Couldn't agree more! Anyway not sure what ESN stands for but it's a German company that produces rubbers for brands like Donic, Andro and Joola hence why some people say that certain Tensor rubbers are the same just wiht a different company logo on the rubber sheet. ------------- Blade - Ma Lin Extra Offensive FL Fh - Boost TC 2.0mm Bh - Boost TC 2.0mm |

What are some of the main ones they produce? What do you mean by "true tensors"? It seems like ESN is some imaginary place, just seems like a lot of speculation, are we completely sure of any rubbers they make? ------------- Mizutani Jun ST Tenergy 64 Tenergy 64

ESN Elastomer GmbH Industriestr. 17 D-97461 Hofheim i.U. GERMANY They even have an address! As a headsup - most rubber and sponge manufacturing is *not* done by the Table Tennis companies. Rather, many TT Companies contract with companies like ESN to PRODUCE rubber and sponge to their specifications - like Donic, with the Formula Series and now Barracuda, Joola with the original Air Rosnet and later with the Energy and Express series, Andro with the Plasma series and now Hexer, etc. etc. Some companies have SOME manufacturing in house (BTY) but even then they outsource manufacturing for some products (for example BTY, Donic and others sell "made in China" blades for $60-$140)... Does that help? ------------- http://bit.ly/vLMhuB" rel="nofollow - - RC1042 . AVX P500 : 007pro + rasant |

. Bump and up are universal across all internet forums and is not related to table tennis. Posting bump or up is usually done by the OP (opening poster) to raise his original post to the top of the list of posts after it doesn't get any replies for an extended period of time. This is done in an attempt for it to get attention instead of being buried under all the other posts.------------- Blade - Yasaka Sweden Extra FL Forehand - Mizuno Q5 2.1mm Backhand - Xiom Vega Europe DF 1.8mm |
