Really nice looking blade Sergio. (y)

If you play controlled offensive, both rubbers are a safe bet. Used on an ALL+ blade, you won't have a speed-monster and it may lack in speed away from the table. You also won't have the massive (potential!) spin of Tenergy, Dignics or MX-.. , but you will be able to keep the ball on the table...

Disappointed that Xiom ignored traditional red color. Call me old-school, but I want my rubbers red & black.

Heavy topspin comes with proper technique. If you don't have the technique to fully optimize the spin capabilities of an high end rubber, it doesn't make sense using it. Furthermore, in many cases, level of spin works both ways: rubbers with high spin capabilities are also more sensitive for...

Although still happy with Hybrid MK, decided to give Tronix ACC a try. Also going to try out a new blade: ZX Gear IN

What is the weight of your current blade? If you like the overall feeling of the blade, you should try one with less weight. A 90gr viscaria is faster compared to an 81gr viscaria. A lighter version viscaria does provide more flex, but would still offer the crispy feeling you prefer. Inner...

Most 5 ply wood blade will provide more flex indeed. The ALC layer makes an inner-type blade stiffer. For topspin, 5ply wood is great as it has more flex, but an inner-type blade provides a larger sweet spot. When you are used to blades with ALC, a 5 ply wood might feel a bit uncontrolled for...

Feeling of MK is softer compared to GT for sure. In my opinion, MK is the softer, easier to engage and easier to control version of K3. Wouldn't K3 be more in line with GT?

Bigger head size = bigger sweet spot However, bigger head size also creates more air resistance. If this is going to be a trend, we will soon be back to the old-school JO Shape ;) :P

At first, I didn't like MK on BH. In general, FH topspin is more powerful with more arm movement compared to BH topspin. Due to lack of catapult of MK and my BH topspin relies much on wrist movement, I had issues lifting the ball and(!) putting a lot of topspin in the ball. Personally, I think...

Handle design apart (that's individual) , but I'm surprised about the head size. For an attacker blade, it's a rather large head size.

Trip to memory lane! 38mm, Rosskopf Fire with Samba both sides. 1hr before match glued wet, just before match 2 layers dry. Sound machine!

Good question and I indeed replaced Hexer Grip with the Hybrid MK. First time I tried it, I missed to catapult on my BH. Hexer Grip already has less catapult compared to Rasanter/Evolution, but still more than Hybrik MK. However, I really enjoy MK on FH and wanted to give MK on BH another try...

Nah...need red on FH as my compulsive neurotic innerself doesn't accept otherwise ;) But I'm okay with 60-65hrs of decent longevity of a rubber.

Quick word on the longevity/quality of the Hybrid MK. Used the red rubber on my FH for about 65hrs and black on BH about 35hrs. Reglued multiple times using rev3 and removed glue from sponge several times (normally after glueing 3 times). Sponge is still looking good. Both rubbers in 2.0mm by...

Listed hardness in degrees refers to the sponge. Overall feeling of the rubber is greatly impacted by the hardness of the topsheet. Topsheet of Bluegrip S1 is much softer compared to topsheet Glayzer 09C and as a result, the overall feeling of the S1 is softer with a longer hold of the ball...

I have about 8 different Inner ALC blades currently (really need to start selling some stuff actually), so I do know how an Inner ALC blade feels like. I also know that the blade doesn't determine the curve/throw of the ball but the rubber is. The characteristics of a blade determine rebound...

uhm...doing really my best to understand this.....sorry, I really tried. uhm, wait .... wut?! ....that is....groovy Still made me smile though :)
