i would throw in the nittaku genextion if you want an upgrade in speed and spin to the G-1 and still have a rubber that is quite easy to play.

I was only talking about forehand. I have the v22 de on another blade already, but that has more speed and lower throw as well. I will stick to the Genextion for a month at least. I already played it for a few weeks a few month ago, but then the EJ bug bit me :p You can compare these victas...

got some anecdotal evidence here: So i was playing with the victas v>20 extra which was very controlled, spinny enough but the low throw and low endspeed made my game more secure but less powerful. while playing with this setup the added control had these effect: Player A is a lefty playing...

V20 extra is having the same grippy top sheet like the V20 double extra, so that is good. Compared to the V15 it does have a lower throw that one needs to get accustomed to. V20 is slower than V15, but offers more spin

My experience with bty lezolines vs mizuno was that I have an 2 year old pair of Wave drive medal 6 which show no signs of wear while I had to replace the butterfly shoes already after nearly a year. They simply had more than 3 place where the stitching Tore or the glue of the Outer Sole was...

The 301Z is the slowest with the deepest hold on Topspin. It is still faster than many 5 ply all wood blades of course. If you need even more speed, you will need to go innerforce

ZL Pro seems really controlled and playing this with a chinese rubber would be to demanding for me. It is nothing close to the HAL, but rather a way more controlled racket.

since it is on sale on tt11 i bought the ZL Pro and had them add the new Victas V20 Extra (which is also on discount) to it. It's gonna arrive tomorrow and i am looking forward to test it.

the handle is thicker and i think you will like it.

Seeing videos of different nations amateurs I come to the conclusion that the general style of amateur play does vary very much from country to country. While many countries have amateurs basically only do drives and long balls, in Germany it is very different. Here up to about 1400 TTR you will...

After a session of mainly Matchplay with the H301z + H39 Battle 3 I am a bit disappointed. Short game is magnificent, looping from half distance is also pretty good, but that's it. I did not find the courage to loop close table with it and resorted to win games by serve receive and short game...

Rakza Z is more easy to play and as durable.

I just glued the H39 version on the DHS H301Z and it is worlds apart from the old one. This one can easily lift the ball

tbh, your assessment of the rubber is pretty much the opposite of Dario Grds review. He says that the rubber is good for looping and spinning and rather average for smashes and blocks.

The ZL Pro is indeed interesting. TT gearlabs deems it to be a "deep hold" blade, but since the DHS 301Z that i just bought i to be similarily "deep holding" i will stay away from it .... for a few month at least.

If you can lift a ball with it, i would call it sticky enough. Perhaps your experience differs from the others in the thread. Tomorrow my DHS 301Z will be delivered with a 39 and 40 degree version of Battle 3. I will try the 39° version first and see if it is more sticky than the old 38° version...

that is comparing two different worlds. It will be way easier, since the hardness of G09c is much higher than Battle 3's sponge.

Another session later and even though it was quite warm, there was not too much humidity and the rubber behaved like on the first day I tried it. Still not sticky but at least playable with a good range of rotation/speed combinations. I can only imagine how the sticky versions of this rubber...

I did buy this rubber perhaps 4 or more month ago and let it sit in the drawer unopened. When I glued it on and removed the protection foliage I instantly tested if it was sticky and it simply was not. So I would discard the possibility that I cleaned it wrong and removed the stickiness that...

Both Rakza Z's are more easily accessible than Glazer 09c. Both offer more topend speed. Rakza Z is very easy to play with lack of power of you play away from the table. If you play away from the table and have good arm acceleration then get the extra hard Rakza Z.
