  1. fixing the bad habit of straightening the upper body during looping

    Agreed. Disagreed ;-) Edit: He's a bit older, and I play to one place at his BH (if it goes well). He doesn't really need to move much. Has great hand. Hard to beat when we count ;-)
  2. fixing the bad habit of straightening the upper body during looping

    I like to train "BH/FH" to a good blocker who give balls to the BH and then to the FH, regularly first, and at the end randomly (I always to his BH). There is not much time (which is also a point), and sometimes I don't have time to properly put weight on the right foot, to take energy back from...
  3. Recommended BH rubbers for an inner carbon blade

    E.g. Rakza X (cca 47-48) or Xiom Vega Pro (cca 46-47). The Vega X (cca 47-48) has a bit firmer top-sheet than those two, but still more pleasant than G-1 on the BH for me.
  4. Sanwei target national new version

    My thoughts exactly... If I put "smiley" on that post innapropriately, because I thought it is a lie, I apologize...
  5. Tensorlike rubbers on innercarbon blades

    ;-) My main setup is 191g, 89g naked, the Viscaria setup is 194g, 88g naked. It feels OK, I guess if the blade is say up to 93g I could live with it, I don't plan to get NH3PTB anytime soon ;-) But @Attitude 's weights surprise me, the rubbers should not be so heavy. How are the naked weights...

  7. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    I put 2 layers on rubber and 2 on blade. This is because it is easier to remove the glue, if there is more of it... If there is factory glue on the rubber, then just 1 on top of it... You'll find your way in no time...
  8. Xiom new collection (2024)

    Hey @longle, any chance you can compare it with Vega Pro or/and Vega X?
  9. I got sucked into the Butterfly hype

    G1/C1 on the FH/BH imho is a good combination (I've made it for my friend a year ago), from which you can always upgrade... In other threads I've said I prefer other rubber than G1/C1, that holds, but they are definitely really very good rubbers... Rubbers hold only for a while... The 2nd law of...
  10. Thoughts on Vega X and Rakza XX

    Hey Michael, here some links to Anatomic Edge, which you probably know anyway... Vega X, btw. my exp. and measurement differ, it is/was not that hard... Rakza XX, didn't try yet, looks very good though (was afraid it will be harder) Rakza X Fastarc G-1

  12. What would or could happen when I downgrade rubbers for a period of time?

    I'd consider harder, and perhaps slower (chinese or hybrid), rubber on the FH...
  13. Tensorlike rubbers on innercarbon blades

    I've put together some weights: Viscaria 88g, 1450 Hz (not sure here), DFVP H40, Yinhe Big Dipper H38 => 192g (with some 1-2mm overlap over soft-edge tape) Vodak Horejsi ALC 89g, 1290 Hz (not sure here), Rxton 9 H40.5, Vega X 2.0 => 189g (with some 1-2mm overlap over soft-edge tape) Vodak...
  14. Tensorlike rubbers on innercarbon blades

    Hey @Attitude , I kind of went through similar experience, I liked (I still like) the H3 H37 on the BH. You can open nicely, there is control, and I liked the feedback. Somehow I didn't particularly like the H8-80 H37 on the BH though. Anyway, as I said earlier, I got overpowered in exchanges...

  16. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Glued right now on XVT Hinoki Carbon, will test in the evening. The B2 national BS is still on Horejsi APC, but the rubber is used a lot. Imo, the diff. won't be big, will see.
  17. Upgrading my Nittaku Fastarc G1.

    Rakza X felt better for me on the BH. So did Vega X (which I can get at good price), both faster, grippier (perhaps a bit softer top-sheet, while similar sponge hardness (BH openings felt better in compare to G1)). Rakza 9 is even faster (too fast for me). Durability of RX and Vega X is pretty...

  19. Is glue supposed to be thick like yogurt?

    Hey @JJ Ng, the Revo 3 comes in 3 viscosities - the high viscosity (thickest) is the right one... But good to hear your opinion on Free Chack Pro II anyway...
  20. Are double fish rubbers any good?

    Hey Igor, happy you didn't complain about that B3 ;-) Regarding tackiness, the DFVP is really less tacky than Rxton 9. I'll see how it evolves this time. Well, if I force myself to play with it. The thing is, the DFVP H40, while having similar sponge hardness as Rxton 9 H40.5, its top-sheet is...
