I don't have an opinion specifically for EL-D, but rubbers tend to shrink if they are factory boosted or there's too much pressure applied when gluing. To my experience, the only rubber that is not shrinking is Nittaku G1.

I would definitely recommend Butterfly Innerforce ZLC. I've tried it with various setups and loved it. Can't go wrong with this one.

It's been about 6-7 months since I've tried it and can't remember all the details. From what I can recall, I didn't like the feeling and vibration, the throw angle (higher than I like) and didn't like at all the blocking.

I've noticed that your current blade is Xiom TMXi which is the same I play with. All I can tell you is that I tried Super Viscaria for 1 session with T05 on the FH and Dignics 05 on the BH and hated it. Didn't like anything about it. I much prefer TMXi in all aspects. I really liked the...

Yes, I will use the same rubbers. The difference in dwell time and vibration that you mention, is it only due to the bigger head size and thicker handle? Does it have any other difference in composition?

@Giangt Apart from the difference in head size, would you say that TMXi and TMXi Pro have any significant other differences in play? I'm currently playing for 2 years now with normal TMXi and I love it. Is it worth trying the Pro version or is it exactly the same?

Interesting. In 2021 Xiom introduced something similar, the iSwitch Vega Pro rubber, but I haven't seen it in any store. https://xiom.global/product/vega-pro-iswitch/494/ it's a pity that this technology hasn't been implemented in all their rubbers.

I have never played with Chinese rubbers and never heard about pre-applied glue. So H3Neo doesn't need additional glue on the sponge? You only put glue on the blade?

By "Chinese factory glue" you mean DHS glue?

Custom charges were covered by the forwarding service or by you when the package arrived at Germany?

Happy that I've been of service! How much was the total cost?

Did you get it from Korea with the forwarding service i've suggested? https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/lf-xiom-cho-daeseong-tmx-pro.31952/post-456351

A bit expensive, but cuts rubbers like butter. https://www.zwilling.com/ca/zwilling-superfection-classic-13-cm-household-shear-41900-131/41900-131-0.html

I've changed rubbers today and weighted the Tibhar Duo glue sheets that I had used. The weight as you can see in photo 1 is 5.42grams. I had also kept an older pair of same brand glue sheets and their weight is 5.30grams (photo 2). So I guess an average weight for this brand is about 5.3 -5.5...

Α looser grip is a must in all cases so that your strokes are smooth and spinny. Ιf you hold the racket too tight then your whole arm is stiffer and the strokes become slower and with less spin. If we assume that the problem of the OP is hyperhidrosis, I guess putting grip tape on the handle...

I haven't ever bought any clothes from Aliexpress ever, but my guess is that they will be of very low quality. But since they are dirt cheap, you can try them. With regards to sizes, there is a size chart included, so theoretically by measuring yourself you can chose the right one. Also you can...

Palms are getting sweaty because most probably you hold the racket too tight. Try relaxing your grip and you won't have this problem again.

Rubbers for "penetrating" attacks...

Couldn't agree with you more! That's the reason I don't like the Lebruns at all: They're so competitive and arrogant that project an almost disrespectful attitude. I like more the quiet, respectful manners of players like Boll, Ma Lon, Lin Yu Ju that are amongst my favorites. In fact I've had a...

I have to say Franziska put quite a fight against WCQ. I had it for an easy 4-0...
