After 1st day of playing with N80, it feels pretty good. The spin and grip is good, the control is good, it feels like I can grab the ball very well. The rubber is very comparable to H3 or Sanwei Target Pro, as the tack and dwell time is high. Part of that is the loop speed is much higher than...
Ok I finally get to examine this rubber for itself after months or years of hearing about this rubber. I have been told it is similar to big dipper by @mocker88 and I have been told its similar to H3 by @IB66
From what I can see and just from bouncing it, I belive that it is very similar to H3...
But it seems like Loki just cannot get the hardness accurate. Not sure if Rxton 9 is accurate because of the high price and "national" level.
But my sheet of N80 is labeled "very hard", and 49D on their scale. I was expecting something like H41, very hard and 55+ on ESN durometer. But mine is...
I played with both MXD and R53 boosted today on bh. I think the booster makes a bit difference. It feels more catapulty, and a lot more forgiving.
I was able to hit some very confident loops and drives from bh.
Honestly, the Moon Speed feels about 3 generations behind. Its decent in its own right and i enjoyed using it.
But Moon 12 feels like a huge upgrade, a large jump in capabilities
I haven't played with it yet, but both the MXD and R53 seem lighter and springier after 1 layer of seamoon. I think this is an improvement, there seems to be easier access to speed.
Sure, but that could be said of every esn and butterfly rubber!
H3 commercial boosted is still a really good cheap option. Bloom power, Jupiter 3, LAC, all great choices.
Boosted Aurora Max is up there with tensors, and Moon 12 is just as good.
Unboosted, the TDE is tackier and more powerful than Nittaku H3.
But the TDE doesnt take booster well.
The NH3 takes booster better and performs better boosted.
It seems to me that Butterfly knows zlc blades are harder, so they try to compensate by making zlc blades thinner to try to balance it out.
I used to have a Timo Boll zlc, but I sold it. I didnt really feel it was anything too special. Its like the zlc made it slightly springier, but the...
Question, Is Omega China a ESN rubber made along the likes of Dragon Grip and Bluegrip, etc? Does it have the same porous spring sponge?
Or is it more of a dense Chinese sponge?
