Rakza 7 Soft is similar to FX-P / FX-S in feel and hardness. Vega Europe is a very good suggestion. Rather than Tenergy 05, I would say 05 FX which feels harder than FX-S already. Other suggestions: Fastarc C-1, Rasanter V42, Hexer Powergrip SFX, Rozena, any of these would work well.

Thank you for the valuable info! I had tried C-1 3-4 years ago and remembered it to be softer but wasn't sure. Yes, I find MX-S and MX-P to be too heavy as well. Good to know G-1 and C-1 are not so heavy. Looking for something a bit harder than Rakza 7 Soft but not too heavy, so C-1, Rozena or...

Hi NextLevel, What would you say is the hardness of G-1 and C-1? What made you change from MX-P (or was it MX-S?) to G-1?

Hi, I've owned the Mizuno Wave Drive 5 and 7's and currently rotate between the WD 8's and Butterfly Rifones. For all the Wave Drives, 28.5 has been the perfect size, whereas my Rifones in size 28 are good but feel a bit big, I'm even considering sizing down.

Personally, I've only varnished 2 blades out of the 30+ I own and I found that the varnish makes it quite a bit harder for water-based glue to stick to it (it can also change the properties of the blade slightly). With no varnish and water-based glue, one layer on the blade and 2 layers on the...

Bienvenue sur le forum et welcome back to TT!

Yea 158 x 152 mm, that's also why I like the Korbel as well as the Liu Shiwen ZLF.

He's probably been using these new rubbers a while before they were each announced by Butterfly.

Yea, I saw this too! Which is proof we'll get several declinations of the Dignics as time comes. Dignics 05, 80 and 64 have been registered in the LARC for a little while, hopefully they'll come out not too long after D05. I'm hoping for FX versions of them soon too but have a feeling that'll...

His FH is Tenergy Hard 05 and his BH is Dignics 05 (just announced by Butterfly today): https://www.butterfly.co.jp/players/detail/wong-chun-ting.html

As expected, it's the same blade as the IF ALC, same thickness, just slightly larger headsize: limba-limba-ALC-Ayous-ALC-limba-limba. Release date is Spring 2019 (whereas Dignics 05 is specifically set for May). https://www.butterfly.co.jp/products/detail/36991.html

To answer your original question, I don't think the Rozena being a 42-43 degree hardness rubber on the euro scale would mismatch your Azalea ALL. A softer spring sponge/tensor type might, but 42-43 is still a relatively hard and fast rubber. Many of the good youth players at my club still use...

I'm also interested in this as I own a Korbel JP and Azalea myself and have been interested in the Rozena rubber having tried it but on other blades owned by clubmates. By the way, do you have the Azalea OFF or ALL version?

What do you mean by dearer?

I was going to suggest the same thing, just get the same set for now.

I wish Rozena was $33 in Europe instead of 45€. It's $40 in the US currently.

What the new rubbers could look like:

I think it's a fair assumption at this point based on the LARC and the fact that they've only announced a new sponge that the 3 new rubbers named Dignics (05, 64, 80) would be the same topsheets as Tenergy mounted on the improved spring sponge. After all, the Tenergy topsheets have been fairly...

How it should be. After being around for 10+ years, the production cost of Tenergy should have gone down and its retail price should have gone down accordingly, instead the price has gone up. With this new innovation especially, they really should bring the price of Tenergy down, something that...

Many exciting new products from Butterfly in 2019! They usually take their time to launch actual new products especially rubbers, so these could potentially be game changers like Tenergy has been since they first came out in 2008, or not...
