  1. Picked up my paddle after 12 years… and now there’s dignics!?

    I would still recommend you the Fastarc G1. It's not as fast as Dignics and Tenergy, but has a lot of control and good spin, as well as incredible durability. It's kind of a Mark 5 in the present tense.

  3. MS homemade blades

    95 grams is very heavy. Have you tried making cavities in the handle? This can lighten the blade by a few grams
  4. Choosing new equipment

    I agree, if Rxton1 is treated with a booster. Without a booster it's dead.
  5. DHS Gold Arc 8 vs. Fastarc G1 vs. Rakza 7?

    It seems to me that this is some kind of sponge feature of this rubber. But in any case, topsheet does not have durability comparable to G1, so for me the choice of G1 is obvious.
  6. Choosing new equipment

    Dolphin also dries quickly, especially on the sponge; on the blade it dries a little slower, but with skill you can stick the rubber on. If you have a choice between Jupiter and Big Dipper on the backhand, then I think Big Dipper will be better. Personally, chinese rubbers don’t work for me on...
  7. DHS Gold Arc 8 vs. Fastarc G1 vs. Rakza 7?

    I am now analyzing this situation and have come to the conclusion that it may be related to the glue. The fact is that I glued all my Gold Arc 8 rubbers with rubber glue with an organic solvent. A friend of mine has old Gold Arc 8s that were not as hard as mine and he glued them with water-based...
  8. Does a slower blade with a Viscaria-like feeling exist?

    Yes, I played with this blade myself. I bought it for a friend and we can exchange rackets with him to try it out. I found it to be softer and a little slower than the original. The vibrations feel similar to the original Viscaria.
  9. What rubber is this?

    It is also necessary to treat the topshit with Vaseline oil. This works well for old dry rubber.
  10. changing equipment

    Two tips. First, look at yourself from the outside, which of the famous modern players are you most similar to in height and body structure, and look at what equipment this athlete plays with. You need to strive for the same, only taking into account your level and amount of training. Lower...
  11. Upgrading my Nittaku Fastarc G1.

    Backhand or forehand? For some reason, many people in our club prefer D80 instead of D05.
  12. Upgrading my Nittaku Fastarc G1.

    I had the same story at the beginning with G1. The first training session I was disappointed with this. At the same time, I took a friend’s racket with old G1s and couldn’t believe that they were the same rubber, how much better the old rubbers were. Regarding K3. I tried it on a friend’s racket...
  13. Tensorlike rubbers on innercarbon blades

    Just to the point! For me, the racket should be such that I am not afraid to hit hard and put my body weight into the shot. Excessively fast equipment hinders my movements, I have to constantly control the amplitude and force of the shot, as well as train a lot. At the same time, too slow...
  14. DHS Gold Arc 8 vs. Fastarc G1 vs. Rakza 7?

    I remember exactly that the speed R7 was higher than the rotation, unlike the G1, which has a balance of speed and rotation.
  15. Tensorlike rubbers on innercarbon blades

    I also play with an internally reinforced blade and tend to use longer strokes. Right now I like G1 on the backhand. What's good about G1 is that I don't think about my equipment on the backhand, I just play. Everything is in order - serves, short game, cutting, starting attack, blocks, exchange...

    This final was won by LJK, who has a stronger game on the backhand side
  17. 2024 WTT Champions Incheon 03.27-03.31 Korea

    I liked Simon Gauzy the most at this championship. A very beautiful and varied game from him. For a long time he was in the shadow of the Lebrun brothers, but now he is shining! Also, the opening of the championship is a young 17 year old Korean. I think he has a great future.
  18. 2024 WTT Champions Incheon 03.27-03.31 Korea

    Hugo beat Liang on the forehand, but it cost him so much effort. At the same time, quick points, which he mostly achieves with other players, did not work with Liang.
  19. Do Butterfly blades have hollow handles?

    Some blades Bt have a cavity and some do not. For example, the first Viscaria with an external ayus did not have a cavity in the handle. I know this because I myself removed the handles from it and did WRB to reduce weight and add control. This was even before the triumph of Zhang Jike with...
  20. DHS Gold Arc 8 vs. Fastarc G1 vs. Rakza 7?

    Gold Arc 8 is just a great rubber out of the box. That's more spin and speed than the G1. But after 2 months, this rubber becomes stiffer, faster and spins much less. This makes it difficult to control the game. I tried to restore the softness of the sponge with seamun, but the reaction to...
