K3 vs G1 vs P1

Yes I saw that in reviews AFTER ordering it. I would never have ordered it if I knew.
6 months? How much did you play weekly?
Did you clean it? storage?

Yeah cleaned it with water and sponge and used protective sheets. My playtime varied a lot but I mostly played during the summer around 3-4 times a week and then once school was on only once a week or every other week

ah yes not a lot then.
I do 2 hours daily pretty much as I have a studio where people come to play.
So I guess mine will last maybe 3-4 months. for that price its retarded.

K3 will not last that long even, 3 months is very good for K3

Hybrids just don’t seem very durable according to many reports. The most is D09C but it costs a fortune. Rakza Z is also an option but the speed review makes me think to just get H3 instead for cheaper and H3 lasts longer anywaays

H3 is slow to me even boosted. Never tried Rz but yes was told its slow too. R7 is a little faster.

Felix Lebrun OFF-

Can you please tell about this blade? Compare with smth? Thinking about getting it.

It’s a very good blade for its price, good spin, okay speed, a very well balanced blade imo. I had K3 both sides on this blade and it felt really controlled but my preference is that I missed a bit of speed

 

[Haraold]

maybe the Bluestar A!,not tacky but grippy as hell,the tack it has slows of soon but then it holds the grippy charakteristics for a long time 5 months now and not wears down considerably fast.
§x Times per wekk 3-4 x per week,2 Trainings like 2-3 hours,the last hour is mostly for drinking beer,lol.
A League Match 1 Double 2 x singles and maybe a race tourney.
But it is Pricey as fuck,but should go down to 50 ssoon with all the new rubbers let´s hope,never played dignics so no clue if it holds that long!

I’ve been playing Tibhar K3 on both sides of a Felix Lebrun OFF- for a month about 2-4 hours per day and love it. However I am starting to notice the drop in tackiness and performance and am wanting a more durable alternative that I don’t have to worry too much about taking care of. In anyone’s experience how does Fastarc G1 got FH and Fastarc P1 for backhand sound on the Lebrun OFF- or my spare FZD ALC? I am an intermediate level player playing a two wing loop style.

Hi, I have viscaria ALC and started playing with g1 last year then tried k3 and had the same experience with it's tackiness wearing off too fast. Tried several other rubber for 8 months and now went back to G1 wherein I can confidently say that it is the perfect rubber for FH. Will also try getting another sheet for my BH.

 

[U871247]

Yeah I agree with your analysis on K3 and I do think G1 would be a little too slow for my BH based on other reviews. I’ve heard that P1 is faster so that’s why i’m considering it. How is G1 for forehand?

bro, you have a SALC blade. It will compensate the speed u need for BH.

 

[U871247]

So im sitting here tripping on the fact people say G1 is slow on a viscaria blade.
I see you are now playing it. Would you still feel this is slow?
Im playing Viscaria G1 max both sides and its super fast. My friend has same blade with the fastest donic rubbers out there. My setup is faster.
So what would you say now? Thoughts on your current setup?

I agree on this I also have vis and g1 on FH and when I twiddle it on some rallies to check how it does on mybh I noticed that it wasn't slow at all. Plus it has really good control aside from the speed and spin I'm getting which is why I will get a 2.0 thickness for my BH once I get enough funds hahaha

@U871247 this thread was a while ago now hahaha. I’ve moved on from G1, P1, and K3, along with my SALC. I’m now using Provincial W968 with boosted H3N Blue and D09C. Both are better than the rubbers mentioned above for my game
