Inverted are more versatile. I can generate dangerous spin in chops and push, looping is easy, flicks are fast. Pips are always lacking in spin and speed, but exceed in immunity to incoming spin and create some nasty returns. It is a trade off. I am still stronger with inverted on both sides...

Don't kill the fun. If amateur can chop with H3, Rakza Z is a option.

Red B3 purple has slightly softer topsheet than red H3N orange sponge. The difference is not big, but it is there. I am using weak booster with forever like duration - falco platinum. Also, my H3N OS is 2.1mm vs 2.2mm for B3 purple. Probably because all of that, I find the both rubber so...

More impressions from B3 purple 40 degree (measured 54 shore o) on Dr. N Matador Titan. Very close to 2 layer boosted H3N orange sponge 38 degree (measured 50). B3 purple have a bit softer topsheet. I really like the speed range of that rubber. A weak hit is slow, a hard hit is fast. Same as H3N...

Did you observe two gear behavier - very slow on low impact and faster on hard hit? My guess is the faster gear appears when the sponge is bottoming out and thicker topsheet makes the difference in speed even bigger. My FX super soft is with red sponge and feel like is made from plastic. I...

Battle 3 purple 40deg, uncut 164 x 164mm, 54-55 deg shore O, 66.4g. Update: B3 purple is factory boosted and after couple of months the booster is gone and the rubber shrink with huge negative dome.

Pure carbon for offense and 3D printed for defense.

My Battle 3 purple 40deg red is 66.4g uncut 164x164mm. 54-55 deg shore o before break in. The quality of the sponge and top surface is superior to 729 Battle Taichi 2. Almost not sticky but a very grippy surface, it has the vibe of a well-boosted H3N OS. The reverse dome and nasty smell are the...

Can you compare B3 purple with H3N in short game? I am wondering how much of the bounce is present in light hits, also, is it high throw rubber like D09C? I ordered the purple rubber 40 deg red and will share my observations when it arrives.

Before 1 year, I had 3 setups, but EJ virus hit me hard and now I have more: 1. Dr. N Gladiator + H3N 39 BS nat. + H3N 38 OS prov; 2. Goriki Danshi + G1 1.7mm+ Super Do Knuckle 1.4mm; 3. Dr. N Matador Titan + TDE + Ilius B 1.3mm; 4. 980XX + H3 39 BS prov + Degu II 1.8mm; 5. Spinlord Ultra...

I like Ilius B 1.3mm for allround play. Very easy in attack, push and chop. But unsignificant reversal in block. In general, adding sponge reduces spin reversal but improves attacking capabilities. The thicker the sponge, the closer to inverted. Frictionless pips are banned. There is a minimal...

+ Honoka Hashimoto 🥰 with 7 layers walnut and 100g ++ Goriki Super Cut.

I don't have MTC, but it looks like Matador Titan is with the same walnut top and ayous second layer. So, expect it to be with the same hardness on low hits. On hard hit expect to be softer due to the titan mesh is softer than carbon. Also, I can bet that Titan is overall slower than MTC. Prov...

I tested it for ~ 3 hours with 2 sets of rubbers: Mantra Pro XH + 388c-1 1.2 mm and TDE + Ilius B 1.3mm. My first impressions are that Dr. N Matador Titan is stable and have some gears. On high impact played like OFF-, on low like ALL. Dwell time on BH was high for a stiff blade but lower than...

So, it is bad quality. I am not aware of the existing fake G1. My 2 sheets G1 were slightly curved in opposite direction — the sponge is smaller than the topsheet. The hardness was around 48 deg.

What glue and cleaner you use?

It is a good idea. See how it will play in your hand and, in the best case, will skip buying one extra blade.

I tried something similar in the past with an extra 0.5mm cork layer. The result was not so magical and I removed it. Still have sinful thoughts about adding an extra layer, but I am stopping myself from that rabbit hole. For now. Consider the next points: -BH side will also be affected - extra...

Just for reference - H3N becomes very easy on flexible all wood blade (980XX, 5ply, ALL-). The extra drell time and higher trow makes the opening loops unmistakable. My advice is to keep room for improvement and try something off- with medium flex. I have limited experience with Acoustic, but I...

It was Omega V Tour, memory error. Similar speed as T05, but not so bouncy. I never played with MX-P
