  1. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    Those blades are too soft if you want to improve your backhand. You can consider these: Yasaka Ma Lin Extra (harder walnut top ply than YSC and YSE) Stiga Intensity DHS Hao 2 All of these have hard top ply (faster BH) but high flex (high spin). All of them have clear feedback so improve your...

    FZD at Taylor Swift concert Some said FZD's spent most his energy at the concert 🎶 😂😂
  3. Skyline TG2 Alternatives

    Have you played the old Skyline 2? How does the tack of Rxton 5 Pro compare to it?
  4. Victas Triple Double Extra & Triple Extra Rubbers

    Coming from old H3 and TG2, not a single topsheet out there can replace the old super tacky H3 and TG2 except TDE. It's personal statement really. Of course for people who are used to non or little tacky rubber, there are many better options out there
  5. Skyline TG2 Alternatives

    Out of all the rubbers out there, Victas TDE is probably the closest.

    We can grow the sample size by compiling all their matches 😆
  7. Victas Triple Double Extra & Triple Extra Rubbers

    Don't buy the Nittaku H3. I used it back in 2022, loved the tackiness. The last sheet I bought in 2023 was non-tacky 😤. I always bought it from TT11 so no authenticity issue. I suspect DHS controls the tophseet formula, Nittaku has no control over the tackiness of the topsheet. TDE is still...

    Akula's performance is amazing for her age 👍 WMY has proven that she's just as dependable as the top 2

  10. Beginner Friendly Hybrid Rubber

    Low budget: H3 37-38 degree Dianchi D 37-38 degree TG3 37-38 degree Higher budget Tibhar K1 Tibhar K1 plus and so on . . . . way too many
  11. Skyline TG2 Alternatives

    I still have 1 last old H3 sheet 🥲 But I've been playing the new H3 (half tacky) on a very slow 5-ply. It works out just like the old day.
  12. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    I had exactly the same problem in short game when playing with R53. BUT, now I have H3 41 on my FH, short game is a breeze, it’s so low and spinny. Because the 41 blue sponge is so powerful (more powerful than R53) I can power loop from mid distance. My 5-ply is only 5.5mm
  13. Skyline TG2 Alternatives

    Used to be a big fan of Skyline 2 as well. DHS has made the new H3, Skyline 2 and Skyline 3 non tacky. Unfortunately there's no alternative. I've tried BF 2 blue sponge, D09C, Gewo Codex, Victas TDE, Tibhar K1 and K1 plus, K3, Dianchi D and Nittaku H3. None can replace the hard "dead", but...
  14. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    Good point. How I beat my mate is that I was able to vary my shots very well. I lob and counterloop and he just couldn't beat me in that aspects. When I played another two opponents later, it almost makes no difference in 1 but better with the other. The one with no difference has much better...
  15. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    I've downgraded from my W968 to a 5.5mm Stiga Ulf Carlsson. You know what, my mate always beat me 3-0 or 3-1 when I used W968. I beat him 3 matches yesterday with my all wood Stiga blade. I've used other 5-ply which feels really hollow and empty when looping from mid distance. My suggestion...
  16. Need help with DHS Hurricane 3

    I've used H8 and H8-80 on bh. Both are pretty good. If the pre-2019 H3 has a tack of 100, my H80 was probably 85 tacky. The current H3 is 30 tacky and D09C is probably 35-40
  17. Need help with DHS Hurricane 3

    I spent $40USD on a blue sponge Skyline 2, thinking it would turn up as tacky as it used to be. It turned out slippery and only a little tacky 😤 😤 😤
  18. Need help with DHS Hurricane 3

    On Prince of TT, ttnpp and Prott.vip, you can choose the hardness of H3. The lower the hardness, the lighter the rubber. Bear in mind, commercial H3 can vary in weight due to lower QC. In my recent experience, commercial H3 tends to skid due to the poorly made topsheet. My provincial H3...
  19. Need help with DHS Hurricane 3

    DHS tries to make the topsheet less tacky = higher speed
  20. Need help with DHS Hurricane 3

    TG2, TG3 and H3 have all changed to almost none tacky. My latest purchase Nov 2023 has confirmed that. H8 might be next tbh. The insane spin game of DHS is almost gone.
