Not my experience - A1 is still faster and more dynamic than J2 I would say - but only based on 3h of playing and J2 still being tight/new.

As Jk said below, EH is to me a much better FH rubber for me (I am pretty FH dominant) - it has has a little more of everything except for reactivity, which is a little less.

I have not got mine and glued it up - J1 on FH and J2 on BH (with two thin boost layers which is similar to what I apply to Bluestar and Bluegrip) - will try it tonight on my new ZJK (new era) blade too - can't wait.

Harimoto - I found them very close indeed ( I have had a few IF ALC and one Harimoto) Just the head size and balance I didn't like as much as the std IF.

I think your analysis of Visc and Ovt is fair - Ovt is certainly noticeably stiffer than Visc but also a bit slower close to the table (and overall to me too) less reactive and sharp and less dynamic. Harimoto is slower and softer than both and the bigger head size makes it feel quite different...

Viscaria is a lot faster - a big jump, even at that weight. Why not try to match the blades you try with the weight you are used to so that you don't rule out what might be the right blade simply because it feels heavy to you? Might be worth trying some other inner carbon blades that have more...

The only outer that is slower and has more control is either an old Maze (Limba outer/thinner) or an Outerforce ALC which has softer inner.

Got some sheets of each on order - going to be a few weeks though.

I don't think it's just the BH...;-)

Incredible - I am stunned, especially after his recent loss in the German league vs Bluhm.. Great job.

Hi all Just thought I would share some initial thoughts on these two based on my initial experiences. Some context on the blade - I was a Viscaria user for a fair amount of time before following a few coaches advice to use a slower, inner carbon blade. I immediately missed the feel of my...

Fairly typical inner carbon in these areas - nothing that stood out for me. It's a well made, inner carbon blade with a handle that worked for me. I used a few rubbers but can't recall I am afraid as it was a year or so back.

I have one - very nice, moderately fast inner carbon blade. Nicely made and the handle suites me - overall safer and more controlled than Viscaria etc but faster than Butterfly inner force.

For me I have also stopped using my 968 because it is a bit too reactive and demanding for me in less than full out shots - I struggle to manage the consistency of my topspin game with it.

Rakza Z or Extra hard - both great rubbers with decent durability

I have a player version W968 that I still have - not using at the moment as playing with a Joola Rossi emotion, a little less speed. W and Q are quite similar, with Q a little stiffer and responsive, especially on BH.

Purchased new about 6 months ago but not using it. Weight is 91g and flared handle. Condition is very good apart from a small mark/chip on the BH side from blade hitting table - see pic. Has been validated by me when new, with DHS as a genuine item. NOT interested in trades thank you...

Great video - goodbye to a real legend.

Very different rubbers but no reason it will not work. H3 need not be heavy - it can be quite light in 39 deg blue sponge.

Check the date on the handle?
