Old version has blue handle, was also named Gatien Extra I believe. I think they switched the handle style and name to Sweden Extra between 2013-2015

Rubber and glue are elastic and deformable materials. If we were talking about a hard surface that did not deform then a bumpy and rough surface would certainly be more noticeable, but the fact that rubbers deform around the ball, the ball also deforms during contact, and the glue layer itself...

Its also weight, legal thickness aside, having more than 4 or 5 layers of glue compared to 2-3 on the rubber can make a noticeable difference in the weight in the head of your racket.

I think Baracuda is not quite as hard as other ESN47.5 rubbers so I am led to believe it is ESN45. It is easier to compress in both shots and pinch test for me vs other gen 4 ESN47.5 rubbers like R7, G1, Aurus, Vega Pro.

The shape of the neck of the blade is also a little suspect

It really just depends on what you want from your equipment. Allround Evo is pretty flexible, and most blades considered faster than it tend to be stiffer as well. I think the most logical upgrade in my mind would be a tried and true 5 ply like Petr Korbel, Primorac off-.

After all, its more difficult to compare pimple structure if the pimple side is not exposed. I have taken a similar photo comparing the sideviews of GTPS and Codexx 52 rubber, they look the same, I have also compared both to the Sieger PK50 and any visual differences seem imperceptible. Its...

I'm guessing the K2 is on the bottom because the pimples seem to be slightly bigger but theres no other way for me to tell as I havent tried K2. These 50 and 55 degree hybrid rubber families just look so similar its nearly impossible to tell just from photos

Swat Power is a different blade than Vanilla Swat. Vanilla Swat is thin like a 5 ply blade, sub-6mm overall thickness should make it slower and more flexible than the thicker Szocs and Fextra. I have had a pretty light Swat at 79g, it felt similar to a more solid feeling Stiga Allround Evolution...

Aurus is steadier, less grabby than G1. They are reasonably similar IMO but G1 has the edge in making spin and has a higher arc, whereas Aurus is less spin-sensitive and more stable in block/counter.

OVT is one of my favorite rubbers, it is not so bouncy or reactive in the short game or low impact, but it is quite springy and automatic feeling once you start hitting into the sponge. Whereas I felt Vega Pro a tic more sensitive and jumpier in the short game but when I got to hitting into it...

And what is the email? Is the rubber itself colored yellow or is it just the packaging? Do you even have the rubbers, and if so can you provide photo evidence of their existence? Forgive my skepticism but you have provided exactly zero evidence that your claims are legitimate.

Must be a long and intense training session

Its not a picky rubber but I'd rather use it on a less flexible blade, for more support and easier speed.

C'mon man I just want to know if this rubber actually exists and is available through the methods you are claiming.

Is there any legit hard evidence? So far all I see is a low res photo that looks like a colorshifted edit of the original xh packaging, and mercurial comments from OP.

Is Tenergy 25 a hybrid by your standards?

Once you get down to it, it is not all that. Its basically just a larger scale version of sanding blade wings for penhold grip, y just need to properly mark out where you want to sand it to. You can take as long as you want or need to, to slowly shape the blade; in this aspect the process can...

If I were to loosely compare Fastarc G1, GT and H3, GT is closer to H3 imo. It is a pretty hard rubber, switching back to G1 for me now feels almost mushy in comparison. GT is easily bouncier than H3 I think you should check out the Tronix ZGR as a hard nontacky rubber, it may be more appealing...

Its a good rubber, modern feeling with nice grip and decent speed, just feels a bit softer than the 47.5 sponge hardness rating.
