Lol, I have not finalized my order yet. So I put the Harimoto ZLC from Stuor in my online shopping cart. I have Sanwei F3 pro from BEO store in my shopping cart. At this point, I might as well buy some rubbers from BEO as well (Palio CJ8000 and T88 Ultraspin). Is there any other Stuor blade...

The Harimoto you recommended. Stuor Long 5 (I just got to give it a try). And the one wit h gold ZLC carbon.

Great. Thank you for the feedback! I am going to order three Stuor blades and let us see how it goes! I will probaby receive them in 2-4 weeks. :) :)

Got it. Have you tried Gambler carbon blades? I am sure they are outsourced and made in China but for $40 a piece, it is actually quite good quality. Fire Dragon series have nice looking handle. Fire Dragon Fast is really fast. The ball bounces off of it very fast. I am putting Mercury II on...

Which one is the Harimoto ZLC? I just want to double check. Their Fan Zhendong ALC clone has Fan Zhendong's name in it. Their Viscaria clone, you just look at the handle and you know what they mean. I thnk their Harimoto ZLC is more subtle. I also read in another thread that look for "gold...

Easy. Hurricane 3. However, I heard the new Hurricane 3 is not as tacky as before. So you might want to get TG3 instead (it is a hurricane variant basically). I have a sheet of DHS G888 on the forehand side of a defensive blade with long pips on the backhand side. G888 is very tacky too...

You are right. I just checked. I cannot find Mercury II hard anywhere. I got my Mercury II soft and medium my BEO store. A new shipment arrived. When I opened the package, yeah it stinks like a regular chinese rubber. I cannot wait to boost it and put it on my faster carbon blades to tame them...

I imagine Innerforce layer ALC will be faster. Nittaku Acoustic will probably be about the same speed as your current blade, Tibhar Samsonove Pro Black edition. For an all wood blade, I will be frank; Nittaku Acoustic is a bit expensive. For a carbon blade, I will honest, Butterfly is a bit...

I don't like Tenerg 05 Fx. My pushes always go long. But that's why I like Rakza 7 soft. On my pushes, I can still impart a lot of backspin but yet the ball stays o nthe table. I like Razka 7 normal ok. I have it on my spare blade. I am waiting until I get my backhand loop down before I...

Sorry, I meant the exact degree of hardness. I go by roughly how it feels in my hand and on my blade :) :)

I have been using one layer of booster even on soft rubber like Rakza 7 soft. It seems to work. I don't think any ESN rubber requires 2 or 3 layers of booster. Hurricane 3 on the other hand, needs 3 layers before I am happy to put it on my blade.

I got Big Dipper 41 degree from BEO store on Aliexpress. Do you recommend me giving it another shot but 38 degree only? I don't know how to describe. It is not a very catapulty rubber (I don't expect it to be like ESN rubber) but not as tacky as Hurricane so I don't want to use it on my...

I have thought about doing it in North America. But at the local clubs, the coaches are busy coaching. traffic is bad. I don't think that they want to commute to the school to teach. In addition, public schools have a lot of bureacracy. So maybe targeting private schools? But it is hard to...

Lol, maybe that is why I like Rakza 7 soft on the BH side of my carbon? I use H3 neo on the forehand side so the blade can be a bit heavy. I have four blades (same blade): FH is H3. BH's are Razka 7 soft, Razka X soft, Xiom Vega X and C-1. I really really like Rakza 7 soft. I think Razka X...

You just updated your profile. So you are using Tibhar Samsonov Force Black edition? Yes, that is a solid OFF blade. It is faster than Tibhar Stratus Power wood. Why don't you keep the blade? If you are curently using MX-P which is pretty fast, and you are set on an inner force layer alc...

I used Tibhar Stratus Power Wood for four years, with H3 neo on the FH and G-1 on the BH. Once I switched to carbon, I still use H3 neo on the FH but the BH side I had to switch to Rakza 7 soft. If the OP is really all around player who now wants to experiment with carbon (even though it is...

Agree. You should use what is most comfortable for you. Your body and your play results speak louder than any feedback you get from the forum. Ma Long is known to use Hurricane on the backhand as well. Someone did a time line of his equipment over the years. It looked like he used to use...

Apparently, Matt never got formal coaching, right? He plays very well!

If you are all around player, I would not argue against innerforce layer alc. I would recommend Rakza 7 soft and Fastarc C1 instead.
