Table Tennis Reviews

I went into this test with low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Tibhar Hybrid K3 is an awesome hybrid rubber. Its grippy and slightly tacky top-sheet ensures firm contact with the ball, facilitating high throw loops and spinny pushes.

In this test, I review two brand-new “carbon-inner” versions of two 5+2 composite blades that I have previously reviewed, namely the Donic Original True Carbon Inner and Tibhar Fortino Pro DC Inside blades. 

DHS describes the H8-80 as a rubber that offers both speed and control, producing a solid feeling.

      Last summer, while being affected by Covid-19 restrictions, I evaluated the Nittaku Hammond CR inverted and Nittaku Sonic AR short pimpled rubbers playing against my Newgy 2050 robot.

 This time, I was in for a very special treat as I got to review two brand-new Kiso-Hinoki composite blades from Nittaku, i.e., the Hino Blade 5.22 and Hino Blade 7.22. 

The switch to the slower 40+ ball has resulted in the development of hybrid rubbers with hard yet lively sponges and tacky topsheets as alternatives to traditional sticky Chinese rubbers like Hurricane 3...

A mega-test of four all-wood all-around blades. If you are a returning reader of this blog, you know that I tend to review blades in the OFF categories, but this time around we decided to mix things up a bit and focus on 5-ply all-wood all-around blades. 

The DHS Fang Bo B2X blade indeed is an upgrade and more forgiving relative to the regular B2 blade.

The DHS Classic 08x is a relatively slow blade with a surprisingly stiff feeling that produces strong reverberating vibrations.

A fast and bouncy composite blade with a soft feeling.
