How is B3 vs B2?

Sure, Harimoto is a good blade with decent dwell time. Go ahead and get that one if it is drawing your attention.

I would recommend you the Sanwei 75 inner. It is the same composition as 301: Koto-ayous-alc-ayous. So in some ways, it would be similar to 301. But it is a bit thicker and quite a bit faster.

Yes, Harimoto ALC is thicker and stiffer.

It is somewhat hard. I don't think short game is the problem. But I think it has less catch on your loops. There is always a tradeoff between catch and rebound.

I think the 301 is thinner and flexier and also a bit slower.

My friend is a long time HL5 with D09c/D64 user. But he was curious about Chinese rubbers because of all my equipment. So he ordered a setup I suggested of Loki Arthur Asia and Moon 12 M+ and boosted both sides. LAA boosted very closely replicates D09c. It had very very high speed, and the...

Just get the 75 inner

I think H3 has better control, so it sometimes it feels like you can really get into a good rhythm without errors. But H8 has more rebound, so it feels like you can hit more powerful shots.

Any idea how about Lidu booster, Taiji, and Dianchi?

I would recommend boosted Bloom Power, Double Fish Volant-Phoenix, or Loki N80.

I told you its good. Now try H8

Having played with LP and against LP, I agree with his feeling. When I won with LP, its nothing to feel proud about because I simply used the un-equal equipment to disrupt his regular pattern. When I won against LP, it was a boring and ugly game and not fun at all.

It happens more often with LP. Thats why I called it asymmetric capabilities. I havent even researched the stats, but Id be willing to bet on this.

Imagine if you were coaching world #1 Sun Yinsha. She wouldn't have lost to world rank 150 Indian players. So easy

No sir. I respect that people appreciate the variation of LP. I think that's a reasonable opinion. I simply have a different view. Different minds can reach different reasonable conclusions.

Even playing field. All rubbers should have the same spin-nature. You shouldn't be able to produce topspin by chopping and produce underspin by blocking.

This is the direction our sport needs to go in

exactly. LP only works asymmetrically because it is so infrequent

LP doesn't provide a permanent advantage. If it did, you would see the top 10 littered with LP players. However, what it does provide is a type of "asymmetric capability". For example, a rank 150 player might have a 2% chance of beating WCQ. But a rank 150 with LP might have a 5% chance of...
