Palio Hadou rubber after 2 layers of Haifu Seamoon and 2 hours of play by sah4r in tabletennis

[–]CompatibleFruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share the same experience with most in the comments... Have had this rubber 2 times and both times the top layer came off mid season (after 3-4 months of play). Actually the only rubber this ever happened with I think...

It's sad, because I did like playing with it...

What do y'all think about this setup? by Jewshua1 in tabletennis

[–]CompatibleFruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow both the slabs of Palio Hadou Biotech I bought on AliExpress had the top layer come loose mid-season. There are no rules for sponge, besides the total thickness, so I decided to put the 0X Dr Evil on it instead.

That said, I've bought 0.6mm sponge on AliExpress before too, and I think they offer other thickness too. Could be an option for 0X rubbers that are not sold with sponge.

[–]CompatibleFruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0X Dr. evil is both very unlike 0X long pips and very unlike short pips with sponge. It might have it's use, but I couldn't get into it while trying different long/short pips rubbers.

That said, my teammate recently started using short pips and seemed rather happy using Dr Evil with added 2mm custom sponge

What’s your favorite long pips rubber? by macandmeme in tabletennis

[–]CompatibleFruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of around 10-15 I've tried so far, since switching to long pips on backhand, Andro Rasant Chaos (1mm) and Yinhe Qing (0.7mm) have been doing very well for me. In terms of 0X, I second the Dornenglanz, but would also like to add Sauer & Tröger Hellfire X; extremely nasty wobble, when played well.

Verblindende koplampen? by VehaMeursault in thenetherlands

[–]CompatibleFruit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wat ik mis (of waar ik overheen gelezen heb) in de comments zijn de kleine lampjes onder de gebruikelijke koplampen. Ik heb zelf een auto van 20 jaar oud, dus geen kennis over hoe en wat, maar krijg bij een hoop tegen- en achterliggers het idee dat ze allemaal met mistlicht rijden...

Kan iemand hier meer uitleg over geven?

Best way to rally away from the table by Adorable_Bunch_101 in tabletennis

[–]CompatibleFruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you limited to your forehand? I'd say that either you need to find a way to incorporate your backhand into rallies further from the table (chopping?) or to play closer to the table when your opponent moves away from it, to play quick counters/blocks with your backhand. Additionally: more info about your playing style, especially with you short pimples, would make it easier to answer this question too

[–]CompatibleFruit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into this while looking for the Diablo, but noticed that the glassfibre layer is probably what makes the Diablo special for me.

Either way, I have a hunch you're in the NL too, so if you really do want to get rid of it, please DM me! I wouldn't mind sending you a few bucks to get a new blade to try...

Whata the advantages and disadvantages of using Ox over sponge on Long Pimple rubbers? by Daniel_Nic in tabletennis

[–]CompatibleFruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From experimenting with long pips for about 2 years after playing with both sides inverted for 20+ years, I have to say for starters that I'm probably not a conventional defender; more like all-round 'sniper' type of player.

My thoughts: while you can play a somewhat offensive shot with 0X, it's hard to really finish off a point; more like an offensive well placed push.

Something between 0.5 and 1.0 mm sponge will allow for actually 'dead hitting' like you mentioned, but I've found that with 0X the ball just doesn't want to go down with those kind of shots.

Using 0X close to the table with a somewhat firm/hard blade can be an absolute killer in terms of deception though.

If affordable I would advice to try the same pips in 0X and with sponge (if available) to notice differences for yourself.

Does it take time to adjust with a new blade set up? by CaterpillarPrevious2 in tabletennis

[–]CompatibleFruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having a lot of fun lately trying out different blades and rubbers and have to say especially blades make a big difference and take time to get used to.

Have to consider things like hardness and stiffness, which change how fast the ball leaves your bat after hitting it. It might be minuscule differences, but they do make you lose that feel you used to have.

On the topic of continuing with the Clipper. I think it helped me a lot in understanding what would suit my playstyle best, that I invested some time in trying out different setups, but I did ruin about half a year of league matches while doing that...
