You just described the whole "Stiga Cybershape pitch". I.e. the importance of a good sweetspot at the upper part of the blade.

OP's current blade actually ticks the box for wooden blade with large sweatspot. Cybershape wood is quite stable and fast enough. I believe consistency does not come with a faster carbon blade, but with sticking with something for a while. If OP would have pointed out just one or two areas to...

As I understand it Factive, even though it is a tensor, it is not considered very fast. You do not use a thick sponge either so this should be a quite controllable rubber. I would advice against moving to a classic non tensor like MarkV or Sriver, since they will quickly feel super-slow. So my...

If we would compare this with say a football match. How do football players react for instance in an important match that has gone all the way to the penalties? After the final penalty kick has been saved or scored, it often leaves the losing team in tears and the winning team storming the...

Keep an eye out for Siri Benjegård. Born in 2011. The current European champ for 13 year olds. She also placed 2nd in the 15 year olds division. Give it two years and I bet she will be in the national team :). KODETOVA Hanka vs BENJEGÅRD Siri | U15 girls singles final | EYC 2024

I think they disagreed on if the serve hit the net or not

Truls serves, serve receives and also all his backhand shots were better than they have been for the whole year. That is the main difference in my oppinion.

You are forgetting a certain German penholder, who by the way, is doing quite well without SP on forehand as well.

Truls had 9-8 in the 2nd set. What if he could have closed it and had a 2-0 lead instead of 1 - 1. It would definately have delayed FZD going into "god mode" as he did in the last 3 sets. All in all a match worthy of a OG final. Great duels, tight sets, and even an amazing snake :).

FZD looks very nervous ...

Pushing with SP is not much different than with regular rubbers. You just need to adjust the angle of the bat. Just practice a bit on finding the right angle and brush the ball less.

I am sure FZD will be practicing receiving sidespin chop blocks during training sessions today. Will be interesting to see if he will have less trouble with them tomorrow than in previous encounters.

Feels very much like FZD is going to take the gold. I do not think Hugo has the game to beat FZD. When it comes to Truls, I guess on this best day when FZD has finals nerves, he could have a shot at it, but I think Truls is just too content with reaching as far as he has already, to really "zone...

Starting to feel like the "real" final was yesterday vs Harimoto

It would be better for the sport if we finally would have a non-chinese player winning a final though ...

Truls has been in such terrible shape lately. Amazing how he can find his A-game right at the most important tournament. Truls even hit some really good backhand shots today :). Major difference is that he didn't give WCQ too many free points from easy misses or bad serve returns.

I find the rubbers quite similar. However, T05 just has a little bit extra in every department. More spin, more speed, etc. T05 is therefore a more difficult rubber to handle in the passive game of blocking and serve receive.

Good beginner-intermediate rubber. Decent speed but limited grip. Not that similar to the regular Mantra Pro's.

Yasaka Falck Carbon is inner carbon. Yasaka ST handles are quite squarish, though more flat and rectangular than the butterfly blades you referred to,

It is not really a european blade since it is made in japan. Timo boll ALC is basically the same blade as Viscaria, Fan Zhendong ALC, Lin Gaoyuan ALC, etc.
