G1 is considered to be one of the most durable, high performing ESN rubbers there is. And do note that:
1. People take care of their rubbers differently
2. Visible signs of wear on the top sheet is normal and does not automatically mean that the rubber is worn out. Especially on non-sticky ESN...
After boosting a rubber and waiting for it to straight out, do you glue the rubber while curled or do you wait until it has flattened? Does it even matter?
DHS/Yinhe blades on Aliexpress can have very large variations in weight. You might find a seller that is cooperative and will help you find your desired weight, but a lot of them will just send you a random one. Going through TT11 and paying the premium for the service, you will be more secure...
What hardness and thickness would you choose for TG2 Neo for YEO? I've bought a bottle of FTL, planning to boost it. Also, doesn't the Skyline rubbers come in commercial, provincial and national gradings? They're all the same quality?
What hardness would you recommend for an intermediate? Currently using J3A 38 on a Timber 5 Off (fast and stiff 5-ply) which i feel is a good combo. I tried the J3A 39 on a YEO and it just felt dead to me..
No, not just the head, the entire laminate of the blade, including the part that's hidden by the handle pieces.
If we ignore the mass polar moment:
I have two 5 ply blades. Same model. One is 3 g more in weight and have 80-100 Hz higher frequency.
If I were to clamp both blades in a MASSIVE...
Lets do some assumptions then:
The blades are identical, but have different frequencies. The extra weight of the one sample with higher pitch is evenly distributed along the entire blade, the handles are identical.
Given that you have two samples of the same blade, X grams between them and a somewhat proportional difference in frequency as well, will the lighter of heavier one have the biggest sweet spot?
I know that in tennis and badminton, higher stringing weight means higher frequency, meaning more...
