Just circling back with a further update as I have now played both the Q and the S for several weeks, and have been using both throughout my training sessions, and changing between in order to evaluate - also had several other players I trust trying them. Headlines are that the Q is much closer...

Both mine are 196g with H3 and Z2 / Goldarc 9 - they feel pretty balanced despite the slightly heavier weight than I am used to (190g) Looking forward to your thoughts on the Z2 / C55 (especially how it compares to H3 on this setup)

This story was even in the Times in UK this morning talking about Chinese athlete fans in general causing problems for athletes such as Pan Zhanle and also mentioning specifically CM & SYS!

That’s good to hear. I reached out to the seller (ProTT) and he told me it’s not uncommon with DHS blades apparently

There is a circular sticker on the film that you scratch off - under that is a 16 (I think) digit code you enter into DHS site. I wouldn’t assume it’s a fake - mine both checked as real/verified and both are 3g heavier than the box.

Yes - strangely my Q and S 968 are both 94 vs 91 on the box - both checked as original blade via DHS. Never experienced this before on DHS blades.

Very good advice - thanks. I have been working hard on a more attacking BH loop drive vs backspin for this reason. I was also considering a lower spin push to give them less to work with and to avoid the ever increasing spin levels making my opener harder the longer I wait!

Those are fair points - I have many opponents who are higher quality and also non conventional / awkward players and they are more frustrating as you say. I would say that I tend to play up and increase my level vs conventional better players and often come closer to winning. Vs lower level...

Not sure I agree here - I am a reasonably advanced player who has all the necessary opening shots vs backspin, but in the heat of a match vs a lower level player with strong pushing skills or other "different" shots, I can still find myself caught out and missing open ups on my BH side - leading...

Good result - congratulations. The camps are very very good - this was my second year at Grantham and I’m booked for next year week 1 - be great to see you there.

The H8-80 I had was hugely different in weights and was also too heavy for me. I also like boosted D09c but find D05 even better and slightly closer to T05. However I am also on a Hurricane journey and have a couple of sheets of pros and nat 39 deg on my blades right now and am liking it very...

How did you get on? I was at the course prior to the tournament - have you ever thought of going?

Great idea - done!

My two are both fairly stiff, crisp and direct - the older 2013 one a little less so but both significantly more so than my 968 or other innners.

Nice, I hope you enjoy it

No - your first statement clearly said that the booster makes the rubber harder than without the booster (which is not correct) but now you are saying that the rubber doesn't soften as much as the with the other boosters - two very different things.

To be fair that is not how I understood what you said either. In your first post you stated : "Black hardens the rubber even more than it already is" which is very different from saying it "remains" harder as you are saying now.

It's a fair question for sure. My view is that of the current crop of CNT players, he certainly has the game to be the main man from a technical and movement perspective however the bigger question for me is whether he has the mental strength to carry that game where it needs to go. He has...

Incredible...

I hope you like it a lot - let us know once you have tried it.
