JSH and Koji Matsushita were both using Tackifire rubbers pre-glue ban, the phenomenon of choppers using really fast rubbers on fh is only a recent development when choppers have needed strong attack power all the time. Sticky slower rubbers have been a staple for choppers long before everyone...

Rxton9 is more a conventional hard sticky Chinese style rubber made for high effort strong shots. I've only used GA8 not 5 or 9 but the Goldarc series were made to be softer and more lower impact friendly. It just depends on what you want

Gionis and Filus use T05H. Wang Yang too. Last I saw of Wang Xi he was using 09C. Muramatsu is using V>20 Extra or something and Satoshi Aida is using RZEH. Joo is several years retired but he uses H3 now. All the Chinese choppers use Hurricane and do fine.

5g is still a lot especially if it's not evenly distributed, I just want you to be aware.

Even the non-pro version has a headsize of 158x152

TMXi has a large head size, and RZ is kind of heavy. I'd warn of getting a rubber that is on the heavier side least the setup turn out too head heavy. You should also seal the blade because both my TMXi have splintered a bit. I've never used Vega Korea but I can say that Vega Asia and Vega Pro...

Similar yes but the ACB balance is head heavy (assuming shakehand) like all DHS blades. And the Dynasty is actually very nice. Even though its outer the feeling is quite woody and natural, and it has good flex too but it has a bigger sweetspot and better support than allwood blades.

If inner carbons are taking your interest, check out the Anders Lind blade (and by extension I guess the True Carbon Inner). They are basically just inner Viscaria construction, my A Lind is softer and milder than the Viscaria constructions I own but it can still put the ball away. When I went...

Pro M maybe. But I felt Pro H is definitely faster than G1 at the expense of some spin

I've only seen this happen once in my lifetime, on a Donic Defplay Senso, completely split down the same line starting near the handle, I assumed it happened because of the flexing stress the blade is put under especially being so thin. But this was after a year or two of usage. Edit- now that...

41? I've only seen it in 39 and 40.5

Nuzn are effectively nontacky. 50 is a bit slow but the spin is good and the trajectory is very safe, and 55 requires you to hit hard to juice it properly. They don't feel very hard either, if anything 55 feels as soft as some 53 degree ESN rubbers I have tried, but the toosheet is soft which...

P3A and P1V are a bit similar but I think P1 has more reversal. I think its worth a try

Have you tried the P1 in ox?

Right now I'm using ZJKALC, H3 and D64. Lind is not a slow blade per se but it is not as crisp or as direct as an outer ALC for sure. I could switch between ZJKALC and A Lind without too many problems though

Double day? I think i remember reading that they are manufactured by a plant that used to make Butterfly blades. I've heard nothing but good things about the quality and performance, but there is not a lot of info on English about their products

Man, Meteor 8512 is a deep cut. This, Tulpe 911 and the Xiying 979 all seem to be mostly forgotten rubbers at this point. Anyone remember CTT National Pogo?

Its basically the same. But comparing mine to a TCI side by side the fiber layer looks very different. Dunno exactly how the characteristics of TCI stack up vs A Lind though, but the fiber of TCI makes it seem that there is more contrast between the black and white fibers, whereas with the A...

Its not very bouncy like an outer alc in the short game, not bad in this area. Blocking is alright but not quite as crisp and responsive as outer, more straightforward than inner limba construction. I think the trajectory is more or less comparable to a more flexible Viscaria structure, but...

Nittaku Turbo Hurricanes aren't hybrids, they are essentially just Hurricane 3 topsheets with really hard Japanese style sponges as opposed to the solid Chinese style sponges. So there is a bit more speed vs unboosted Hurricane but there is not quite as much support for hard hits
