Aliexpress has big annual sale in 1 week. Are you getting something?

[lodro]

recommend me a good store with good table tennis balls to buy? I want to use for my robot but i want a high quality ball.

When you say High quality ball, what do you mean ?
International tournament grade balls are very expensive and depending on the robot might get ruined too.
I am mostly using these:

these are surprisingly round , give a decent straight flight -path and can take a good whack.
I am using the tennirobo.

This would be good for you I think. This ball is a very fine game ball that I often play with. 30 balls for $16 is good

Thanks Tensor and Lodro! I ended up going with these doublefish balls because that is currently what I have in my robot. A lot of them still feel almost new after multiple days a week use, but sometimes they crack when i practice my looping and it hits the edge of my paddle. My regular table tennis dealer can't get these double fish anymore either. He used to get them even cheaper than this, and in the box of three. 30 should replace all the ones ive cracked or lost in the garage in the last 1.25 years.

I'm from Australia and I get these balls. They're ITTF approved and are the balls we play with at weekly pennant. $65AUD for 72 is a pretty good deal I'd say. Not too sure how much shipping would be for overseas buyers though.

I just put down another order for Sanwei Target Provincial, Battle 2 provicinal, Yinhe Big Dipper and Yinhe Moon speed. Oh and some Palio 3 star balls just to try it out

 

[longle]

Him included. I have battle II regular in 47 degrees unboosted on cheap HL5 copy (stuor long 5) and it plays amazing. I can confirm. My only issue is that I should have ordered 45 degrees and boosted it a little just so it will be easier to play with. Right now it requires perfect timing and perfect technique to execute powerful topspin. If I'm late the ball just slips into the net, but the control I gained after switching to it from T05 is enormous. I'd never go back to fast uncontrollable tensors like that.

I've also had palio hadou, it's a decent rubber for its price but nothing special. Just a slow, a little tacky chinese rubber. Very controllable and good for beginners. Battle II on the other hand is on another level, its spin comes very close to what one can make with DHS Hurricane 3 series.

Please let us know how the gold version plays when you have it. I might order it as well if you will be able to confirm the words from the review.

I've played all Battle 2 versions so I may give you some reviews, IMO the B2 Gold is great for FH but the best B2 I would say is B2 National Blue Sponge. If you can find it, skip Golden and go for it

Cool, which target provincial did you get? Theres Pro 3, Provincial Blue, and another older provincial?

 

[hclnnkhg]

Pro 3, the one with a reflective red cover.

 

[TensorBackhand]

Pro 3, the one with a reflective red cover.

Ah ok, i have that as well. Have you used this before?

I find this one also requires boosting to get enough speed and throw angle.

 

[TensorBackhand]

Nobody gonna try Moon Speed 53? Thats one rubber Im very curious about

 

[hclnnkhg]

No I have never played with any of the Sanwei target variants. I don't boost either. Does it not come factory-tuned?

 

[TensorBackhand]

Its not factory boosted. I found it to be extremely slow and low throw without booster. But with booster, it became quite acceptable, but still not as good as Jupiter 3.

Hmm, I guess I will find out. When you say extremely slow, is it the slowest you ever play with? Could you name some rubbers that are slightly slower and slightly faster than it?

This thread said it's similar to Battle 2, which shouldn't be too slow for tacky Chinese rubber: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/sanwei-target-pro-3.27594/

I'm planning to put it on my FH, so its low speed would be less of a problem.

Maybe it was the slowest rubber ive ever played with, apart from pre-assembled rackets. Similar to a very tacky unboosted hurricane. I remember i had shoulder pain and huge frustration with this one.

Speed is low but the bigger issue is the throw angle. My sheetnow has several weeks of break in as well as booster, so the angle is more normal. But i found a very difficult angle, combined with low speed.

Maybe you should just get some seamoon since its on sale as well.

Definitely slower than Battle 2, but they are similar in the sense that they have firm dense sponges.

Big Dipper and Jupiter 3 have bouncy fast sponges.

Just bought a Palio CAT with two 61 seconds rubbers with 1.5 mm thickness, planning to have fun with a super light bat for some inverted chopping.

In addition, a sheet of Palio AK47 Red for backhand at some point.

Hi...I'm interested in buying Palio CAT, but when I checked the price on Aliexpress, it was no less than the usual price..Which Aliexpress store did you buy the blade and the rubbers from?

The blade is from Playa Ping Pong, rubbers from Hi-Sport. When I bought the blade it's 11.2 GBP, which is cheap enough for me.

Just ordered it.

The only thing that bothers me is that i wanted to try an inner ac blade like sword 968 and then there are newer blades in higher quantity and from more sources availlable like the Sanwei Dragon Dance and the Sword Vsea which just got available for my country as well... but all of them are not very cheap and there are literally no decent reviews (except for the vsea from gan) for the blades.

I guess in the end it will be a battle between the inner EJ who wins or the force of habbit and the budget player in me who goes back to the pro 01

Great! You would be the perfect person to review Moon Speed 53 because you were using Xiom Vega before. They are supposed to be quite close. Let us know how you find it.

Also if you need a Inner fibre blade, why not use the Yinhe 05?
