  1. Andro NUZN50 as faster alternative of Fastarc G-1?

    Thanks for the review. How is the service receive? When returning slow spiny service, is the brushing is effective as with H3 or just soft hand is enough, like with G1?
  2. Equipment upgrade for intermediate player

    What do you like and dislike about T88 for BH? Yinhe Moon 12 is not sticky rubber with a good price/performance ratio. Sticky options: DHS H3N OS, 729 Brocken Boundaries (low throw 50-52 degrees).
  3. Dr Neubauer Matador Titan

    See the pictures in post 12. Taxalium is thicker and blue-ish. Titanium mesh is gray.
  4. 5ply to 5+2 inner construction

    Spinlord Ultra Carbon, the speed is Off-.
  5. Xiom Vega China VM Review

    Finding similarities between the new XVC and J&H Z52.5. Same DNA, and plays far away from H3. Never played with the tacky C line, which is probably even closer to XVC.

    I The edges are bad sight, especially at that price. Have Goriki Danshi, which has less porous surface and is more resistant to nail pressure. Dr. N Matador Titan and Matador Texa Carbon are even harder. It seems like the walnut is pressed or/and threaded with chemicals. I can't leave a dent...

    Goriki Super Drive, 95.3g, 1340Hz, 6.98mm +/-0.01mm, with sharp edges. Bouncing the ball on a naked blade feels solid, with very good balance and tamed springiness. The EJ bias is strong here :LOL: The top layers are made from low density walnut, which is going in hard limba territory.
  8. New Victas Long Pimples?

    Softer sponge 47.5 degrees and more offensive capabilities. P6V is close to SP than MP.
  9. BEST MEDIUM PIPS for both chopping and attacking?

    First impressions from P2V 1mm on BH, blade Sword Razor. Not as spiny as P3V and P3aV, the same hard dampening sponge, better block, feels slow, slower than SDK. I was able to produce spin variation only on services, Ovcharov style. There is some sinking effect, but it requires extra effort for...
  10. Darker Speed 90 together with Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 turbo Orange 1.6mm

    One of my setups is with Masamune 3ply hinoki and VS>401 1.5mm on BH. The combination works well, I can feel the blade and keep the speed manageable. Tried Donic Slice CS at 1.5mm but don't like the tendency of increased throw angle at harder hits.
  11. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    I am using durometer on multiple points, from the sponge side. Bounsing test is subjective. After treatment the rubber is more consistent across the surface. My impressions are mostly on slow, middle to hard rubbers.
  12. Andro NUZN50 as faster alternative of Fastarc G-1?

    PLS, write some impressions and comparisons with G1.
  13. Andro NUZN50 as faster alternative of Fastarc G-1?

    Mantra Pro is described as boosted G1. XH is noticeably faster, but more difficult to engage. The spin is similar, low from the modern point of view. Less spiny than Rozena, D05 or NUZN. But it is also less influenced by the opponent's spin. Personally, I like Mantra Pro XH for offense purposes...
  14. Andro NUZN50 as faster alternative of Fastarc G-1?

    Stiga Mantra Pro XH is faster G1.
  15. Which ESN (or Jap) rubber is closest to H3 orange provincial (non NEO)?

    Nothing in common. Matra Pro XH is much faster, not as spiny and plays completely different. Andro Chintac is the closest ESN rubber to H3 OS. Not so durable, easier for looping.
  16. 3 New Andro Rubbers

    4 hours with chintac 52.5 and I can tell is not bad rubber, just too pricey for what is offering. The spin is very high, better than H3 in the summer heat. Speed is a bit higher than slightly boosted H3, but lower than XVC. Short game is better than XVC, but worse than H3, especially service...
  17. Tensor vs Hybrid rubbers

    Spend too much time with tensors. I can blame couches and TT trends, but it was my fault. T05, Xiom Omega V, R45 - too soft, too bouncy, or both. Tensors = high unforced errors. I need to be stuck with limited numbers of strikes, play only in attack and be active. Just rubbers for a specific...
  18. Post your latest EJ purchase

    I am two clicks away from buying it. Can you share some impressions and comparisons with other blades?
  19. Which ESN (or Jap) rubber is closest to H3 orange provincial (non NEO)?

    Sueke Phantom Attack II, only in black. The factory boost is gone after a month. After that need some juse. Andro Chintac has some similarities with H3, but is too expensive for wat is offering, IMO.
  20. Inner carbon blades?

    Spinlord Ultra Carbon, limba top, koto, carbon, ayous core. I have the def variant and like it. The speed is Off-, control and stability are excellent.
