https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuMJ3t4 This one is really good, I have a light weight one but it is still good. A heavier one is your best bet😌. Balance is quite good, as the handle is bigger then usual.

I bought mine for €40 at anatomic in worse condition. But I see some go for up to €400, but I don't know if they sell that well🤣

I owned two Infinity's, one as a kid. It broke within a month🤣 Now I own one that the top limba&Spruce came off. The rest of my 10+ stiga blade doesn't have durability issues in my exprience.

Made my opinion, Tibhar aurus is more controlled version of Rakza 7. I found I still gave alot of spin, but slightly less then Rakza. Blocking/ countering was easy. Service and receive was good.

Recently tried Tibhar Aurus again, probably most controlled rubber for passive strokes (as offensive player)

These podcasts are so good, Dima really gave good advice to improve mentally

I watch my friends in Local league in Netherlands Amsterdam. So much talking and arguments, couple of beers in and it is truly a wonderful sight to behold.

Thanks for the reply. Forgot to close this LF. Got myself a amazing collection including the rare Carbonado 45 cybershape. Even managed to get my main Carbonado 45 signed by waldner and persson😋

Can you compare the handle to some other blade? Is it a smaller headshape?

If you really want cheap and durable, Tibhar Aurus is €25/30 on aliexpress in sale. Getting a quality rubber is good

My two cents. I'd say Arthur china would sell good, the rest requires booster which isn't popular to the general public.

Sanwei Fextra 7 is more flexible and slightly slower. Visc handle👍

Ma Lin Soft carbon soft, wooden like feeling. Very good for blocking and using the opponent speed, mostly using it now for enhancing/improving the basics. Going all the way back to how I hold my blade.

You describe 09C

Regular return board is great, control your own shots and receive awkward balls. Becoming stable in those kinds situations is key in my opinion to becoming consistent against pips. (besides playing smart against them)

My Tibhar MK7 should arrive this week, really excited for that one

Simon gauzy SL should be under 90 grams, I'm going to test some 7 ply wood blades this month. I bought a really cheap one from ali but I doubt it is really ebony.

Perhaps try a rosewood/ ebony 7 ply blade, those are pretty hard and forgiving. The best way to improve strokes is still technique

Performance is the same, it is just that the sponge is less fragile/ brittle. When the first rubbers came the sponge broke quite easily. It felt almost dried out-ish? Pretty big difference in quality

I find D09c quite durable and accually pretty decent in terms of price performance. But Loki Arthur China also fits into high performance hybrid in my book. Latest batches are great, better sponge that is less brittle and fragile. Some of my clubmates now use it, I order and glue it all.
