This system is definitely cringe-worthy and hurts the sport.

They fit bigger. I usually get a size 29 and I will probably buy another pair to size down to a 28.5 and sell my 29's.

Sounds like the Assar with EL-P would be good then.

Works well and yes

The new Wave Drive 9's are much lighter than the others and more breathable too, they're my favorite TT shoes I've had so far. I didn't care much for the 8's and preferred the 6's and 7's. The Butterfly Lezoline Rifones were pretty good.

Thanks for translating Sergio! There you have it OP, you won't get a better answer.

Does chocolate rubber taste good?

Yep. I think R7 and Baracuda were already pretty special, but Tenergy has that extra sum' sumfin' that can also be too hard to control. The regular Tenergys are too much rubber for me.

It doesn't play better, they're just different. As to quantifying in percents, hmmm, we're not robots. I think my friend who has experience with different types of H3's described it best: "Orange sponge is bouncier and faster. Blue sponge is way more dense and as such there's more dwell and...

That's deep and poetic!

In theory yes, and if so only marginally. There are plenty hard materials out there that can still bend. Thickness and less wood plies is more obvious in terms of flexibility. Also, what you loose most with too light a blade is the almighty crispiness no amount of flex can make up for.

I definitely think it would.

Since when?

Korbel doesn't vibrate much, the Harimoto ALC also feels stiffer and faster and vibrates more.

That's a good blade too, a 7-ply on the thinner side.

It's actually a bit thicker than the Primorac, 5.7 vs. 5.5mm. Mizutani actually switched to FL in the last few years of his career.

The Japanese version of the Korbel has more touch. The nice thing about the Korbel is that it’s a 5-ply all-wood blade that still packs a punch. G-1 and R7 are solid offensive rubbers that can produce good spin and speed while remaining stable and more controllable than MX-P and the likes...

Yea, too many injuries in soccer, had to call it quits after my early 30’s.

I thought the V>22 was nice but not very dynamic compared to the Z2, I could generate more spin and speed with the Z2. I’ll have to try my sheet of V>22 again.

If you can wait until April, the new Butterfly Mizutani Major should be perfect for what you’re looking for: https://www.butterfly.co.jp/products/detail/37281.html
