Interesting!! The very reason I don’t want fast tensor on my bh is because I want to vary the length and pace. DHS rubber does it well. I might give H9 a try when my H8 dies

The new topsheet tends to “bite” the ball and hold it longer than the previous generation. It also allows the ball to sink into the sponge with little power.

R47 used the old topsheet. R48 uses the newer thin topsheet. R48 may potentially “feel” softer than R47. I played with R53 (also thin topsheet) which feels softer than a 39 degree H3

Commercial H3 is another story. Because the QC is so low, even in the old days you used to get some super tacky and some not so tacky.

Xu Xin is not competing in this WTTC and unlikely in any major event. But he has not officially retired yet. Rumours in China said he is stepping up in the coaching role.

Don't get me wrong tho, after the oxidation it feels really pleasant just like T64. The clicking sound of the #80 sponge becomes more obvious.

In China people say the topsheet is extremely thin, thus brittle. I guess that gives you the incredible feel. There are some reviews in Japanese but don't understand 😓

In major events such as the Olympic they used multiple cameras, especially in replay. I guess it all depends on the budget of the event. See the Mens final below (look at the third point), they used a high-angle camera but replay using a lower-angle camera

A few key points here: TPB relies on the index and mid fingers. All other fingers must be relaxed Contact as early as possible Utilise your arm to push Turn your torso to add more force, hence your left foot should be in front of your right foot (if you play with your right hand)

That's why I asked the original question - ABS balls favour BH player, naturally outer ALC blades should dominate (if not takes over) the market.

If you like the traditional tacky Hurricane, stockpile the old versions because DHS no longer produces the old tacky version anymore.

H3 is such a complex topic. I've used H3, TG3 and TG2 in different variants since for decades. I only refer to the Neo version only. Non-Neo versions are harder to tell.

I had the same issue. The newer H3 (half tacky) tend to have this issue. The old very tacky H3 tends not to have this issue. I have Rev Rejuvenator, it doesn’t work.

I prefer harder H8 on my BH. I use H8 at 39 degree. It’s a lot more consistent than my H8-80 37. H8-80 topsheet gets oxidised very quickly and lost its tack. It almost became a T64 kind of feeling. The sponge feels really good but too fast for me

I am not sure if DHS signed them up. But Ma Long with double grand slams definitely has the influence in the national team.

I have played both H8 regular and H8-80. H8-80 is far lighter due to the porous sponge. But my H8-80 topsheet gets oxidised very quickly after two weeks In contrast, my regular H8 is fresh as new after a month of use

Filus had a tough win 4:3 against Hiroto the day before. No coach at the age of 34 he pulled a miraculous comeback. So admirable 👍👍

I notice some players in the CNT have switched from Butterfly to W968 - Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun. Sun Yusha and Wang Yidi in the women’s team are also using W968. I thought with the ABS ball BH speed has become the foremost strength in the sport? Hence w968 (designed for the FH dominant play...

It doesn’t refer to the handle only. They also have the JPPTA mark which reflects Japan’s extremely strict QC standard.
