If it were me, based on what you have said so far, I would focus on adjusting my technique from what you describe (older style) to the more closed face, forward motion oriented drives, topspin’s and loops - these will ultimately serve you better as you continue to improve and move forwards in...

Rakza 7 is a lot bouncier than G09c

Brilliant - as always. Smiled all the way through that :)

Have you played a Mazunov? I have two and both are around 1500hz and much much faster than my inner (and outer) ALC blades (also both 98-100g)

K3 is, in my opinion, a little easier to access the speed and a little bouncier than Dignics 09c - it also has less tackiness on the stop sheet. I preferred it to D09c. I haven't used G09c so not a direct answer to your question but may be helpful..

A further report back on the Q quality after a few solid weeks of playing both practice drills and matches. In short, I like it very much - it's no doubt slower and less dynanic than Z2 or Tenergy, but is commensurately easier to control and certainly does not lack in speed or spin. It does feel...

I think it's more likely the wood used and how it may have aged - plus the very hard floor for me.

I play on one much older John Jaques table (also on a hard concrete floor) at one of my league match venues - it is like lightning compared to the Butterfly 25mm tables we play on at our home venue. I find it very difficult to play on the super fast older table.

Second video appears to show much less difference and some of this could be attributable to blade - frequencies may be different? A re-glue is a good idea and see how it settles.

Nice play NL - some serious FH work in there :-)

Bump

Q quality is definitely slower than Z2 but Its not slow - I feel it‘s quite similar in feel and speed to Tibhar MK Hybrid. On my Boll ALC QQ feels safe as you say and I am probably a little bit more consistent than with Z2. I have a sheet of Q5 coming which I am interested to try on FH.

I wouldn’t worry - just use a few layers of glue to build up. Some sponge/glue combinations are prone to this.

So I’ve played with QQ on both sides for about 8h over two days at a camp, so first/early impressions. It’s on a Bill alc (sane as my Hammond is on) It feels great, but less dynamic and slower than Z2. It’s softer for sure and feels a tad more controlled. I’m going to try my original set up...

Yes, but there's a lot of detail and nuance in that video as is clear from his commentary!

That was my thinking too - I am interested to see if they play differently as a result (as one would expect them too)

Looks great but I really wish I could get the gist of what FB is saying!

Got my two sheets today - amazing service from TT Japan - 6 working days + a weekend and it's in the UK with no issues at all. I will be using them again for sure. Interesting that weight uncut for black is 71g and red is 66g so a difference I did not expect. Report to follow once I have tried...

Sure, please send me a PM.

2 sheets of Mizuno Q quality from TT Japan - can’t wait to try it..
