Our current Polish Cup winner Jakub Dyjas, in his last interview, said that he won't play with carbon, and he uses Clipper clone. (he won silver in juniors doubles 2016 Budapest) So I believe that even on the top level you don't need a carbon blade. It's mostly the skill that matters.

Dear MOG, in my career I've used blades that were like extension of my hand immediately and also used some blades that needed some adjustment. Some are easy some are hard. What was common is that in all of the cases I needed more than 10 hours to fully adjust (some times more). Based on that...

Playing in humid conditions is like living in a primordial jungle, you either adapt or die.

I don't want to be rude, but I think I've read that here a couple of dozen of times here.

Then give Xiom Vega China might be a good candidate. Just remember to give yourself an adjustment period if you haven't played with any rubber of this kind yet. It might be annoying at first. Any of those rubbers is garbage if you are not proficient in brushing. From what I read, Rakza Z might...

Then instead of reboosting after 3 months buy new sheet. There is no such thing as Chinese hard tacky rubber whose factory boosting lasts forever. You either: - content with hardness and feel of unboosted tacky rubber - boost a tacky rubber - buy factory boosted tacky rubber, which will last...

It's not that hard. Initially its rather easy after 2-3 months I would suggest reboosting it.

Vega Asia isn't tacky I think. Vega China is.

Agreed, different styles, different needs, different approaches. I don't agree with this statement. I see a lot of variance in terms of the playability of the balls. I can play any of those I tried without much grievance, but I can't agree that they are all the same.

I have Battle 2 prov on my fh currently. It really wants to be boosted. If you don't bother go for Xiom Vega China.

Don't get your mind too much boggled with that. I've use rubbers with sponge in thicknesses between 1.9 and 2.3. Ask your coach. I hadn't had issues with adapting to sponges in that range, and if you are coached you should be just fine. Understanding sponge thickness is hard. The thicker the...

Since you are training with a trainer, ask him. Don't listen to fellow EJs. If something feels good to you no reason to change.

Does those stains remain after cleaning?

I wonder what FH rubber Liang Jingkun uses. It seemed to have creamy sponge :| (might get wrong colors on device I am watching) Also he don't seems to bother using Alnade handle anymore.. creamy sponge:

I kinda agree. But I think that for us mere mortals boosting makes sense mostly for Chinese rubbers. Breaking in rubbers with hardness 39+ (from my experience) was noticeable harder than those boosted ones. Giving a fresh rubber even a coat of baby oil made it easier to use initially (despite...

For me most Chinese tacky rubbers last no longer than month considering I train 8-9 hrs/week.

Clean your rubber during the session every know and then. Do you best to keep your shoes as dry as possible. Grippy rubbers are not as much affected as tacky rubbers. But keeping both your shoes and venue floor dry is crucial. If power comes from the ground and you connection with the ground is...

That's also why you shouldn't change gear every 2 weeks. I think Gewo is underappreciated in general. I had hit with few of their setups and all of them were high quality.

+ used sheets MX-P are cheaper. If you want a rubber whose booster wore off, you might as well scour the internet for used sheets.
