Fextra is interesting in that it doesn't really conform to the sort of rule you've laid out, @Tyce. It's solid enough to play harder Chinese rubbers, and yet it also plays well with Euro rubbers. I recently bought one (89g) and glued Joola Rhyzen Fire & Ice to it (47° and 42° respective...

That's too bad, but I wasn't thinking about it at the time. If I ever need an extra I'll have you sign it and send it to me 😂 I haven't worn the team jersey yet, but the practice shirts are phenomenal! Very comfy and breathable. A great investment at 25€.

Finally getting around to some of my latest purchases. The goodies from Borussia-Düsseldorf: Some Joola rubbers to take for a "spin": And finally, trying some others' blades made me realize I really like the feeling of all-wood, so I got myself a classic Fextra: Isn't that limba beautiful? 🥰

To answer your third question: Andro Rasanter R42.

They specify the difference between the MM01 and Pro 01 but not MM05 vs Pro 05; from the description the latter sounds the same. I wonder if it is or if there's a slight difference in something, e.g. core thickness.

The Open is an interesting idea. That's a lot more competition and opportunities to meet new people. Hard to beat a beach opportunity, too, though I don't know Myrtle Beach very well. It would be a bit less intimate than the private Düsseldorf event, though perhaps we could arrange TTD-member...

I don't think AK47 plays like Moon 12 at all. The closest in my experience is Hurricane 8-80 37°, though it has a tacky topsheet and a higher price tag. Maybe Palio CJ8000 in ~36°? Moon 12 Blue is quite unique.

One banger of a club! I've never met a more friendly, welcoming, and talented bunch of people. I wish I could play with you all every weekend. Our facilities in Atlanta may not be BD-caliber, but for anyone that wants to visit: I have a spare guest room. 🙂 ...Dare I suggest Tokyo? Between...

Would ❤️ this twice if I could!

Ohh, I can smell them from here 🐟:LOL: I built a defensive setup for a friend with M2 Medium on the FH side of a Donic Defplay Senso v3 and was shocked how good it felt. The veneer combination makes the blade more allround than DEF. The larger head size and balance mean I wouldn't necessarily...

Bad analogy IMO. Emptying the chamber after 4 liters of beer feels like winning to me!

I ended up not packing any of the blades but I am bringing all of the rubbers listed. Prices negotiable and also happy to trade.

I will likely have room to bring the rubbers I listed, but I don't think I can fit all of the blades. Are there any that someone would specifically like me to bring? I can probably fit one in its box, and one in my spare racket case.

Would appreciate if you brought it. The handle looks more rounded (which I like) than other Loki blades I've played with but I'd still like to get a feel for how it sits in the hand, and if the ADC is too different from KLC/ALC.
