Oh, learninTT, I see from your sig that you have already done business with Zeropong. Let me urge you to ask him about this!
Then tell us what he says.

Those appear to be quite small in size and advertized to weigh coins and gems . Can you balance a TT rubber sheet or blade on top of it to weigh it?

Place a lightweight container or a suitable platform on the scale and press "Tare" (which probably every such scale has). This subtracts the weight of the container or platform and zeros the scale.
Or, just do the subtraction yourself.

Thanks iskandar taib. I didn't know .01g scales were so cheap now.
Almost never need .01g resolution, but sometimes could use knowing if ".1" is really ".05" or ".15".

My personal requirement is to find a tacky, reasonably hard, forehand rubber that will allow me to learn and improve in TT without having to worry about boosting it or having to change it every so often when the factory boost wears off.

I did read your earlier post before you edited it and know you feel similarly as well.

Maybe I should go for the Hurricane 3 (non Neo) but the provincial/national ones with the not-so-hard sponge are too expensive. Perhaps I will try the Gambler Burst with Thor's hammer sponge next to see if that meets my requirements.

While I respect your suggestion I do not think Tom, from Zeropong, will change my views. My personal requirement is to find a tacky, reasonably hard, forehand rubber that will allow me to learn and improve in TT without having to worry about boosting it or having to change it every so often when the factory boost wears off.

Apparently, Sanwei has produced 2nd generation of the Sanwei National Target with the picture of Gavin Rumgay on its front cover. Has anyone try this new STN? How is it differ with the 1st generation of STN?

HI fmarek, did you notice any difference between the rubbers with and without the face on the package?

I use Sanwei Target National inverted rubber (the one in the blue package like in the picture, with or without Gavin face on)

I love it on BH. It is too soft for me on FH. I prefer classic feel of H3 on FH.

STN is good quality product. Tacky. Tackiness comparable to H3 or H3Neo. Tackiness lasts forever, given that you wash and cover rubber as you should.

No smell.

Consistent. Throw angle is a little higher than H3 commercial, so it is easier to play BH.

It is not factory boosted, and who needs booster on a cake sponge anyway?!

As mentioned, it comes with the blue cake sponge. That is the reason I use this rubber. In the past I tried just two porous sponges. Never liked them. The one on the STN is good. As we know tiny air pores in the sponge compress to the degree and then boom! explode. So this rubber is not linear, and also it is not a tensor. Up until you hit hard it acts as normal linear tacky Chinese rubber, softer than H39 (DHS scale). So on short delicate game it is perfect. Your BH serves will be loaded with spin. Blocks are controllable. But once you hit harder sponge comes into the action and fires ball out with nice "click" sound. This click sound is produced by exploded air in squeezed pores. I use it as a guide to fine tune the force I put into my BH stokes. If I am attempting to attack and there was no click sound, I know that it is very likely ball is going to come back to me, as I did not do a good job. However, if there was a "click" then ball is catapulted like it should.

Topsheet is delicate. After just one intense week the topsheet will look like horses were dancing on it, yet it was just 3g ball. It is easy to leave permanent marks on the topsheet, like small bruises, scratches and etc. Mine did not tear. And weary appearance does not affect tackiness and game quality.

STN rubber will open up it secrets on the second week of use. If you patient enough you will appreciate it after 10hrs of play. As mentioned, given that you wash properly, it will be tacky. It does not look like tackiness comes from some substance sprayed onto the topsheet, but rather it is built into the topsheet. Once you wash away all dust, ball powder and sweat tackiness is there again.

For me personally STN is a find of the season. Very glad I purchased it. I showed it to my friend, he played, then started using it as his main BH rubber too. Then ordered 2 more red sheets. Yeah, the amount of spin he is putting on the ball makes me regret my decision to recommend it LOL. Just $30 AUD.

EJ or not I dont know ... but if you are not putting your racket on the scale to see whether you are above or below 190g then you are yet to discover the whole new world.

STN uncut - 64g, cut to a bit oversized blade - 54g
