That looks seriously uncomfortable. I see in Your profile it says "home made Kiso Hinoki 1-ply"... What I would do I would customize the handle on something similar. :) Cheers L-zr

I did a direct comparison Sunday. - Darker 7P-2A - My current favorite Soulspin Basaltec inner. - Nittaku excellent J-pen 1ply The only one that felt really special was the Nittaku. The Soulspin actually felt more lively than the Darker. They all had different rubbers so of course this...

Those properties are hardly noticeable on a multilayer blade actually depends on other layers. My soulspin blade with spruce is actually more “Hinoki” like than my SDC which has a Hinoki top layer, not Kiso though. I bought it on a weekly sale maybe a month ago. Cheers L-zr

On a multiple layer blade at least, spruce has a somewhat similar feel to hinoki. I think Soulspin is using Italian Spruce. Cheers L-zr

I just got a Darker 7P-2A from tabletenniss11 and tested it together with my Nittaku j-pen excellent that I got approximately at the same time. The j-pen excellent is a 9mm 1ply kiso hinoki and it has a much better distinctive feel than my 7P-2A, much more aliive. Cheers L-zr

Don't worry, if You want Rozena get it. Its not too hard. Cheers L-zr

Good luck… I have a “life time” supply of rubbers I need to change them really often before the waiting ones gets too old… And I’m up to 20+ blades now… I think JJ Ng is ahead… Cheers L-zr

For BH absolutely, haven’t tested the FX version but I think the normal is soft enough for me. It’s a rubber that has a softer feel than it’s rating. Cheers L-zr

Tenergy 05 is a semi soft bouncy and fast rubber which is a night mare in the short game. STAY AWAY unless you are really confident… If you are in between average and advanced I would recommend Tibhar Hybrid MK. Cheers L-zr

Yes you can certainly do that, but beware of the E.J bug… Cheers L-zr

Naa, G09C is not particularly fast. For that you need to hit really really hard. It’s very hard and kind of dead though. I still like it, but I like H3 a lot better. Cheers L-zr

If it’s Primorac carbon no no no. If it’s the 5 ply all wood Primorac why not… Cheers L-zr

Inverse of each other... :-) Cheers L-zr

Havent played with Aurus, but I dont like any of the Evolutions (Havent tried ..D's yet). Hybrid MK has some catapult but not too much, its pretty fast though. Havent tried C-1, but I like G-1 thought it was almost 2 years ago since I tried it. I like Hybrid MK because of the excellent grip and...

H3 from Tabletennis11 just about beginning of 2024, last batch OS in march.. National target from chtt.se (mocker) a little earlier (end of 2023) I like to remember. Friendship Bloom power was tackier than both of these. I find it very similar (but more tackiness) to Target National maybe a...

Tibhar hybrid MK is more like a regular ESN rubber. Fast but with less catapult, not much tackiness but excellent grip. Butterfly G09C has even less speed and catapult, little more tackiness but less grip. It has a dead feel to it. Hybrid MK is in my opinion a better choice, in fact my...

Even with boost its slower than G09C, one of the reasons I like it... Cheers L-zr

My Blue sponge Sanwei Target National is definately NOT tackier than either Commercial nor Provincial OS H3 (not Neo). Blue sponge I have not tested yet. H3 Provincial is also way livlier... Since I didn't boost Commercial H3 yet I cant tell, but unboosted it is similar to H3 (but my H3...

Naa, I play with H3 regular. The top sheet looks like crap but it still grips excellent. A little bit of the tack is gone but it holds a ball for -1s. I think the consensus is that H3’s looks bad but performs good when aging. Mine is now >2months with -6 hrs a week. Mine last one was changed...

Good find, Igor is constantly spreading disinformation… Cheers L-zr
