  1. Stiga DNA Hybrid XH

    I have put the Stiga DNA Hybrid H on my second blade but was not able to do more with it than bounce a ball on it and compare it with the Hybrid M. The H is indeed harder in feeling, but what is best is that the short game probably is much easier with this one. The Hybrid M is already more...
  2. Stiga DNA Hybrid XH

    Then it is really simple. Do you want a very high throw, take the hybrid mk. If you want even more control in the short game plus medium high throw then take the stiga hybrid m
  3. Stiga DNA Hybrid XH

    I can only speak for the M variant, which I believe to be on one level with G-1, Hybrid MK and the like
  4. Stiga DNA Hybrid XH

    Good to know that the rubber still holds up. The Stiga DNA Hybrid rubbers seem to not only differ in sponge hardness, but also in pimple geometry. At least this is what it looks like to me Top is Hybrid M, below Hybrid H and on the bottom Hybrid XH.
  5. Setup Questions

    let's not argue about the usage of my words. It was only when i was asked to explain the grip column further, when i used the word "sticky" and i think it describes what most non-native english speakers would understand if you showed them the test. It tests how much the weight sticks on the...
  6. Setup Questions

    A few thoughts: The sheet was assembled with the data of a japanese youtube channel that would measure these things. Since this includes very old rubber tests it might be possible that the easurement method evolved and tenergy05 results are skewed a little. The grip column does not say anything...
  7. Setup Questions

    The first three columns are weight with packaging, without Packaging and cut to a Standard size. Then follows sponge thickness, total thickness, topsheet thickness, shore a measurement(hardness), grip, low end catapult, short o hardness(which I believe is just calculated from the shore a...
  8. Setup Questions

    Feeling is of course something subjective. Nobody can now what you do feel when you flick a ball, but if the goal is to be able to use your current technique and power level over the table without overshooting that often, then i think you might do better with something that is noticeably slower...
  9. Setup Questions

    I think it is preposterous to advise somebody who has trouble with his backhand to play a pretty hard to play rubber on that very side. The D05 is used by professionals because they got the technique and footwork to make it work, but it is by far not the best rubber to develop anything with...
  10. Rubber for chinese loop technique

    I wonder why nobody challenged the assumption that you use the Chinese looping technique, when you actually played the fastarc g-1, which is by no means comparable with Chinese rubbers or the technique necessary to employ it.
  11. Nittaku Z2 or G1

    anatomic edge's measurements of the Z2 are very different and show this not to be a very controlled rubber for the short game. With a bounce of 28cm it is way bouncier than many other more controlled robbers. For comparision bounce of the ball when it gets hit from 60cm free fall (so there is...
  12. Define MAX for me please

    that does make sense... 2.1mm sponge plus around 1.7mm top sheet will come out as 3.8mm overall thickness which is inside the 4.0mm allowed. Given manufacturing tolerances this is a sound margin for error to still stay inside 4.0 mm even if the sponge is a little thicker than defined
  13. Tibhar Hybrid MK PRO

    The description on the box does differ slightly though.
  14. Tibhar Hybrid MK PRO

    Universaly faster than Glayzer 09c. Faster in short game than Rakza Z, equally powerful or even stronger in active strokes than Rakza z.
  15. Tibhar Hybrid MK PRO

    Archos, you are correct in the assumption. Unfortunately for me the short game is the same between the regular MK Hybrid and the pro version. I would have liked it too be more slow/non-creative due to it's harder sponge, but that is not the case. This might go down well for most players that do...
  16. had an interesting practise match today

    It would be interesting to see a video of the situation. If I loop the opportunity usually struggles to smash it. Either it goes to the net because it is too fast for the opponent to deliver a correct stroke or it flies well over the table due to the topspin catapulting the ball upwards. There...
  17. Opinions on Prott for expensive blade purchases.

    Let me put it this way: whatever. You tell the shop to write down as value of the package will lead to your import tax. You could theoretically order a 1000€ w968 national and tell them to set the value to 100$, so that you only pay 20$ tax. Just contact them via WhatsApp and ask them if they...
  18. Tibhar Hybrid MK PRO

    To my knowledge the registration number on the topsheet is unique per topsheet and it seems to be the same. The only visual difference I could notice is the colour of the sponge. Left is hybrid mk pro and the right side is the regular one.
  19. Tibhar Hybrid MK PRO

    perhaps this is just a master stroke by tibhar which enables them to live with a less good quality control. The Tibhar MK Hybrid rubbers that come out of ESN with a too high hardness can be relabelled as MK hybrid pro (since both rubbers look alike and only the wrapping is different if i did not...
  20. Tibhar Hybrid MK PRO

    My very first early impressions are that non-pro and pro play similarly in the short game which is sad but something that you can also see with other tibhar rubbers. The change of power and potential seems to be only noticeable on more active strokes and not the short game. I will evaluate it...
