I'm a fan of the regular Codexx, especially the 54, I'm curious to find out the differences between the Superselect 53 and regular 54 if you can compare.

Your form looks good but sterile drills in practice does little to show how well you'd do in a match setting. In my experience, the higher speed a blade offers through improved stiffness and hardness, the more work you have to put into the touch and spin areas of your game. If you are that...

If you want your opponent to mess up just because you touched the ball with a funky rubber, LP for sure. Anti plays more straightforwards, so it tends to depend more on your ability to twiddle/steparound and how well you can attack backspin with it. The concept behind toothpaste is that it is a...

I've had the exact same experience. One red, one black. The sheet of red has a sponge that is a lot more porous, it feels bouncier and more dynamic, the black one has a finer pored sponge and is noticeably deader. Of all the German rubbers I have bought over the years, this black sheet of MXS...

R7 and Aurus a bit less in the spin department imo but flatter arc and a bit more straightforwards.

Sad to see GT go but in all honesty I think the Tronix ZGR was a bit faster and more generally appealing due to being nontacky, the function of the rubber remains basically the same. The tackiness of GT did give a lot of benefits in the service and short game department, but it did make the...

Yinhe T4S (5 wood 4 carbon) or T10/11 series (balsa carbon) I would recommend looking at Butterfly Rozena, Xiom Vega series for affordable speed.

For blade I'd recommend the Tibhar Defense Plus, it has a compact head and is light and slow because it has balsa but is also decently stiff for a defensive blade to aid the smashing, it is not flexy and boingy like the Defplay. In terms of rubber, classic style rubbers like Mark V and Sriver...

CK531A? You gave up too early, you have to beat up the pimples for at least a few sessions before they soften up and become milder and easier to use

Factive is a very beginner friendly rubber, you should just put more time into developing a better backhand

Would you be able to compare to Ovtcharov ALC?

Nexy Spear and Xiom Aria are both ~6.5mm limba top 5 ply wood.

If Big Dipper is the granddaddy, then products like 729 and globe 999 topsheet with Japanese sponge must be the common ancestor

D2 has bigger pips with a clearer and more direct feeling, less complicated to use because of the lower grip but a bit higher speed, but the trajectory makes for a better chopblock and hit game. D1 pips are thinner, it's a grippier rubber and offers more spin generation for a higher quality chop.

DHS C8, Palio CK531A, Bomb Talent

Tenergy and even Rozena are noticeably faster than Sriver. I think Glayzer 09C is more up your alley if you like chopping and spinning, it is slower and steadier with a focus on spin

It used to be more expensive than it is now, if memory serves correct it peaked at like $80, before Dignics was released.

I think it was 50usd on release, but by 2010 I believe it was around $60-65.
