Tony, you might know or might manage to find out who makes the Young Shine Dingtian rubber?
Is it RITC or DHS factory or...?

I honestly wanna know since I like it so much. I can't say I have much desire for H3 with blue sponge after trying it.

Unfortunately, there isn't any information on the cover or the rubber like not even their office address.

probably rubbers that are easy for players who used to play with esn rubbers to transition to.

correct

DHS is also trying to get market share in there.
So far, for the past year of its launch, it hasn't been doing too well.

I'm a bit suprised those
8-80
9-80
9-22
9-20

I thought 9-20 would be like a brick (unboosted), but its topsheet is more lively than H3 (there is no tack on H9)

so it is all pretty good

Feedback on H9 within China isn't too good... can't satisfy everyone.

The colorful h9, i suppose?

Anyway, regarding products testing, is it going to be posted in this thread, or another new separate thread?

I'm sorry, I've been very busy.
Have over 20 blades, and maybe 20+ rubbers over the past 3 months.
I had a bit more time earlier in the year, but pretty more busy now with training, including having an SA player visiting me to get ready for the world champs. I put her in some of the best training centers around (this would be a nice thread too, should I share)

In regards to the samples, I can help answer questions on what I have tested.
Writing a review (and sorting out photos and what not), I think will take a lot of time and not something I have now.
I wanted to do that with Loki in Jan, and didn't really get to it

Yes, that is why I hold back.
But DHS is knocking on my doors, so I decided to test them out.
I some times wonder, how much of (China) it is the rubber and how much is the color.
Some Asian countries are still pretty conservatives and even today, I don't see too much color.

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

So, i'm boosting 5 rubbers now.
I need to include a 6th...

How often do you boost ALL COLORS?

the 5 are, the 4 x H9 colors, and my black FH rubber.
so currently, sitting on my bench is only missing a red, then I have a full house.
how cool is that

Thank you very much.

Pro11s, uranus pro, and of course the h8-80. Have you tested those?

Please make the thread about SA player's preparation, pretty sure there will be many great insights for improvement of a mere mortal like me

Anyone tried LOKI RXTON 1 Special?

sorry, only saw your message now.
SA player's,
SA womens champ, I arranged her to train for 2 months in Taiwan.

Then the whole team (4 male and 4 female) went to India for 2 weeks before arriving back few days ago.

The level is quite different, so it is not a matter about winning, but trying to get over 5 points a game.
Judging by the singles draw, it won't be easy.
There isn't much preparation other than the "2 weeks", less than a month to go.
That 2 month, was self funded by Danisha. I got her training for free, but she still had to cover the rest.

I haven't use pro11s, but it looks very fancy and quality seems good in the hand.
Uranus Pro, maybe soon
H8-80, I enjoy this on my BH, I like hard sponges (DNA Pro H was too soft for me).
H8-80 is a good rubber, don't bother about H9-90, as H8 topsheet is more grippy and has more spin. It is not as spinny as H3, but for BH it is fine.
For FH, should would want more spin, and H8-80 may just lack that.

I have, but it was only few mins and few months ago.
it is pretty bouncy, but for its price ratio, and trying to keep the range "non confusing", I didn't introduce it into South Africa.

It is a good rubber, but I would need to test it again to say more about it.

Many thanks for the update

I shall humbly wait for your further insights
