It's a pretty sound approach. You like myself like to try a lot of equipment though, so settling on something good enough for a while or very good period, might benefit you. It's extremely unlikely you will find a cheap W968 clone given the quality and selection that goes into it, unless you...

Which stats are you referring to? Switching to faster more dynamic rubbers like the 2 I mentioned will already give you a great boost of speed. Switching to carbon on top of it would be a big jump and you would lose a great deal or control and feel which are connected and the 2 most important...

I think the W968 is fit for at least 1600+, maybe even lower depending on the player. The feel, control and feedback are insane and the speed is not overwhelming unless you really get into it, plus that can always be tinkered with the rubbers chosen for it. I see players below 1400 play with...

Hi Andy, Welcome to the Forum! I'd keep the blade and put either Razka 7 Soft in 2.0mm both sides or Butterfly Rozena in 1.9mm both sides. If you really want to upgrade the blade too, steer away from carbon and stay with a 5-ply all-wood but a little thicker, like the Butterfly Falcima for...

Perhaps, the W968 combines them all with some secret magic recipe. One day you should get a Provincial if you can.

I think the DHS X versions of the HL5 and Fang Bo Carbon are bound to feel closest to the 968 but even then...

This makes it sound like an HL5 which to me lacks crispiness and power unlike the W968.

Yes, I think it's an appropriate switch with the same rubbers. Switching to the Stiga Cybershape Wood is pretty much equivalent to switching to a Butterfly Petr Korbel, one step up from the Primorac OFF-.

He's talking about the 5-ply all-wood Primorac OFF-.

Remember to practice and play games against weaker players as well, to practice getting more comfortable with certain shots.

Thought it might suit you! That's a huge difference in points. Which H3 did you choose and are you boosting it?

Both Zwill and Gregor gave you some solid recommendations. Just be aware that we don't know how these rubbers will behave on a balsa hinoki.

As stated earlier, 5.5mm.

What you're describing sounds a lot like the W968, get a Provincial if you can.

You should get the X version, supposed to have a larger handle.

K, will do it soon.

Yea, and more crisp.

I thought it was up North somewhere. I'm gunna have to look into it!

Tried it yet? The top plies look thick, even thicker than on the 968.
