OK, I see... I've heard people say that H3 H40 or so transmits power well on direct drives, you're not the first one... But that is not what I feel, for me H37 transmits power/speed on direct drives better the H40/H41... And relatedly, H40/H41 are better for me for FH blocking than H37, they absorb more... I understand that some would disagree... The H40 and more, they transmit spin on tangential hits more for me, I have this feeling of NOT wasting energy on hard topspin hits with those (with harder sponges)... I hate this feeling of wasting energy with soft sponges on the FH... I agree that H3 H37 doesn't have much catapult, on both direct and tangential impact... Sometimes words are not aligned... Sorry
Why pros are using H37/H38 on the BH I'm not able to comprehend ;-) I think they are capable of generating speed at will if they need, that they are able to generate spin, to change rhytm, to have extra control on receive and opening... in other words they simply don't need the extra speed given by the rubbers I like to use...
The original images looked very sexy. With 2 more layers, wow, this will be hard to glue ;-) Isn't D09C too hard on the BH for you?
Exactly, but BH topspin opening against backspin with H3 H41, isn't it too hard? For me here both the sponge and top-sheet hardness matters. E.g. I tried BH openings against backspin with Hammond Z2, and the top-sheet is simply too hard. The sponge would be acceptable, but together, no, can't do it. H3 top-sheet is OK, but hardness H41 for BH openings? Wow...
