This time I am testing two 55-degree rubbers, i.e., the Xiom Jekyll & Hyde C55 and the Andro NUZN 55. As the game has slowed down and become more physical following the introduction of the 40+ ball, manufacturers have been developing increasingly harder rubbers that allow for more efficient energy transfer. The C55 and NUZN 55 are two modern takes on this approach.

This time, I’m reviewing two blades from XIOM’s affordable Hayabusa range, i.e., the 5+2 ply composite XIOM Hayabusa ARX and XIOM Hayabusa ZLX blades.

I am excited to share my first review of product from YINHE, which is a growing brand that currently supports The Democratic People's Republic of Korea National Team and several Chinese provincial teams and Super League players.

In this blog post, I am testing two new additions, i.e., the Haifu II Sea Moon II (HSM-II) and the Haifu Sea Moon National White (HSM-NW) boosters. The HSM-II is described as an enhanced iteration of the renowned HSM-REG booster, whereas the HSM-NW booster is purported to have more speed, sound, and power than the HSM-NY and HSM-NB versions.

It is time to switch things up a little bit and take a break from the test reports. This time, I will share my thoughts about blades that I think pair well with short pimpled rubbers.

On this occasion, I set out to test and compare two versions of the classic Nittaku Acoustic blade, renowned for its excellent feeling and control. Specifically, I tested the Nittaku Acoustic SG (SG) and the newly released “G Revision” (GR) versions. These blades differ only in the design of the flared handle and the wings.

Hello TT-enthusiasts and TT11 blog readers! It's time for another blade review. This time, I tested two 5+2 ply composite blades: the Xiom An Jaehyun TMXi Pro and Nittaku So-Ten.

We’ve got something special for you this time: a side-by-side review of the Tibhar Alexis Lebrun Krypto Carbon and Tibhar Felix Lebrun Hyper Carbon blades, which are used by the talented Lebrun brothers who have made quite the splash on the table tennis scene in recent years, including Felix, who reached the semi-finals of the 2024 Olympic Games.

In this review I will be reviewing and comparing two recent additions to Nittaku’s and Donic’s top-end rubber range, i.e., the Nittaku GeneXTion and the Donic Bluestar A1. Both rubbers have non-tacky top-sheets and semi-hard 52.5-degree sponges.

This time, I am reviewing a special, recently released blade: the top-end Nittaku ACTEC. The ACTEC is a new addition to Nittaku’s German-made Meister (German for “master”) series, which includes the Nittaku Holz Sieben, Nittaku Basaltec Inner, and Nittaku Basaltec Outer.
