  2. Stiga DNA Pro Rubbers Review

    Thanks Yogi! It's good to hear that the DNA series defers enough from other ESN rubber series, also that the sponge is not brittle and fragile like I anticipated it to be. Would you say that DNA Pro M is topping MX-P as ESN's best rubber? Is its sponge surface less porous than MX-P's? Was it...
  3. Has anyone tried the new Timo Boll CAF?

    No, I've never tried the H301. From what I've read and understand though, the H301 is an ALC which feels a bit hard and is very fast. The CAF feels very much like an all-wood blade, very good touch, the koto outer doesn't feel hard here but it still packs a punch. I'd compare it most to the...
  4. Has anyone tried the new Timo Boll CAF?

    The Korbel SK7 is not higher level, it's just harder and faster than the regular Korbel. The regular Korbel is the safest choice not to hinder your progress... 5-ply wood allows for more touch and control which is very important when you're a developing player... and you could play with it...
  5. Has anyone tried the new Timo Boll CAF?

    I'd first recommend the Primorac or Korbel, the CAF is still quite fast.

    Do you have pics showing he's changed blade?
  7. Has anyone tried the new Timo Boll CAF?

    It's definitely not for the juniors, I'd say it's more for intermediate players. Regular headsize 157 x 150 mm. Quite underrated if you ask me.
  8. Has anyone tried the new Timo Boll CAF?

    I just tried mine and it felt great. It feels like a 5-ply wood, very controlable yet fast and holds the ball very well. It reminds me most of an Innerforce ALC yet has a more of a wood feel. If I hadn't tried the Harimoto, I would use the CAF instead.
  9. Rubber press, useless?

    I use the Yasaka clicky press for 30 min after I'm done gluing. I tighten it lightly, I stop tightening when I feel a little resistance from each dial. It seems to work well since I no longer get rubbers that lift around the edges since using it for the past 3 years.
  10. New(ish) Timo Boll ALC Genuine or fake

    With everything you've shown us and the fact the serial numbers match, your blade is real. Usually, some details even small really jump out when it's fake.

    The rubber itself looks like the real deal. But either way, wouldn't they have made it look perfectly flat and almost unreal looking?
  12. STIGA DNA Pro

    On this picture you see that it's not a perfectly flat glue job, which I couldn't achieve with the rubbers I first mentioned either. I attribute it to the very porous, brittle and fragile sponge of the Evolution and Bluefire series which this looks very much like. Not my cup of tea.
  13. STIGA DNA Pro

    The sponge looks a lot like the Evolution or Bluefire series, maybe even more porous and brittle. Also, on their main pic, the rubber is not glued perfectly flat, which is a problem I've had with MX-P, FX-P and M1 but not with rubbers like Tenergy, Fastarc, Rakza...

    One can always dream! Anyway, you can sometime get your hands on rubbers like MX-P or G-1 and the likes for 32€ from TT11.
  15. Apolonia is not using Tenergy on forehand?

    Yea, he's been doing that ever since he started using his signature blade. I think he's very humble and doesn't like thinking he's a star.

    I don't unfortunately, at least for a while, but let us hope! If Tenergy were cheaper, and Dignics's price stayed the same, almost noone would try Dignics or change to it. They'd have to drop both, which they should have from the start, like Tenergy at 50€ (instead of 60€) and Dignics at 70€...
