If you wanted more from Vega Europe but found Vega X was too fast. I would highly recommend Vega Korea.

I would recommend vega Korea. Great rubber with lots of control and super reliable for making heavy spin shots if you prioritise spin over speed. Either that or Vega X if you prefer speed over spin and have (or are prepared to work on gaining) the confidence and technique to use it. Both are...

A reasonable example. But blades are a bigger investment and a more personal choice, so much harder sell. How many people the world over, buy D09C because of FZD though? I bet that is making BTY far more money than the blade series.

I think this figure was described as his current contract which I interpreted as the butterfly deal. And I didn't see it mentioned that was per year. So 500k per year I very much doubt. 500k over a contract length of several years, maybe.

Personal problems aside. ZJK is still a huge name in the sport and deserves the respect his TT skills earn him at least. He might not be playing anymore but if he's coaching a lot, especially if the coaching is available online he's still a big influence in the market. If ZJK says "Watch me do...

For sure O7P is a great BH option. Same sponge hardness as J&HV47.5 but a softer bouncier topsheet.

From what you said about having a more linear rubber with easier access to power I think experimenting with slightly softer sponge could help you. G1 is super versatile and is a great spin rubber.

I used Xiom vega Korea on backhand which I upgraded to Xiom Jekyll & Hyde V47.5 because I felt Korea was too soft. The J&H V47.5 is probably a bit harder feeling than G1. I don't find it too heavy in Max thickness but it's also available in 2.1mm

It sounds like you're still getting used to the Gewo rubbers. If you're winning more games with the Gewo rubbers it's probably best to stick with those rather than change again. I think the choice you need to make is between: Keep Gewo rubbers and practice applying more power to shots. Or. Go...

I can't comment on the AK. But agree with you on moon 12's catapult effect or lack thereof. I would say its a very safe rubber if you see that as positive. It's quite slow if you see that as a negative. If you can hit hard consistently and you're good at using your opponent's pace and spin...

+1 vote for moon 12 blue. It's linear, great short game control and outrageous spin on properly brushed strokes. You say you'd prefer something more advanced but I think moon 12 gets overlooked for being a cheaper option. It's super worthy of a trial and not a wallet buster if it doesn't work...
