Read the LARC too, but my gaze was drawn toward Genesis II Spin M. It has a II in it. And a Spin. I mean... seriously, Stiga? Genesis II Spin, as opposed to Genesis Dud? How far can too far go, if I may as bold as to quote the late great Lux Interior...

That's excellent multiball feeding. :clap: :clap: :clap:

We're getting slightly off-topic there, but yes, I've looked at the recent Gewo Hype rubbers. I played contently with Vega Pro at the time, and had the opportunity of trying out a few things just when my sheets were starting to feel a bit worn. Somehow I always end up with rubbers around 47º...

I've played with both, and like them both. They are different beasts altogether. Mantra M is a fast rubber, that gives you a direct feel and a direct trajectory. Not ultimately spinny and not designed to be so. I had a lot of fun with my active blocks with it. Rozena to me felt like a...

Yes, that's what I first tried. So I now have over a 100 DHS D40+ duds, all "Ding Ning" boxed and coded XHAG. I won't buy them again.

I like the new Kinson training balls.

Ah. New are XHAG, old XCAG. Old good, new rotten.

Where should that XCAG or XDAG be? Both good and bad boxes I have are identical, labeled Q/YSRP in one spot and CD40A0 in another.

I prefer harder sponges (47º+) with less than max thickness myself. When returning to the game after not having played for a long, long time I found the newer generations of rubbers attractively alive (in comparison with the classics, Sriver and Mark V) but it took time to get used to the...

Gives me flashbacks. That kid hanging near the table, showing body language that reveals both an immense eagerness to join in as well as unsurmountably shy reluctance, it could have been me way back when. Except that it's Werner Schlager of course, who would have trounced both Waldner and...

I think I also received a bad batch. My first load played and still plays well, the second has quite a few balls that went soft (leaks?) quickly or broke during normal play.

That sounds sensible. I'll be rooting for Calderano, though; maybe it's me, but I think I've seen fascinating growth spurts in his game lately.

That is a thing of beauty that is. Please share your experiences (not just when blown away by first impressions, but also after a longer time of use). I'm rarely (if ever) tempted to switch blades, but these OSP blades, they seem so promising, and I've never really stopped longing for the...

Hi Mog, your venue sounds awesome. Your dissappointment is in expecting a higher turnout for your events? That's always disappointing, but as a note of encouragement (of sorts) I can share some experiences in organizing event targeted at the young. Turnout is always somewhat erratic, and it...

I notice Alvaro Robles, Enzo Angles, Alexander Valuch (prolly the front man) on http://www.gewo-tt.com/katalog/GEWO_Katalog/files/assets/basic-html/page-5.html .

Well, it seems a formal complaint was made at the time. There's no stopping some processes once they're started, alas. To me, that perception of loss of face of authorities surrounding the China Open withdrawals seemed very ominous, and I don't think phrases like "will be dealt with severely"...

I would not have expected Jorgic to beat Gerell, having pegged Sweden for a dark horse this time.

Rozena is way too lively and speedy for a beginner, I'd say.

Maybe I have a bad batch. I got about half a gross of the "Ding Ning" D40+, and a handful of them (so far; haven't opened all boxes yet) went to the bin within minutes. They didn't break, they dented, much like a deflated football would. Perhaps a bad batch; hoping the rest of the lot isn't...

Really not caring for it. Regardless of right or wrong, it's just not helping.
