I've only ever used 39 degree H3s and k2 hardness was very similar.

k2 was 54 degrees ESN, k2 pro was harder. There are both softer and harder H3s.

I've only tried k2 pro, 4 years ago or something like that. Rock hard sponge compared to regular k2, and a completely non-tacky topsheet. Basically, nothing in common with k2, completely different rubber.

100%. After watching Sora Matsushima v Lin Yun-Ju and Lin Yun-Ju v Harimoto Tomokazu live, the replays on YT seem like bullet time from Matrix :-)

I wasn't really in the same space (in my dreams, lol :)), just sitting next to the curtain dividing the playing area and the training hall (same as during the 2018 ITTF Team World Cup), but I'm still in same sheer awe at seeing how hard and how much the pros train. Harimoto literally did drills...

Is the YT livestream stutterting for anyone else? I wonder if it's Google's turn to experience "DNS" problems ...
