Silver, just a couple of small things, Moristos are not Tensors.

Also Joola Badman is gone now.

I'll check tomorrow but I'm pretty sure Octupus, Shark and Orca are all Tensors.

And Joola Tango Metallic and Tango Titan...I think they've gone as well.

um Moristo series are tensors, why the heck would they make them in Germany and not in Japan then? I've played with Moristo 2000 and they play just like the million other tensors i've tried (donic, tibhar, andro, xiom, joola)

Ok, I'm not saying you are wrong, but this reasoning is pretty short sighted.

In fact, It's caused me to update the original article...

you have to think about it, the Japanese are known to keep a lot of their stuff to themselves. Nittaku make every other rubbers in Japan, why would they make a "glue-effect" rubber outside of their own turf.

The one i tried has the same sponge as the Platin soft (same color, same smell)

I don't see why it has to be a Tensor. ESN makes shitloads of rubbers that aren't tensors...

I can guarantee you that Nittaku doesn't make the rubber. A german mfg (ESN) makes it for them.

I also highly doubt (99.9%) that Nittaku makes ANY of their own rubbers. They'd contract out a company to do it. Geoff would be able to confirm this.

Guess you should just buy a sheet and make a verdict yourself.

Yes Moristo are German for sure but pretty sure they aren't Tensors. The ITTF image has no Tensor logo and I don't have one on-hand.

Usually Tensor rubbers have this.

Correct. There is only one rubber-making factory in Japan who makes for all the brands.

But there are multiple sponge factories in Japan.

Donic, Yasaka, Tibhar?

Your claim of Moristo being non tensors is as solid as my claim for it to be a tensor, except that i've actually played with them.

You don't seem to understand.

All Tensor rubbers are German, but not all German rubbers are Tensors. "Tensor" is an ESN 'system', just like "Green Power" or "STS".

but you are simply saying it's not a tensor because it doesn't have a LOGO? Plenty of "tensors" don't have the tensor logo, so how would you know that it's actually a tensor?
