I started with Revolution No.3 medium and have to agree it's a good starter glue due to its easy spreadability and ease of removing from your blade. From the sponge...not as much. (I've heard the original formula is better but I've only used the odor-free formulation.) Now I use DHS No.15. I...

I also boost on top of the factory or one glue layer. It may be placebo but I think it helps prevent booster from contacting the topsheet and causing separation bubbles. Then another 1-2 layers of glue. (1 if I'm just experimenting/expect to peel it off in the near future; 2 if I plan to keep...

I'll be at the Chicago Wind vs Atlanta Blazers match on Friday. 🏓💥🏓 I'll try to get some footage.

My HAL FL handle is 101mm, the same as my Joola Rossi Emotion FL and Stuor Professional Long 5 in ST. If anything I remember my Viscaria feeling shorter, but I sold it so I can't confirm. The HAL FL handle is still on the narrow side (in my opinion). I wish manufacturers would offer blades in...

Bought a Loki Kirin K5 today for no reason other than it was <$12 and the structure sounds interesting. Also got Stiga Mantra Pro M and Moon 12 Blue to test on the BH of my HAL and a 6-pack of the new recycled DHS balls (RS40+). The only thing that didn't feel like a deal was the DHS No.15...

I've never tried 7-ply so I can only speak in generalizations but it seems to me 7-ply offers greater speed with similar feel to 5-ply since it's all wood. 7-ply can be faster than some carbon blades, but you don’t get the increased sweet spot and stability of carbon/fiber, which is why I think...

The HAL isn't true carbon, it feels more like wood but with the enhanced sweet spot and stability of fiber reinforcement. I don't know if I would classify it as a learner's blade but it's probably a good compromise if you don’t want to buy a wood blade and then invest in a carbon/fiber blade...

Ended up swapping my dead R45 for a lightly-used Vega Korea from my other racket and it is working nicely. I think I'll give O8 Euro a try when it wears out. Hopefully by then tt11 will have a sale...

It's a $25 blade...can't ask for too much lol

What complaints? I thought the new ball was fairly well-received.

And 2/3 in sandals, no less! 😂👏👏👏

I've used the Stuor Hinoki Carbon and I can confidently say it doesn't really suit your play style. It's very direct, fast but not particularly spinny. Good short game tho (as does anything with a hinoki top ply).

Normally I don't notice the tag too much, but I just got a Sanwei Fextra 5 for a beginner buddy of mine and the tag on it is a thick, raised plastic, VERY noticeable. One of the few blades I would definitely turn around to have the tag be the backhand side/resting in the palm.

I read this as "Lebrun" and thought "Well that's pretty obvious..."

What a dominant performance by Truls. When he's on, he looks like a WR1. He's topped two big events now in pretty close succession but both were in Europe...I wonder if he can get over the hump outside of "home" territory and push towards that top spot.

"No the Zyre" = no desire? :ROFLMAO:

Plus a great vacation!

I live in the US and even I buy most of my stuff from TT11 (or AliExpress). Service and shipping are top-notch and it still comes out more affordable than the big US sellers. BTY is the exception of course, but I don't usually buy Butterfly. If I wanted something my coach orders in bulk from an...
