  1. Zyre 03

    Review by 'dprsspins' on item 'Zyre 03'

    2.5mm review The good; The best thing about this rubber is the confidence it gives me to win with outright speed drives or powerloops from mid distance or further. Even at the short game, if the ball is returned to me just a little high, it's the end for the opponent. This rubber wants to...
  2. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    I owned and used the Glayzer09C for a season, and I've play tested many Dignics09C's in my club. I'm not 100% sure if the topsheet is similar between the two, but one thing I felt when I touched the surface of both rubbers; Glayzer09C topsheet is softer, mushier, and less tackier than...
  3. What is the closest ESN equivalent to Spring Sponge nowadays?

    Avid user of butterfly myself, and also tested a myriad of other brands, I've unfortunately need to say also; butterfly feel is unique and hard to replicate. Their unique grippy gummy topsheet with spring sponge is just different. Elastic air capsule spring sponge with that natural rubber gummy...
  4. Butterfly Zyre 03 longevity?

    Forehand Zyre-03 2.5mm. 3 and a half months of playing 5-6 sessions per week consisting of 2 hours ++ multiball, matches, rallies and practice with coaches and advanced players that can really loop the ball hard, in a humid sweaty environment. I brush hard and block a lot with this rubber. I...
  5. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    Played with a Rozena for the past month on outer carbon backhand. Also sometimes played G1 backhand on my spare blade, an inner carbon. Now, I failed to resist the temptation and circled back to Glayzer on the outer carbon backhand. I must say, after getting used to the Rozena and G1, the...
  6. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    G09C is playable on forehand of a faster blade, at least OFF, where the swing arc is wide enough to generate good brushing and acceleration. I guess that's possible on backhand too but because I usually play backhand strokes quick and snappy, and mostly on the reactive side, where I block drives...
  7. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    What oil do you use to boost the G09C? How many layers? Haifu Seamoon? Black? Interesting though, might give it a try.
  8. Tensor vs Hybrid rubbers

    Started learning with tensors, ventured into Chinese, then hybrids, and then back to tensors as I started joining my first competitions. Don't know if I'll ever circle back to hybrids but no plans to do so. Reasoning; it boils down to playstyle and hand feel, hybrids are loop monsters and toxic...
  9. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    Reviving thread because I've used both Glayzer and Glayzer09C on inner and outer carbons for both forehand and backhand. Just my 2 cents. The non-tacky Butterfly Glayzer is decent. It has that unique butterfly clicky feel, so I won't say rubbers like Vega X or Fastarc G1 is a replacement unless...

  11. Review: Sanwei Froster Pro

    Yinhe Pro 01 is decent, and is very good if you factor in the price. I used a Yinhe Pro 01 for 6 months, testing all manner of rubbers on it. I personally enjoyed using it with tacky chinese like Yinhe Jupiter 3 Asia or a boosted Hurricane 3 Neo. Downside is it's quite muted, but upside is it's...
  12. Review: Sanwei Froster Pro

    That's a real good list, with comparable hand feel. Thanks. Then I guess if I were to choose one (since I already have a premium butterfly inner carbon), I'd go for the PBO blades. Sanwei blades are usually budget friendly but their Froster blade lineup is surprisingly quite pricey. I was...

  14. Butterfly Dimitrij Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC Review

    I use the Ovtcharov as my main blade. To me the Ovtcharov is a spin demon. Coming from an outer carbon blade to this blade improves my spin generation so much. It's touch is nuanced, I can feel the ball on the blade so well and it aids my control a lot regardless spinny open ups, close to table...
  15. Outer Carbon or Inner Carbon?

    Joola has some pretty modern crisp blades. When I was browsing for the JOOLA ZQH, I came across the Tezzo line, and the Tezzo Spartan in particular attracted me. Anyone has experience with this blade?
  16. Yasaka Hunter blade series

    Hi, any review on the Hunter Speed? Is it crisp and fast? How is it's spin and control? Considering this Yasaka Hunter Speed as a Viscaria alternative but I don't need it to feel exactly like a Viscaria.
  17. Outer Carbon or Inner Carbon?

    Because I already have some premium blades, I'm looking at slightly more budget options. I don't need the option to be very budget, like Chinese cheap, but it's welcomed. I am also open to consider other brands.
  18. Review: Sanwei Froster Pro

    Nice review on the blade. I was seriously considering one as an addition to my outer carbon collection. I have a Yinhe Pro 01, and while I think it's good and played quite like a Viscaria performance wise, it lacked the crisp, crack-vibration feeling of the Viscaria that I loved, and felt more...
  19. Outer Carbon or Inner Carbon?

    I also had the opportunity to try many different outer carbon blades, but NOT Hinoki carbons. For some reason Hinoki carbon blades aren't too popular in my club. But based on your description on Stuor Nobilis and regarding how Hinoki muted the crisp feedback, it might not be for me. I do have...
  20. Glayzer vs Dignics 05

    Glayzer is a special rubber for me. I started off as a pure beginner with Glayzer on the 5 ply Falcima, learning basic strokes. And now, on the Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC, I pull sick topspins and pretty quick drives with the Glayzer. I am looking for an upgrade since Ive been using this rubber...
