IMO, it's the blade. It's the one that sends the feeling to your brain through your nerves and stores the memory. Changing the blade is like resetting everything.

IMHO. The lack of cushioning in the Wave Drive helps you move side to side better, which is why many pros use them. The knee pain has nothing to do with the shoes, it's probably because something else or your legs aren't aligned or in sync with your body movement, such as during a topspin...

Have you considered the Mizuno Wave Drive?

You can't go wrong with Yasaka Sweden Classic/Extra if you're a beginner. The YSE have slightly less feel as a trade-off for the extra speed, but still offer very good feedback.

Could be a Viscaria with 🐠🐠 handle 😂

Viscaria and FZD ALC go for around 760 RMB (about €90) if you buy from Japanese sellers.

For that price, I'd just get a Viscaria or FZD ALC instead

Probably gonna sell cheaper, he never won a major anyway 😂

Depends on your play style, allwood blades still work great for me 😅

Pickleball is so dangerous 🤕 Over $350,000,000 in medical costs from pickleball injuries? No thanks, I’ll play ping pong and keep my eyes 😂

I don't think so, players still use their rackets to warm up before the match. They only need to hand them in for testing about 20 minutes before the game.

I agree. D05 last longer than many ESN rubbers. But the rubber's edge rips easier than the D09C if you clip the table.

😂 That's my point. So what's the point of this?

Other than the 09C, Butterfly rubbers have average durability. Some are even below average, or brittle. Other brands may last longer, like the Fastarc G-1, a few of Andro’s rubbers, and some others too.

All modern rubbers are tuned, right? So I don't really see the difference between factory tuning and a player tuning their own. Let's say a DHS employee is assigned to tune the rubbers inside the factory a few days before a match, then sends them to the players just hours before the game, would...

Facts, the sponge soaks up some, if not most, of the water from the first glue layer, so the second one is what really "sits and sets" properly. It also smooths out the uneven first layer. I do the same on the blade too, but sometimes I find it hard to spread a thin layer on the blade surface...

Too thin isn't good unless you do double layers. The glue, blade, and rubber don't bond well and feel slightly off. You can try using one thin layer and then two... it plays a bit different. That’s just how I feel though, idk.

I'm more worried the gluing part than the cutting.

Isn't a head heavy racket normal? Almost every kind of racket in the world is head heavy. Why would anyone want to play with a racket that has a heavier handle than the head? 🤔

You’ve got Z03 & 09C on the BH? I can’t imagine how hard that setup must be for a beginner like me. How’s the Z03’s control game? Like do you have to fully commit on every shot?
