Have you tried the P1 in ox?

Right now I'm using ZJKALC, H3 and D64. Lind is not a slow blade per se but it is not as crisp or as direct as an outer ALC for sure. I could switch between ZJKALC and A Lind without too many problems though

Double day? I think i remember reading that they are manufactured by a plant that used to make Butterfly blades. I've heard nothing but good things about the quality and performance, but there is not a lot of info on English about their products

Man, Meteor 8512 is a deep cut. This, Tulpe 911 and the Xiying 979 all seem to be mostly forgotten rubbers at this point. Anyone remember CTT National Pogo?

Its basically the same. But comparing mine to a TCI side by side the fiber layer looks very different. Dunno exactly how the characteristics of TCI stack up vs A Lind though, but the fiber of TCI makes it seem that there is more contrast between the black and white fibers, whereas with the A...

Its not very bouncy like an outer alc in the short game, not bad in this area. Blocking is alright but not quite as crisp and responsive as outer, more straightforward than inner limba construction. I think the trajectory is more or less comparable to a more flexible Viscaria structure, but...

Nittaku Turbo Hurricanes aren't hybrids, they are essentially just Hurricane 3 topsheets with really hard Japanese style sponges as opposed to the solid Chinese style sponges. So there is a bit more speed vs unboosted Hurricane but there is not quite as much support for hard hits

New Era was a series of rubber made by a Chinese company but licensed by Yasaka. Same as Zap if anyone else remembers

Blue sponge has a softer feeling but its less bouncy. Orange has a crisper feeling and is a bit bouncier. Blue creates a lower arc on hard shots but it also requires you to hit harder to hit through the rubber The difference between quality grades is that commercial can be pretty inconsistent...

We can talk as much as we like, but if you've got the gear in your hand and it plays well, who's to argue with that?

I've only used them on friends rackets but the Turbo Orange is at least lighter than 55g cut to standard shakehand headsize. Turbo Blue immediately raises the weight in comparison

You'd be more comfortable using Turbo Orange. Turbo Blue is incredibly hard and difficult to play with, even more demanding than regular 41 H3 imo. Its the heaviest rubber I've ever seen

Who is this man and what have they done with Chen Qi 😂

Not often but the guys who only want to warm up at mid distance because don't know how to warm up at the table with compact strokes

D09C is "fast" compared to hard and sticky Chinese style rubber like Hurricane. In terms of Japanese/European style rubbers it is not really all that fast. The good part about D09C is that it strikes a really good balance between the lively/bouncy behavior of Euro/Jp rubbers and tacky/dead...

Aurus Soft, its a medium hardness rubber but its firmer and steadier than Vega Euro (42.5 for VE and 45 for Aurus Soft)

Super anti is a classic style antispin, meaning it has a bit of usable grip and a relatively normal (if soft and slow) sponge. I think you will find a modern style frictionless antispin to be a hoot. Classic style antis are generally only good for killing spin when you're blocking passively but...

Some frictionless style (modern) antis are more absorbent or more slick than others. Though the general rule of thumb is that the slower an anti is, the more it will tend to react to spin. The ones that have the most absorbing effect will often have a really thick sponge, for the most cushion...

Seems interesting. Visually the SP structure looks a little similar to 802-40

Donic Coppa JO series are pretty fast, faster than the Nexxus 43 for sure. What you're probably experiencing is finding out that you lack good fundamentals to support shot making ability when using slower stuff that requires more physical activity. I'd keep using the Gewo combo and start...
