Aliexpress Singles Day Sale 2023

This is a really good deal for a ESN rubber: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805240296752.html?pdp_npi=4@dis!!US $61.47!US $23.97!!!435.64!169.91!@2101cacb17012884596763942dac5d!12000033021793761!sh!US!1644340096!&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_aeChoiceSimplified.allitems_choice_2004525918348.11&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

$24 for Gold Arc 8, plus $4 off coupon. I'm pretty tempted to get it...

I bought this on Ali a little earlier for about this money. I'm afraid that GA8 will disappoint you in terms of durability. The first month everything is fine, the second month is not bad, the third month it is impossible to play.
At the same time, I did not load these GA8 as much as, for example, Longle This was only on the backhand, where the conditions are much softer than on the forehand.
Personally, I had 3 GA8 , and many of the guys in the club at the same time had these rubbers and the impressions were similar. Nobody plays with this now...

Yes I am using it and it is just another rubber, nothing special.
I compare it with a 10 dollar rubber , 61second Eagle. It is not better than that.

You are killing 😂

Good that i never bought this rubber when i was really thinking about giving it a try, but with your comment i think no, i will move on to something else, thanks for this comment which saved me BIG list 😁

I am planning to order Stuor Harimoto clone very soon, i wished if the seller gave me a better discount for it but he replied no, and even with black Friday and discounts it didn't have any offers really, so either i go with its price no matter what, or wait later that might have some special sudden discounts, but i can't wait wait wait..........

Yes but i would never lie to you ...unless it's for my benefit 😂

You can get table tennis rubbers ribbed now? For whose pleasure are these ribbed for?

Pretty soon there will be flavored rubbers if this trend continues.

That will be a feast for those cleaning their bats with the tongue 😜

Waiting for your review of Sanwei 75 Inner ALC.

Thank you sir.

I received the blades. You asked for the inner alc to test, but I took the outer alc with me to the club. No time to glue the rubbers on both.

I normally play with a Sanwei Feather Carbon. It’s also an outer alc with balsa core. It weighs 78,5 grams and with rubbers 165 grams in total.

The outer alc blade weighs almost 93 grams. 194 grams with rubbers. The Sanwei Gear Hyper medium-hard rubbers weigh almost 48 grams each. Glue weighs also 5 grams 😊

The outer alc weighs almost 88 grams. So I guess that blade will weigh ~190 grams with Sanwei Gear Hyper.
I have some Palio AK-47 blue sponge here and that will make a total of 170 grams. Those rubbers are very light.

Both blades came in a standard Sanwei box.
And to my opinion both blades needed some extra care. The blade head had a very smooth surface. I had no problems ripping the Gear Hyper rubbers of the blade. No wood tearing.
But the handle and the side of the head could use some extra sanding and care.

I’m just a beginner, started in august. So dunno if my experience has some value cause I can only compare with the Sanwei Feather Carbon. And I must say it plays more easily. I had no problems playing my own game and I believe I could place the balls better. So for me it’s an improvement only the weight is a little too much. Maybe I just have to get used to it.

And what is your benefit

I think i can buy H3 National BS version at good prices, for about $55-56 it is no brainer, no need for Loki when we can get the original, if it is that good then most likely i will buy more two, one for my future W968 if i buy that, and second for my current first Long 5X, i ordered one already which will be for my new second Long 5X, and the one on the old 5X which is the prov BS i will move it to DHS Hao III blade and i am all DONE [Hopefully].

And what is your benefit

No benefit, so no lies

I bought a green Tuttle positive energy rubber during this sale, just put it together with Palio Hadou 40+ and Yinhe U2S I bought earlier (also from Aliexpress).

The overall combo is 177.6 g. The blade is around 86 g, Hadou and Positive Energy were 55 g and 63 g before cutting.

Hadou is supposedly 42-44 deg (ESN scale?), and given that it is quite light, it feels harder than I expected, more like 37 DHS scale. Maybe some magic to do with its blue sponge. The topsheet is slightly tacky, can pick up a ball to around 10 cm. When I drop the ball on the rubber, it stops after 2 bounces, so not a bouncy rubber.

The topsheet of Positive Energy feels closer to Moon 12 than Rxton 3 (R3 topsheet feels tough rubbery). Good quality for a 5 dollar rubber. The topsheet is non-tacky, hardness-wise feels mediium, similar to Hadou. Not bouncy for a non-tacky rubber.

U2S is an updated version of U2, which I also have. The U2S feels soft for a 7-ply blade, definitely softer and flexier than the original U2 (which is reasonable, since S stands for spin). Finishing is good, the handle feels smooth and comfortable.

I will test this setup further tomorrow at my club session.

Why did you get these seemingly random rubbers?

Why did you get these seemingly random rubbers?

Hadou was initially bought as an experiment for my BH - soft tacky rubber, but now I have been using Rxton 3 and I don't think I will go for anything softer, so Hadou become a spare rubber.

I hope the reason for buying Positive Energy is shown clearly enough on the photo.

I think I made my best deal just a few days before. I got 2× Sanwei Inner 75 ALC FL for $25.09 each (including world's highest Hu VAT).
I also consider Yinhe M201 FL for $38.07 each and Sanwei HC-1S for $33.40 each a great deal (also 2 pairs of Battle III for just $95.03).

Please kindly sharing the name of store that you got $25.09 for Sanwei 75 Inner ALC ?

Thank you sir.

It was originally ~35$ in HWSPORT store - had it from the front page Limited Deals section (no cart, just Buy now button), but it got even better with $4 of $20 (max $16) sale and with the help of the so called "shopping credits" I got from the Black Friday (Merge Boss) minigame. I have never seen such a good deal for this blade once I started watching for it.

Anyone actually tried the Sanwei 75 inner ALC? Looks good on paper and in pictures.

Anybody tried this Meng Su brand? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...964e887e!12000036485401064!rec!US!1644340096!

It looks like a tensor style rubber, but I wonder if it is any good
