Really D80 not that much less spinny than D05 and it’s still a ton of spin while being very easy to play. I think D80 is for us amateurs while D05 is for the pros.
Use your D05, it’s such a fantastic rubber if your BH is excellent. If you feel your BH still needs some work like mine, then you can consider D80. But D05 is already fantastic it’s just I struggle with spin sensitivity so I don’t use it until I can adapt better with spin reading. But if such...
Top end speed ever so slightly D80 faster than D05. But full power D05 slightly faster but harder to activate. D05 also marginally more spin but again harder to activate. D80 is less spin sensitivity than D05
UPDATE: I switched to a Viscaria with H3N Blue on FH and D80 on BH. I’m playing better than ever before, my D80 can block well, top spin well, spin is very spinny even tho it’s “less spinny” than D05 it’s very marginal, and the spin sensitivity is not that high and I can touch short very well...
My vote is Omega 7 Pro. I’ve heard many good things about it. I considered buying a setup Xiom Cho Daeseong TMX Pro with H3 Neo Prov Blue Sponge on FH and O7P on BH (which is Cho’s actual setup), but ended up getting a Viscaria with H3NPB on FH and D80 on BH. Might get the Cho Daeseong setup...
Yeah I bought my Vis this year it’s a Y series blade. It’s not that stiff to my feeling and I think it is good for FH looping if only just marginally worse than my W968.
Best FH of all time is no question Ma Long. Should be common sense really
BH is a different story. Some say Kreanga, some say Ovtcharov, some say Franziska, some say Fan Zhendong, and now even Lin Shidong is worth a shout. I personally think FZD is best BH of all time but I think LSD will...
Hmm that’s interesting, I can play full arm full power Chinese style top spin with Vis and H3N Blue on my FH and still land the ball with deadly power and consistency and I can loop backspin pretty easily, way easier than W968 imo. But every player is different.
I currently use my Viscaria now. I had the same thing as you. I really love the Fh of my Prov W968 but it’s hard to activate power on my BH. The viscaria is a perfect balance between the two. and even tho the Fh is worse on Vis, I don’t have any problems controlling it. I’ve heard that the Q968...
He’s 19 now so he’s starting to run out of time to shine. He still hasn’t developed much consistency (which goes for almost all the players below LGY) and his style of play should get him places considering he literally plays so similar to WCQ. I just think this generation of young players are...
Thank you. I thought it might be a controversial tier list (prolly is), but glad that u also see the vision in WRB. He has so much potential to be a LJK role type player.
I used to back HYZ a lot, but he’s failing to live up to expectations. Badly too, after that loss against Walther
