If you are already used to it, I don't think it would be bad to use FL3 on a MLC. Its somewhat stiff but its not so fast one couldn't chop comfortably with one IMO But if you're looking for an oversized chopping blades under €40, you can check out the Donic Defplay or Yasaka Sweden Defensive...

I hope you like it. I have been buying from Cole for more than a decade, he's a cool dude with great customer service and has always prioritized affordable gear, even if his website is a little old fashioned.

I'm incredibly excited about the participation of Wei Wang and Artur Abusev

In this context, does 'flexible' mean 'versatile?' I agree that 802-40 is more versatile, but that's because Tango Ultra is faster, bouncier, and more spin sensitive than 802-40; I'm not sure that every player would agree that these attributes would necessarily make a rubber shine at blocking...

802-40 is easy to use but I think Joola Tango Ultra (idk if they still make it anymore but also Butterfly Raystorm) is the SP that comes closest to smooth rubber. Tango Ultra has very fat and soft pips with a soft sponge

Go to ColesTT.com, he puts together combos from his own stock that will work well for your needs

SP are more difficult to use when actually chopping, they are less absorptive and more spin-sensitive and require fast footwork and good form to both get in position and to keep the ball low when chopping, and they are not as naturally tricky vs LP at closerange. The strengths of SP in playing a...

I think both Eternity and the Legend style handle have been discontinued

Update on the double inverted Clipper setup, it is a dog to maneuver. Could not swing on my bh if it costed my life. Amazing power on fh though but I struggled to touch the ball. Took the R48 off and stuck Moristo SP on and its become a great weight to swing around- total 187g. Its almost too...

+1, Glayzer series are very forgiving. Initially testing them had me feeling like regular Glayzer was rather slow and uninspiring, but I suspect it was either the blades I tried it on or the fact that I had the 1.9 version, now I have had a 2.1 version on one of my main combos and it is a very...

My setups usually weigh about 190 +/-5g The mod is to pop out the plastic lenses in the handle and counterweight the blade by stuffing things into the WRB space. In my case I put like 2 sticks of hot glue and 3 or 4 pennies in the handle

Its a vicious cycle. You get the first taste of sticky rubbers after using nonsticky and you are (no pun intended) hooked. You try hybrids but there is just something about them that doesnt quite work out. Sometimes they don't last quite as long as you want, some are a bit too soft or a bit too...

Testing my most recent acquisition, Clipper CR WRB with the Der Eche mod, H3 Neo Prov 40 and a piece of the new blue R48. Total 204g after stuffing some pennies and hot glue into the handle, heavy but nicely balanced

Yasaka blades are a bit on the smaller size but they are pretty square. Gewo also makes pretty bulky squared straight handles. Xiom Feel series straight handle are also squared, thicker than Yasaka but smaller than Gewo

JO shape is a shape of racket head used by Waldner. I believe it was pioneered by Banda (which JO was using at the time) and it is a tall and skinny egg-like shape, with very small wings. Dimensions are about 160ish by 149mm if my memory serves correct. Edit: photo-

Is 40 deg #22 provincial in 2.1 the most widely used configuration? Do people care much about 2.1 vs 2.15 or provincial vs national grade?

I often wonder if it was actually the 40+ ball that set off the widespread transition to artificial fiber blades, or just that players were simply getting better at pushing the two winged topspin meta requiring harder sponges and blades that yielded easier speed. Tbh defenders are the only...

I'd prefer chalk to sweat. A bit of chalk seems makes little to no difference, after all brand new balls come with a bit of powder on them and it doesn't really make a big difference (at least to me) unless the dust has built up on the rubber

I knew a guy who chalked his hands throughout his sessions. Used rock climbing chalk. A bit messy but it worked well for him
