Where is it unavailable?

Achanta Sharath Kamal used the H-3-9 at one point. I think that pros outside of single sided penholders do not really need or prefer the sheer stiffness provided by such a thick blade, as it seems like seldom do pros ever use a blade exceeding 7mm especially when it comes to composite fiber.

DHS Hurricane 2 Neo, low and dangerous arc, but not the most forgiving.

Red is harder and crisper, feels much better than Yellow.

729 FX is a dinosaur rubber, and I think it could survive a nuclear fallout and stick play decently. It does tend to lose a bit of stick if you don't play with it, but if you take care of it it should last quite a while in my experience

Only thing I have seen about purple Baracuda is on a single Chinese website. I have also only been able to find Baracuda in blue color on Euro shops like TT11 and Dandoy

Here in the US just going off prices from shop.butterflyonline, Viscaria has been the same price as most other standard ALC blades ($185) for a while. I think the only cheaper ALC blades here are really the TBS ($135) and the IFALC ($165). At the moment there seems to be a 10% discount on a...

Hexer Grip is pretty decently boosted from the factory, I don't think C1 is boosted. My experience has been that C1 felt harder and has a crisper, more direct feeling, whereas Hexer Grip had a stronger sensation of the ball sinking into and shooting out of the rubber especially on soft contact...

Using quick Google searches, the sport is called takkyū in Japan, taggu in Korean, and bóng bàn in Vietnamese. So to blame "most of far east" seems like an easy position to take in order to blame an entire demographic

Palio CK531A, Bomb Talent are both cheap long pips that give good spin passing. Get them with 0.5 sponge if you want an easier time gluing them with liquid glue, because the base sheets are very thin, otherwise application with a gluesheet is much easier. Yinhe Pluto and Dawei 388C-1 are a cheap...

Been a while since I hit with either but I think the biggest difference is that the TBALC has a considerably larger handle, and feels more balanced with heavier rubbers.

My point is that the headsize discrepancy between DHS blades and Yinhe blades is basically negligible. My DHS blades measure just about the same as my Yinhe blades

I second this, arylate/aramid needs to either be cut with a knife, or sanded with a power tool or very hard sanding block in the direction of the carbon layer, otherwise it will not be removed at the same rate as the wood and carbon.

The V-14 Pros I've seen have regular Yinhe headsize which is on the larger side, like 152x158 to 159mm.

Have you ever used speed glue?

I've known a few who have used Hinoki/Chinese style rubber, like Amultart/H3 or 729FX on a single ply jpen, at the end of the day it boils down to personal preference. But my two cents is that people who use Chinese rubber tend to prefer them for looping over driving, and most Hinoki blades are...

The better the player, the faster they adjust. The really good ones see something once or twice, and basically instantly know how to either bait it out to punish it, or to apply pressure in order to force you to either make a mistake or avoid it as an option

Looks like he was taking it easy. He might have been playing softer at the beginning in order to try and find easy ways to score instead of expending energy on playing a brute-force game

If you want to borrow spin on chop, I recommend Feint Long 2, and if you want to make spin on chop then Feint Long 3. Thin sponge will give a crisper clearer response and thicker sponge will give a bit more spin with more aggressive strokes, so if you're trying for a more approachable setup then...

Hmm, I guess I should have said was instead of is 🤣
