I never tried H8, how much is the speed difference between H8 and H8-80? Is H8 closer to H3N in play characteristic?

With chinese rubbers so far it is the best thing since sliced bread. With Aurus Select it is unusable.

NON-IMPORTANT STUFF, but Zwill likes to rant: I actually kind of feel bad about writing this review. I have wrtitten a few and I kinda praise everything. I really feel bad for this because it makes me look like a shill. I am not a shill, I mostly buy stuff or receive them from teammates for...

I think actually the 40 degree Dignics sponge is about 53 degree in ESN. The Rasanter R53 was a direct competitor to D05 and it is a great rubber(even for bh) until the factory boost evaporates. D09c sounds like it's so hard with 44 degree sponge but in reality it's only a little harder than...

I found the C2 to be pretty slow, it's faster than H3 but not much. And I think it would be not so easy to use on backhand. Probably Rakza Z (especially the extra hard) is one of the fastest hybrid rubbers so finding faster one is a pretty tall order. I guess Tibhar K2, K3 might fit the bill. A...

That's okay. I forgot to mention D64 is very unforgiving for the wallet too.🤡

Dignics 64. It's good but has very little fault tolerance.

Did you have both K3 in the same color?

I would not count it out either. FZD was the prime example of that deception.

Some teammates have said the same about Donic C2. It gets white spots way too early compared to other sticky rubbers. The C2 topsheet seems very similar to the rasanter C series... Can't imagine why lol Probably performance is not impacted by this, just looks ugly. Sticky hybrids last quite...

Lot of Chinese women changed from Carbonado 45 to Viscaria or Lin Gaoyuan ALC and a few changed to W968. Wang Manyu was using a Lin Gaoyuan ALC before, I wonder if Stiga has made a Viscaria clone for her or it's something different.

That's actually not a horrible idea. They do it with leather, I think it's called tumbled leather. In audio gear some companies also burn in the speakers before shipping them. I'm sure there are many other examples.

Getting used to something different is not the same as breaking it in. I highly doubt anyone can break in a H3 in 2-5 minutes. But the harder and stiffer the rubber you have the longer it takes to break it in. A tenergy is basically almost good to go out of the pack, while a H3 takes some long...

It's also illegal, it would be additional weight, and the rubber will flap around causing more undesired vibrations. The rubber would peel up from the blade much easier too.

I would call it a bit severe. Rasanter is not the only one like this tho, MXP, Joola Rhyzer was pretty much the same deal. It's pretty simple, Victas doesn't ask such chemicals to be used. The Victas V15 has a very different sponge to any other, it's very rubbery, the material kind of reminds...

What would make me very cautious about the Rasanter C series (and any andro rubber for that matter) is the obvious curl they have out of the pack. It is super obvious they are factory boosted. The R53 is a pretty fantastic rubber out of the pack too for about 2 months. Then it turns really...

I hope they reboot the Terminator franchise and cast Wang Yidi in the main role. She is scary.

I found a barely used orange 40 deg H3N at home. Also "deboosted", it feels much softer than the 41 deg tbh. Anyways I swapped them so I wonder how the 40 deg will feel. I guess I'll find out in 2 hours.

Patrick Franziska is 30, Ma Long 33, neither old. Chuang Chih Yuan just defeated Liang Jingkun so not sure what to think about age. Probably it matters a lot more who had what injuries and how many in their life. ​​​​​​Maybe Ma Long had a bad day, maybe Patrick had a good day, it can happen to...

Hmm, today I just glued on a plain Jane commercial 41 deg unboosted (probably actually the booster is totally gone since it was not in its vaccuum pack for a while) H3N orange. On BH I had a friend's V15 extra. H3 was so good actually. Didn't realize H3 is so bloody fast on this blade. Don't...
