  1. SOFTER rubber vs. THINNER rubber for BH?

    Duke said enough. I only want to mention that you can use the [ quote] without the ="Manto76;363063" part. This took me a while to realize. So I usually let the first one be (with the userId part) and the subsequent I do without... Cheers.
  2. Question about H3Neo

    Hi Tango, long time no see. You may be right. I just wanted to be defensive, to save him from having unused booster at home :-) Maybe you remember a while ago Michael Z. tried many rubbers and then he tried H3 and said it is unplayable, or so. I won't find the post, but I still have this "scary"...
  3. Question about H3Neo

    Some people like H3, some don't. It depends on your pocket too. If you think about price at all, then I'd say, take H3 Neo commercial, possibly don't buy booster. Try the rubber, if you are sure you like it, buy booster and when done with the rubber, go up to provincial version. Here the...
  4. Interesting experience with Bluefire...

    Rakza 9 is the bounciest Rakza. Also if you look at the sponge you can see the bubbles are quite big. A friend of mine recently "stepped down", if we can call it that, from Rakza 9 to Rakza X on BH. Rakza X is slower, but not slow, imo it's like upgrade of Rakza 7, a bit more elastic and...
  5. How do you learn to sidestep properly?

    Hi langel, long time no see, sorry for the late reply. I agree it should be so. Following happened to me often enough to be recognized. I serve, my opponent does long/very long push or chop to my BH and I do not use it properly. If I'd position myself right after the serve a little bit behind...
  6. How do you learn to sidestep properly?

    Hi, by "end position" I mean where I end up after performing the stroke. I'd say if the stroke started in bad position, it won't end up in good position :-) I do remember some "moments of light", where I too managed to make space and time for myself, and at the end also ended up in OK end...
  7. How do you learn to sidestep properly?

    Perhaps a bit off-topic: Get down! When I hear side-step I always see someone doing long push to my BH and myself trying to side-step and playing FH top-spin which ends up a strange stroke, where I am not happy with just about anything, not enough speed, spin, body action, mostly played with...

    LOL. Sergey is of Russian origin. He is TSar Of Spin!
  9. DHS online store in Europe?

    Ordered some glue and booster, it was processed the same day and next day I had it at home. Fast! Of course, same country, but still...
  10. Advice for new rubbers

    Hi Dima, great. Find what you like and play with it, ignore the nay-sayers. I believe in it. The contradiction is only apparent :-)
  11. What song are u listening to now?

  12. Boosted skyline tg2 neo

    Yes. Wait 3-4 days, it will "un-curl" a bit, then glue it. If the top-sheet didn't detach, it may be all right. Use at least 3 layers of glue on the rubber and at least 2 on the blade. Put it to press after glue-ing. Don't loose hope yet :-) It seems the 3rd layer was one too many, and too...
  13. Vodak 4APC King

    Hi Bear, sometimes the question we ask is too specific and hard to answer, happens to me too. I'm sure you read manto76's review, which covers it perfectly. I myself didn't play with King, I only had it in hand and could do couple of bounces without rubbers, measure the vibration... You really...
  14. Ask an Expert - Scoobie Doo Sergey Tsos

    Scary. I hoped I can reuse my old snowboarding helmet, when you both come to the upcoming TTD meeting in Europe in summer :-), but now it seems I need something, you know, a bit more reinforced. Jokes aside, I really wish we could all meet in person one day. I think many of our differences...
  15. Ask an Expert - Scoobie Doo Sergey Tsos

    Welcome Sergey. What particular helmet and body armour you use now that DerEchte is using "The Mandalorian" blade? Thanks.
  16. Neottec x5-m, x5-s

    By chance, could you relate those 2, the X5-S and Etika 47 to the Rakza X? From what I read here I thought it could be somewhere in there too?
  17. Grade this cut

    I don't mind those extra grams due to overhang :-).
  18. Frustrated & Confused

    Rhetoric question: Is there something independent of the match result? You know, something you can always go back to ;-) Happy New Year too.
  19. Advice for new rubbers

    I hope you're right, captain ;-)
  20. SDC Handmade Blades

    Interesting! I'd swear on my H3 that the blades are 7+2 :-) Anyways, many thanks for clarifications. And for this great thread which I don't want to derail anymore...
