Just my personal feeling but I think it is easier to brush with a harder sponge under tacky topsheet, with a softer sponge and tacky topsheet I feel like I am encouraged to hit more to overcome the higher absorption feeling of the softer sponge coupled with the slowing effect of stickiness, with...

MXS and AK47 red do share a similar steady and predictable feeling, but I think the only thing MXS has vs AK47 red is higher shot quality when you are really hitting hard, otherwise AK47 is a bit more transparent feeling and easier to activate. My main gripe with the AK47 series is that when you...

I'm not sure how they stack up to each other but I'm pretty sure Joola still makes Rhyzer Pro 45

I'm pretty sure this is the case

I felt H8 is a bit bouncier and more forgiving than H3 but has less grab and lower potential for spin. H3-50 and H8-80 both have softer porous type sponges made to be bouncier and easier to use for backhand than the #20 orange and #22 blue variants, but the #50 sponge is older/lower tech and...

Between the various versions of Dynaryz and Rhyzen, it seems that Joola is doing such a good job at confusing not only customers but the retailers that Megaspin has listed the newest Dynaryz variant the "Dynaryz Micron" 😂 Only $10 more than the regular Micron

All Skylines have the name TG, it just stands for Technology Generation as the Skylines were developed after Hurricanes for more specialized usage. First (blue pack) is regular TG2 but new package design Second (red) is regular TG2 old package design Third (orange/yellow) is just Neo TG2...

Xiom Fuga (similar to Avalox P500) for koto outer, Gewo Zoom Pro (in between Butterfly Korbel and Primo off-) for limba outer. Both slower and more flexible than Xiom Offensive S (from reviews seems to be a bit faster and stiffer than Virtuoso). But I have also found weight plays a big role in...

I suspect that no small part of it is that players are getting wiser to the facts that weight can play a big role in feeling and performance for blades, and that you can pretty easily request for and receive a desired weight if its available.

The thing with premades, especially Chinese ones, is that there is no guarantee about any quality of the product. The rubbers are most commonly factory qc rejects with inconsistent thickness and hardness, and the blades are usually made with the cheapest woods with very poor build quality, thats...

I have to admit its a little strange for me to see such a fancy lens, on the classical black/brown Stiga handle design

If you like SP, IMO you can never go wrong with a stiff and thick 7 ply wood like Korbel SK7.

I feel like I've seen photos of his racket with K3 on it before, he may just be switching between the two. Also I don't think sourcing rubbers is as much a problem to anyone in the wr 100 as it is to us more mortals, after all he is using MXP Infinity which is not even publicly available yet to...

Jorgic on K2 is interesting

ACC is a nice rubber, grippy and bouncy in a Tenergy 05-esque manner. Its rated as 47.5 but feels more like 45, for example Bluestorm Z2 and Fastarc G1 both feel firmer and less reactive, ACC for me feels similar to the Nexxus Superselect 45.

Impossible to tell for sure from just the limited footage available, they are both above usatt2000 for sure. Old dude looks kinda tricky to play, Id guess he'd be around usatt2200 or more at a glance, but he was likely much better when he was younger given the proficiency and consistency of his...

It is a bit strange to see nowadays, but if memory serves correct, pre-1993 Stiga blades were not originally made inhouse of Stiga factory but by Woodhouse AB who mainly manufactures for Yasaka and Donic. Stiga has also had a few blades made in China such as V1 carbon, S-series and Active, but...

Probably made for the 44mm ball

Novel concept but I fail to see how this would be better performing than hardbat or even sandpaper. It might be better for longevity. The blades look very thick so I'm assuming they use very soft wood

There were a couple KTL rubbers that used a layered sponge with different hardnesses years back, I think it was banned though.
