imho the Target National is on par with the DHS albeit a small difference in throw and as I described earlier, there seems to be more kick in the Target when doing kill shots. DHS packaging is much nicer but once the rubber is on the racket you see no difference anymore..

My experience is through the official Sanwei site only, it sometimes takes a bit of time to receive orders because they come from far away but it's good. Sanwei gives a discount with this coupon code I got from them: PASSION (I think it is still working. You can find the site here...

looks good to me

I see that your rubber is already cut, mine was square (uncut) so maybe that's why mine curled more. I think 3 layers is enough.

Looked the same for me when I applied the 2nd layer, but started to curl nicely later when the 3rd layer got dry. It takes time to react. Be patient it's really worth it :):):)

Both rubbers reacted in a very similar way and I applied three layers of Haifu Seamoon (standard one). The curl was very pronounced. I left the Hurricane III untouched, did not remove the original glue. Both rubbers required the same amount of break-in. In play, they behave similarly except for...

Ok so here are more details about the comparison. The dimensions (in mm) are 164 x 165 for the Sanwei and 164 x 168 for the DHS (ignoring the cut offs on top edges). The thickness is hard to measure precisely but after a good close look I am quite confident they are almost exactly the same...

Looks like the logical thing to do is leave it on. Thanks for the tips !

Hey there! The plan is to do my own direct comparison between Target National (new) and Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 40' (blue sponge) in 2.15 mm. I need to make up my own assessment of these and how they compare - because there is conflicting information floating out there. I will post more...

He's a bit on the heavy side but the way he moves I thought it's anywhere 40-55 imho

The guy is 38 years old. When you said Grandpa I expected an 80 yr old player. You had me scared for a second because I'm in my 40s lol.

Yes it's my understanding as well that Gewo (Contra) uses the services of ESN to manufacture their rubber sheets. I have compared them side by side to other ESN rubber (Donic Bluefire, Tibhar MXP, Stiga DNA, Andro Rasanter, Xiom Vega) and apart from colours I can't see much difference. I don't...

Unsure if anyone can answer you, there is not enough information about it. My best guess is LD carbon is a type of soft or low density carbon sheet of sorts, perhaps unwoven in this case. The manufacturer is the only one able to tell us..

I may be out of date / wrong about this but as far as I know Gewo is a brand created by Contra which is the largest distributor / franchise of TT shops in Germany. I tried their rubber some years ago, namely the Nexxus EL (foget the precise one) but was looking for a "feet on the ground"...

I have played with the HC1-S and Hynover and Viscaria, today am using a TB ALC and can weigh in this if you're interested. All these blades are made for active offensive play. The HC1-S and Hynover are stiff and if you pair them with Tensors it will be for all out attacking fast game = good...

This is not my current blade but I have used it and enjoyed it very much in the past. It's a custom project I had designed myself and asked SDC to build the prototype. He did amazing work. The blade was for offensive play and had an amazing feel on FH.

I played in the French league at lower divisions for years. There, some people say thank you when a serve is botched. Now I play in Finland. Here too, some people say thank you and some (rare) apologise. Personally, I stay quiet when the opponent misses a serve but apologise if I make a point...

Will be trying this beast today, it's my first time with an inner fiber blade.

Similar experience here, I use a clean and wet microfiber cloth and wipe very gently. I then dry it with a dry microfiber just by tapping gently, trying to be as gentle and soft as possible. The sticky layer needs good care :) and I stay away from any kind of cleaning products just out of...

Thanks for the informative review :)
