I find the X have durability issue. The Pro has better durability. Vega China is a H3 alternative, perfect for FH. I agree Vega Eu goes well with fast blade. Its touch and control is amazing.

Depends, do you have good technique? Are you used to hard sponge rubber? Personally I use it as it is. On my BH, 09C feels like a 37 degree H3, it's lively but powerful.

Yes my recovery suffers a bit. But every shot comes out at a much higher quality even compared to W968. I might consider a 5-ply with a hard top ply

Ma Lin Carbon was the second penhold blade I used. It has a soft feeling, pairs perfectly with DHS rubbers, great short game and nice control. Your negative experience might be due to rubber incompatibility?

I like simply pattern personally. My top picks: Darker Speed 90 A worn out W968

I've been used to tacky H3 all my life. The new H3 is only 30% as tacky as the old one. I always struggle because the shot goes way too long. However, I found a solution lately. I have a unboosted 41 provincial H3 (close to non tacky), genuine. I glue that one a 5 ply blade. Wow the feel is...

The EJ virus is highly infectious. You have to let the fever die off itself

All depends on who you idolise. That part plays a big mental role in the game for me.

Another question, when the opponent is catching up, I tend to call timeout after their first serve to disrupt their rhythm. What do you guys think? TO after their second serve? After your first serve?

09C is amazing, it’s just a tad more powerful than 37 provincial H3 with the same control

Typically you call a timeout to cool down your opponent, or to give yourself a clearer mind when you go offline for some reasons. What are other timeout tactics that you find helpful?

ZJK has been discontinued so it’s harder to find. FZD ALC has a great soft feel. I would go for FZD

Yes the Yeo has a hard top ply and is slightly thicker than offensive s

I got In average 6 points out of Alfred. So yes I will likely get 1-11 to a 70yo Ma Long 😂

My 6 year old W968 is worse than yours. Take it as a badge of honour 🤣

😆 😆 Probably our NZ national players can get 2-11 when he's 70

Xiom omega VII PRO 2.0mm is a very controllable rubber. I've played it on my BH, good feel, good control and speed. Not so sensitive to incoming spin. The Gewo nexxus el pro series are all very good. R9 is heavy

Vega pro is pretty fast. I would recommend staying with all wood. I recommend a wooden blade with good feel and a hard top ply. Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive comes to mind. Cost 37 EUR from TT11.

When Ma Long turns 70, he can walk into any club, pick up a random bat and beat anyone 11-2 haha

#80 sponge in H8-80 has larger pores, the feel is closer to ESN. H8 uses traditional small-pore sponge. Feel is closer to H3
