The DF version is meant to give you more grip with the new ball. It’s safer to use the DF version.
Bear in mind in general, the Europe rubber is designed for all-rounded play.
Good analysis. I feel that he plays better against CNT players. Simply because he’s been aiming to defeat the CNT his whole life. I hope Harimoto can maintain a high level for longer in this tournament.
Our local salesperson said the star version of H3 has a grippier topsheet. But who knows. And for most club players provincial H3/TG2/TG3 is more than enough. The price is just way too high
It's still no harm to stay with your original blade so you make incremental changes. If you really want to change the entire setup, you can change your blade to any soft 5-ply blade made by reputable manufacturers.
I assume your blade Classic Offensive is the Stiga Offensive Classic. If so it’s still an excellent blade. It’s a 5-ply blade with insane amount of accuracy and spin.
Try not to upgrade rubber and blade at the same time.
You can try Xiom Vega Pro/X on FH and Vega Europe on BH.
