Agree with your H3 view, but I found that I couldn't finish points off anymore with it. Nothing wrong with the rubber obviously - my body hold me back these days. I thought the IF with T05 was too reactive to spin (especially service return) and too high throw. I'm really happy with the...

Hmmm, complicated. I played better with the Boll setup for sure, but had to take a break because of stomach surgery. When I came back, I couldn't generate enough power with H3 because I can't really rotate my waist as much now, so I moved to the Tenergies on various blades, including the IF...

I've never used a H-WL, but it's supposed to be stiff, hard, and quite fast. If you're going to keep your current rubbers, the Boll is a better move IMO.

Comes down to your own needs really. For close-in attacking, I think the Boll edges it with its sharper, more direct feel. More precise. But some will prefer the IF's ease of use for slow loops and spin variation, and more wood-like feel. They are very close overall. They pair up well with...

Whoops - yes you're right. Got ZLF on the brain here.

Absolutely love watching Kenta play. You get the feeling that he could do anything at any point.

IMO, JP-01 does have a sponge hardness between M1 and M2, but the topsheet is softer than the original Bluefire series, and this generation of Tensors seem to have some kind of low-speed damping effect (less bouncy). Totally agree with John about the results of this - overall softer feel than...

For the Boll ALC - the outer ply is koto, the ALC layer is just under the outer wood ply. For the IF-ALC - the outer ply is limba, the ALC layer is under the 2 outermost wood plies, and the headsize is a bit larger. (edit - wrong! headsize is the same - thanks slevin) For me, this adds up to...

LOL - the time difference helps mate.

"Tensor" is a trademarked term owned by German company ESN, who make a lot of different rubbers for many different companies. Tensors used to have the tensor logo on the topsheet, and on the packaging, but recently this has disappeared for a lot of recent ESN-produced rubber. My guess is that...

M2 is pretty fast - I would say the overall speed is similar to the Tenergy range. Most of the Tenergys have noticeably spinnier topsheets than Bluefire though, and they keep their grip for longer. If you're set on switching, just pick the Tenergy which fits your needs best. T05 for all-out...

My experience with JP-03 is very similar. I'm a big fan of Bluefire M3 on the FH side, but never liked it on the BH side. I thought JP-03 would be a small step away from the original Bluefire line, but it's really very different. The initial shock was so big, I immediately hated the rubber...
