Then you should try more blades. HAL is definitely not "really soft" if you look at the spectrum of all blades. It is of course softer than your typical outer ALC blade, but there are so much blades that are softer than the HAL. I personally would not consider the ZL pro as alternative to the...

https://www.noettv.org/bewerbe/turniere Just in march there are 4 tournaments for adults in lower austria. All within 1 hour from Vienna. Didn't look in Vienna. I'm from lower austria.

This is not true, there are much more tournaments in and around Vienna. You have to check the NOETTV and WTTV websites.

Outerforce ALC plays exactly as Butterfly says. Slightly slower, softer and "easier" to play than a Viscaria (same weight, 86g). Nevertheless the feeling is clearly outer.

If you want to stay with Joola, you could either take the harder rubber from the same series 'Rhyzen Fire' or upgrade to the Tronix series, here I would take the Tronix CMD.

Yeah and Wang Yidi played the 3rd time in a short period of time against Hashimoto. The last time was 3:1 for Honoka but WYD won many long rallies the longer the match went on. Honoka won the last set just because of variation (3 or 4 points with the "aggressive sidespin strawberry push", don't...

Rakza 7 plays quite soft for 47.5, so Glayzer is harder than both Rakza 7 and C1. For me Glayzer feels similar hard to the "harder" 47.5s like Vega Pro or X, G1, MX-S. Tronix ACC (my BH rubber) feels slightly softer than Glayzer.

Would also say Aruna for power. Saw him live at SC Ljubljana 2023 against Lin Yun-ju. Aruna won 3:2, with really crazy forehands, so much power (= spin and speed together for me). LYJ looked like a kid in comparison.

I own a SAL with 98g, don't know if it's an outliner. As you said for the general TT market below 90g is preferable, some may like 90-95g, but over 95g like my 98g SAL is just to heavy. I read/heard that Hugo himself plays 94 or 95g.

This change in weight is strange, I bought my HALs in 2021 and 2022, I always looked for used blades and I would say that 90% were between 85 and 92g. My blades are 88 to 90g, average weight 3-4 years ago. It would be interesting to know what's the reason for this change in blade weight. I also...

Aside from elbow problems I would always prefer a heavier HAL, my HALs are between 88-90g, the feeling is more solid and direct, with less vibration. I played a light HAL (I think it was 81 or 82g) from a colleague and found it worse than the heavier ones.

Tronix ACC is my favourite 47.5 Tensor rubber for backhand. It feels a bit softer than the more spin-based 47.5 rubbers like G1, Vega Pro or X. ACC is a bit more controlled and easier to play than the Vegas I played before, without sacrificing much spin or speed. The ceiling on full power...

J line sounds promising. Thanks for the reviews. Did anybody play the V20 Double extra und could compare it to J2 (or J3)?

If you are talking about the red Original Carbon, did somebody compare it to Viscaria or ZJK ALC?
