Thanks, I will consider either V15 or Nuzn45 for my FH. Have read that V>15 can be a bit bouncy in short game, and that Nuzn – despite being softer – is a bit more controlled. What is your feeling?

So, this is slightly OT, but fits with the hybrid theme. I just came home from training, where I tried a friends bat. The blade itself is similar to mine, it even had Vega Europe [normal] on BH, that I have played on my Hugo HAL, so could compare. Her setup was: FH: Tibhar Hybrid K1 2.0 mm BH...

Thanks! Have you tried Xiom Vega Europe H as well, and can compare? Are they all equally controllable? That was the big USP of MK FX when it launched.

I also restarted TT two months ago, after a 30 hiatus. Is the V>15 Sticky Soft comparable to Vega Pro H in hardness, rather than the V>20 Extra? How does it compare to Pro H and which one do you prefer? Do you use the V>15SF on FH or BH? I am thinking about getting it (or Pro H) on FH, and...

So the USP in the beginning was the extreme controllability of the MK and the MK FX. Is this really a special feature of the MK over other soft hybrids, or was it also a bit of a hype? As a developing player I am looking to downgrade from my Vega X – as described here – and am looking into soft...

Thanks! Many say it feels softer than the stated 47,5°, is that your experience as well? Have you tried the softer FX as well?

I see that you now play Nuzn 50. I am contemplating putting either Abhor Hybrid MK FX or Nuzn 45 on my BH (maybe even FH for starters, I’m a developing player). Have you insights into comparison between these?

What is the Forum’s consensus nowadays regarding the Tibhar MK series (Standard, FX, Pro)? Anyone tried it with Hugo HAL or anything like that?

What was your impression of the rubber with Hugo HAL?

Thanks, man!

Why would you prefer Vega Pro over Fastarc? And are these really micro adjustments only, are they so similar? In any case, I thought they would go in my preferred direction on all three parameters. Regarding thickness, well, I am still developing, and have no particular style of play, so don’t...

Thanks. Actually, never played with the Donic Persson, it’s just my backup, that I got from a friend for 10 bucks. But you still think, better to use a slower blade than slower rubbers? I come from using a Donic Smirnov Inner Carbon before. I mean, I could just swap one Vega X with the Omega...

Interesting. Po Interesting thanks. Just posted in another thread my issues with having a somewhat fast/spinny/uncrontrolled setup after my wife gifting me a new blade and rubbers. Have the Omega VII Europe on my backup blade though, so thinking about slamming that on my BH and getting Fastarc...

What thicknesses of the Nittakus did you play? Thinking about switching to these. If going back, would you still play C-1 on BH, or G-1 on both sides?

So, after playing with this setup for about a month, I think I need to downgrade the rubbers slightly. I went to the store with my blade, intending to buy Fastarc G-1 in 1.8 mm on both sides, with Vega X as a backup option. The seller, who felt very competent and actually listened, steered me...

So guys, I thought it appropriate to report back to you after all your amazing support. It did not turn out exactly as planned, and I will need your help again. First though, here some pics of the setup. My issues in the next post.

Thank you for the interesting list — much appreciated. If you wouldn’t mind, I’d love for you to elaborate on what makes the CS Wood land on this list and stand out for you, and how you feel it compares to the Nittaku Acoustic and the Butterfly Korbel/Falcima in terms of speed, dwell/kick...

Seconding: Xiom Hugo HAL, extremely similar and not so fast, still highly controllable.

That easy, heh? :) So your recommendation is any ESN in 2,0–2,1mm on both sides. Vega Pro, Vega X, Fastarc G-1, Mantra Pro M — etc, all good? I like the concept of identical sides, but could you please elaborate on your reasoning still?

I meant rather how C-1 compares to Vega Europe/Rakza 7/7 Soft, as a BH-alternatuve – hopefully less bouncy (and maybe more spinney/grippy)
