OOAK Table Tennis Forum

so, i have a couple of questions...

i am playing with destroyer and transformer 1.5mm...

if i take MB 1.5mm it will be slower than transformer 1.5mm?

how big of a difference is between 1.5mm vs 2.0mm in spinreversal and control department...

why is MB better on revolution than on destroyer? destroyer was also advertised as hard outer layer with low throw ideal for glanti...and is more expensive ...

is MB more durable than transformer?

Hey Iceman, from AA's answer to my questions, I am hoping that 1.5mm MB is in between 1.0 Transformer and 1.5 Transformer in blocking speed.

i think not...

i understood that is slower, so 1.5mm MB would be as 1.8mm transformer...correct me if i am wrong AA and pls answer my previous questions if you can...

OK then I am hoping that 1.5mm MB is not faster than 1.5 Transformer in blocking speed but with more speed available for attacking strokes.

Look at DMS website, Transformer is graded 35 in speed and 100 in control. Megablock has 30 in speed and 105 in control.

For ordinary rubbers and LP a black rubber is normally slightly softer than a red version of the sam rubber. The red color is said to make the rubber harder.

@Ragnolo- i really dont know! i always have played red on my BH to add a confusing effect, as red is associated with forehand. you really would have to try. back in the days some frictionless pimples were only available in red, because the creation of slickness through UV ligt worked far better with red than black.



MB is definitely slower than transformer, no doubt! its really hard to answer that question without measurable units. i would say that that its a noticeable difference, but not one thats revolutionary...similar like the difference between transformer 1.5 and 1.0
so go for 2.0 if you want more control and even shorter but slightly higher blocks or 1.5 if you want more reversal. luka apparantly plays 2.0- dont know if that still is the case
it is better on revolution because MB generally has a higher throw. on destroyer it was too high for my liking with no spin balls, so revolution neutralises this, given that its throw is lower. MB 1.0 is still substantially slower on revolution than on destroyer, revolution is only a super small tad faster than destroyer in general.

@conrad young: the rubber doesnt suddenly accelerate when attacking but you can always do the motion with more body/hand/armpower to compensate- thats what i do.

ok, i see, tnx...

is the difference in spin reversal from 2.0 to 1.5 noticeable? if i am not using anti for attacking, should i order 2.0mm and not think about thinner at all?

i dont want to order 3 different thickness one after another anymore, like i did with transformer

My 1,0 mm is on its way. I might be able to help once I have it. But I only played a couple of times with 1,0 Transformer on my current blade. But I can compare it to 1,5 mm Transformer.

i know about transformer, i tried it all..

i am asking about MB...i would like to have maximum control of 2.0 but dont want to sacrifice much spin reversal for it...

I meant that I can compare 1,0 mm MB with 1,5 mm Transformer on the same blade soon. That might help.
