If you where to make a blade without wood. What material would you choose to make it from? This is offcourse not legal in competition, but its just for curiosity. (Or for those who are tired of their blade get destroyd during rubber change/want a blade from a dead material).

It would be interesting to look at a used old rubber before and after a threatment in the No tuning airbox from Soulspin.

The blade is probably more important. The problem is offcourse that i buy a blade and then change it after 3-4 weeks because i want a better handle. So i need both. I learned to play with smaller flared handles like Butterfly Franziska innerforce zlc and Tibhar AC Inside. A blade like Stiga...

Have you considered Glayzer? I know its not what you asked about, but its kind of simular to G-1, just with a softer touch IMO. G-1 feels harder than it is and Glayzer feels softer than it is. Like G-1 its good in the short game. Good spin and it last a long time.

Nice blade! Not sure about the national version. i have to sheets of national and i cant tell the difference from prov. Probably the player/star version is a lot better? What do you use around the handle? Is it normal griptape and wich brand is it?

I bought a Tibhar hybrid ac inside with flared handle. I hope the handle is not to thin. Credit to Tibhar who answer my email regarding the handle size. I will put Butterfly Glazer on FH and BH.

In my oppinion, Yasaka Shining Dragon 2 is a very good rubber. Compared to DNA Hybrid M and Nuzn 48 it is slower with better control. Its easy to create good spin.

For me this rubber is kind of equal to Nuzn. I tought the Nuzn should have better durability, but i am not sure about it. I have only used Nuzn 48 and DNA Hybrid M.

So im looking for a new blade. I am happy with the latest blade i bought, wich is Butterfly Franziska ZLC. The handle is not so wide, but its thick enough (flared). But the first rubber change and it splintered. I think i will go for another Butterfly blade, but this time with alc. The best...

I bought this blade after reading the report from: https://ttgearlab.com/2025/07/28/donic-skachkov-carbon-photos-information/comment-page-1/ I can not give you more detail im sorry to say. I put Stige Hybrid M rubbers on it. I bought it because it should have a large handle with a firm grip. My...

Im not sure. I know that the pros at my club also compete in sweden and they are lower rated in Sweden than in Norway

I play in the Oslo area myself, started in 2023 at the age of 47. I played 6 months in 1991, other than that i have not played before. I am also playing in the 4 division. My rating is 1320. So it sees that we have around the same progress. I Practice with 3-5 times a week. Write me a PM if you...

I think its not like the US system, but not far from it. I think for lower rated player the level is higher in Norway. If i look at your development from Juli 2023 to today i think you have a good progress. It also depends if you play only league or tournaments? Do you play in Oslo area? Wich...

Is China an independent country? No, it belongs to TPE!

I think this hardness is ok for beginners. It depends a lot on the blade. And it depends on the rubber. Maybe Schlager got a point in this paid commercial:

How do you find the handle on the Pure? Specially the thickness on the upper part of the handle? do you have a flared or Streight handle? For me, most stiga blades got very thin handles.

For more spin i would go for Andro Nuzn. I think the durability is good, but probably not like the G-1.

When i started to play my two first blades was ST handle. But i could never get a good grip. I started to use FL handles and it was better, but my search for a handle that wasnt to thin made me buy a new blade every month (close to). By TTgearlab most flared handles are thicker. Not only at the...

Im not sure. I didnt use it for a long time. I still got it on my Nittaku s-cz blade with the DNA Hybrid on the other side. I think the Stiga rubber looks more used than the Yasaka,
