Equipment you want Dan and Tom to review?

[JJ Ng]

Dan et al are too Euro focused. They should also do chinese rubbers and address the pink elephant in the room: Are the under USD 10.00 chinese rubber just as good as USD 40.00 Euro rubber?

For forehand, it is. I buy in bulk from TT11 for H3 neo for my forehand is about $20 a sheet. Backhand I keep on going back to ESN rubber like Rakza 7 soft, EL-S, C-1, etc.

I have recently tried Big Dipper 40 degree ($15 a sheet) and Mecury II ($5 a sheet). I don't know. Neither makes a strong impression on me. Neither will replace my forehand nor my backhand rubbers for now.

Try Jupiter 3 with two layers of seamoon, it's a completely different matter.

Anything from Chinese brands except DHS.

I think that it will also be fun to make the fastest racket possible; eg. Speed glue, booster, all of that stuff on the fastest blade and rubber combo.

If they really want to do something like a speed-test / review / side by side comparison of the 10 fastest blades in the world, I've heard rumors about this upcoming, radical new type of TT timber one-ply (which hails from Australia of all places) that might potentially be a serious contender for that crown 😎😎

( ...or at least, that's what I hear people are saying about it -- not that I'm biased on the subject or anything... 😂😂😂).

I would like Dan and Tom to add one more additional column to their ratings table. This column should highlight the player level for which they feel a particular equipment is suitable. Overall, I am very happy with their reviews, however, if they can emphasize in their review on the which techniques are easier to do with a particular rubber or blade and which other techniques require precision and what kind of player (all-around, attacking, playing close vs. mid-distance vs. far) then it would be a huge benefit for the community and the entire review will make much more impact.

I will give it a shot but I don't think I will order from Aliexpress soon. Just no need or desire to try that group of rubber.

Agree. People are familiar with DHS products. Others, not so much.

Doubt Yinhe will pay him what Butterfly does.

Dear TTD
I would like to know what do you guys think of 729 battle ii national, reviewed by you guys.
This is an old rubber, however I still think they shine even when compared to H3Neo nat out of the pagkage.

 

[FrenchFrog33]

Compare the different Yasaka rubbers from R7 Soft, to R9, to RX.

Yep. They just have to work a bit when playing with real rubbers But it would be fun to see

What I would like to see are reviews of smaller, less known brands (at least less well known in Europe or the US).
Loki, Stuor, Lemuria, Haitian, Neottec, Tmount, Sunflex (although many might play a blade made by them), Nexy, and the brand/manufacturer who made the blade Lin Gaoyuan used recently (not his Butterfly blade).

I agree that I would like to see brands like Loki and Yinhe reviewed, but I highly doubt that would happen.

Personally I have found some Loki and Yinhe rubbers to be amongst the best rubbers I have ever tried for spin, power, and offensive potential.

 

[JJ Ng]

I think we all need to start a YouTube channel reviewing some popular "off brand" equipment!

 

[Metaxa]

I would have loved to see them test an Andro Gauzy HL CO...

Don't forget Sword too. I found a Japanese channel that reviewed a few of their rubbers. Sword Break, Sword Break Pro, Sword Golden Break
