I bought a pair of Mizuno tt shoes. I am a size 11. I bought size 11 and they were at least 1 size too big. I should have bought a size 10. Mizuno shoes fit like Butterfly shoes. Odd sizing!
I tried both Stiga Mantra Pro M and Stiga DNA Hybrid M and found DNA Hybrid M to be lighter and more controllable. Pair that with Stiga Cybershape Allround and you have a controllable, offensive set up.
I tried both rubbers tonight. You are right. DNA Hybrid was a little slower with more control. Mantra Pro had a little more kick to it. I felt more comfortable with DNA Hybrid M.
I played against an 1800 level (USA) with Rakza Z on his fh. The amount of spin on the ball was insane! The ball had such a kick, it was hard to keep up with the ball.
