Hi all I am interested in thoughts on these two rubbers in conjunction with a Viscaria. My expectation would be that C53 as the softer of the two rubbers, would be easier to control than D09c? They are both hybrid and somewhat tacky, with C53 also feeling softer by top sheet design. I have...

Hi all For those of you that use this stroke regularly, I am interested in your approach. The biggest challenge for me is choosing the right ball to attack with a flip - either serve return or shorter push to my BH. In most of my matches I tend to face either a faster, longer serve which does...

HI all I wanted to share some thoughts and gather any other views on these two blades, from those that may have played with both. I currently play with the Viscaria as my main blade and like it very much but have also been toying with the Harimoto, which in theory might suit my level better...

SOLD Purchased new in March this year and made in Nov '21 according to info card. Weight is 91g and condition is very good (one small ding in the side you can see in pic) I have played less than 20h with this as I have been trying a few other blades. Can post to UK but am also coming to US in...

Hi all I am looking for peoples thoughts on the above pls. I am on a journey to improve my game as much as possible before the next season starts in September and want to give myself the best shot by dedicating my exercise/fitness time to some specific work. Currently I train with weights...

Spent a very enjoyable day this weekend at this event in Nottingham with my son. I was blown away by the quality of play across the board, and in particular how many great upcoming U21 players were making their mark. Of note was Louis Price of the TTD team who played some amazing matches and at...

Hi all Just a quick update on my thoughts having now tried both these combinations on my two HL5X blades. I tried the Dignics combo first and played for about 3h with it - it was fairly easy to use and I felt that both rubbers matched my style of play well. The D09C certainly feels pretty hard...

I received this as a free gift from the store on Ali that I ordered my glue from - looks like either some sort of booster or speed glue? any Ideas?

I haven't found too many reviews of this rubber over the past month or so, so thought it might be helpful to others to post my experience so far. By way of context I am a returned player to the game, after a long hiatus but having played at a good standard in my youth. I now play in local league...

Hi all I’m just preparing a couple of new sheets of rubber to glue and was surprised by the weights. H3N Pro BS 2.15/40 : uncut with single thin layer of Seamoon = 63g H8-80 red 2.1/38 : uncut with single thin layer of Seamoon = 78g That’s a lot heavier than I expected for the 8-80 and...

Hi all I am considering some changes to my setup on both blade and rubber (both or either) and am looking for any thoughts or insight from those with more experience than I have. By way of context, I am a fairly recently returned player - I played to a good standard previously and have solid...

Hi all I am looking for some thoughts from others with a similar challenge. I wear glasses for long vision, so typically to watch TV or drive my car - anything over about 4-5 ft away is clearer with my glasses on. For reading and computer work I don't require them and in fact my sight is...

So last night I was having my weekly lesson with my coach, when he asked me to try his bat.. It was a Donic all-round blade (not sure of the model but have asked him) with Bluefire M1 pro turbo on both sides. My bat is a 301x with H3 pro on FH and Rakza 9 on BH. What was interesting was the the...

Hi all I am interested in hearing from anybody who has made the transition either from 301x to ML5 (x) or vice versa - I am keen to understand the key differences in how these blades play in terms of feel, speed and control in particular. I'm aware of the difference in top ply wood and the...

Hi all My first post here and hoping for some insight from those with more expertise please. I am a returning player to the sport after having played seriously as a young man - I have had a few resurgences over the years but this one is the most committed. I am an offensive style player who is...
