Also Gewo are going the all-wood route with the Robles and Majoros OFF (both 7-ply), based on the marketing it seems Robles is using his but I am not sure about Majoros? I didn't know much about either of them, if I am honest. On this picture from last year it looks like a Balsa Carbon...

There you go.

H-3-9, according to the weblink I posted (just select the other players). A beauty, for sure. I can't fit the image here but you can see the plies zooming in: https://d3mjm6zw6cr45s.cloudfront.net/2017/05/imgpsh_fullsize.jpg

Both French players do (Lebesson with FX-P!?). Also @Garrison, Samsanov does play the fpbe. http://www.tibhar.com/en/promotion/emmanuel-lebesson/#4966 Edit: Samsanov Alpha also showing up in the list, and props to Pletea with the 3-ply hinoki!

Lebesson as well, I think.

For all that's been said about physical endurance and the relative lesser need when compared to other sports, I am also wondering: what about improving mental activity and focus, removing self-doubt, etc.? It is a genuine question, most likely we'd be talking about other kinds of drugs but it'd...

Any kind of irony here by chance? Everybody has been saying "to each their own" and "go for it", I don't see where you're getting at.

I was going to say before getting to your last post, he's looked pretty tired and with a different kind of spark in his eyes, in the last few months. By all means I didn't even know he had become a father so more power (and congrats!) to him, if that's the only reason. Evident signs of stress...

This stuff really gets to your brain - now I can't stop picturing you, hitting away with your Tapatalk phone and a fresh Donic rubber glued onto it. Nurses, please!

Ok, thanks. As usual, the fact I should stay away from it feels like a good reason to try it! Can't do just now but it's high on the list.

Hi, Would you include the Rasanter in this list? Also, from what you say Rhyzer 43 is faster than MX-P (with Z1 in between) but how does that feel? I mean, is it still somewhat linear /predictable in spite of the speed and relatively soft sponge? I know you've said it "requires skills", but...

By the way @thomas, I was referring to Franche-Comté and the Northern bits of it in particular. Never been famed for its being light years ahead of everyone else, although of course that's something of a draw to it.

Indeed. In smaller clubs in the East (my only experience) some people haven't even tried the plastic ones. Training and matches invariably with celluloid, people asking if I liked "the new balls", which felt like being in a different dimension as the debate has got so old elsewhere. Of course...

Same situation in France, I guess there might be others.

Wow, that looks really good. The thin upper plies are nice and even, great look throughout with the cedar core, too.

Nice! Could we have a side shot?

Wow, solid prize fund.

Funny how Paul is competitive at all times, even during a rubber review! No secret on how to get there... Nice video, also how you use more direct comparisons and (when possible) objective comments, compared to some of the older ones. The one for the Rozena was really good, too.

Just saw it's either 2.0 or Max. Still glad to hear about the 2.0mm, if you've tried it.

Hi, how do you find the short game with the 43? And do you think it can still be reasonably easy to play with an OFF-ish blade, maybe in reduced sponge? I'd be interested if people had feedback regarding these new thin topsheet rubbers, coupled with thin sponges (say 1.9, maybe even less for...
