  1. Outer Carbon or Inner Carbon?

    Joola ZQH 90 is very nice in that regard. Tons of clear feedback in the handle, I think the only "downside" is the speed, in that it really feels like there's no speed ceiling and encourages you to hit harder and harder, which sometimes isn't the best decision haha. But from my friend who plays...
  2. Outer Carbon or Inner Carbon?

    I have 3 outer-carbon blades with different compositions: Joola ZQH 90 - Koto-SALC-Ayous-Kiri ZQH has a very direct and crisp feel. Lot's of vibration and feedback in the handle without feeling too sharp if that makes sense. Dwell time is much shorter than something like an inner-ALC blade, but...

    I'm using the symbols as greater than (>) and less than (<) to indicate which side is harder. LAC Pro is significantly softer than regular LAC. R9 39 deg is harder than LAC Pro, but softer than LAC and H8-80 37 deg. I'm totally confused by LAC and H8-80 now because I've compared my multiple...

    I tried it and it seemed very mediocre. Felt like the same incredibly hard sponge that my Rxton 3 Pink has, but unlike the tacky topsheet of the Pink, Arthur C is completely non-tacky and barely grippy. Wasn't good for much outside of flat smashes. For context, I've read some mixed reviews on...

    That might be what it says on the Ali Express listing, but on the packaging it says Arthur China and Pro

    I haven't tested everything as thoroughly as Attitude, but I have experience with all variants of LAC and a few other Loki products. Orange vs. green package LAC is very similar, but the orange one has a bit more tacky topsheet with same sponge. LAC Pro with red and silver package is softer and...

    I ordered the 40.5 R9 on singles day, still waiting for it to arrive. I’ve used the 39 degree R9 off and on for a few months now and I agree with your assessment for the most part. Very soft and very safe, always felt easy to keep the ball on the table, but didn’t feel great on really hard...
  8. Stiga Mantra Pro M Colored Variants vs. Original

    Has anyone tried any of the colored (blue, pink, and violet) variants of Stiga Mantra Pro M or H on Ali Express and compared against the original red/black? I'm looking to upgrade a Nittaku C1 on BH to a slightly harder rubber with similar characteristics. I know G1 exists, but Mantra Pro is a...

    I tried LAC Purple and it was pretty bad to be honest, and that's coming from someone who thought H9 purple was pretty decent. Seemed like the same sponge from Rxton 3 Pink, which is quite hard in my experience, and the topsheet was basically non-tacky with lackluster grip. I didn't try playing...

    I'm really suprised you found LAC Pro to be harder than normal LAC. I have some friends who have read WeChat forums and talked to players in China and they said LAC Pro is supposed to be softer than LAC. Same topsheet, just softer and less dense sponge, hence the lighter weight. I've felt 2...
