Battle III is a lot better, a russian guy reviewed this rubber and said it had nothing special but the cost is expensive, battle 3 is a better rubber and better value overall
Some of them do, most of them don't. Most of them focus on complete other things. If many of them focused on equipment, we would see them trying new rubbers a lot more often but that simply doesn't happen, so it's not false.
Equipment does matter only for certain levle/people. I think what matters even more is dedicated training time. I know few professionals in Russia who have zero clue about equipment, they simply play with what their clubs gave them. Some of them have been playing with the same equipment for...
Apolonia is only a slightly slower than Ovtcharov innerforce alc, which has nearly the same speed as viscaria/timo boll alc. It is slower only in the short game. Franziska, on the other hand, rarely weighs more than 85g. All the ones that I was able to find were in the range 80-87g. Apolonia the...
I'd choose patrick franziska innerforce ZLC with weight 80-84g as it is low OFF- blade with superb control (has amazing feedback vibration) and two rozenas if you like soft rubbers with speed or two glayzers if you like slow and more controlled rubbers
Can anyone who has played with Viscaria/Timo Boll type blades (Xiom 36.5 ALXi, Hugo SAL/HAL, Ice Cream, An Jaehyun etc.) which one has the most vibraiton/feedback upon the ball contact? I have never played with any xiom blades so don't really know what to expect. I had timo boll ZLC and I want...
Yesterday I tried my friend's ovtcharov alc 92g right after mine 80g franziska. The difference is night and day in terms of speed/penetrating power but with franziska I have a lot more control over the placement. With ovtcharov the only thing I could do is attack, attack and attack. There was...
I have played with freitas alc and apolonia only once but it was enough to see the difference between them and my franziska innerforce zlc. Apolonia is pretty similar to freitas except it is more head heavy and has more of an arc with the same rubbers compared to flatter traejctory from the...
I don't think you can feel vibrations on a blade without rubbers. When I had my blade that vibrates the most (innerforce patric franziska zlc) and tried the bare blade, there was 0 vibration. When I glued the rubbers on I could feel the entire handle vibrate upon the contact as well as the head...
Do you think Yinhe pro 05 vibrates more then? I know a couple stiff blades that have a lot of vibrations, like freitas alc for example, at least the one that I played with
V5 has noticable more annoying vibrations (as if the blade is going to break upon the contact) and loud sound as the outer layer is extremely hard compared to viscaria which has muted feel, less loud. In terms of speed I would say V5 has slightly less speed and less flex. The main difference I...
I've played with 301x too, and just like you, I found it to be feedback lacking. I was also thinking if fang bo's handle is thicker or not, compared to 301 series. The 301Z is supposed to have best feedback in the series according to scientific tests published on ttgearlab
Oops sorry, I misread it. I thought you said "the only negative point of it is the blade itself" lol
Previous fextra 7 was way too thin for me, I wonder if fextra 5 will fit better or not
