I think I brush the ball and make thin contact, however unless using tacky rubbers, I prefer the feel of softer rubbers. eg 05fx prefered to 05! Hurricane I prefer 40 degree to 39 degree This does not seem to make sense! Surely if i brush well I could use harder varieties. Shall I post some...

A 5 ply and 7 ply with Koto outer bh and Limba outer fh, both around 6.2mm Hopefully to get the balance of hardness and stiffness for mid/short pips on bh and Topspin access on Fh The 5 ply has spruce medial. They look amazing!

Beautiful blades from Sergio SDC!

I think Black Tenergy 05fx is spinnier than red when new? What do you think? Are other Tenergys the same?

The hard thing for me will be trying it for long enough and not giving up after 1 erratic result or bad night!

Hi as many know I have largely used Tenergy 05fx for years. Is it time to wear my big boy pants and use Tenergy 05 in Max? 05fx = easy access to spin, very spinny forehand loops, decent drives. bouncy on serve return, the slightest mis read exaggerated to hell very inconsistent on blocking or...

Does anyone else have one of these, I really want a spare flare?

Should I forget about returning tricky serves and use reversed rubbers both sides like in this video.

does anyone have a flared tibhar akkad they would sell me please

I have tried a sheet of this (Thanks Andy)! It is the first time I have ever been impressed with a non tenergy or Hurricane rubber on the forehand. Coming from 05fx! It feels great even in 2mm on my fh, feels grippy and spinny. Definitely less reactive than 05fx and less unpredictable. I...

I have just bough 2 Tibhar Force Pro Blue. 88 and 89g Frequency of 1372khz and 1399khz Now I don't remember the older ones having a frequency reading that high. Sure last one I measured was lower than 1250khz a few years ago.

Possibly the wittiest post ever on TTD! Long Live hipnotic!

Maybe I should try it. It will have filthy Long Pips on the backhand though!

I love Xu Xin, best pro to watch of last 50 years! So inventive!

Can you get a decent spinny loop with a TSP balsa 4.5? Generally thicker balsa blades are awful for looping! Maybe the thinner ones flex a little for looping?

Hi imo the abs ball has pretty much made the mid pimple i use obsolete, the reduced spin in the game and speed just means I have to actually wallop the ball to win a point. my pips are basically ineffective and just play like a really rubbish reversed, I even played someone the other day who...

No BRS I flog them!

Well done Sam! You really are the man!

As I have not posted for quite a while and have stopped being an EJ, I thought I would put up a new post! I have just spent about 6 months with same blade and rubbers. Tibhar Akkad, Hurricane 40degree Provincial Neo (orange sponge) and Kieler 1.5 I have been playing fairly consistently and...
