Innerforce blade with G-1 is the way for sure. On w968 G-1 is amazing, on outer carbon it's kinda meh, I never tried it on all wood.

Not sure where this topic is evolving but based on the title I would like to add Yinhe Apollo topsheet totally feels like a sticky G-1. In fact, Apollo 3 feels like a sticky G-1 on backhand with all of the good properties of G-1 + sticky. I love G-1 a lot, so Apollo is great fun to play with it...

With Hurricane Turbo blue you already have a very head heavy racket. If you have an extremely hollowed handle too. Aiya~

You are lucky with 57g turbo blue. Mine was 65g cut. Uncut weight is around 85g🤕 It's a good rubber for body building tho, or like I recommended before if someone uses light pips on BH. Potentially if someone is a JPEN player. 🌚 If it was 57g cut I would suck my complaints up and use it for...

That's a valid question. If the Nittaku were more consistent quality and more uniform in weight then it could be a good pick for some. DHS 8-80 can be 48g cut to 58g cut. For someone's BH rubber that is just unreliable. If Nittaku version would solve this issue then I think it's worthy to buy...

DHS Ma Long 5 or for better quality W968. You're lucky since after Viscaria I think the Innerforce ALC structure is the 2nd most popular.

B3 purple doesn't need any boost. I think the Tiger 4 also doesn't need. Purple one is quite like a hybrid. Or like an LAC with B3 topsheet.

Actually I think Yu Heyi used H3BS on his FH and not B3. It's disappointing for sure. So you are not wrong at all with your assumption. B3 Tiger 4 and Purple don't stink that much, so they are OK. I wouldn't say they smell nice either but they clap H3 and many Chinese rubbers by smell. I think...

I have tried probably 100 blades with different handles, be it FL, AN, or ST. Sorry for penhold players I will just add my comment on that, I wish every manufacturer gave you more choices. From my distant ovjective stance I think penace is the nicest but hey feel free to agree or disagree...

The Battle 3 purple I think is very suitable for BH. I will get a red sheet in 38deg. The 40 is also suitable for BH and also for FH but I feel like it has a really clean arc. The Tiger 4 version is more quirky, maybe faster too? I mean not as just plain base bounce but once you start to hit...

Battle 3 Tiger 4 (Discovery)... Not really sure about the name of it. Package looks like this: First I tried it on my Ice Cream AZX Pro blade and it felt a bit dull if I need to be honest. I didn't feel the internal energy etc etc it has written over it, felt like a H3 orange out of the pack...

Fastarc G-1, Donic Baracuda, Rozena, Xiom Vega Europe, Stiga Mantra Control, Victas Swat Spin. I guess the Swat Spin is a pretty good option, these new Japanese (non butterfly) made rubbers are very nice and easy to use.

I don't know about it to be honest, but looking at pics it's another W968 or Ma Long 5 clone. Should be pretty suitable for spinny open ups. I'm not entirely sure but I think it will be more suitable than Clipper CR since it's less stiff and it's probably softer than the "CR" Clipper. I'm also...

What shocks me is the ANTA branded Mizuno Wave Drive shoes. It's really confusing to be honest unless ANTA is the manufacturer for Mizuno but I don't think so. (or they are not original ANTA shoes, which would surprise me less)

I think it's very simple what is going on. The "fishing line" is adjusting over time during wear, and as it readjusts, it becomes loose since you might have fitted the shoe differently than before. Just tighten it a few clicks and done. This is a 3 second task after a 5 minute wear. Hardly any...

FZD so nice, giving a handycap to others.

Interesting, some Chinese are switching to ESN rubbers. Maybe Lin Gaoyuan was the first, then Zhou Qihao now Xiang Peng and Chen Yuanyu.

Ahhh got you now. Fair enough. Also why am I not surprised the Japanese have thought of this kind of solution either. I'm not entirely sure but I think they also "grow" the square melon and they had the clear (transparent) coke too. And I suppose these are the less weird stuff they have over...

You can only blame NL for the offtopic posts.

I forgot about instruments, but good call. I have an Ibanez Jem 777 desert yellow with the pyramid markers on the fret.
