    Ups and downs
  3. Lightest and most sticky hard hibrid rubber ?

    Glayzer 09C is lightweight and slightly tacky. In thickness 2.1 and dimensions 150x157mm, it weighs 46 grams without glue. True, the stickiness is lower than that of Rakza Z and Hurricane.
  4. SDC Handmade Blades

    I have a Palio TCT Titan Carbon blade. There is indeed a 115 mm wide metal mesh in the center of the blade, 25 mm away from the edge of the handle. That is, this mesh covers the playing part of the blade. I don't have the blade at hand now, but if anyone is interested, I'll post a photo later...
  5. SDC Handmade Blades

    Young paulownia wood is much lighter than older wood. It's similar in weight to balsa, but doesn't dent as easily as balsa. Here's an example of kiri blade core blanks of the same size and thickness. The weight varies dramatically from 47 to 58 grams per blank! Perhaps the manufacturer used...
  6. Add a bit of sidetape at handle

    Here, most likely, this is done primarily to increase the wedge of the handle. From my experience, to change the balance, you can glue something heavy metal with hot glue to the end of the handle. It holds well and, if desired, can be easily dismantled without damaging the handle.
  7. SDC Handmade Blades

    In my opinion, making a copy of a blade over time is like making brothers :). The blades turn out to be very similar to each other, but still each has its own character.
  8. Viscaria vs Timo Boll ALC

    Hi! I also noticed that I now like faster blades more, which 2-3 years ago I couldn't play
  9. Viscaria vs Timo Boll ALC

    I will add my observations. The Viscaria specimens have significant differences in thickness, for example, in the photo there are two blades that came to us for repair, one of which is 5.6 mm thick and the second is 5.74 mm. Unfortunately, there is no photo with thickness measurements, but there...
  10. Want to know why Yinhe Pro 05 is so head heavy?

    Another example with a cavity in the handle. The glue that Xiom use to glue the handle is very different from the glue that most manufacturers use. Apparently it is cyanoacrylate glue. VERY firmly glued.....

    Even if both blades have the same balance, the rackets assembled with the same rubber will feel slightly different and a sensitive player will be able to feel it. The second racket will have more rubber and accordingly it will be heavier, in addition the balance will shift to the head of the...

    Thank you! Great article!
  13. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    I am very surprised. Often the end of the threads discussing tournaments ends with swearing. But not this time. Everything is calm. It is surprising and touching at the same time.

    Go, Simon!
  16. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    But still, there is, the Butterfly rubbers decreases in size and this indicates the use of a booster at the factory.
  17. Experience with using different boosters in combination?

    At one time I combined seamun with baby oil for Loki N80. It worked well, but now the quality of this rubber has become bad and I do not use it.
  18. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Harimoto and Togami lost their matches at Europe Smash today, hopefully this will cool down the hype around Z3
  19. Best rubber for Long 5 BH

    LAC is very heavy and with H3 on the forehand they change the balance of the racket in the head a lot, I don't like it. G09C is light, very grippy and relatively inexpensive compared to Dignics.
  20. Best rubber for Long 5 BH

    I also like the Glayzer 09C on booster
