Be careful with the blade's weight. If you are now using a light OC say with 80g and get a not so rare RW5 weighing over 90g the difference will be quite large. TTGearLab did some nice tests on many Stiga blades: https://ttgearlab.com/2018/01/23/stiga-arctic-wood-celero-wood-lab-test/ Speed: OC...

How is the throw angle compared to boosted H3? B2 provincial had a noticeably lower throw. Just one month and someone could do the ultimate comparison test: D09C vs G09C vs H3 vs H2 vs B3 vs B2. Btw: I couldn't resist and boosted my 729 Dragon-Fs with two layers of Seamoon. Still harder than...

Nope. YT "cheat": Pause video and then single step through the frames with , and . ;) Doesn't look like a V14 Pro handle or a Legacy Carbon (all black handle). Must be a blade with something shiny, golden on the handle like the ZJK ALC.

Both the Santoru and the ZX Gear have limba outer plies... Donic Skachkov Carbon, Donic (Baum) Esprit or Donic Original True Carbon. Tibhar Drinkhall Powerspin Carbon Andro SYNTELIAC ZCO OFF/S (this and the Calderano HAL are more expensive than a new Viscaria without discounts) Yinhe blades are...

I always thought that these were just different versions not different manufacturers.

They are still on the LARC Globe 999 https://equipment.ittf.com/#/equipment_preview/racket_coverings/2288 Globe 999T https://equipment.ittf.com/#/equipment_preview/racket_coverings/2289

I try to get my impressions on the Dragon-F right (we are currently in the second half of the season so I do not test or switch rubbers if I don't have to): Hardness is the easiest to answer: definitely harder than H8-80 37 and softer than H3 39. So 38° but maybe closer to 39° as far as my...

That should work if it contains the good old, non-health-preserving, substances as it did 30 years ago ;)

What the frak (Battlestar Galactica ;))... NZ$ 1 would be very cheap. Usually I pay 2€, 2.50€ sometimes 3€ for such a tube (around 3 to 5 NZ$)... worth every penny if you use one tube per H3 and can manage to glue it on your blade ;)

No bike shop nearby? Every bike shop over here sells that stuff from Rema ;)

Maybe a bad H3 batch issue then... I usually also boost with two layers of Seamoon and reboost once or twice with a single layer when I feel they/I need a reboost. Btw: what worked to get a shrunken BlueStorm Z2 back to the original size was Seamoon (not enough) + a lot of...

I usually don't care except when playing against anti or (long) pimples out players that I haven't played before... Some are notorious for using treated pimples, some not yet ;)

Premade inverted or good old hardbat? 11-5 Dima.

Did someone already mention Dianchi D and YoungShine Dingtian (I don't know if they smell bad or at all)? Maybe Gewo Codexx EL Pro 52 and EF 54 could also work at least on forehand (too hard for my backhand style) and at least not overprized. Ceterum censeo: There is no alternative to (boosted)...

I've used one bottle way longer than 4 months due to covid lockdowns...
