I see... Yes, it can be... I just happened to have all Rxton 9s basically exactly same, I think cca 5 pieces of H40,5 and 1 piece of H39... None of them was bad. Perhaps it's because I took them from the same aliexpress-shop. And actually D09C (I had only 1, black) has harder top-sheet than all...

Nicely and peacefully musing about it ;-)

Such a pitty you haven't been with me for the TUG2025 conference in Trivandrum. You'd learn the true Indian hospitality. You'd enjoy the fantastic food, you'd enjoy the conference, even when it is not your real focus - same is true for me, but you'd still enjoy it, get your head elsewhere, new...

I think part of the confusion is that the term "H3" is simply too imprecise. When we say Xuperman-X, Rxton 9, DFVP, Battle 2 (well, B2 is also not precise enough) it is pretty specific already... Anyway, cca 3 weeks ago I finished my Xuperman-X rubber. I quite liked it, esp. initially (as...

Criticizing individuals for using boosters, while not criticizing companies for doing the same... That's is hard to grasp for me. I think we can rule out dishonesty, he seems honest to me. So what remains is blindness, and that, put blindly ;-) is stupidity.

Thanks a lot. It was a nice and intensive visit. Work before the TUG conference, then the conference itself, meeting a lot of people, and then some meetings/work afterwards, altogether 11 days + travel. We did visit Kovalam beach, beautiful, in a nice hotel above it. I/we have been there already...

FZD feels very good, good energy, or so it seems to me... Or perhaps I'm seeing/making things up ;-)

You can't betray your own ideals!!! Where's the hulk smashing? What about your own NAME???

The simple way to make it impossible to take it too early is to step back a bit after serve, or after hit. You need that anyway... Then maintain the movement after each hit, you need to move slightly, even if you don't change position... That would be the "physicalist" solution. Regarding fear...

+1 for Yinhe Mercury 2. You can take e.g. red soft and black medium, each for cca 6EUR, on Aliexpress, e.g. Playa PP store... Cheers.

Thinking during the rally doesn't work, at least for me. And most often, any form of explicit thinking, like a clear idea that comes into the mind, like, "oh, now I have more time, I'll put more power and go cross-court" usually leads to miss-hit. Miss-hit a ball which you easily normally play...

I think that is not always true. E.g. my training partner has H3 nat BS H39, and the top-sheet is actually softer than my X P-X top-sheet. Also my Rxton 9 rubbers have slightly softer top-sheet than X P-X. That said, I like all 3 very much. Cheers.

I just found my earlier post: The Xuperman is only 1g cut heavier than DFVP, so both are a bit heavier than e.g. H3 BS. It was DFVP H40, and Xuperman was stretched (due to boosting) and overlap cut, but actually so was DFVP, so the diff. will not be dramatic I think. I like Xuperman more than...

Imo, all these need a bit of booster. The dense ("no" bubble) sponge is better with it (I use only 1 layer). The X P-X is not very light, but still not as heavy as Nittaku H3PTB. But normal H3 is lighter, if you need it... My setup is now 200g, blade is 91,5g now (it was 93g but needed repair)...

I know, it's more of a suggestion of what you can experiment with. E.g. some Japan or Korean players are also not very tall. You'll find the balance in time... Understand... I mean I disagree, because I like R9 more than these, but understand ;-)

You like DFVP on the FH, you'll like X P-X even more. Btw. what's your opinion on Rxton 9 40,5 for FH? And, a bit unrelated, but when I'm at it - in one of your recent videos, when you FH loop, one issue - well, imo - is that at the point of contact your right leg is completely stretched. You...

Vega Pro on the BH is a good choice, imo. After you're done with it, try Glayzer. For me, the best BH rubber so far. Cheers.

Hijacking the thread, a bit intentionally, when I see the fighting ;-) I'm visiting Trivandrum during 12.7. - 24.7., for the TUG2025 conference. Would love to visit some TT club there and have a hit, if possible. If you are from the area, and are interested, send me a PM. India is the future!

Well, when the rubber finally reaches that state, the owner is nearing nirvana, and keeps very very silent!
