why not just try the pip on your current bat - rather than building a whole new one. The clipper wood is going to be stiffer and fast as will be using Platinum H on FH. It will be hard to work out what you like if you are changing lots of things at the same time.

So I've had a similar train of thought and development with my backhand. Add to the fact I'm a lefty I feel I get pinned on my BH to much. Basically I lose confidence in my BH and play a weird roll shot instead of committed to the shot. Or push. I feel myself do it - but dont do it half as much...

So i dont know - im in a bit of a EJ stage testing stuff before the league starts again as Im not bothered by results atm. But my best results with the Cybershape were with Joola Ryzen Fire and Ice on it. Ice in particular is pretty soft. Recently im changing between going back to Tenergy and...

He has such an amazing style. Problem for most people trying to replicate is how active and mobile he is. He doesn't stop moving. His reflexes are amazing.

So I’ve done very similar to some on here in that this week for both training sessions I’ve used my (very old) Primorac Japan with T05 and T19 on. And it was so nice to play with. Didn’t feel that slow but the control was brilliant. Dispite the tenergys being pretty old spin was great. And...

Haven’t tried the CMD but have tried the Fire and Ice from Joola. Very underrated rubbers I think. Decent spin and great control.

Exactly - personally I think its very fine nuances. And impossible to know really. Unless you actually know Timo 🙃 Its funny, hes saying you only need a bit on the blade, whilst putting so much on it looks like he's decorating a wall!

Intrestingly Iba Diaw posted a gluing video - in the comments section he replies to someone talking about his rubbers. He replies saying "Can you buy the same racket as Djokovic or the same club as Tiger Woods ?" https://youtu.be/wiZm_DfdBq4?si=CFfCgfrz1UNk2dD4 A couple of things. though: Is...

Amazing - I've played Geoff before, top player. I was lucky to take a set or two off him.

Yeah hes super nice - at the Manchester feeder he was the pro that spend the most time in the fanzone, playing against people, using the VR headsets and chatting to anybody who approached him. Always look out for his results now

i doubt it would be speed glued as his racket would be tested. But i imagine the rubber would be special for him from Donic so wont be the same as off the shelf. Prob a custom thickness and hardness and weight

i have spectol on a bat to try short pips. Havent payed short pips before, and only tried LP for 2 months or so last summer. Let me know how you get on as interested to hear your progress. do you have coaching/ specialist coaching for pips? Or watching anything in particular online?

Speed glue drys really fast - doesn't need half a day. People i know that still use it glue 10/15mins before playing.

I think its a preference thing rather than speed glue. Ive tried the multiply layer thing and tbh much prefer just one layer on the blade and one on the rubber. You have to remember too - hes changing rubbers very often - so it doesn't need to be fixed for months. Probably just uses a thin...

Just had a quick look at your blades @Wakkibatty - they look great - the Stingray one is mad (in a good way!), :-D Im in agreement with @NDH - this discussion is so hard as I feel we are hopeless to work out the answers. In my area there is a drive to get more juniors in the game by a couple of...
