I had also seen that but I'm not sure if the first 2 plies are limba-ayous or limba-limba. My guess is the former but it could be the latter. What I can tell you though having an IF AL and an IF ALC, is that the AL is obviously way more controllable and it is also quite flexible. It's less fast...

Again people have given you plenty of great practical and equipment advice on this thread. 5-ply all-wood ALL+ to OFF- blade. Exemples: Butterfly Primorac or Korbel, Stiga Azalea, Xiom Offensive S, Yasaka Sweden. Rubbers: Xiom Vega Intro/Elite/Europe, Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft, in 2.0mm, same rubber...

Keep it mind there's a big difference between practicing with a robot (or coach/partner for that matter) and in-game situations. Faster and harder rubbers can feel great in practice but then your technique can fall apart in an actual game because it becomes hard to control with all the...

Is that new!? I had never heard of this rubber before... the packaging looks nice :)

Rhyzer is considered a high-end European-style rubber which tend to make it easier for developing players to learn proper techniques versus hard sponge hard topsheet rubbers such as the Chinese-style rubbers like the Golden Tango series. Now 50+ degrees is very hard for Euro rubbers (meant to...

It will retail for 38,99€ in Europe, some sites will probably have it on sale for its launch.

Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft and Xiom Vega Europe came to mind before I was done reading your post and the part where you mentioned them as potential options. Either one would be a good option based on your preferences. R7S is softer at 40 deg and a tad more bouncy, VE is a bit harder at 42 deg.

I'm with what several people said already. Good choice of blade and BH rubber (Vega Europe 2.0mm). For your FH, Asia is too much for an intermediate player, and you could either go with Vega Pro (more linear, controlable and forgiving) or Vega Japan (more dynamic), either would be fine in...

It's not that you forget, it's that everything is easier in practice with set plays, whereas in a game comes variety and unpredictability and being out of position many times. A slower all-wood blade will give you more feel and will be more forgiving.

Ah you're right, I didn't have mine on hand but it does have print on the back too.

Saw him play in the Champions League in October, he was using a Butterfly Apolonia ZLC ST, couldn't see the rubbers though.

I recommend a classic 5-ply all-wood OFF- blade like the Butterfly Korbel, Primorac or Stiga Azalea OFF blades.

What about spin between R7 and VX?

Thanks Yogi! One last question (maybe...). How would you compare Vega X to Rakza 7?

That's because it's the back of the blades, only the fronts have print.

Yea Vega Pro (linear) and Japan (dynamic) are very different indeed. Now, would you say you like Vega X more than Vega Japan? Also is Vega Japan still more dynamic than X?

Wondering if the VX is more of an updated version of the Vega Japan rather than of the VP.

It's similar to the Butterfly Innerforce ZLC and Apolonia.

Hi Yogi, what's its cut weight on a 157 x 150mm blade compared to Vega Pro?

Thanks for the info! Any idea when it'll be available / when he'll have it in stock?
