I made a request for deletion because I don't have any use for the account anymore. There's nothing I can gain from posting here, and nobody is interested in what I can offer either. It's just endless arguments and egoism. Of course this is not specific to TTD; I've deleted accounts from other...

I keep checking every day to see if TTD has deleted my account yet, and it's funny that what I see today is you being petty.

I can post more context about my play level in all of my posts if you think that would be more useful for other people and would mislead them less. I'm not intending to be malicious here or trick people into giving a pass on equipment that they would enjoy or benefit from. I'm pretty sure you...

Okay, so if I understood everything right: You have a problem with my posts because I post them and not the content of my posts. You wrote as much. Nobody else has a reported problem with my posts. You wrote as much. Nobody else on the forum "calls out my brand" because they weren't around...

I'm curious; is there actually anyone else who thinks I'm masquerading as an expert who has some kind of real insight into Butterfly's design process? Like, are people reporting my posts to you?

I don't feel like arguing endlessly, but thanks for the offer. I don't really feel like posting in a place where the staff has a personal problem with me either, to be completely honest. It's clear I'm not allowed to post here.

It's unrelated, but since you kind of brought it up and made this all about me and not the rubber: I've been flamed for making comments about things of my own design in places where people didn't know it was me. You know, objectively correct insider info, from the horse's mouth. Still got...

No, I didn't say that. I said it's not designed for 2000 level players or for wood blades. Maybe? Maybe not. It's a product they need to sell after all, so it still has to be friendly and useful with a lot of setups. The sponge shouldn't be that much harder than something like Hurricane 3 or...

No, not insightful, just an opinion. It'd be insightful if I posted the performance curves of the rubbers and showed where different people fall on it. :) I do plan to give Zyre-03 (or a similar new style rubber) a good 4 months or so at some point, because that design should be the way...

I get what you're coming from, and I don't disagree (Hell, I was one of the proponents of using tacky backhand rubbers before it was cool) but it's more a thing about expectations. The rubber is most likely designed for quite high level players using stiff blades. You're going to get wildly...

DHS and many other CN manufs use Shore A. ESN uses Shore O. Friendship 729 used to use Shore O, but they've changed to Shore A since the "new Battle II". As far as I know, Butterfly uses most likely JIS K 6301 A. The number is slightly higher than Shore A of same stiffness, but comparable. You...

Thanks, but I'm not looking for anything specific. I'm pretty sure I've already bought the for-now perfect blade for me with the 5X Inner. The rest is just experimenting and buying backups in case I tear the handle off that one.

RPM/mm^2, my favorite unit. Use it every day.

To be fair I feel like Zyre-03 is not exactly made for USATT 2000~ players. Maybe more like 2400. Just being honest. So no, that'd be in the category of "not seriously using" :p. What about if they used a 4mm pre-made 5ply? Would it still be as valid?

Generally it can also be thought of as a higher frequency vibration with a lower amplitude; so shorter and weaker.
