If you ask tech spec of equipment it will give you wrong values and inconsistent descriptions. Like 40 degree ESN rubber being medium hard and things like these. ChatGPT is son of this social network generation, that knows about everything as long as they type behind a screen. It's a jack of...

Victas Euro Feeling Off- with Andro Rasanter R42 2.0mm and Gewo Hype EL Pro 40 1.9mn

I agree 100%. Yesterday I watched my coach in the final round of the national masters' championship. He made 2 winning drop shots. I think last time I saw 2 drop shots in 2 consecutive rallies, it was Waldner playing 🤣

Yes it's been petty much annoying, it's spectacular just because chinese players can do that at light speed but speed apart there was very little to enjoy. I do acknowledge that Chinese players can get easily over the 3rd touch, Europeans are even more annoying. Most of the match is watching...

Honestly Fan Zhedong in semifinal and final had mostly BH-BH rallies with his opponents. Let's all thanks the amazing ABS balls

YinHe U-2 is Koto-ayous-ayous-ayous-ayous-ayous-koto. I've tried a Butterfly Power 7 (same composition) that had an amazing control and stability and was still faster than a 5ply. My coach uses that blade. It's 5.7 mm thick. I loved that feeling. Unfortunately it's been discontinued. The U2 is...

Yasaka Sweden Extra is great. I also have a Victas Euro Feeling Off- that uses same wood of Nittaku Violin. I love both.

I tried a Butterfly Power 7 and it was amazing feel and control. It's discontinued but closest alternative is Xiom Solo.

Well, at least before excluding these, we should prove they are negligible. But I was talking about glue and blade which are a little closer to the rubber than Moon, so perhaps some investigation won't hurt.

That's also the point of view of engineering. Response to inputs is what an engineer cares about when designing a system. Response function of a rubber is what the player feels, hardness it's a property that affects response function, but what matters is the function rather than the properties...

I can't say this is always the case, but I cannot exclude that characteristics of the rubber are affected by the presence of a softer or a harder underlying layer(s). I'm not the right type of engineer to evaluate these kind of things, but I wouldn't be surprised if a softer blade might enable...

Personally I believe all this is pointless because the current status of the production system is close to alchemy rather than engineering. What I think is: 1. Production system has a huge degree of error. You barely get 2 pieces of the same rubber with the same characteristics, I doubt you can...

About the FH medium hardness rubber, I was looking for this kind of solution in another thread. I received a lot of suggestions, Fastarc G-1 and Tibhar Aurus (old one) looked the best value-price options at least for me considering shipping. Try to have a look.

I tried Rozena on a Primorac Made in Japan. I knew already how good the blade was, but I found Rozena to be a good way to make it feel just average.

Avalox is producing a newer version of the P500 and P700 and looks like users are complaining that newer versions are pretty mediocre compared to the older ones.

Korbel made in Japan is on my wishlist. I used to love my Primorac and when I tried the Japanese manufacturing I was amazed how better it was. Initially I was almost all-in for the Nittaku Septear Lead. I asked with this thread medium rubbers planning for that blade. It would have been a bet...

I'm not evaluating composite blades

Cool, thanks!

Right, 84 but I wish I didn't start to play this sport only 30 years after!
