Same for me at the mo

The info I gave above is fairly recent, I've been training with it for a few months now and it's a good fit for me. I'll be using it on BH for the coming season. It has strengths where I need them at the moment, and the weaknesses don't really apply to my level or style of game. I guess the...

To be clear - my comparison is specifically talking about C45 vs C48, and I think it's a more general one about using the same topsheet with a softer sponge. If a player wants to use a softer sponge, I think by definition they're looking for this tradeoff and it's pretty much why softer-sponged...

Quick update on the C45. It's not massively different to the C48, a touch more early catapult, and lower arc on harder shots, so very much in-line with what you'd expect really. It trades a little top-end power for some low-end bounciness. I find it a little easier to use on my BH while still...

I've picked up a sheet of C45 this week as an alternative to R45 or C48 on my backhand. It took me a while to adjust to C48 on backhand, similar experience to what NL talks about above really. Just feels a bit unusual compared to the norm. Would like a bit more catapult so trying C45, will...

At this point I'd say Glayzer has an edge when looping/driving most of the time, Rozena more direct and feels better for blocks / flat hits. Most of that impression comes from Rozena being softer sponged, slightly more catapulty and less spin sensitive IMO. I think Butterfly have positioned...

I've had a couple of hours with both Glayzers on my VCI. Initial online feedback was mixed so I was a bit sceptical on the way in to trying them out. The good news I think is that they both compare very favourably to Rozena. I like Rozena, good price, decent speed, average spin generation...

Oh Alexis, what a sickener. If you're going to beat the world no1 then you use all the table....

I picked up a VCI with ST handle recently (87g), had a few sessions with it. Don't do a lot of reviews these days, but initial impressions are very good. Quality is high, speed isn't overwhelming but quick enough, feel is traditional limba, sweet spot is good, no hollow feeling. Slightly...

K3 is definitely softer, more catapult, makes a lot of noise on hard hits. Doesn't last as long as 09c but durability isn't awful. The 53 degree esn hybrids are closer to 09c imo. Rakza Z EH, Rasanter C53 for example.

Almost bought a VCI a few weeks ago, only the lack of ST handles put me off in the end. I'll probably cave in and get one when stock is knocking around. I tend to like the same stuff that Airoc does - following his equipment whims seems to pay off more often than not. I'm also wondering if...

Crazy point in the FZD vs Yuan Licen match: https://youtu.be/PleYiq4YBh0?t=399

They've also announced CWT versions of both cybershape blades. Magnets and weights.... https://www.stigasports.com/en/product/cybershape-carbon-cwt

The C topsheet is a lot less tacky than 09c, sponges are a little softer for C53, a lot softer for C48. I think it's a bit easier to generate spin with C with less effort, through the middle gears. You get more out of 09C with very hard swings, or violent brush looping. As airoc mentioned...

The marketing is trying to imply that on topspin counters, something about the pip design is "eating" the incoming topspin. Scrubbing it off, so it becomes easier to play counterloop shots because you don't need to apply extreme bat angles to keep the ball down. Honestly - it did feel like you...

I've had 3 sessions with them now. They feel a little harder than the equivalent R version, topsheet feels a little tighter, and a touch slower but not hugely. Comparing R48 and C48, or the 53 versions, I think there are 2 main features - better spin on brushy contacts, and a feeling of the...

Mine have arrived, I've got: C48, Red, 2.0mm (uncut weight 67.40g) C53, Black, Ultramax (uncut weight 75.42g) As Sherwin mentioned, they're hardly tacky. Less than any Rakza Z I've ever had, less than D09C, and a little less than Hybrid K3 (my sheet of K3 wasn't very tacky). The only rubber...

German forum posts have mentioned that it's as tacky as Hybrid K3, but we'll have to see what comes through the letterbox.
