Hina Hayata H2 from Nittaku has the W968 construction too. Might be something worth looking at

It's like Zhang Jike situation again, never used his personalized any of the Zhang Jike blades from Butterfly. Seems strange

Any update on this? Seems like she is not using her personalized blade from Nittaku (Hina Hayata H2)

Okay this makes it much clearer to me now, thank you all for replying!

So basically, thicker sponge for long pips = more control thinner sponge = more deception = harder to control OX = most deception = hardest to control? Does this summarize it well?

Anyone know which sponge thickness is the "best" for modern defender playstyle chopping far away from the table? I am planning to use the Barna Original Legend Long with a 0.5mm sponge thickness because of this video showcasing it ( Guy in the video was using 0.5mm sponge thickness. My question...

That makes sense. Currently I have a used Tenergy 05 on my forehand, bought it from a guy that didn't use it anymore so I got it for a cheaper price. I think it's pretty good but I would like something a tad bit slower like 5% slower.

Which hardness do you recommend on my aruna off? I was thinking maybe Rasanter C48 on my forehand maybe C53 or is that too fast? and the R48 on my backhand

That's interesting, why not hard chinese rubbers like the Hurricane 3?

Interesting, did you boost it?

Hurricane is definitely the standard for chinese rubbers. However I have read some reviews about a similar chinese rubber, the 729 Battle 2 and some have said that it is basically a better version of the Hurricane 8 and the Hurricane 3 Neo. Do you think it's worth to try out both? I have other...

Any thoughts on a similar colored rubber (green) like the famous Rasanter series and the Tibhar Quantum series? :) I would love to play with colored rubbers btw but of course it's not a must :)

I was using a completely different blade and rubber setup. I was using an all wood 7 ply (ALL rating) blade with Tibhar Aurus 1.9mm on my backhand and some fake tenergy 05 clone that does absolutely not play like a tenergy 05 but more like a hard chinese rubber with a tacky topsheet. I feel like...

Blade: Joola Aruna OFF Composition: 7-ply (Hinoki, Koto, Carbon, Kiri Core, Carbon, Koto, Hinoki) Hello guys, here I am again to ask for some rubber recommendations like I did in the past. I have improved a lot since then and I have quite solid fundamentals. So more about my playstyle, I am a...

Thanks guys
