I did not try the purple sponge. Red sponge was tested only for 2 minutes, 6 months before Battle 3, so I can't answer.

Bloom Power was too stiff for me. And from my measurement, it's 5 to 6° harder than my different Arthur China, so it's not surprising to feel that. And then, I can't find it boucy. BUT, I ordered another one, with a purple sponge, which surprised me since the first one had a red sponge. I need...

With spin, you'll lose your control, so less decent chopping. There is not equipment that has only benefits and no cons. Anyway, if you want more speed, use the same rubber but with thicker sponge. Rakza Z is supposed to be pretty fast, no?

I edited my post, I wrote FH instead of BH and added the ones I tried yesterday. I'm still waiting for Mantra Pro M, Target National Medium and soft, and I'll try Codexx that I already have.

Friend 2 was already 2400 before having a golden vis. Friend 1 rating history is not available. So finally, there is no correlation between ranking and Golden Vis for any of you example. That's even more ridiculous than I thought in the first place.

Friend 3 went back 100 points lower. Did he break his golden vis?

I tested H9 Purple tonight for 10 minutes in a specific drill (BH loops on backspin balls), on a Stuor Long V. It was very nice to play with, more than H3N OS 37º. I did not try enough strokes, so I'll give a more relevant opinion later. I like the feeling on semi flat drives, and the sound...

Tonight I tested Telson 100 47,5º on my Yinhe Pro 05, on the BH. Arc on short strokes is lower than Rxton 7. This made me do some net errors from time to time, trying to slap the ball, or when looping slowly returning serves. On that aspects, I prefer Rxton 7. His greatest quality is it's...

LAS is Arthur Asia. I use yellow normal seamon.

I'm not sure yet. I played with Stuor Long V, LAC on FH and Gewo Nexxus 38º on BH. And I was very satisfied with it. I've been trying Yinhe 05 for the last 4 weeks, with LAC on FH but I'm unsure about the BH. I tested LAC, Big Dipper and Jupiter 3 on the FH and liked them, and Battle 3 & Bloom...

Maybe it's not the blade that feels different. We are different players, with different skills, different touch, so maybe we don't judge the equipment in the same way. I'm not that good. There's still 4 or 5% of French players that are better than me. I'm not at a level where I need the extra...

From the thinnest to the thickest : Fang Bo B2, Stuor (all of their seems to have the same shape, except the Zhang Jike clone), Yinhe.

Stuor Long V is not slower than Yinhe 05 (in my opinion, again; someone could think otherwise). I think that Fang Bo is slower than Yinhe 05, but the difference could come from the rubbers (they're the same, but there could be a difference of hardness), or from the fact that we're not good...

See, you should not trust anyone's advice, this is purely subjective. I find it slow, he finds it fast. According to the frequency rule, it should be slower. Try, make your own opinion.

For 40€, you have nice Stuor Inner ALC Blade, and even a clone of Harimoto inner ZLC. Given the frequencies, they should be slower than Ovtcharov ALC (even if frequency is not the only parameter). With 10€ more, you should try Yinhe 05.

Stuor Long V have a lot of control. You should get good control from Sanwei CC too, and it's only 9€/10$. DHS Fang Bo B2 is the slowest inner I have but it's also the most expensive.

I tested none of those other rubbers, so I would not dare answer your 1st question. For the booster, I guess it depends on your level. I don't need to boost it, since my BH is skilled enough 😁

Gewo Codexx is available from 33€ on AliExpress ...

Reliable, I got many things from them, like all my Arthur China rubbers.

Rxton 7 37º has been designed to be a soft Chinese rubber. And my tests would say it succeeded in the task.
