  1. Tibhar K3 durability and alternatives

    my thoughts too, since its the same maker and almost the same rubber across the board. I would believe the durability isn't too far out between the different brand Maybe in the future, it will be better. with ESN experience in such rubbers getting better. But until then, D09C is way cheaper...
  2. DHS H3 and all versions

    factor in deg, sponge size soon your table need to be in 5D short answer for you, no!
  3. Tibhar K3 durability and alternatives

    so today was day number 8, and his K3 looks old. still playable, but he is having it replaced today. No wonder top European players change after 1 use
  4. 2024 WTT Contender Taiyuan 5/21-5/26

    The depth in CNT is getting shallower 6 KOed by foreigners in 1 shot.
  5. Tibhar K3 durability and alternatives

    I heard from a K3 user, that the rubber is only good for 1 week, or maybe at most into the 2nd week (and will be used for training only). look at 30 hours usage a week or so. He is sponsored, so can use as many as he want, but that is even more inconvenience than my boosted H3 that I used to...
  6. How does the German League do it?

    German clubs rely a lot on local sponsors since its a local community, it is common that local companies get involved. so all depending on what scale of club we talking about, it will also have a direct influence on the size of the company. France is very unique, the city (local gov) will...
  7. How does the German League do it?

    its a club culture community gets together to support the local club. players could be bought in, but the fans are still mostly local. The same logic with soccer basically. Germany has 10s of thousands of clubs, so it is no stranger than every table tennis player is part of some club. But they...
  8. 2024 WTT Contender Taiyuan 5/21-5/26

    they should have 2 smash or champions at the same time too. this way, more players can win the max points
  9. NOC taking away Olympic dreams

    so, here is another table tennis one (copy and paste): Also let’s not forget the case of Peter Jackson who was denied participation in the 1996 games (after having competed in 1988 and 1992 already). He travelled to Atlanta in the role of coach for Li Chunli. Imagine being at an Olympic Games...
  10. NOC taking away Olympic dreams

    how about the one where she was denied on the previous olympics and made it this time. however, she will be a first timer at this olympics I mean, wouldn't you want to have this "medal hopeful" go through some learning curve, before coming into this olympics and get a medal? ie, go through tokyo...

  12. Are there any blue colored hybrid rubbers?

    i'm fortunate form the batch I imported, its seems fine. my own ones, had no issues. to make a hybrid sponge - booster oil :p
  13. NOC taking away Olympic dreams

    As we conclude Olympic Qualifications, there is one player that is not celebrating his victory. Sadly, this country has a record of denying Olympic participation to many (yes, many table tennis players has fallen victim), as they will only send medal contenders or top 16 players. with such...
  14. Are there any blue colored hybrid rubbers?

    Loki Rxton III Blue to me is better than H9 blue
  15. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    I'm hearing this more and more often. especially those "training camps in China". Its a business model now. They put dozens of foreigners with their juniors and train together. the core group is still the juniors that are fighting for promotion. the foreigners are there just to fit in and...
