I tried D05 before on backhand and it requires wrist involvement. MX-P and MX-P 50 are more forgiving on flat hits. Haven't tried D64, but if it plays similar to MX-P and lasts longer I might give it a shot.

Agreed. I was surprised as well. If felt more bouncy than MX-P.

I recommend giving Rasanter C53 a try. I used Rasanter R48 and C53 (both MAX) on Stiga Cybershape AR classic. R48 was bouncy so I had to use gentle strokes, while C53 felt amazing and offered more gears. C53 has more linear trajectory and easier to initiate the attack close to the table, but...

I wonder what's the speed difference between Asuka's and Anders' serves. Probably few milliseconds

What you can do is use edge tape only on the area where the blade touches the table. Timo and Dima use it like that and it makes the racket less head-heavy and easier to switch from BH and FH. This is what I did with my setup. Cause both my MX-P and M1 turbo rubbers aren't light

When the sponge absorbs booster it expands and this stretching disrupts the surface stickyness. The topsheet becomes more elastic and it grabs the ball during fast contact thus you get more spin.

Have you tried Donic Baracuda? I heard it's not too bouncy and has good spin. Haven't tried it myself, but I tried the Acuda rubbers before and they are also good at brushing shots.

Boosters can shorten the lifespan of a rubber as they soften the sponge and expand it, thus affecting the stickyness effect. You sacrifice tackiness for bouncyness

Did you boost your Dignics 09c? I heard that it affects durability of the tackiness. I think boosted H3N works on soft or medium blades that have some dwell to them so you can generate more RPM easier. Played unboosted H3N 2.15 mm on Tibhar IV-S OFF- blade and it felt very controlled, but I...

Spin is important until you face someone with short pips :D I think the most important criteria is feeling so you get feedback in your hand whenever your shot was too strong or too weak, too left or too right. I hit so many edges when lobbing my friends keep telling me to go F myself.

I tried mixing different blades with different rubbers and each combination offers a completely different playstyle. D09c + Stradivarius = Fast velocity medium-high arc setup for powerful topspins D09c + Sweden Extra = Less velocity but more RPM because of more dwell time, the arc is also...

The brand name definitely is a factor

If you play long pips on one side and inverted rubber on other, I suggest trying Dr. Neubauer blades. For example Matador Texa carbon. The blade has different composition of each side. The Carbon layer on the forehand side provides maximum power and lots of rotation, while the Texalium fiber...
