Can anyone recommend a shoe that'll fit size US13 (29.5cm)? I checked a couple of the shoes recommended in this thread I don't recall seeing any that go up to the size I need 😬 Thanks!

The info might be in TT Gear Labs

A little late to the party but I really like the DJ40+ ball. Everyone at my club swears by nittaku and it's like pulling teeth to get then to give it an honest try but every one who can notice the difference prefers the DJ40+. To me, it plays soooooo much more stable. It's weird but the ball...

You can try this, starting about 3:25. Perceived weight will change, even though you're adding weight. I know some people shave a couple mm off which has the compounding effect of less wood and less rubber but that's very permanent

Maybe 729 Battle 3? Tacky, soft topsheet, hard sponge (38° -40° DHS scale iirc)

Bought a pair of B3s (40° & 38°) a while ago... Might give it a try once my current rubbers run it's course. Thanks for the info!

IIRC, Bo 2 is the same composition as HL5 but a little stiffer? If battle 3 is alright on Bo 2, it'll probably be fine on HL5... right? Ha ha

Read through the thread again, I recall that people say B3 is good with harder (koto outer) blades and someone said it's ok with the Fang Bo 2... Has anyone tried it with the HL5/W968? Elastic top sheet sounds appealing for over the table backhand brushy shots. Also, has anyone tried boosting...

Looks great to me 😁 Your setup makes me miss my V+... I played it so much the sweet spot on my fh got damaged and splintered when I tried to change out rubbers... I guess that's kind of something to be proud of? 🥲

A review from TT Gan Fwiw, I see tmxi go on sale at tt11 occasionally iirc, he said it's 90% closer to W968?
