Does anyone know how the shape of the heads of Ovtcharov/Harimoto blades differ from classic Butterfly blades (boll, viscaria etc). The measurements are one thing but where are the added width added?

Does this Sueke glue really stick the rubber to the blade enough? I like the DHS 15 for everything but the thing it is supposed to do - stick a rubber to a blade. Other glues are a pain in the behind to remove from rubber but you don't have to worry about the rubber suddenly fly free during a game.

For me it is the other way around. Backhand and Tenergy (mostly 80) - opponents are surprised and block out. Backhand and sticky rubbers - I get surprised that they don't miss the table! :) Probably down to technique and how mush you brush and/or engage the sponge. Problem is that the hard...

Zlc handle, right?

I've also got an Inner 75. Looks good and the production seems very consistent. Mine is 89-90 grams. The blade surface is about the same size as Butterfly standard (Viscaria) but the handle is a bit longer and maybe slightly thinner (perhaps like most non-Viscaria butterflies?). Have some games...

It's a quite hard rubber. Sometimes it feels like the ball slips when the ball just doesn't penetrate the rubber enough.

They should change the rule to say that the ball must be in front of the entire body of server (and of course behind the line) throughout the service. It would make it possible to actually enforce the rule in matches with less than two referees (pretty much all matches...). A rule that actually...

Anyone actually tried the Sanwei 75 inner ALC? Looks good on paper and in pictures.

Nothing is "remarkably more" or "much better" between the two rubbers. Very simliar.

I recall speculations that the Sieger PK50 is the same rubber as Joola Tango PS. Does anyone know how it really is? The Sieger is available in 1.8 and 2.0 while the GTPS only in max theses days.

I've compared to a couple of Viscarias (one heavier than the CSC, one lighter) and I agree with you. The CSC is a faster and stiffer blade. Even if it's inner carbon it's thicker and the carbon is different. Feels harder as well.

Larger head means more rubber which means heavier total and balance away from the handle.

People seem to have different experiences and opinions but I'd say it is somewhere in between "classic eurojap" and "classic chinese". Hard but still somewhat bouncy. More dead and dampening than a T05 for sure. I switched back to tenergy (on BH) but I'm not winning more or less matches! :)

G09c has a much harder feel than T05. The non-09c-version of Glayzer would probably be a better choice.

Would this not be dependant of the weight of the individual blade?

The Cybershape?

GTPS = chinese style sticky rubber with european style sponge Rakza Z = semi sticky half chinese-half european topsheet with semi hard, half bouncy sponge Different approach, different feeling but similiar result!

Mayby I'm missing something but it says "top sheet" not "sponge".

Yes, I see now "A top sheet with identical technology to that which is used in the Dignics series." (https://www.butterfly-global.com/en/product/glayzer/) That really doesn't mean anything...

Isn't the Glayzer 09c topsheet supposed to be the same as Dignics 09c? Might be worth a try if it is the topsheet that activates the butterflies in your stomach.
