Bigger head size = bigger sweet spot However, bigger head size also creates more air resistance. If this is going to be a trend, we will soon be back to the old-school JO Shape ;) :P

At first, I didn't like MK on BH. In general, FH topspin is more powerful with more arm movement compared to BH topspin. Due to lack of catapult of MK and my BH topspin relies much on wrist movement, I had issues lifting the ball and(!) putting a lot of topspin in the ball. Personally, I think...

Handle design apart (that's individual) , but I'm surprised about the head size. For an attacker blade, it's a rather large head size.

Trip to memory lane! 38mm, Rosskopf Fire with Samba both sides. 1hr before match glued wet, just before match 2 layers dry. Sound machine!

Good question and I indeed replaced Hexer Grip with the Hybrid MK. First time I tried it, I missed to catapult on my BH. Hexer Grip already has less catapult compared to Rasanter/Evolution, but still more than Hybrik MK. However, I really enjoy MK on FH and wanted to give MK on BH another try...

Nah...need red on FH as my compulsive neurotic innerself doesn't accept otherwise ;) But I'm okay with 60-65hrs of decent longevity of a rubber.

Quick word on the longevity/quality of the Hybrid MK. Used the red rubber on my FH for about 65hrs and black on BH about 35hrs. Reglued multiple times using rev3 and removed glue from sponge several times (normally after glueing 3 times). Sponge is still looking good. Both rubbers in 2.0mm by...

Listed hardness in degrees refers to the sponge. Overall feeling of the rubber is greatly impacted by the hardness of the topsheet. Topsheet of Bluegrip S1 is much softer compared to topsheet Glayzer 09C and as a result, the overall feeling of the S1 is softer with a longer hold of the ball...

I have about 8 different Inner ALC blades currently (really need to start selling some stuff actually), so I do know how an Inner ALC blade feels like. I also know that the blade doesn't determine the curve/throw of the ball but the rubber is. The characteristics of a blade determine rebound...

uhm...doing really my best to understand this.....sorry, I really tried. uhm, wait .... wut?! ....that is....groovy Still made me smile though :)

Ligna handles are bit bigger compared to regular Andro blades. If I'm not mistaken, the Ligna blades are produced by Soulspin in Germany. And that's exactly why I will never sell my Infinity VPS with Legend handle :)

Although it might be a 42d rubber, the feeling is more "compact" compared to many other typical soft rubbers, like R42, Bluefire M3, etc. I would not state that Hybrid MK feels hard, but compact is a better description IMO.

In order to provide the best advice, it's useful to actually mention the model of Mizuno. I'm a big Mizuno fan as well, but only because of the Wave Medal series. Wave Drive does not provide enough support for me, but if you are looking for a light weight shoe, Wave Drive is the one. If you are...

Yonex are great indeed. Nittaku recently teamed up with Yonex even: Moving Ace+ Link: https://www.nittaku.com/special/movingace/

Interested in the So-Ten as well. Although FL handle is a bit wider/bigger compared to regular Nittaku handle, I consider it still as (too) thin and that's holding me back.

2 New blades by Nittaku: Irodori series. Again a new type of carbon: KVC3 Gyo-En: outer, 5.6mm, 157x150 So-ten: inner, 5.7mm, 158x152 Top ply looks different as well. Maybe koto for Gyo-En and limba for So-ten? (my japanese is a bit rusty so could not find any details on Nittaku's website ;)

Not everyone wants to discuss TT and TT equipment constantly. Most of TT players are not an EJ and they don't change their blade and/or rubbers very often. But when they do, they visit forums like TTD to ask for advice. When they made their choice, they don't longer have the need to stay...
