I think it depends on what you prefer. Yes, objectively harder rubbers are "easier" to receive some serves with (think slow moving high spin), but it is more demanding on bat angle and force on contact.

You're better off training short serves specifically, particularly under match situations and whatnot. Your serves will likely still drift long with a slower blade if you're tense. If anything, it'd decrease your percentage on getting short serves across the net.

FH: H3 Rozena Jupiter 2 BH: Rozena Factive Ventus Speed

They have that new presto rubber (new version is called upgrade or something). Meant to compete against T05 and T64

Be like Samsonov. Keep a few around. Change with opponents or with form.

T10, T9 are both faster

Yinhe pro feeling

Fantastic stuff! Hahaha hoping one day my own team will become that strong :p

Yeah, leave it under a pile of books for a good 15-30 min before cutting the rubber, it tends to give a better glue job.

As a fluent speaker myself, I find this notion of "cho" being corrupted by so called western influences laughable. Mate, from LGL to WLQ to WH, I haven't heard one of them say "qiu". At the end of the day it's a celebratory outburst, who cares what is said?

How does the HRT blade compare to the Sword HD997? They're both similarly and seem to be of approximate quality :)

Answered.

I'm thinking of using thinner/softer rubbers to reduce some head heaviness. For context I enjoy double Chinese rubbers.

Maybe something from that Hexer grip line...matching the hardness, say either the grip or the powergrip SFX

So the Mantra would be closer to Rozena then?

I've used the Jupiter 2 in 39 degrees for quite some time now too, it plays like a softer, easier to use hurricane rubber. It reminds me never to buy hurricane again haha. The max tense technology seems to be just softer topsheet as mentioned, and some factory tuning. 3 months seem like a long...

Depends on depth of contact really. It's not a top sheet only spin, if that makes sense. I guess it must be since my opponents has trouble blocking my opening loops.

I'll weigh in and reiterate Goldarc 5. It's very linear and none of that unwanted tensor bounciness.

Out of curiosity and perspective, what ARE you using now NL?

Like above, it depends on what level you are and what level you are playing against. Your setup can be played to a very high level. An even harder rubber may be even more difficult to access the high gears if you do not compress the sponge enough. A faster blade is definitely an easier fix...
