R9 boosted: Speed faster than boosted H3 Throw higher than boosted H3 R7 boosted: Speed ? Throw ? How are the topsheets compared to H3? Softer, harder, similar? If the R7 is also faster or at least as fast as boosted H3 37 with similar or higher throw than I would definitely give it a try...

As others already said: no, there is no replacement for (boosted) H3(N). What could be interesting is the new (available from June) Donic BlueGrip J1, J2 and J3. In Donic's words "symbiosis of the BLUESTAR A and BLUEGRIP C series was created. The top sheet mixture of the BLUESTAR A provided the...

The topsheet is softer which might give this impression. There's a great video of Fan Zhendong doing backhands against backspin showing how much he has to work for quality shots Normal speed looks effortless.,.

What's in general more demanding to play with? A rubber with a softer sponge or one with a harder sponge (37° H3(N) is similar to good old Sriver or Tackiness D but D09C around 40 or 41 DHS/Shore A)? A slower rubber or a faster rubber? Where is the probability higher to be in position to execute...

With official umpires and racket control? I highly doubt it. https://equipment.ittf.com/#/equipment/manuals -> T9: Racket Control "Surface Regularity – The racket covering must be flat, continuous, and have a regular appearance such as in texture and colour. The racket covering should extend up...

It's not a bird, it's not a plane. It must be no spin in the game. Scnr to rephrase Scooter 🙂 Nittaku is better for hard hitters (harder, less spin) than DHS D/DJ or many other balls made by DHS.

Do you really want to switch from an outer carbon blade like the Alexis Krypto Carbon to an inner carbon blade? DHS has TG506X, TG506A (different fiber) and HL5A. Regarding top ply quality 729 or Loki are usually better than DHS. Rubbers: If you just want to try a different blade than keep the...

Depends... Newer HL5 are also different from older ones https://ttgearlab.com/2023/08/19/dhs-new-hurricane-long-5-my-2022-lab-test-field-test-report/ These two blades could be Loki's answer to blades like the KTS GF.K https://ttgearlab.com/2024/10/28/kts-foundation-gf-k-photos-information/ or...

Might be overboosted. Drops of booster on the topsheet should be easily visible because they would swell the topsheet (usually these areas go back to normal after a couple of days). Rubber cleaner? I've never used these on my tacky rubbers. Just water and occasionally a bit dish soap if there is...

Best of both worlds would be nice ;) Btw: Loki released two new blades Kirin K5 Pro Inner (http://www.lokisport.com/pro_57293444.html HL5/W968 structure) and Kirin K5 Pro Outer (http://www.lokisport.com/pro_57293449.html Viscaria structure) both use "GNF fiber" instead of ALC/aramid.

With hindsight (that's basically what Werner Schlager suggests in his Glayzer video too) I also should have switched to a faster 1) blade directly instead of trying faster rubbers especially on BH. Tried a lot rubbers to get more speed but durability, arc, short game, serves or slow, spinny...

Exactly. I would applaud if you could use such a dent to your advantage but some umpires might be picky even on way lower levels than https://www.ittf.com/2025/01/15/ittf-unveils-enhanced-racket-control-process/
