  1. Kokutaku rubbers and blades?

    It was 30€, I don't know if I'd dare to go any cheaper. And even that at that price got destroyed. So I won't be making that mistake again.
  2. Kokutaku rubbers and blades?

    I'll do that with the new blade for sure. Thanks for the link.
  3. Kokutaku rubbers and blades?

    Now that you say it, that side had a lot of spinters, I did sand it lightly before I sealed it, but yeah, this is unacceptable. This was an out of spec wood sheet 100%, cypress doesn't splinter that easy.
  4. Kokutaku rubbers and blades?

    It's a lot slower than I thought it would be, I'll probably get the xvt hinoki alc. It should be quite a bit faster, and I don't know for yours, but mine felt extremely hollow when hitting.
  5. Kokutaku rubbers and blades?

    Funny thing, I had sealed this one... One side came off perfectly too. Probably factory defect or something because it had splinters from the moment I got it, idk...
  6. Kokutaku rubbers and blades?

    I can confirm, they're not worth it. Funny thing is that they played alright, slow but stable. On the look for another hinoki carbon. But yeah, refund time...
  7. outerforce alc

    What? I mean newer blades getting back to the older standard of blade head size. The 158x152, while the viscaria is compact head size of 157x150.
  8. outerforce alc

    Interesting... I've noticed this new trend of blades getting thicker with bigger heads nowadays, probably to increase stiffness and inertia?
  9. outerforce alc

    The outerforce has a ayous top ply, ayous middle and kiri core. Its close, but the viscaria has koto top, ayous middle and kiri core. I also imagine that the Viscaria will be stiffer than the outerforce.
  10. Comparison between Battle 2 Provincial, Battle 2 National and Loki Arthur China

    Both battle 2 provincial and gold have low throw, much lower than h3, they're very tricky to play with and even boosted not much change. No idea for national.
  11. New bat recommendation/advises

    You won't see much of a difference with the blade, so if there isn't a particular reason you want to change it, I don't think it'll make much of a difference. If you do want an upgrade, infinity vps v and clipper cr are both better in my opinion. For rubbers, I'd say go with c1 or rakza 7 on...
  12. ❓What Is Your Setup, and WHY?

    I started playing with viscaria again, I had a lot of instability in matches with the Intensity and lacked a lot of speed. Here the game is mostly 3rd and 5th ball, so with this I can put lots of power and finish the point outright, and if the point continues, I have good power to keep the pressure.
  13. I need help

    They're a loooot faster and harder. And they tend to be much heavier too.
  14. I need help

    Gotcha. Even in shake, if series blades are relatively head heavy. You could look into the ma lin carbon, it's lighter in general.
  15. I need help

    I mean... You give no context to anything. Cpen or jpen? Soft or hard blade? Carbon or no carbon? What is heavy to you? Because we may feel weight completely different. For the rubber, nothing is like dignics. So either stick with that or find something else and compromise. Mantra pro and...
  16. i dont think chinese rubbers do most people any favours

    I agree and disagree. I've played with euro and chinese for years, alternating between them. I find that Chinese rubbers are much better on the table, much better serve, receive, and their block is also much better. Last year that I started boosting, I saw great improvement in the open rally...
  17. Similar Butterfly blade to Syntelliac VCI

    I'd avoid the ovcharov alc, it's a bit harder than ifalc.
  18. Would the Glayzer 09c and Glayzer with the Tibhar SPW be a good combination?

    I don't see why. You can get normal h3 neo provincial and boost it, it's a much better rubber for the fh. But the g09c isn't that bad for the bh, but I find it lacks speed even like that. I'd avoid the normal glzyzer like the plague, the rozena is worlds better.
  19. Generating power very far from my body on backhand

    To me the problem looks to be in the forearm that is completely rigid. Try to drop your forearm lower and bring it a bit more back. Bend your elbow like compressing a spring, that will bring the racket closer to your body and allow you to spring out with more power and acceleration. Then extend...
