H8-80 is broadly available in black too. H8-20 might be only in red, or at least I never saw black before. Actually I wonder more about the approved rubber registration number logic of DHS. Why is H3's registration number 108 or H8's 54 etc. Normally manufacturers go in order of release of the...

You're both right. Hurricane 8 with the #25 sponge didn't become popular. But some pros do use H8-20 and H8-80. So the topsheet is not a flop.

That would have been the best, but it's more cost too. If they at least mix one ESN with one Butterfly rubber it would have already been better than what they did.

They only used 2 blades. D05 and Z03 are on the same and MXP and A2 on the other. They should have mixed them so the weight would be more similar. Of course also depends on the blade, but should have chosen 2 which are about the same weight.

But Glayzer lasts so much longer, the price difference is well justified. Maybe ordinary people don't know that.

I think tibhar and xiom jumps on Chinese players even without the coaches. Especially tibhar since it's not very popular on China so I'm sure they are dying to penetrate the market more. What about Loki? Wasn't Wang Hao married to them somehow?

It's weird how strong Rozena is and that Glayzer didn't overtake it.

I think Rxton 7 40deg commercial or 39deg commercial are OK for all wood. I wanna stick it on W968 with a Mantra Pro M on BH side. LAC is also okay, on W968 it didn't feel too slow, but I can tell Rxton 7 is more bouncy. Granted W968 is still faster than most all wood but it's not a speed demon.

To be fair he lost both his matches.

I used to have a Wave medal 6 and while that was very durable and comfy and stable it was so bad on wood floors. It was slippery on hardwood. But that was the good old orange/yellow gumsole, this is some blue compound. Ofc this also depends on where you use the shoe, if on various type of floors...

It looks like the Mizuno Wave Medal sole without the Wave tech inside. I wonder how this works. Does Mizuno make it for Victas, or some Chinese manufacturer just straight up copies Mizuno and Butterfly soles, or Mizuno open-sourced it etc. Btw this is not only Victas; Joola, Tibhar has many...

Loki Rxton 7 really is a very peasant surprise for me. The commercial 40 degree version feels so nice and fun to play with. It's like a very good hybrid rubber from ESN or Butterfly. I did buy a sheet of pro version in 41 degree but that feels much harder and duller too. Not much fun either...

Fastarc G-1 is not like Gear Hyper at all. Joola Vizon is a rubber used on pre-made rackets, no? Maybe it can be bought separately. G-1 is a fine rubber for one, I would not really consider Rakza z or Pk50. (isn't Pk50 discontinued?) But maybe the Rakza 7 soft or Rakza x soft arr a better...

Why don't they punish the player who can't reach the ball instead? Sounds like it's their fault to begin with? 🌚

Not sure why anyone would want to make this shitty glue. In fact, Butterfly could do a service by not selling it.
