I mean that a faster BH rubber may be a better match for the style of blade (it seems to be considered a more FH focused blade)

Hi all I am considering some changes to my setup on both blade and rubber (both or either) and am looking for any thoughts or insight from those with more experience than I have. By way of context, I am a fairly recently returned player - I played to a good standard previously and have solid...

I love TT for a few reasons; 1. The speed of the game and the multiple ways of playing it 2. The aesthetic of the game when played well 3. The ability to EJ! 4. I love the competition and that match play allows me to engage with others in this way - when I have no competition in my life I...

That's really interesting - so you found Neo Provinvcial BS to be much faster than OS pro? What sponge hardness were you/are you using?

I agree with Tango - I have had great success with H3 Neo commercial and Haifu booster - in fact I found it better than H3 Pro (non Neo) with booster. I have also got a sheet of Neo Pro blue sponge to try next - will also apply 3-4 booster layers. For me, even the Neo is still way too slow and...

Very interesting - I hadn't heard of these, will certainly explore. Thanks.

Well that would be the equivalent of me wearing my glasses to play as I’m nearsighted.

Thanks, I guess that’s the way I have been leaning.

Ok, so pretty different from me - I pretty much wear them for driving, TV and meetings with a screen presentation and all other times I don’t.

I think that’s about where I am - I can make it work either way, but as I put more time into becoming a better player I want to make sure that I choose the best option. Glasses will take a little adjustment as the lack of clarity up close throws me a little and there’s also the sweat/slip issue...

Hey Duke, so you are nearsighted but get on well with glasses? Interestingly I also have an astigmatism so that doesn’t help.

Thanks - that makes sense and I think I need to try again with glasses on and take the time to adjust (it just felt weird last time)

Hi all I am looking for some thoughts from others with a similar challenge. I wear glasses for long vision, so typically to watch TV or drive my car - anything over about 4-5 ft away is clearer with my glasses on. For reading and computer work I don't require them and in fact my sight is...

I am intrigued to know more about your changes and choices of blade and rubber - I have a Long 5X on order (not got it yet) but also found a used Acoustic to try. Right now I play H3 boosted on an H301x blade and am looking to see how these three compare and which rubbers work best. How did you...

Well, I managed to get hold of a lightly used sheet of M1 Pro so hope to be able to report back next week after I have tried it on BH.

Thanks, I agree that Rakza 9 is pretty lively - 7 may have been a better choice in hindsight

Yeah, that's what's worrying me - more rubber to try... I have asked him about the blade but more sure I am ready to buy another blade just yet ;-)

That's really helpful - and lines up with my thinking about the hardness not adding up. These rubbers last night felt softish and high dwell which allowed me to build a more confident stroke on BH in particular (I don't struggle with my FH as much) It certainly makes sense that it's a top sheet...

Thanks for the insight Gozo. Can I ask - how does the BF compare to the Rakza 7, and would you consider BF on your BH too?

So last night I was having my weekly lesson with my coach, when he asked me to try his bat.. It was a Donic all-round blade (not sure of the model but have asked him) with Bluefire M1 pro turbo on both sides. My bat is a 301x with H3 pro on FH and Rakza 9 on BH. What was interesting was the the...
