Yup these are the exact same shoes as Speed Art and Sanwei. The original maker is Speed Art, and Sanwei rebranded it first and someone at Yasaka is smart enough to ask to rebrand it as theirs. Nothing new about this, there are dozens of Mizuno Wave Drive rebrands and those are dogshit in...

If you consider the Hammond Z2 you could look at Mantra Pro too. The direct Z2 alternative in Mantra Pro would be the H version, but Mantra Pro has M and XH too. Maybe M would be more suitable for BH. On TT-Japan it's really cheap (23-25USD), I really wouldn't mind recommending their shop.

Hmmm, I found the Vega Europe to be a feel good rubber, just nice to play with. Oh well. I haven't tried any of the Xiom Hybrids, I kinda lost all hope with ESN hybrids after K3 and C2 being not durable at all. Rakza Z and K2 are pretty decent tho, but I wouldn't really rec them for BH...

I mean the old Vega Europe not the DF. I'm just saying around 42-45 degree rubbers since that is between Rakza X and X soft. But I guess Baracuda or Fastar C-1, G-1 would work well too. Bluestorm JP01-02. I think Vega Europe and Japan are very overlooked and the Vega Japan in particular is 👌👌👌

Maybe something like Vega Europe or Vega Japan would be nice.

Well look at that, Yasaka is paying attention.

Just now comparing the Double Fish VP long time boosted to Powerplay-X recently boosted I noticed one very interesting thing. The VP has much thicker sponge, like you can just tell by looking you don't need no calipers and such. Also the VP topsheed oxidizes less than the Powerplay-X. Does that...

The top top pros for sure don't give a shit, but WR 50-200 for sure will sell the equipment they receive to anyone willing to pay. Not just used, they will sell new.

On my W968 prov I did use sealing in the end since I had the splintering issue. Not huge splinters but these little hair splinters, but it is annoying and I don't want my racket to shed. I used the DHS sealer since I assumed it is probably the best for limba as most DHS blades use the soft limba...

Fastarc G-1.

That OP video is a pretty good find. Not long ago Nittaku also released a video but it's less detailed and it's more in Mima Ito perspective.

Sounds great! What is roughly your rubber's cut weight? You got 40 or 41deg?

Not at all, but it seems some others had this issue as well. I really don't know if it's a H3 thing or boosting related or oxidation. The rubber looks perfectly fine tho, but as you say even on not so thin contact it slips. During countering it's unusable.

You can brush with it but I feel it's better to go more into the sponge, it outputs better quality ball. But brushing is pretty good with it too. For safe open ups it's about as good as it gets from ESN. But for me G-1's best quality is that it works in cold, hot, humid, dry. Many rubbers are...

Hmmm, It's just so bizarre since G-1 has the most automatic grip from all rubbers. Like if you touch the ball you have great grip already. Most rubbers will slip at thin or weak contact but G-1 is pretty great even at those. And G-1 is pretty easy to use and understand. It's a rather simple...

Dunno man, H3 37 on backhand is very uninspiring unless you know what you are doing. You could get the Yinhe Moon 12 Blue Medium- on your backhand and feel more comfy and just enjoy playing and maybe experiment with your shots. But I would actually encourage you to use G-1 on the backhand. It's...

Most aliexpress shops send one as bonus. So I mostly use either that or the best one is the white glue cover foil of Hurricane 3 or Yinhe glue cover foil😂 I like the Yinhe Moon Blue gift cover that's in the package too, it's so cute. This one is a sticky one but I don't remove the cover on the...

I think boost it. It drinks booster like there's no tomorrow. Boostaholic rubber for sure. The biggest problem with it is that it's freaking heavy :( Otherwise awesome.

Victas V>15 extra is a bit faster but maybe not flatter. Durability is about as good as it gets from German made rubbers. I think the Lebesson Off- is a pretty good blade so maybe don't change. Or look at something like Rosewood 7 or Andro Wanokiwami Ren.
