Hi Latej! I've have tried Rakza Z and, to be honest, I didn't really like it. I can't really fault it in any way: it's got super spin, it's fast enough, and it's easy to control. All of its performance attributes are more than good enough - but I just didn't like the 'feel' of it. I even tried...

Many thanks for the quick feedback all - much appreciated! I've decided to give the Victas rubbers a try: V-15 Extra on the FH and Ventus Extra on the BH. I've ordered them already and will let you know what I think once I've had a decent go with them. I'm going to play them on my 'main'...

Rakza Z is tacky and doesn't smell. I haven't tried the Extra Hard version but I assume it's the same as the regular one in that regard.

Huh? Not sure what you mean by that.

It's about time for me to replace my Fastarc G1. I'm a big fan of the G1 and would be happy to get another but, every now and then, the EJ-bug bites and I get curious about alternatives! This is what I'm after: c. 47-48 degree sponge Low catapult (ie. linear) play Good grip and spin (ie. at...

H3 at 40-degrees is equivalent to ESN at approx. 53-degrees. See the conversion chart below. The complicating factor with TT11 (or anyone else) doing their own measurements is that, unless they separate the sponge and the rubber and measure the sponge hardness separately, they're not measuring...

I'm not sure FZD's winners can be overrated! That said, I 100% agree with you that his overall consistency and pressure does force opponents into (apparently) "unforced" errors.

Hugo does look a bit uncomfortable with close play at the moment but, to be fair to him, Harimoto really stepped up a level or two in that match. That was the best I've seen him play in a while and, if he's able to maintain that level for the final, he might even put some pressure on FZD.

I'm so enjoying seeing Quadri Aruna play so well! Even though he lost to Calderano it was a good game and he looked impressive. If Quadri could develop a consistent medium-pace / just-stay-in-the-rally backhand I reckon he'd probably be hovering around a world ranking of 10-15 consistently.

👍!! Overall I've experienced TTD as a friendly and welcoming community and I hope others do too - especially those with lots of questions!

I don't know the TSP rubbers, but I take the same view on the others: they're all (including the DNA series) in the top echelon.

Poor chap just asked if we thought a carbon blade might be too responsive and if Rakza 7 is known to be a high-throw rubber ...

Re the blades: It's not necessarily that carbon blades are more bouncy/powerful than all-wood blades. They often are, but it's not always the case and there are some very powerful all-wood blades around. I think the issue is that all-wood blades usually offer a greater sense of touch/feel that...

Just to be aware: A number of folks who love G-1 as a FH rubber are not the biggest fans of it as a BH rubber. I'm in that category. I've yet to play with a rubber that I think beats G-1 on the FH, but there are a number of others I prefer as BH rubbers. Some that come to mind are DNA Pro M...

Is Gold Arc 8 also a 'thin-topsheet' style rubber like Rasanter, Rhyzer, Nexxus, etc.? I thought, given that the max sponge thickness is 2.1mm (and not the 2.3mm that usually comes as an option with the 'thin-topsheet' rubbers), that it was a more traditional style rubber with a moderately...

I use the Vodak M Horejsi ALC EnTech which is, I think, the same construction as the Long V and I really like it with Fastarc G-1.

Fantastic FZD!

Wow - that ladies final was incredible! Congrats WMY!
