I know! Side note: Very little difference in speed and over all feeling with different sponge thicknesses for the G1. Perhaps its the firm topsheet. The tenergies are much more different in this regard.

A pity. Tenergies still around though.

My experience Viscaria vs HALC - Differences are a lot less than one might think reading forums like these. Harimoto is slightly flexier than Viscaria. Makes open up forehand loops easier but it also gives a somewhat non-linear forehand behaviour. I also found myself backhand blocking into the...

Agree with NDH. But since I’ve tried all three within the last year - the Freitas is a bit stiffer than the other two. Boll and Freitas a little head heavier than the Viscaria. If you like squarish ST handles, the Boll is really nice. But again - listen to NDH, the adaption from one to any...

Looks like the handle is longer than regular butterfly blades. Perhaps it's just that?

Try to push the ball deep into opponents forehand or move your feet and make a forehand loop.

The old Joola Tango PS used to be tacky for a long time. My experience is that sponges of ESN rubbers dies before the top sheets wears out.

Informative. Balance point should always be given!

Thanks for this great answer! I'm sure you are right about everything. I (and I guess others) have also been thinking about the modern, heavy rubbers and why manufacturers do not make blades to compensate for this. Smaller heads and/or heavier, longer handles should have a customer base.

Seal the blade?

But the wrb-, sensoblades and such were a way to move the center of mass right? And there is sort of a trend right now to have bigger head blades and that is also about getting them more head heavy, right? So it cant be all about total mass of the blade.

Are they doung this just to reduce weight or is there someting else as well? Seems like a lot of work.

I believe they say that this ALX is slightly stiffer than this TMXi.

Why, oh why?

Pretty sure basketball balls are the ones you can buy in a store even in pro games. Or footballs. These analogies doesn't give anything. Tiger might be picky but John Daly was drunk all the time...

I think they do. Very much. But its just speculation of course. Mainly based on what people (myself included!)buy now. Way to fast and expensive equipment just becauce it is what the best players in the world use. I mean, people pay more for Fan Zs blade than a Viscaria (which from the start is...

Like Cybershapes, popular DHS-blades and a couple of relatively new Butterflies. It's a trend. We bitter old men with large hands and sore elbows have nowhere to go... The ALX Lite seems fine though. As long as its not light because of abnormally hollow handle.

Still makes no sense budiness wise. People will pay for what the pros have. And also - quite a few of players are on a level that is almost pro.

But why would they not sell it to the public? Makes no sense.

Old and long thread. Sorry for digging it up but… how is the balance of the ALX? Is it on the head heavy side or more to the handle? From what I’ve read the FL handle is pretty much like the Viscarias size wise. Perhaps not that head heavy then?
