  1. Yasaka Rakza Z vs Victas V>15 Sticky

    This really depends on the blade you are using. On an innerforce blade (like the w968 i used with RZEH and LAC) the rubbers felt more similar than on the Nittaku Acoustic that i have tried them on. The throw is a little different but nothing you can not get accustomed to. RZEH to RZ has a...
  2. Yasaka Rakza Z vs Victas V>15 Sticky

    unfortunately i don't have the v>15 sticky glued to a blade anymore, so i had to demonstrate what i am talking about without blade vs a rakza Z. first is a bounce test where you can clearly see that there is no dampening/slow down effect for the short game visible on the v>15 sticky (as is true...
  3. Yasaka Rakza Z vs Victas V>15 Sticky

    this is the issue with "internet reviews" and marketing propaganda. dont't be afraid of the V>15 sticky because it is more of a tensor than the Rakza Z. V>15 Sticky is not really sticky but rather as "tacky" as most ESN hybrids(Andro Nuzn, Xiom Vega Pro Hybrid) that were released lately. TLDR...
  4. Backhand (banana) flicks on double's receive

    for pendulum serve receives you would go with the spin if you banana, so that would make it easier and the spin not that reactive. against tomahawk or backhand serves it would be against the spin but these you wanna forhand flick or loop anyways
  5. Hybrid rubbers with the most balanced properties

    you can really only call Nuzn a hybrid if you never played anything chinese. What does Nuzn really bring from the chinese aspect ? Stickiness ? no Dampening on the short game ? no great spin ? debatable (but surely less than many chinese rubbers) Nuzn to me is really just a new edition of...
  6. My Race Tournaments in Germany

    i mentioned it a few years ago, but i think the style you describe and want to play should be pretty close to vadim anca who is a little taller than you but shows a very aggressive gung ho style of play
  7. My Race Tournaments in Germany

    unfortunately the turnierlizenz is mandatory. You can either buy that license for a year (which will auto renew) or only for this very event. both ways are quite cheap (i think it was kinda 6 € for one event or 9€ for the whole year or something). When i bought it i got some balls for free with...
  8. My Race Tournaments in Germany

    If you dont have anything better to do on the 4th and 5th of april, you can travel to our easter tournament. There are two days where you could participate in two classes at least. on the first day from 12:00 the competition until 1500 TTR (sadly this only takes QTTR which you have below...
  9. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    Forehand and backhand flicks I never even dared to attempt in a match while playing HL5 with rubbers harder than 50° ESN hardness it would just feel like the only feedback I got from certain techniques is visual. I can see if I flick over the table or into the net, but I could not associate the...
  10. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    i think for most regular beginners it is true to say that they dont have a real coach. By that i mean somebody that actually takes care that the technique is sound. We got somebody from youth just coming up to the senior league and he does play chinese rubbers H3 on his blade. Thing is whatever...
  11. Any recommendations on XIOM equipment

    Of you are coming from a all wood blade, the best upgrade would be the Hayabusa ZL Pro which is basically a xiom HAL just with inner construction. It is not that hard so the adjustment will not be that harsh but it still provides more gears with that artificial fiber inner layer
  12. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    By that very logic dignics 09c might also be the reason these amatdurs dont progress and stay lower league hobby players that dont learn proper technique
  13. V>15 Sticky: Finally !!

    Most ESN hybrid have mediocre durability at best. Notable exception is yasaka Rakza Z
  14. Something like between Rakza Z and Rakza Z extra hard

    Why would you need to boost it? rakza Z Extra Hard has the same top sheet like Rakza Z and is 53° hardness without boosting. On top of it RZEH is off course quite faster than Rakza Z for anybody not suffering from muscle atrophy. In the end it seems to boil down to your physique if you think...
  15. Something like between Rakza Z and Rakza Z extra hard

    i dont get it. that is what Rakza Z Extra Hard is for and it has that "more" hardness that you are searching for.
  16. Something like between Rakza Z and Rakza Z extra hard

    I dont know about the weight, but in terms of hardness and stickiness and general feel my battle 3 °39 is pretty close
  17. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    i can tell you that indeed the Loki Arthur China (Orange Package) is very close in behaviour to Yasaka Rakza Z Extra Hard, but let's be honest. If you say "ESN Hybrid" you are not thinking about Rakza Z EH but rather something like Tibhar Hybrid MK and the like
  18. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    Then try the nuzn 45. It is softer than the g-1 and still quite linear with not too much catapult at least that is what they say
  19. Nittaku Fastarc G1 vs Butterfly Glayzer

    Sry, i would not dare to recollect what i experienced more than a year ago
  20. Playing in cold halls

    Lol, i highly doubt any top player would play in temperatures below 15° C, but hey.. whatever makes you feel good with your below elementary school fantasy physics.
