Why straight to the blades? In comparison to Stiga ARC these are all very hard and direct. Have you tried these blades before?

I was asking someone else, but my point is that a boosted hurricane is essentially a completely different rubber than without boost. This might not be the answer you want to hear but my best advice for your equipment dilemma is to use the rubber you can play the best with on average, and just...

Have you tried a fresh boosted Hurricane before?

First off the blade in photos does not appear to be ZJKALC, but ZJKT5000. You can tell because the stripe in the handle is purple (ALC is blue) and the insert on the bh side of the blade has faint text saying T5000. Second it looks legit to me, P serial code indicates 2015 production date which...

Time honored tradition:

I think it is more about the balance of the blade, the handle on FZD is a bit wider than Vis/ZJK so there is a bit more weight in the handle. D80 is the "in between" Dignics. 05 is more aggressive but it is stricter in its requirements to land your shots, 64 is easier to use and more direct but...

You can have 2 samples of a single model and have them play noticeably different. I'm not convinced that there much if any difference between OffS and Hayabusa Off just from looking, handles may be different shapes, but visually they look the same in terms of construction

Provincial grade is way easier to find nowadays compared to 10, 15 years ago, it would make sense that DHS would lower provincial QC standards to increase distribution and profit. National is also much easier to find, and I have been able to find national Neo for under 60USD on Aliexpress during...

I don't know what hardness scale DoubleFish uses but if its similar to the one used by DHS, then G1 is softer. You want something soft and light for bh to start out with, something easy to use- like KTL Rapid Speed, RITC Focus 3 Snipe, Palio AK47 Blue.

You say tacky both sides, but Fastarc G1 is not tacky. If you are using the DHS scale of harness then G1 would be closer to 38, not 40. I don't even know if they make 38 degree Hurricanes anymore but the H3Neo 37 I tried felt softer and mushier than G1. Do you have any experience at all playing...

If you are not competing then it doesn't matter. But legally you can really do whatever with the racket where your fingers rest as it is not considered a striking surface

I bet it's likely that for really high profile players wanting market versions of a blade, the manufacturer would at least separate out samples of a desired weight to provide a pool the end user could select from. Schlager has stated in the past that he was using off the shelf Primorac Carbon...

Your point stands but he used the Butterfly Defence II, all willow wood with 5 plies in the handle and 3 in the head

Yinhe 982 is not Hinoki, it looks a lot like Hinoki but I have tried a few and it is not the same. Whatever wood it is is very hard and bouncy, not like the very soft and catchy feeling of true Hinoki, my Tmax and Vmax are both much better feeling. If its what you want then I guess it can be a...

FZDALC will be the most similar to the ZJKALC in your signature

Skylines are less reactive/lively than H3 and they feel firmer and more direct, but they are more stable and have higher spin ceilings. TG2 in particular is quite slow but you can really load up the spin, and it is excellent at serve/short game.

If you want a Hurricane style rubber that excels in the short game, Skylines might be worth considering

Euro Korbel maybe, I've never used it. All the Japanese Korbels I've used are reasonably flexible.

150usd is right around the entry level mark for buying a decent quality 7 ply wood and 2 midrange German Tensors through mainstream channels (at least in the US), and since it seems they are badge engineering these higher end rackets I don't think its necessarily a bad deal. You could spend a...
