Don't worry, it's not a big deal. One of the Forum moderators will probably spot this soon and they can merge this into one of the existing threads if they think that'd be helpful. More importantly, glad to have another fan on the Forum, welcome!

Man! When Quadri is on form he is an absolute joy to watch! That forehand is simply unrivalled.

According to TT Gearlab, the Donic Persson PowerPlay has similar characteristics: Basically what these numbers indicate is that the Hugo HAL is faster than the PPP, and that it feels very slightly harder, but that their playing characteristics are almost identical. Given that you can...

I made the same suggestion as you have, and I do think it would help Sergio, but it sounds like part of the appeal of the whole enterprise, for him, is the process of customisation. Sergio, if you don't mind me picking up on jar's post to raise this thought again, I really do think this is a...

I think 50%-75% premium for priority ticketing sounds reasonable. Also, I wonder if a meaningful percentage of your orders are essentially "the same" blade, just with personalised handle designs? In other words, if, say, 1/5 blades is basically a Viscaria, and another 1/5 is basically an...

I use H3 Neo Provincial Blue 40, unboosted, and am very happy with it. More than enough spin and speed for me, and I like the feel of it just like that. It takes maybe two sessions to feel "right", but so does any rubber.

Did you intend a different link? Or am I missing something?

Thanks Latej, I think I'll give it a try. I know what you mean about the Chinese feeling. I've been using H3 Neo Prov. BS, unboosted, and it's great! From time to time I have a knock with someone else's bat with some ESN rubber and, though they're fine, the balance of the H3 just gives me much...

I've been thinking of giving Rxton 9 a go, but have been discouraged by reports of inconsistent quality. Is there a supplier you've found reliable?

My point is just that a Clipper (or similar) might be an easier change for you, provided you're okay with the heavier blade. You can certainly play a very good looping game with a 7-ply all-wood. I've never played with a Clipper, but I've used other 7-ply wood blades, and found them very...

It looks like you'll be moving from a Balsa-Carbon blade. Blades with that construction are often used by players who favour a fast, flat-hitting, punch-blocking style. If that's true of you, then a 7-ply (like a Clipper) might be a more comfortable transition for you. I'm not suggesting that...

Really enjoying this series, guys. Well done, and thank you! A thought: Maybe try get a doubles match in sometime. It would be very instructive to hear how a top doubles pair think about tactics etc., and to see them take on two of the TTD Team. Maybe Karlsson & Falck? Or the Lebrun brothers?

I've just seen that Butterfly have changed their rubber rating values. According to their website, Dignics 09C has a spin rating of 96, and the only other rubber that has the same rating is Tenergy 05 Hard. I've heard a handful of very high level players say they think T05H still has the...

Vodak Miroslav Hořejší Off EnTech

It's a pleasure. No, I haven't played with a Clipper. My understanding is that the Clipper + H3 combo is very popular in China, so I'm sure it'll be a good one. Also, you can see from the TT Gear Lab database that the Clipper CC is very similar to the Korbel SK7, just a little bit faster and...

My favourite blade is the Vodak Miroslav Horejsi Off EnTech (https://vodak-dreva.cz/en/off/164-241-vodak-miroslav-horejsi-off-entech.html#/30-handle-straight/35-kind_of_wood-whole_wood). It is quite a slow blade but, honestly, I just don't agree with the assumption many "hobby players" (with...

Have you considered a more forgiving blade? Like you, I'm not able to always (or even often!) be in the perfect position. In my case that's due to age and injuries. However, I still find the H3 Neo Provincial 40 (BS) the best overall rubber for my FH. Nothing else I've tried matches it, and I...

You forgot to mention your endearing humility.

That's a very good price for Prov BS; which AliExpress sellers are reliable for that?
