Hello, may be defenders prefer 2.5 sponge?

Hello. It’s great that some manufacturers are releasing entire series of hybrid rubbers—hard, soft, and medium—so you can choose whatever suits you best. Chinese rubbers like the "Hurricane 3 Neo" come in one-degree increments, which is fantastic... but they require a booster. That’s why I like...

Don't think so. China like top sheet and euro/jap sponge=hibrid :).

Hi, a friend of mine bought an Indeed ZLXi, and I compared its core thickness to that of my Long 5 and 36.5i. The core thickness is the same, but the total blade thickness is 5.7 mm. It is a very controllable blade with good dwell time—thanks.

Hello, FL hangle. I touch st over the years but never played. When I buy a FL blade that looks like a st (some def blades), I modify it with improvised materials to a super FL :).

Hello, it is easier to find a central layer of kiri than a middle layer of limba. In the new models, even on Butterfly, this layer has been replaced with samba (ayous). :)

Hello, 20 years ago I had a Timo Boll spirit, 92 grams, brutal weapon. Thanks.

Hello. The scale is tared and measures to 5 hundredths. There is no sponge in the glue. And the glue is different from what I remove from wood, for example. The glue removed from the sponge is elastic, and the one removed from wood is dry and hard. Something else has passed, something...

Hello. I cut the rubber in advance (outlined with a pen on the blade). About 56 grams according to Kanji def. I put 5-6 layers of glue (about 2 grams). After a month I clean the glue, weigh it ... 3 grams, and the rubber became 55 grams!? Something has passed from the rubber into the glue. :) , ;).

Hello, playing with hybrid rubbers is easier for me and much harder for my opponents. They themselves tell me: "it comes in a strange way". ;)

Hi, around 175g :).

Hello, I have 5 J/H C57.5 rubbers, all around 52.5 grams cut to regular (TB ALC). On a control defensive blade they are the ultimate weapon.

I bought 5 boxes, they are good but a little lighter then DJ. :)

Hello. A little bit confusing about FH and BH side. Usual emblem is on FH side, in that case is dark and is described as Backhand, why it happens like that? Thank you very much.

Hi, Nuzn is number one. Four rubbers: from top to rooky, its amazing and wonerful. C57 to C52 good too but heavy ... two grams over :)
