You're right, but we know why it is as it is. Honestly, it doesn't even put me off. I don't consider these ratings. Either I try the rubber on someone else's blade or I get enough probability from AnatomicEdge, TTD or other forums, and buy. I do make mistakes, e.g. the Z52.5 went off the blade...

Fwiw, I've tried the Xiom Omega 7 China Guang (O7CG) yesterday shortly. The sponge looks visually pretty similar to the C55, hard to see diffs. without magnifier, so the O7CG sponge is also rather dense, either equally or almost as dense as the C55 sponge. It was on friend's blade, the Meister...

Sorry for waking this up... @zeio, any material about pimple structure and its influence of the playing properties? I could write about my experience, but I'd rather read something "objective" ;-) TIA...

75g with 4 very thin layers of glue, 54g cut to my blade (159x150, the miracle from Sergio), the 2.1 thickness. (I did a bad job, had to remove). It is not suitable for both sides, imo, but that will depend obviously on the player's preference. The sponge has typical chinese dense sponge...

Some people say that to become expert at just about anything, you simply need to put in cca 10'000 hours. That is what really matters and other things are less important... So, year has 365 days ~ 52 weeks, lets say I play 3 days in a week (which is not always the case), this makes 156 days...

I play with STN now, I think about almost 3 months, boosted with 1 layer, after 2 months re-boosted with 2 very thin layers. Actually I'm glad I tried it, but I think I won't stay with it. The Rxton 9 top-sheet is a bit nicer for me, a bit softer and more elastic. And the sponge of the STN is...

I think there is a small misunderstanding, because we speak about two different "straightening the arm". If I had to illustrate the point I was trying to convey from another perspective, I'd say that the back-swing ideally should not follow the same path as the forward swing, but take another...

Very curious about your evaluation... P.S. We should have sub-threads... This really feels as a sub-thread/chain response...

Yes, that's it... and also total "unsurmountable" ;-) difference to hybrids, for ages, and the eternity... Edit: I'm not really serious, sorry ;-) Let me explain... Like you, I felt in love to the response from the dense sponge. But as you know, it's double edged sword, it really only works...

That's good, there are indeed nice places here, e.g. this year's TT-forum meeting was in town called Polička, which has beautiful old-town centre, and the beer from Polička's brewery is absolutely excellent... Also here, I'm sure you'd enjoy it... The clubs usually have dedicated venues, but...

If you decide to visit Czech Republic, I'd be happy to host you in my area. The thing is, my area is in Morava, the eastern part of CR, and in there, in the east ;-)), cca 300km to the east from Prague, our capitol. In here I'd be able to prepare a friendly match in our club, and second one in...

When doing Falkenberg, the 4 shot variant with 1 BH, when I don't step around properly - when I don't make enough space to hit properly, not only is the shot weaker, but also the balance and recovery is signif. slower and clumsier, and harder to get to the next hit - wide FH. Similarly with the...

This is a nice slow-mo, I like it. It is not that easy to comment on it, as you can see so far... But you can always try to compare yourself with someone better. E.g. here is a video where ZJK trains a guy... There is couple of points, which also someone told me, so I'm repeating. First is that...

It's bitter cup to drink... He improved so much in last 1-2 years (at least so I think) and now this... EDIT: But, from the other side... The bitter the cup, the bigger the motivation ;-)

I agree with that... It's just that people who don't (like) boost could say, if you need easier hit through the rubber, just get the rubber with 1-2 degrees less hardness... So I'd add the tension to the equation... Tension just makes it so much nicer in all active shots (both slow and fast)...

Reallyyyy? ... first, ask questions later ;-)

With all due respect, for balance reasons, you yourself should criticise "your side" for once. You yourself repeatedly come up with critique (direct or indirect) of Russia and China. But I think, if it so happens, that you identify with some "side", and want to criticise, you should criticise...

These are all OK. Also e.g. Donic Persson Powerplay is similarly good. Many options, e.g. from Yasaka: R7 on FH, R7 soft on BH, or from Xiom: Vega Pro or X on FH, Vega Europe on BH. But I'd suggest Nittaku FastArc G1 on FH and FastArc C1 on BH. These are a bit slower than the above mentioned...

Tony, you're a respected couch but the way you act to zeio is childish. He's doing his thing and you are only attacking him. You'll always be the second one in such interactions. Don't you see? I suggest you do your thing and be the first again. You're better than that. Cheers.
