I'm of the old school, I'm right handed and I strive for the natural position to have my left leg in a forward position. Always when I'm playing at a distance, but when playing close it is difficult. If Your legs are parallel it becomes harder to hit it to Your opponents backhand with topspin...

How about keeping Your setup and buying a slower 5 ply all wood blade. Hammond Z2 is not extremely fast so use the same rubber on this blade. Then when you feel you ready for it switch back to your old setup and upgrade your slower blade with something even faster. Cheers L-zr

The word “activates” is perfect…

By compressing the layrers of wood. A hard shot compresses more than a soft shot. BTY ALC.S is a really good example. On soft shots it’s an all blade and on hard shots in almost up to off+. I have that and I love it but the handle is s super tiny… Cheers L-zr

Not a big difference. I prefer Z2 and I think it’s a little easier to play with. But it was a year since I played with G1. Cheers L-zr

Z2 feels a lot softer than G1 and according to nittaku’s German homepage it’s 45”… I doubt seriously it is 50”. Cheers L-zr

It doesn’t matter too much. I usually select this in regard to weight. I want a total weight 180 - 185 grams and a head balance not too head heavy. Mark V has a pretty dense sponge so it is a little bit heavy. Compared with I. e Mark V HPS that’s has the same top sheet but a little more bouncy...

With a lot trampoline You get a different force/speed relation, where to measure. At the top or some kind of average. I don’t know. A curve wou have been better, but for sure something has changed. When it comes to the relation T05/T05FX I think the new is a better match. But if You throw in...

Om What they are like day and night, You have just disqualified yourself from all credibility…

It all depends how Uou measure, unfortunately they don’t tell… Cheers L-dr

Yes absolutely, I clean quite often now and it’s much more successful. Cheers L-zr

One more thing about cleaners, They dry instantly after cleaning so You can lean Your rubber during training. Plain water dries much slower. Cheers L-zr

He he, 2-5 years... The sponge lasts about 6-9 moths... No worries about the top sheet. Yes I will definitely continue to use it... Cheers L-zr

Don't listen to somebody who is dissin' Mark V. Its old but it has one of the best top sheets on the market. It lasts longer than most others. It is slow which is good stepping stone for a beginner. The sponge does not have air pockets so there is very little catapult. Mark V is an excellent...

Accordig tp Butterfly's own diagram T19 is faster and less spinney than T05... Cheers L-zr

I am definitely no elite player, but I get a hell lot more spin out of T05 than Rakza 7. Do I win more games with it. No I don't. Do I think its more fun? Absolutely. The short game is extremely challenging with T05... Cheers L-zr

I used to play with T05/T05FX but I had problems with the short game. Felt like I was walking on a razors edge. Normally I don’t play much short game but one of my training mates is a defensive player and I just didn’t have any marginal. I have some sheets that are waiting. Judging by your...

Horse shit, In my country in a club everyone starts with basically the same equipment. Something along the line of a Donic Appelgren all play with Rakza7.

I used to have the same opinion, but I have changed. They leave a thin layer of something and I really makes the top layer last longer. Maybe it all in my mind but I also think I get a little better spin with than without… This is on non stickies… I will definitely keep using it. Cheers L-zr
