  1. UPD. False positive. It's a bug in the BTY website. The thread can be closed

    No VPN, but I can imagine a software bug in the website because I'm close to Canada. If it is, sorry for the false positive message:)

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not in Canada and prices are being shown as $172 even while I have them in checkout. Hopefully it's just a problem with the BTY website

  4. Zyre-03 2.5 vs DNA Platinum XH vs Helix Platinum XH

    I wanted to share a few updates on the Helix Platinum and some thoughts on DNA Hybrid XH based on my observations over the last six months. Overall, I think the Helix series is excellent, but I found Helix Platinum XH to be quite sensitive to humidity. This wasn't a big surprise, but my spare...
  5. So I just got a gift - a Timo Ball ALC blade. what rubbers should I get? (for Control)

    use the same rubbers (G-1 in your case), don't go with too many changes on your equipment.
  6. NEW Stiga Helix Hybrid ?

    Some sort of. I would say the same degrees for Dragon and Helix Hybrid will feel almost the same (but not DNA Hybrid!). Btw, I feel the same DNA Hybrid feels harder than Helix Hybrid with the same hardness. I would say DNA Dragon Power 52.5 feels close to Helix Hybrid XH, but arc for Dragon is...
  7. FH Rubber with high Arc ?

    I have experience with DNA Platinum H/HX, Helix Platinum H/XH, DNA Hybrid H/XH, Dragon Power 52.5 The Dragon Power has the highest arc. And imho it's the safest rubber from the list. I'm still debating though between Helix Platinum and Dragon Power. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Also...
  8. Zyre-03 2.5 vs DNA Platinum XH vs Helix Platinum XH

    Helix Platinum is safier than DNA Platinum, bit not like T05. I would recommend T05 for higher arc
  9. Which ESN (or Jap) rubber is closest to H3 orange provincial (non NEO)?

    Dragon Grip weight is exactly the same as D09c (72g uncut)
  10. New Stiga blades: Luma and i1

    the handle is tiny, looks like Stiga is currently producing their products for mainly Chinese market.
  11. Replace Stiga Hybrid M on FZD ALC

    just give a try, even H and XH feel differently on harder strokes
  12. Replace Stiga Hybrid M on FZD ALC

    The beauty of ESN rubbers is a wide variation of different hardness for th same rubber. If you like a specific one, just down level or up level hardness. Unfortunately it's not achievable for butterfly's rubbers like D05/D09C/Zyre, you will need to play with boosters to make it softer.
  13. Zyre-03 2.5 vs DNA Platinum XH vs Helix Platinum XH

    Unfortunately I have't used it long enough to have a fair comparison
