Just glued new rubbers on HAL. I used Free chack. The rubbers are glued on super tightly, literally as if they were welded. What kind of glue do you use?

I tried it with AGR and ZGR and it was terrific. It is a very fast blade but the control is really good. It is effortless to create high quality shot.

Of course, people should use what they can handle and tolerate. Nothing like a good blanket statement. We’re just exchanging opinions, nothing more and nothing less than that.

It is soft vs hard and stiff vs flexy In this particular case with Zyra, I strongly recommend hard(er) blade. Tho whole point is to somehow compress that thick and hard sponge. I tried it on hinoki blade and it was just terrible. Koto outer blades, imho with a few exceptions - Ovtcharov ALC...

Your are not being rude by any means, on contrary. My opinion is worth just as much as anyone else’s. We’re not here to reach a consensus. Just like in ancient Rome, this is a forum — only in a modern digital form — and we’re here to exchange impressions and opinions. It’s neither my intention...

The test itself is quite trivial, and it’s impossible to draw any meaningful conclusion because it doesn’t take into account one critically important variable — the incoming ball’s energy, speed, and spin. In my opinion, the D05 is clearly a class faster than the T05. The only requirement is to...

What blade do you use for test purposes? Is it the same blade you used with D05/09c?

Review Update: Z3 vs D05 – After Another Session After another gaming session, I can confidently confirm my initial impressions of the Z3. This rubber demands constant, active engagement — every stroke, every situation. There’s absolutely no room for hesitation, late blocks, or passive returns...

The Overall thickness is the same. Just like 2.1. The sponge is thicker and the rubber layer is really thin. 2.7 is just another slick move from marketing dept.

Just finished local tournament with Zyra03. It is soooooo different from Dignics 05. I use 05 exclusively for the last 2 years. I will be brief. I do not like at all. It lacks pretty much everything compared to D05. First and foremost the dynamics. It is a dead feeling rubber. Much less grip on...

It is possible for Butterfly to finetune a blade to play like that. For example I feel that FZDSALC falls into that category. On slow and mid balls it feels slower, super controllable, deader if you will (compared to FZD ALC), so easy do control balls around net. However, when you hit hard, the...

Don't want to hijack the thread. Just to share my experience with alc vs. salc tech. I play with both FZDALC and FZDSALC. I guess I am in a minority who thinks that SALC is actually less bouncy, and yes....slower that ALC. It is also less crispy on contact, more muted. The exception is when...

There is no need to reach a consensus on this topic. I just wrote my experience. My opinion is as valid as anyone else's Every time I played with a sealed racket (I mean DIY sealing) I felt a significant difference. For example, joola aruna off, viscaria, lin gaoyuan alc...The sealant changes...

My racquet splinters every time I take the rubber off. I'm talking about Cybershape Carbon and Inspira. I refuse to seal it because the lacquer changes the playing characteristics significantly. Furthermore, it is completely unacceptable for this to happen on a premium product for which we pay...
