That’s not a Q968 it’s a Hurricane King - so no, not the same.

I used T05 on both my King and Q968 and it worked pretty well. That having been said I do find that harder sponge rubbers (C55 / Bluegrip and H3) do seem to suit my game with it better.

Not really any alternatives - the blades in this DHS range are different from most if not all Butterfly blades.

So, by way of context I have previously owned a provincial 968 that was good but not great, and also a couple of Long 5 and a 5x. All of these had things I liked, but none were keepers. I had a Xiom TMXI and also a Hayata H2 that were good but not great. I found myself migrating back to the...

I’ll get something posted for you as soon as I have time so watch this space.

They’re all national (W is a player version) W definitely thicker outer as you say and has a softer feel. S has thicker core and carbon is closer to the outer, which I can feel.

Q & S vs W

Very nice - congratulations. Mine is 92g and 1359hz (same as my S) whereas my W is 91g and 1409hz but slightly thicker at 6.1mm vs 6.09mm - maybe because it is a player version and made stiffer? It doesnt feel faster when playing.

Happy new year all - thanks for the great forum TTD team.

Yes, mine is a national Q968 from ProTT. I also have a player edition W968 from ProTT that is in my view the best balanced 968 of the three i have (by far)

Keen to hear your thoughts on the Q968. I’ve got Q/S and recently a player version W968 and they all share a lot of similarities. Of mine I’d say the S is closest to Vis and the W between the S and Q in terms of speed and dynamics. For me the Q has been the most controlled and slowest of the...

Pretty good on all those things but I prefer something like Rakza z. It just didn’t feel great to me on my blades.

I’ve used QQ, Q5 and Q Power. Power is good but I found it very heavy and lacking a little dynamic vs other 55 deg rubbers like C55 or c53 or similar.

My advice would be not to try H3 if you don’t intend to boost it - it’s designed to be boosted and there are better options if you don’t want to boost. It’s actually not a heavy rubber and lighter than most hybrids. I’d try H3 neo orange (commercial or provincial) and add a couple of layers...

Regardless, there are plenty of world class players who’ve lost 3-0 to Dima. I maintain my position that KJ is approaching a top 20 std.

Check it out - close fight in my view. Maybe you missed it?

No, he’s in no way repetitious in his play - I’d take odds he’d give Hugo a decent run right now (he came close to beating Dima recently)

That’s a crazy comment - he’s got so many weapons, strategically very astute and super mobile. To me he looks world class in every way.

Brilliant- loved it 🏓

I agree - Olah struggled with them and reacted very poorly and started serving clearly hiding the ball to make his point.
