Thanks Carl, now you got forum members ready to jump off the bridge. Here we go again. Sheesh.

Oh, I thought it was Der_Echte who was gonna jump off the bridge for that Clipper when you heard it had nails and glue put into the handle.

Now this here happens, when two old school EJs start diggin´ in their crates...
Does anybody know this blade?

 

[Suga D]

Or maybe this one here?

 

[Suga D]

It´s not over yet....

 

[Suga D]

Found anotha one

 

[Suga D]

and anotha one...

these rubbers were bought @schölermicke's shop in frankfurt on the 3rd of September in 1985 (!!) and are still unused.
And again i just didn't have the heart to try 'em... But maybe one of these dayz....
We even found the bill.

 

[Suga D]

and then there was this one...

this was pretty popular BEFORE the Black&Red Rubber Rule.
FH: Friendship 729 blue sponge dark red 2.0
BH: Donic Slick 2.0 in green (!!)
Blade: Taico 60

That bluesponged Friendship played completely different than the one with the white/pink sponge. The one with the white sponge felt even more sticky than the bluesponged one.



this rubber is absolutely amazing. After nearly 30 years it STILL can lift a ball easy..

And at last we found this rubber here. The topsheet is very darkish red. It actually came with a white sponge, but due to the VOCs in the glue (from topsheet to the sponge) it turned PINK!!

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

Hahaha. Suga D, you've out done yourself. Even finding a receipt. Hahaha. That's too much.

Okey, I thought I'd might as well take some pictures of the stash I got stored too lol (my current set up with HH3 is on a post on first page) here is the rest I have:
First of my experiment racket, Yinhe/Galaxy W6 (also called loop king) with fh: Tenergy 80 and bh: Friendship Super 729fx blue sponge.
Whenever I want to play shakehand, with one of my backup rackets, this is the one I usually end up using, The Throw angle/beast loop you can get with the Tenergy 80 on the W6 is pretty sick (although I'm not known for liking Tenergy 80 lol), it's not faster, but has a looper and likely longer trajectory than my HH3, a long dwell time too, with that said the bh rubber was just choosen to have something on the bh lol, It's do'able but not the best. and on about every other aspect I prefer my HH3, but it's a really nice blade for the price if you like looping (and sidespin for that matter!)

Second, cheap version of HH3, DHS PG 13: I could notice a different comparing it to HH3(different handle too so might make a bigger difference), but for the price it's recommendable
NB: Rubbers are 100% worn

Third, My first custom racket, which was not too bad, but dead feel light pinched and nothing compared to HH3, whenever I try it now it just feels bad lol. Though the rubbers I put on it are usually almost worn from the HH3... lol. (And yes, I put fh rubber on bh side, gg)

Fourth, and last my cheap, 25 usd pre - made (and highly likely fake, due the fact I doubth Hurricane III and Tin Arc are supposed to feel almost the same...) but better than the Stiga 4 and 5 star pre-mades I've tried (which costed twice the amount lol)

That's all. [emoji13]

Nice collection, kaizoku.

 

[Cornel]

Kaizoku, how much the PG13 differs from the HH3 in terms of speed, control, stiffness? Do they have a similar composition?

It's a bit hard to say, as I've heard the differences in the PG's can vary from blade to blade (less quality control)
Also, the composition is supposed to be the same, but the quality of the material is highly likely a few notches lower than that of the expensive once. Also because my HH3 is penhold, and PG-13 is Shakehand grip it can give different impressions. But overall I do not think they are that vastly different. Definitely not as much as the price indicates, but I do feel like the HH3 is a notch or two above in quality and feel but a bit hard for me to pin point. (as now the rubbers I have on PG-13 are worn out Bluefire Jp rubbers, while those on HH3 are used only about a month with not that many hours a week)
