have been window-EJing (the window shopping of EJing?) for a while now. I noticed that rubbers from TSP and Victas, for example Regalis, Super Ventus, V>15, VJC>07 are stated to have x±3° OF hardness (whatever X is). How much does the difference in hardness affect it's playing...

i'm using a Dawei 2008 rubber that is about 1 years old but still seems to be well. But sometimes when im top spinning the ball goes out of the table even with a good contact and closed angle. So if you are looping fast with a old rubber which in my case is the 2008 xp can it effect your...
