  1. Advice please: 7-ply all-wood blade for my son

    and yet Your profile says "Viscaria light"... Cheers L-zr
  2. Some booster questions

    It depends, some rubbers can take it others can't. If someone says use 3 layers I would trust them. The process of resolving is slow so check the result before adding the next layer. But if the compound penetrates too deep the top sheet may loosen. Cheers L-zr
  3. Some booster questions

    Boosting is actually the same as destroying the rubber. The booster contains a compound (mostly paraffin oil) that reacts chemically and resolves the rubber. So don't use too much or you will end up with a mushy mess. :) Cheers L-zr
  4. Define MAX for me please

    You have to expect a certain variation. Butterfly for instance: 1.9 mm actually is 1.7 - 1.9 mm 2.1 mm actually is 1.9 - 2.1 mm So two of the one above could be very close in thickness. That said I think yours is way of the charts... Cheers L-zr
  5. Skyline or H3

    My guess would be that a penhold player tend to kill the ball quicker because it is harder to play defensive. Then they would want a faster tool for this. Cheers L-zr
  6. SDC Handmade Blades

    Carbon in the center, don't think I've seen that before. What's the point with this? Cheers L-zr Edit: can’t be for the hardness , Stiffness ? Weight ?
  7. Wize teachings by a Senior umpire.

    Agreed, The rules should be simplified and some of the rules should be discarded. No pint in having rules that can not he enforced… Cheers L-zr
  8. New rubbers on a Yasaka Sweden Extra

    I prefer Rakza 7 before MXP (actually before the entire evolution series) and G1. Haven’t tried the other ones. If You want a Tibhar rubber I recommend Hybrid MK. It has very little tackiness but tons of grip. Less catapult than Rakza 7. Cheers L-zr
  9. Some rubber comparisons

    You guys have completely opposite impression of speed ! Hmm, interesting. Could it be that they are all very similar? Cheers L-zr
  10. A somewhat flexible composite blade with a soft feeling

    I played a few more sessions with this blade (FH: H3 prob OS) now. It’s getting better. It feels like FH is opening up, now I have more power than my other blade with bloom power but less pure spin. This is probably due to the H3’s lack of tackiness. But it’s a real nice and balanced rubber. It...
  11. DHS fans unite!

    Let it stay on. And if you cut the rubber with it on your fingers doesn’t need to touch the rubber… Cheers L-zr
  12. Which Hurricane 3 version?

    Can we agree on one thing. H3 has lost its edge by ditching the tackiness… Cheers L-zr
  13. Which Hurricane 3 version?

    I never saw this happened even back in the early 70’s… Cheers L-zr
  14. Post your latest EJ purchase

    My training mate last night played with one of these. Equipped with Rakza 7 both sides. He had killer spin, but a tendency to hit a little long. It was a good session regardless… Cheers L-zr
  15. Backhand Rubber for Reverse-Penhold Backhand (rpb)

    I would say shore O 45 (ESN scale) be the softest. But some considersation fit the top sheet should be taken. I.e Rakza 7 soft and Vega Europe are too soft. Too soft rubbers would make serve receive and short game more difficult since the are usually more spin sensitive and catapulty. Cheers L-zr
  16. Backhand Rubber for Reverse-Penhold Backhand (rpb)

    Out of all the rubbers you mention, my pick is Victas ventus extra, but I’m a shake hand player. It’s a pretty fast and hard rubber with great spin capability. If your blade is really fast I would pick something slower, but stay in the hard range, don’t go too soft. 😉 Cheers L-zr
  17. Two new Cybershapes from Stiga (Clipper & AC)

    Not expensive !!! wow... I paid around that price for a blade specially made for my requirements. To mass produce a small piece of wood like that doesn't cost a lot of money. There is a gimongous mark up. I bought some alser all+ from TTEX at 25 Euro a piece last summer and I still think they...
  18. Looking for light rubbers (coming from Rakza 7)

    I have used Mark V HPS. They are great rubbers but a bit expensive for what they are. Faster than regular Mark V but slower than regular ESN rubbers. Spin is about the same as older generation ESN rubbers. They last quite a long time. I recommend them if You think regular ESN rubbers (~45-47*...
  19. Two new Cybershapes from Stiga (Clipper & AC)

    It looks cooler. I really like hipnotics blade with the handle looks like a coffin.. A perfect Halloween blade… Cheers L-zr
