Also sold for $34 on AliExpress as its normal price, just so people are aware. Authentication codes check out.

I dislike Anders Lind's and Alexis Lebrun's attitudes when they lose or something is not going their way. Both act out like 5 year olds. Lind's reaction to his 3-1 win in the group stage just recently is the perfect example. Won the match, he did well, and lost the fourth set when he was down...

You could also switch to a faster blade if you enjoy the Rozenas. Which blade are you currently using?

Stuor Apolonia ZLC feels less crisp than the original, but plays really well and it's a very fast blade. Stuor Viscaria is very very similar to the original. For 30$, it's an amazing purchase. The finish on these blades actually felt better than my Violin.

Beast vs Miikka hopefully, that is going to be one hell of a match.

For me, the ball kept slipping off of AK47 Red when lifting backspin, or when going for slow and spinny shots. When it didn't slip it produced a high quality shot, but otherwise it felt like playing with a 10 year old rubber that can't grab the ball. Moon speed had a very bad durability...

Never buy expensive stuff from AliExpress.

Before going even softer I was wondering if there were any fitting medium hardness rubbers. I'll keep playing with the Mantra Pro for a bit and see if I get more consistent with it while waiting for the Moon and possibly getting a few Vegas. Maybe even the new Korea. I definitely want something...

Thanks, I might try those. I did have a Vega X sheet and it felt softer, but unfortunately I gave it away. Will have to buy more of them.

Got a new stuor inner ZLC blade for fun and testing, and I quite like it. It's fast though, and it's even faster with Mantra Pro M on the BH and Mantra Pro XH on the FH. With the FH I can do quite well honestly, though I also have a new Big Dipper sheet to try on it as a slower option that could...

Gonna use a sledgehammer on my H3 sheet, will share my results soon.

My coaches can beat me easily with 10 year old rubbers that barely grip the ball. I've also seen an advanced player here win an entire tournament against high-intermediate players with a 5$ premade racket. Equipment really doesn't make that much of a difference before you are an actually decent...

Vega X is quite far from Tenergy 05. It's like 40% less capable. Significantly less spin and speed, but they both have a very good feeling when playing with them. I like G1 much better, although it feels much harder and less forgiving even though it isn't.

A friend of mine recently got the second option you mentioned, although on a Viscaria. I got to try it myself too and it's great, but I can tell you for certain his BH is far less deadly with a hybrid, I can block much easier compared to him using tensors. Those rubbers, and all the harder...

There is a thing called branding in business. If it's a popular brand, you pay for the name more than you pay for the quality. Just like paying for an iPhone, or paying for designer clothing. The price is higher not because the quality is better (although some times it is), but because of the...
