Hexamid here, Krypto there, and the world shrugs its shoulders and keeps playing ALC.

But you said you´ve played Dragon Grip, K3 and Hybrid MK as well as Sieger - all made in Germany. Or do you mean "German" as a type of rubber, Tensor and no hybrid? Overall, I think the hybrid rubbers were introduced to combine Chinese characteristics and spin capabilities with more dynamic...

Generally more "experienced" friends tell me that they prefer other boosters to Sea Moon for ESN sponges, in their cases Dymax Maximizer or Dandoy. Whether that applies to the slightly different sponges of the ESN hybrid rubbers I am not entirely sure, but consider it very likely. Like you, I...

Yes, even under the preconditions given, at least a better suggestion which of the three for which side of the racket would be possible. If R50 both sides is still current, maybe the same rubber for both sides again? For me, the restriction to three rubbers on an already chosen blade is ok, and...

As for direct comparison, I don´t have enough experience with the dignics rubbers. In theory, NUZN may give users of both something they desire? It´s just because I can well imagine that for me NUZN 50 will replace both R48 and C48, as the playing characteristics sit somewhere in between the...

I think it´s difficult to say who expected what. I had been told by an ANDRO player that a new rubber was in the making, a brand new technology as a further development of the C Rasanter series. (Whether that is totally accurate and in line with what the product management would say, I don´t...

Fortunately, it all goes quite seamlessly. ANDRO didn´t use the term hybrid for the C Rasanter either, neither does Butterfly for the 09c rubbers or DONIC for BlueStar. I think there are so many concepts now that this term applies to, from really sticky to slightly sticky, "typically" Chinese...

My mistake, you said K2 pro and I meant it, too when I said I´ve played with it. Forgot the "pro" part.

And that is quite some difference. What you describe might very well be one rubber from the low end and one from the high end of the range. Victas do this also, the sponge hardness for their rubbers is given as x +/- 3.

As for sponge hardness, maybe. But the 50 degree version is the least Chinese like hybrid I have encountered, if you consider the playing characteristics, and even the 55 degree version feels fine without booster according to a player who has used it for a while (4th league in Germany). On pro...

Working on that ;-) I should be able to play more regularly now that the pentecost holidays are over, and before the summer holidays begin end of July.

And yet, it´s not. At least that´s what I can say after having played both K2 and NUZN 50 - but the topsheet of the 55 is the same and to me it feels very different.

Yes, they need a few shots to become fully alive.

I don´t think you´ll find someone saying that after having played both. For me, the biggest advantage of NUZN is the precision it provides on that level of spin and speed, the feedback when contacting the ball. More spin and speed than C Rasanter is possible, but that always depends on the...

It´s a little more than that. Two hours on the first evening, the games played on another evening, then again two hours against defence on a third evening and I think 700 contacts equal a couple more hours of regular practice. All of this - except for the matches on evening two - straight...

This is a NUZN 50 after 2 hours of mostly FH to FH topspin for testing, 11 games played on another day where of course the other side of the racket was also used, two hours of nearly only forehand practice against defence and about 700 contacts during roboter practice. Despite the dust from the...

Why would it, it´s the same.

You are right, and it surely would not be my recommendation for someone who starts from scratch. For someone who already has it I think it can make sense to see if there is a possible fit with rubbers, to arrive at an overall controllable blade, since the blade might already feel familiar. But...
