so mx-p is spinny if receiving spin, but when you play that spinless guy i found it too hard to impose spin. this i can still do with tenergy 05fx maybe because the mx-p is less bouncy i can hack at it more on serves maybe my fh technique is just too lazy im not sure. vvk1 i think on the...

I just took the plunge and ordered a sheet of DNA Platinum S

low throw too hard not enough arc not as spinny as 05fx not as much kick off bounce as 05fx easier for opponent to counter liked; smashing serves touch shots think i am just too used to softer rubbers, however this is on a fextra which is pretty flat and stiff i reckon mx-p on a flexier blade...

Do Xiom make a softer spinny rubber comparable in speed and spin and arc to 05fx? In that tenergy 05fx, evolution FX-s class maybe the 40 to 45 degree class along the lines of the joola green power 365

Chewy how would you compare Victas v15 limber too Tenergy 05fx. I long for a Tenergy 05fx that is a bit less bouncy, but still pretty spinny.

HI so i have always just got 1.8 sp or mid pip as this just seemed to be in the middle. recently i tried a rosewood VII and a koto outer blade, but I found it made my pips a bit too bouncy for my personal preference. but i really liked the rosewood VII in general and it seemed decent on fh...

What the hell? Fextra is not already fast enough?

I tried this blade today at a tournament and I think its more for hitting than spinning! Its pretty stiff, very good on pimple hits, but I found it a little too stiff to really top spin well with. I think I get more fh topspin from the Fextra, it is better on blocking and driving though. Not...

BRS, did you find it hard to transition to carbon blade with you sp? I am guessing your carbon does not quite have the rigidity of the 7 ply wood you used before? Can I assume you switched to carbon to maintain the high levels of speed and spin on the fh, but more so the spin. Which generally...

What a shame the GOAT serves illegally. And the sport allows this. His first serve in the final went behind his head and thus was illegal. So like 99% of the rest of the professionals in the world, just for balance.

Even with a Sanwei Fextra and max Tenergy 05fx and a full swing my fh feels like treacle and mushy and slow in humid conditions. My friend uses a Drinkhall Carbon with 05 both sides and does not seem to suffer from the same problem. He tells me hard rubbers do not react as badly in humid...

Bear in mind I use mid pips, not short. They play quite differently. I hate Koto on fh, hated xiom solo on fh but loved it on bh I love limba blades and generally never liked carbon. I think Fextra is excellent in general and there is a good chance it is the correct blade for me. Rosewood...

Mine has finally arrived. First try last night was too humid, can't judge. Tried again today, feels sharper than Fextra, bit harder maybe but not stiffer. My practice partner said I was getting a lot of topspin on fh, but arc was fairly low. Blocks felt nuts. Pimple hits were very flat. I was...

No not yet, don't know anyone who has one?

What carbon blade would you use or recommend for short/mid pips and why? Bump!

I love Mima Ito. She is so emotional and expressive when she plays. She just can't hide her emotions. This is refreshing in a world where sports people are trained to be like robots. She is one of the most refreshing players in sport at the moment. I love the other 3 too, was a great game...

Currently using Sanwei Fextra and Tenergy 05fx and Spinlord Keiler bh. Now Fextra is amazing for Kieler, I think its fairly stiff but has a softish feel from the limba, excellent for blocking and hitting on bh with pips. Over my many different efforts with other blades of different types, I...

I don't like harder sponges unless Chinese rubber. The test will be whether I can get enough arc on loops in match play, and whether I can get enough spin. We will see

I have tried the MX-P twice now on Fextra. I think it arcs lower than 05fx on topspin's for the same stroke, however when I played a weaker opponent he struggled more to return and block my topspin's from MX-P than 05fx, same evening, same blade, same bh rubber, so reasonably scientific. After...

Lasta I feel like someone from England or Wales might see the post though! Can't risk it!
