    Review by 'Wrighty67' on item 'Zyre 03'

    I have played about 4 hours with this rubber on my FH - coming from using Bluestar A1 and more recently Bluegrip J1. I appreciate the softer and more compliant feel of this rubber, it requires less commitment and physical effort than the harder sponge rubbers I have been playing with. I love the...

  2. Butterfly Zyre 03

    I tried my sheet of 2.7 on FH last night for a couple of hours and today for a similar period. I am coming from Bluegrip J1 (and other harder hybrids) First impressions - it's certainly different. I found it played like a combination of a harder sponged hybrid and T05, which to me was a very...

  3. Donic Ovtcharov Original No.1 / Senso comparison

    The Donic no 1 was obviously influenced by or based on the 968 that Dima had been given. The 968 is a much more dynamic and powerful blade than HL5, which to me is how the Donic feels in comparison the much steadier and slower HL5. The Donic is by no means a 968 replacement but is from the same...

  4. Donic Ovtcharov Original No.1 / Senso comparison

    I’m. It a big fan of the senso handle as it means the blade loses feel to me. Probably does lead to more weight in the head as you say although it’s not as noticeable as you might think. Fits most rubbers well I think.

  5. Donic Ovtcharov Original No.1 / Senso comparison

    They play very differently in my experience - I have had HL5 and HL5X and 968 but also still have an original senso. The structure is similar but the feel is very different, the Senso is faster and more lively and it's a very dynamic blade to use and is certainly harder to control than an HL5...

  6. Any news and info on Zhang Jike's New donic bluegrip j line?

    To me the J1 top sheet is much better than DG or other esn hybrids - just a more responsive feeling.

  7. 50 degrees Hybrid comparisons (DNA hybrid H vs Bluestar A2 vs. Rising Dragon 2 vs. Golden Tango PS)

    So go with J3 at 50 deg.

  8. 50 degrees Hybrid comparisons (DNA hybrid H vs Bluestar A2 vs. Rising Dragon 2 vs. Golden Tango PS)

    Rakza Z is a good option but is not particularly fast. Bluestar A2 is also a really nice rubber in my opinion but much faster. The other one to consider is Bluegrip J2 which is somewhere in between the two in my experience.

  13. outerforce alc

    Outerforce is considerably softer and slower than Viscaria - it's a nice outer blade.

  15. Franziska Innerforce ZLC

    I am going to disagree a little with the other poster. Having played with both for some time I found the Franz to be a fair bit faster and more importantly a lot more reactive than the inner force. Ultimately I think it is a better blade but it is harder to control. My main issue with it was a...

  17. Looking for an alternative to Golden Viscaria

    Golden Viscaria feels quite different than a regular Vis aside from handle/balance - it’s got a much softer feel on hitting than any older or new Vis i have played.

  19. Anyone tried the new Zhang Jike Donic blades?

    The blades are certainly stiff - I have now played both. I would not however say they lack in spin - both are exceptionally good to spin with in my experience and both feel very good, with the Koto outer feeling sharper and a little more linear.

  20. Any news and info on Zhang Jike's New donic bluegrip j line?

    Short update following 3h club practice and some friendly matches last night. ZJK News era blade and J1/J2. First of note the frequency of this blade is 1470 or so which is higher than I expected and in the same ball park as my Faster Viscaria's. That having been said, whilst it does feel...
