...but using the Formula Donic protector sheets 👀 It's OK, I won't tell 🤫 Actually, these are my preferred sheets, too. They seem to stick the longest.

From the link you posted. I've not seen the white no-star ones, Amazon has the white with the "Advanced" label and 3* now. I use the orange ones in my robot and casual play. A lot of my [basement pong] friends like them over the Nittaku and DHS balls I've brought. They do seem spinnier, but I...

Translation: "A Gozo does not play without displaying total fealty to his master." 😂

I moved away from Vega Pro H, actually. It was a little harder than I generally like on BH, but if you're used to harder rubbers there it is otherwise great. I didn't try it on my FH but I did use Rakza Z on FH for a little while. It was good, it just made the racket heavier than I wanted. If...

Fan is putting on an absolute masterclass right now. G4 should've been 11-1 but he gave up the kill and got snaked (FZD's weakness revealed?!? 😱😱😱😂) LSD looks like a junior league player out here. ...and by the time I finished typing this, it was over 😳

I went to see the Blazers play at home for the first time last night and despite a good start by Kayama Yu and an outstanding doubles performance, the other singles matches were pretty shaky and they also got manhandled in the Golden Game for a pretty decisive loss 😔. Better luck tonight. The...

I started with Revolution No.3 medium and have to agree it's a good starter glue due to its easy spreadability and ease of removing from your blade. From the sponge...not as much. (I've heard the original formula is better but I've only used the odor-free formulation.) Now I use DHS No.15. I...

I also boost on top of the factory or one glue layer. It may be placebo but I think it helps prevent booster from contacting the topsheet and causing separation bubbles. Then another 1-2 layers of glue. (1 if I'm just experimenting/expect to peel it off in the near future; 2 if I plan to keep...

I'll be at the Chicago Wind vs Atlanta Blazers match on Friday. 🏓💥🏓 I'll try to get some footage.

My HAL FL handle is 101mm, the same as my Joola Rossi Emotion FL and Stuor Professional Long 5 in ST. If anything I remember my Viscaria feeling shorter, but I sold it so I can't confirm. The HAL FL handle is still on the narrow side (in my opinion). I wish manufacturers would offer blades in...

Bought a Loki Kirin K5 today for no reason other than it was <$12 and the structure sounds interesting. Also got Stiga Mantra Pro M and Moon 12 Blue to test on the BH of my HAL and a 6-pack of the new recycled DHS balls (RS40+). The only thing that didn't feel like a deal was the DHS No.15...

I've never tried 7-ply so I can only speak in generalizations but it seems to me 7-ply offers greater speed with similar feel to 5-ply since it's all wood. 7-ply can be faster than some carbon blades, but you don’t get the increased sweet spot and stability of carbon/fiber, which is why I think...

The HAL isn't true carbon, it feels more like wood but with the enhanced sweet spot and stability of fiber reinforcement. I don't know if I would classify it as a learner's blade but it's probably a good compromise if you don’t want to buy a wood blade and then invest in a carbon/fiber blade...

Ended up swapping my dead R45 for a lightly-used Vega Korea from my other racket and it is working nicely. I think I'll give O8 Euro a try when it wears out. Hopefully by then tt11 will have a sale...

It's a $25 blade...can't ask for too much lol

What complaints? I thought the new ball was fairly well-received.

And 2/3 in sandals, no less! 😂👏👏👏

I've used the Stuor Hinoki Carbon and I can confidently say it doesn't really suit your play style. It's very direct, fast but not particularly spinny. Good short game tho (as does anything with a hinoki top ply).
