I see that pattern, but that can´t be all ;)

Pavade played it very well. It´s difficult to understand why so many others couldn´t and thus enabled Sabine´s miraculous rise, but no-one can´t take that away from her.

Found a new owner in the practice hall, sometimes it´s so easy ;)

Do you have an idea why that should be the case other than varying qualities? The only thing between the MK and the MK Pro is the sponge hardness, that shouldn´t be the determining factor?

Final offer: 35 Euro with the rubbers mentioned or 30 without, plus shipping. Might otherwise just save it for when I get even older and play pips on one side myself, which would make 99 grams a piece of cake ;)

Maybe I can make this more attractive by adding a black Joola Dynaryz Inferno in good condition and a red Yinhe Moxa Neptune 0.7 mm, like new.

It´s a pity KS have withdrawn from manufacturing competition equipment. As mentioned in another post they still have a Diamond TC that they pair as RTG with the (crap) Chinese Nitrx rubbers for USD 215.99 and a Kido 5 ply paired with Fortissimo rubbers for 149.99, but you can´t buy separately...

Me too. It is slightly oversized at 152/159. From the days when I had one as the Karakasevic version I don´t remember if that also was that size, and wouldn´t have measured...

Found this recently, very good condition Killerspin Diamond TX with "custom" (non-original) handle, flared, 99 grams. Good feeling as I remembered from when I had one many years ago, even quite well balanced, but overall still too heavy for me and my choice of rubbers. I have fond memories of...

90 grams, 90 Euro asking price ;) Played in three sessions, rubbers glued only once, condition like new Shipment via DHL insured and trackable at cost according to location of buyer.

Indeed. From Rakza Z to Helix Hybrid you would surely find the Helix more lively, even if you choose the same sponge hardness. From Rakza 7 to Helix Platinum you will find the Helix a LOT more lively, but shouldn´t try to balance that by using a harder sponge. If your current setup feels too...

This is true, but what makes a good synergy is a personal thing, not a general thing. So to find out if G1 works with ALC for the OP, he´d need to try, which makes a lot more sense than trying something that somebody thinks would theoretically work better with the blade, for them. If the...

I think that´s where NUZN 55 does a very good job :)

I am not so sure. They have the hybrid theme very well covered with C-Rasanter, NUZN and HY-Q in varying degrees of stickiness and power. Chintac has more stickiness than those and really hard sponges, so it´s got the "Chinese feeling" over the table and in service receive, but quite some speed...

Me neither, but when changing or even just trying out a blade I would always recommend to keep the rubber one knows, regardless of what I think of it.
