Not that a huge difference compared to say the ATP tennis tour. - 4 Majors - 9 ATP 1000 - 1 ATP tour finals But I guess the tennis players have also complained over the overcrowded schedule and injury risk ...

Definitely! Especially when they lure their captives in with club discounts and events and give aways from time to time also ;)

Stiga has a showroom in Stockholm where consumers can come and try out pretty much all their blade and rubber combos. Really great way to find out what works for you without EJ'ing through the full range.

I have heard that the blade is made in Sweden, but the carbon layer is made in Korea.

https://ttgearlab.com/2019/12/30/stiga-dynasty-carbon-lab-test/ This review cover all you are asking for. The lab measurements clearly state Butterfly outer ALC blades are faster (than Dynasty Carbon) both for shots hit with moderate force as well as for shots hit with more force,

ttgearlabs also measures cybershape carbon higher than the butterfly outer-ALC blades

I have experience of playing both backside, anti, LP and SP. I used to play a lot when I was a junior and the ball was 38mm. At that time there was even more spin involved in the game. With the 38mm ball I found anti and LP work quite well. You would have even more spin reversal. With the...

Another route could be keeping the inner carbon blade but go for a tacky rubber with harder sponge. Your serve receive will improve and you will be able to produce great amount of spin. Stiga DragonGrip, Yasaka Rakza Z, Tibhar MK could be worth a try if you want to do some EJ. :)

If you struggle with serve receives, then a tacky rubber with harder sponge will help. Glazer 09c is excellent for servic receive, but quite slow on other shots as well. I find Stiga DNA Dragongrip similar at being good for serve receive, but having more speed potential.

Really interesting stats in the spreadsheet! Especially the catapult effect is really good the study. Some number are a bit strange though. For instance: - Rozena is Butterfly's hardest rubber - Yasaka Rakza Z Extra hard being softer than regular Rakza Z - Butterfly SuperAnti, which is super...

You could go for Glayzer09c for your backhand. It is quite a lot slower, but that is what you need to build up the confidence to use proper BH technique also in matches (as you describe, your BH is much better in practice). Your FH is good, go for Dignics on the FH.

I have heard the inspira hybrid carbon is assembled in Sweden, but the composite carbon is sourced from Korea. But I can remember wrongly.

I have played with both Inspira Hybrid Carbon and Timo Boll Spirit (kind of same as TB ALC). Not with same rubbers though, so the comparison is not perfect. My feeling though, is that Inspira Hybrid Carbon is firmer/stable but has a bit more dwell than TB Spirit. Similar speed. I prefer the...

There is a very thorough test made on ttgearlab.com Carbonado. There you can see how all the Carbonado models compare to eachother as well as compare with other well known blades.

Well Alser blades have been discontinued and they have been trying to empty the shelves for a long time. Regarding the pricing there are several brands that sell all wood blades around 100 EUR and above: - Victas SWAT Power - Victas Koki Niva Wood - Butterfly SK7 But sure, I agree 70-90 EUR is...
