To me, the modern rubbers may have slightly more catapult, but the reality is that they are just very minor improvements. In an actual gameplay situation, you if you are actually striking the ball, the "catapult" doesn't have too much effect. I would be perfectly happy playing with Rakza 7 or...

oh ok you are right. So what is the difference between the Rhyzen ZGX and ZGR? They basically look identical to me. Same sponge, same hardness. But for some reason, the ZGX seems to be a lot more bouncy.

I just glued on a bunch of new rubbers to test. I got these in November, but I just had them lying around the house for a while as I was busy going through some other rubbers. I will give you my findings next week. Just from initial inspection, I can already make some observations. The Battle...

let us know how you find it!

Im surprised they are losing money. Maybe their gross margin is too low.

Ok, so what's his point of saying that? The reporter said he wants Japanese born players to beat China. Why did Mizutani say his thing? To imply that Harimoto's win wouldnt "count"?

I don't understand Jun Mizutani's statement. Is he saying that his own mother was Chinese and played for China? Or is he referring to Harimoto's mother? His statement just says "mom", so it's not clear to me whose mom he is referring to.

you are right

Played a few games to test out the C45 on bh a little more today. It's quite nice. The extra tack and grippiness really gives you more confidence. You feel a bit of extra safety on flicks and loops, just a bit of extra grip and hold helps.

Darn, I was looking forward to testing this. Because I like most Chinese tacky rubbers. Not sure if it's worth it.

Sure, why not. I personally think your D09c/G1 setup is better though

It's not super fast, but it's adequately fast. Spin is pretty good, but the spin potential feels lower than harder rubbers like K3 or Dragongrip

Its just nice to know the true level of the players. Fzd has more than double the ittf race points then top 10 players, but obviously hes not twice as good. I think maybe his elo should be 100 pts above LYJ or somebody?

Sure, switch to penhold or switch racket setup

If you already like Acuda S2, I think you should give Bluegrip S1 or S2 a try. It does have more grip, and it probably has a similar amount of catapult as S2.

I think its enough catapult for anybody. Its not as bouncy as mxp. But its far bouncier than unboosted h3. I dont think catapult is the right concept with this type of rubber. It requires a bit of activation. But once you punch through the rubber a bit, its not really slower than the untacky...

I tried the boosted rxton 3 pro on the atletico power today. I think it does feel better and tamed now. The atletico is a more stable, less catapult blade

Obviously Mima Ito will be disappointed with not being selected. This news segment interviews a few people from her hometown being disappointed. They show the TT table donated by Mima to her elementary school. The officials seem to indicate that being a good doubles player is the biggest key for...

Interesting, according to Andro's ELO rating, LYJ, Felix Lebrun, and Truls are actually the best Non-Chinese in terms of actual ELO rating. Do they update these ratings after every tournament? Also interesting that the best player is under 2750. So he is closer to the pack than Magnus is in chess.

Not exactly S2, but I have played both Bluegrip S1 and Andro C45. I thought maybe the speed would be lower, but actually that's not really true. I didn't really find C45 to be slower than R45, for example. Even if you hit the ball a tiny amount in a block, a drive, or a loop, the ball easily...
