Sure. Tenergy, Dignics, Hurricane, Rakza X, whatever. Razka 7 only if you tried someone's blade similar to yours with it and went wow...

So I went to a club in Paris (Paris 13 TT or something like that). It was interesting because I got lucky that one of my old co-workers wanted to meet up so we agreed to meet (she and her husband wanted to meet my wife and family). Thankfully, she got to the location first, figured out the...

Sounds like you have identified my problem, I play a consistency game with DHS and Butterfly rubbers. I need to add more Gozo shots and do more youtube shorts...

The main point is that they are not miles apart in performance, even if they can be used by fairly advanced players. Rakza 7 may be better (with emphasis on *may* and if so, not by much). Usually, if you want to change equipment in earlier stages of learning, it is common to either change...

Sure a rubber formula can change especially when it is being re-approved. This is different from the same rubber having multiple versions at the same exact time, even if there are some similar consequences of both.

Pretty high you will get one team as Germany and China are top 2 seeds so they usually shouldn't play on the same day, but beware of MT vs WT.

I agree. Lots of Paris excitement building up. Zeio's thread also needs retitleing to include Olympics in it.

Would rather not speculate too heavily on these pics until I see the draw. Probably won't change much but the nuances might matter, especially since my current men's bronze pick is Calderano.

That doesn't sound right, you can't have two rubbers with different topsheets under the same LARC number, you could have the same topsheet under different LARC numbers though.

Ticking...

Interesting video. It's difficult for me to give the rubber a fair chance now given my switch to DHS rubbers especially Skyline TG 3, but maybe someday...

The main thing about harder sponge for some players (and I say for some players because somehow other players manage to achieve similar things using different equipment and I am not entirely sure how) is that it doesn't react as much on slower and softer contacts, but when you drive hard, you...

Hmm, you look more patient but still bringing the Gozo drive sometimes which is good shot selection. Some work to do but overall well done.

Gozo, what happened? The pips did not work on you. Did you visit a pips-charmer or something?

Generate more spin depends on what you are trying to do. Short game contril is fairly straightforward. Tenergy 05 has automatic spin and quick ball release and has a spin top end, all tied tonits lower sponge hardness. Dignics 09c will likely spin much better on higher effort shots and allow...

With 09c you can use protector sheets to keep the tack if you care about it. But I have also found that once a rubber is somewhat sticky, even the new Hurricanes, once you keep it clean and take care of it, there is always enough tack for you to tell that it isn't a fast rubber and for me, the...

Backhand for me is relatively inflexible and works best against long pushes off short or half long balls. Forehand can capture a wider range of balls once they are long or high.

So my streak of playing consecutive days ended on Friday last week at 10 days or so in a row because I didn't play on Saturday. I played briefly on Sunday against a guy who had been playing better against me recently and I told him that for the first time, he would face me as the kind of...

Depends on the playing level. Obviously you can't hit the ball exactly the same but with practice to adapt contact point and stroke contact depth, it comes together.

Topspin is the way to go, but what equipment rules does is make the game have tolerances and limits. The serve and serve return errors tend to be less in hardbat and sandpaper.
