I won't even begin to attempt to explain Berndt. He is like dadaist performance art.

Who's your dada, Baal?

Mingbai le, xin pengyou.  (Got it, new friend).  You will soon find that the more you post to table tennis forums such as this one that many threads will go completely off the rails and into uncharted new and irrelevant swamps yet to be drained, wherein lurk the specters of sarcasm, invective (mild to quite insulting), impertinence and sometimes even interesting ad hoc ruminations that have nothing to do with table tennis or feng shui, for that matter.

It happens all the time.  Table tennis players who post to forums can run the gamut from insightful and informative to el sarcastico extremo to borderline wacko with everything in between.  It's just the nature of the beast.  All efforts to tame the Wild West of pong tt forums have heretofore proven unsuccessful.  But if you want to take on the job of being the new Marshal in Dodge, by all means go for it, and best of luck.  Just don't forget about table tennis' boot hill, where many a timid table tennis soul rests in uneasy peace.

Ok. Here is the sarcsm answer key. The original poster was serious, but asked a question that is asked here about once every month and the answer never changes. Consequently every one of my comments on this thread was sarcastic. For example I wrote one from home in the US and at the time Liu Shiwen was not nearby. She was in China. The sarcasm in the Tenergy 05 question (and the others too) is that at one point we had one new thread every two weeks on that.

I won't even begin to attempt to explain Berndt. He is like dadaist performance art.

Being sarcastically challenged is neither particular to humankind in general or even to some members of this forum.  Let's see how you rate on the Mann Sarcasm Meter, designed for me by my faculty adviser at Ohio State (might have made Phi Bate, except that Richard Belzer was in the same classes all the way from Elementary Sarcasm 101 to Advanced Sarcasm 606 that I was.)  

Is Waldner the greatest player of all time?  Oh hell yes.  Barna, Bergmann, Rozeanu wouldn't have a prayer of beating the mighty Waldi, even if he didn't use hidden serves, drew down with a Barna Personal, Bergmann Popular, or whatever rig Angelica used.  Even with a 3-ply Hock No. 74, he'd have crucified Miles and Reisman.

Is boosting immoral?  Oh hell no.  Everybody does it, even to their frictionless epoxidized long pips.  Boosting, if you lather on the right product, is almost as effective as speed gluing was, and questions of morality aside, it probably won't kill you.

Chinese loop?  Good God no.  They're all to a man and woman flat hitters; have been since the days of Rong Guo-tuan.

Do I miss celluloid balls?  Well yeah, i guess I do.  But I still enjoy playing pocket pool with my own.  They're reasonably round, just the right weight, and dress out at an even 38.864570624 mm. (more or less).

Not really.  I knew immediately that he was being sarcastic.  It was very easy to tell.  

Though to be fair, having some sense of the personality of the person doing the posting helps a LOT.  Itcan be very hard to detect sarcasm if you don't know the person very well or at all.

back to your main topic. I don't know or can't say it is real or fake, due to the fact that my level is not professional. At my level, any blade and rubber is good-as-pro if it is sold as cost-as-pro.

c'mon, they are making money, don't stop them, bastards!
There is no real "pro", "prov" or "NT" H3 in the market.

they use the actual true Chinese rubbers, whch aren't that tacky, more bouncy and low throw. they're tacky enough to hold the ball and spin it and it gives the ball the required lift to go above the net, but low throw mena it gets to other side faster, and it's more difficult for opponent to attack. no one sell sthese on the market unless u go to china to get it.

like the new rubbers made for plastic ball. donic blefire m1, andro rasant powergrip, mantra series, mxp tibar, hurricane 8 boosted, even the national is good. don't buy stiga rubbers the don't have much grip or spin tried the, before they feel like dead rubbers. ball doesn't sink on the other side because not enough spin. stiga is good for blades tho.

best blade for tenergy.. tenergy has one of the highest throws so look for something that has low throw like carbonado 190, ZJK SZLC or ZLC, viscaria, butterfly innerforce zlc. even stiga infinity vps v works. I tried it and went wel even tho I thought that tenergy has too much softness for it

How do you know the Amazon stuff is real ?

on the site it said from some table tennis store. tho I didn't trust that so I just looked at the seller store review and the customer ratings and review/ answered questions. also u can prob tell from the details if something is fake because legit manufacturers write the correct parameters for the rubber like spin speed, control density/ hardness ratings, prob weight. also the thickness and the color. if they don't say that anywhere u could prob say it's fake.
