  1. Yinhe Pro 05 First Impressions

    No idea about pro 01. Pro 05 is softer than Butterfly Inner ALC
  2. Dignics 09c vs dignics 05

    Well, I tried T80 at BH side and couldn't get used to it. Drive works well, brush loop also well, good blocks and flicks but drive loop is tricky. D80 fixed it
  3. Thoughts on Vega X ?

    I didn't say anything like that. Just mediocre shots tolerated by Rakza 7 for example would not work with Vega X or MX-S. Quality active shots are indeed rewarded
  4. Thoughts on Vega X ?

    Played Vega X couple of sessions on BH side. To me it feels like a bit softer MX-S. Lower throw, loop against backspin go low and long but require engagement. When done right often wins a point straight away or return is often awkward enough to kill with FH. Spin is good enough, passive blocks...
  5. Inverted, Linear Rubber suggestions please.

    Battle 3 38 degrees. Rxton 9 was already mentioned. These are relatively easy to use, still tacky and quite but not extremely hard, playable without booster. Hurricane 8-80 also could be an option.
  6. What to replace vega europe with?

    Glayzer != Glayzer 09c. It's harder to play than a regular Rakza 7 but more rewarding on good shots though
  7. Fang bo b2 vs Yinhe pro 05, which is closer to long 5 in terms of flex and dwell?

    I've just got Pro 05 from Ali. 87g (asked for 88 but it's even better), 1350Hz, 5.95 thickness, will compare to my B2 90g (after sealing, before was 89g), 1270Hz, 5.90 thickness. With a bit less glue used I shed up some extra weight, so Pro 05 is 182g now, B2 was 187g and annoying me with it's...
  8. Weight limits on rackets?

    Yes, ChatGPT recommended me the same. With 1 euro coin my BH became snappier again so I could deliver fast and spinny openers more consistently without hurting FH much.
  9. Weight limits on rackets?

    My 190g head heavy setup shifted my game towards much more risky FH oriented style with big strokesso I often step around and open with FH instead of relying on BH. Elbow hurts sometimes so I look for a lighter/better balanced one now. I have no idea how people play with 200+g setups
  10. Is D09C the ultimate, the holy grail of rubber?

    Well no, but I have to deal with lobbers as well
  11. Friendship 729 battle 3

    I am fine with the price, just curious what did they change if anything
  12. Is D09C the ultimate, the holy grail of rubber?

    I bought a sheet for between seasons play and see, so far I like it. D09c brought me a better quality topsheet than Battle 3, meanwhile I wouldn't say it's less forgiving. Smashes became a bit more difficult though. I drive a BMW 🤣
  13. Friendship 729 battle 3

    I've noticed it became much cheaper, 22 EUR versus 28 EUR previously. Just wondering how did it affect quality.
  14. How to know if D09C sponge is degrading

    Degraded sponge becomes softer. I didn't manage to go that far with D09c yet but I seen that with softer rubbers when grip is still OK but they begin feeling mushy.
  15. Glayzer vs Rakza 7 on BH?

    Glayzer works well on B2 as well, finally I can apply more power without overhitting. Be careful when transfer it between blades though as the sponge is very fragile.
