Wait, what? Even if this is the case that is in the future, so it could be used. Also what is this rule about sponge backside print? How it will be enforced if the rubber is glued onto the blade? It will be taken off after the tournament and if someone used illegal sponge they will be...

Well not sure about your weight preference, for me light is 85g and below, and I know there are not many Primorac Carbons (or any) in that range. But on the other hand I doubt there are many if and FZD SALC in the 85g range, they are pretty stably around 90g. However you might try your luck and...

Yinhe does a much better job with their top tier blades than rubbers. But it's no surprise they can hire a few great blade makers and job is done, while for rubber they need to invest in expensive machinery, process and materials. Do materials matter in blades? Suuure, but a good blade maker can...

I think the Dignics transiotion on FH should not be much of a challange, but Primo Carbon to Viscaria of FZD SALC are totally different Primo Carbon has a thick and soft hinoki top play while FZD ALC has a thin and hard Koto. Ofc the carbon material is quite different too and what is more...

Hmmm, I was thinking among similar lines but nothing I have tried before. Sure a Viscaria is not terribly different or it's better clones, but in many ways doesn't play the same. I am thinking of requesting for a 2nd blade of ZQ 90 as backup. Super alc has super high sweet spot, in my opinion...

ESN (in)consistency?

Normal glayzer

For me I think it was a Novacell. I can't even remember but it was blue and Andro so I guess Novacell. The blade felt like I was playing with styrofoam. But I tried a lot of shitty blades, Carbonado 145, Infinity, half a dozen of Viscaria/TBALC, recently a 95g Korbel. I feel bad for the guys...

Glayzer, it feels softer than Rozena and better, maybe not so bouncy, but the topsheet is much better.

I'm curious about that comparison. I am going to HK next week, and I will buy some Mantra Pro M and XH there since for some reason they only cost 160RMB. It's also a new Daiki rubber I am curious how it fares against the old Mantra and Sumitomo's Mizuno rubbers. I suppose the Mantra Pro should...

After some more testing I have to say on the Joola Zhou Qihao SALC which is a Super Viscaria type blade it works much better on BH side than on Mizuntani SZLC. The Mizutani really deflects the ball a lot but that is not even the worst of it. The worst is that spinny slow balls are impossible to...

I had a 37 deg national red, that was fine without boosting, but not sure if commercial or provincial would be OK too. I guess the national rubbers are treated/boosted at DHS a bit differently. They are pretty bouncy out of the pack.

The Nittaku H3 Turbo Blue would be great if it wouldn't weigh 65g cut... With that high weight, it's only suitable if someone uses pips on BH or is a gorilla. There are a few gorillas on the forum tho... :p

Dang, those pips are really bulging. It surprised this is actually so slow. I've seen the G series many times but never thought to buy one. I even read that the G555 was designed for backhand use. But not gonna lie that G666 looks very high quality. Maybe this is good for people who wanna...

Great, I will give it a lick of Seamoon too, for me it felt pretty good out of the pack just nothing major but maybe the booster helps it. I didn't boost it since the 39 deg felt soft, but some rubbers get more "inflated" from booster. Like G-1 for me without a layer of FTL is pretty meh, but...

I also received those black sponges back in the day but I still have them. It's also for spreading the glue, I tried and I didn't like so only used the white fluffy sponge.

I will go to HK in two weeks so I might be able to pick up the Polestar-P and I see there is a 35deg pored sponge version of the Volant Phoenix. Both are available in the Slovak shop too. Did you use FTL or Seamoon?

Not yet, I'm thinking of getting one with my next order from tt-japan.

The problem is that Q5 is no longer being made. It's discontinued, probably Sumitomo was getting some special materials that are no longer available. Maybe cause of Covid or sanctions... who knows. I switched back since I felt the Q Quality would be even better with a fast blade, especially on...

I always thought that harder and stiffer blades are resonating on a higher pitch and this resonation is just a byproduct of the blade being hit and the resonation does basically nothing to the ball. In fact the less it does to the ball the better it is. And since the vibration is after the...
