Feeling for the ball

Oh no… purple sponge 😥

There are pretty much examples out there: IFALC, Harimoto, Ovtcharov, hl5, hl5x, fb2, pg5, pg5x, fb2x, w968, syntelliac vci, Elite carbon, jo gold, zx gear inner, tezzo warrior, tezzo paladin, Shang kun ac, Lebrun inner carbon, so ten, hina hayata, 36.5 alxi, some Yinhe blades, sword 997...

If you consider Viscaria as the general composition Koto-alc-ayous-kiri, which is dominant in the market of outer blades and used by almost every brand, then you also have a dominant inner composition: Limba-ayous-alc/ac-ayous. Also used by almost all brands and much more dominant than other...

What’s the difference between both?

All those Nittaku blades made in Germany are made by soulspin

Most of them are inner alc compositions: Limba - ayous - alc / tmx - ayous There is only one exception I know of outer with bigger headsize: Xiom Cho daesong pro, which is Koto - tmx - ayous- kiri

Interesting 🤔

No… old energy force shoes simply were much better since they were developed and produced by asics

Pack sizes of glues often make me mad… butterfly e.g. has 50ml (wtf?), 90ml (still far too low for EJ and 500ml ( even as a big EJ a hell lot!). My 500ml flasks show the same thing for the last 30% 😥

Statement regarding the quality of current butterfly shoes by wearing the old energy force shoes that were produced by ASICS? 😅

The other way around

Even new w968 has very high catapult on hard shots ( even though it’s lower than old w968). I overshot a lot of hard FH, which is my deadliest shot, so I switched blades again

But „alternative“ in this context means „clone“ or „as close as possible“. A Vega X might be a good rubber, but is nowhere close to a dignics. It is much softer and has more catapult. It’s more like an alternative to Tenergy than to Dignics. This does not mean, that it wouldn’t be a better...

Kreanga played t05fx back before dignics. Now he uses d64. He however definitely is not a role model. He never overcame the need for soft sponges after the speed glue ban. Even though his backhand rips behind the table was amazing, he was an exception with the soft sponge.

Depends on what you call controllable… High curve and good speed to make topspins easier? 05 Least spin sensitive, but quickest? 64 Something in between? 80 Highest curve, easy short game but lacking power? 25 Easier to activate, but also harder to play short game? Respective fx versions...

Cca unlimited has Limba top ply, mk has Koto…

the general conclusion, that c48 is slower than r48 is true, but it’s not only because its (very slightly) tacky surface. The main difference is the pimple structure and the used topsheet material, that makes c48 a lot slower, a little harder feel and much higher throw. Both rubbers are made...

Since Carbonado 45, zx gear out and lgy alc are totally different blades, I would welcome some more sophisticated reviews 😂

Anybody tried the gyo en in the meantime?
