Topsheet and sponge work really well for a long time but don't reglue it...

Battle 3. Feels more balanced than the B2 Provincials I tried (can't remember exactly which of the many versions). 729 Dragon F for a more hybrid like feeling, 729 Dragon L for a more normal, less hybrid feeling rubber with slight tackiness, 729 Visnatura for a grippy, Japanese feeling rubber...

Official DHS store https://dhsyundong.world.tmall.com/ CNY 1222 ~151€ ~USD 170 (this should but I'm not sure include 13% local VAT) H3 Provincial BS ~40€, H8-80 ~21€

HL5 is by far not the fastest blade see e.g. https://ttgearlab.com/2019/02/18/dhs-hurricane-long-5-3-overview-lab-test/ or https://ttgearlab.com/2023/06/05/butterfly-fan-zhendong-series-lab-test/ H3 is also not slow. Even not the older, tackier ones when brush looping.

Don't know what else to say but this describes the B3 perfectly well. Weight: 46 g cut, sponge feels harder than 38°. Maybe I got an older one without factory boosting Topsheet is more elastic than H3 or B2. B2 < H3 < B3 < Glayzer/Dignics 09C < Victas Triple Extra. Easier to use than B2 but...

Nice to see Zhu Yi playing.

I think external carbon like this one https://aliexpress.com/i/32847751846.html ... but one might need luck when arguing with an umpire if these blades are legal or not. https://documents.ittf.sport/sites/default/files/public/2023-06/2023_ITTF_Statutes_clean_version.pdf

Just wait a bit... will be comparing to my main setup (YEO, Nittaku H3N 39, H3 37, both boosted) and fun 1) setup (729 Blue Arylate, H3 39 provincial, H3 37, also both boosted) during the next few weeks. The B3 is a 38° one that's not really softer than my boosted H3 39 so I will try it...

I also tried so many tensor rubbers on my BH from Hexer Duro (first months after I got back to TT), Vega Pro, Vega Asia, FastArc G1/C1, BlueStorm Z2, V>11 to V>15 and what not but switched to H3 37 1) for the same reasons: better short game and opening loops/flicks to setup a point and more...

Come on. That exhibition match between Ding Ning and Persson where Ding Ning is wearing a stylish, short cocktail dress and clearly can't and isn't moving as well and fast as she did in normal matches at that time?

Of course we do and then we come up with small experiments like combining "natural" stuff (paraffinum liquidum, limonene/orange oil) 729 Dragon-F pieces boosted in I think February with paraffinum liquidum, limonene, both and an unboosted control. Limonene/orange oil works too but only for a...

https://faulttoleranttennis.com/gold-roll-your-racket-over-the-ball/ That's about tennis but I don't see why this should be different in TT. Some rough estimates: - racket speeds: easily over 10 m/s = 36 km/h ~ 22.4 mph - blade width = 0.15 m, "sweet spot" maybe 0.1 m Now counter loop close...
