Generally I think the change can be made, although I have yet to play with Helix. Two things to consider maybe, from 1,9 mm Dignics to 2,3 mm ESN could take a little more time to adjust than 2,1 mm, but you will know best if that´s a reason to worry. And another issue might be the good...

The Vega Intro is specifically designed to be one step upwards from classic rubbers, with little of what they used to call "speed glue effect". You can use it to upgrade, but it would also be suitable for beginners. Ball size and game itself have changed over the years, everyone adopts, and so...

Something about that makes for a nice conspiracy ;) Now that so many players went down "sticky road" which on pro level pretty much equals "need to boost", Butterfly (who, remember, laid the bedrock for sticky road with d09c...) come out with a rubber that is very fast and spinny out of the box...

That is true. If it goes well it´s all nice and smooth, but might still take time to adjust. If it doesn´t, you wouldn´t know what´s to blame.

I agree here. A small step upwards from a classic rubber like Mark V would be one of the entry-level Tensor rubbers, like XIOM Vega Intro. Rakza 7 also seems a good choice.

Very good idea.

I have three Freitas ALC with different fixed damages to sell. Blade 1 was fractured where the grip meets the playing surface. The logo at the end of the grip is missing. 86 gr Blade 2 had the identical damage. On both blades also some dents have been fixed. 89 gr Blade 3 suffered an impact at...

That´s correct. R45 has a lot more catapult effect. It´s surprisingly powerful for such a soft rubber, and could even be an alternative to R48 if that´s a little too hard or too much to handle. But compared to other rubbers with identical sponge hardness like Hexer Grip it´s a different class...

Maybe they did, maybe they didn´t. The question from the first post have been answered, as far as concerns the commercially available version. That´s all that can be done really...

No, I really meant that amongst all the players with roughly identical blade compositions there a few who have a different taste in blades. But at the very top only Hugo comes to mind.

Why not. Few stray away from the typical Arylate/Carbon used by so many, but it´s not impossible.

7 layers Limba outside, then Certran fiber, Limba again and Ayous core Certran is also marketed under the name Dyneema, as used by Tibhar Made in China, quite attractively priced at € 69,90 on official Donic site

I can only suspect that LOKI changed the product, since they´re using GNF on the K5 for example - so you either have an old blade or the newest version of it. But the blade looks genuine, up to the sticker with the weight, and I couldn´t imagine someone would go through the lenghts of faking...

Sale went well, only this one left, so here´s the final price directly: 99 Euro plus shipping

The truth, as often in this life, lies somewhere in the middle.

Finding a lighter rubber without losing performance might be difficult. But maybe next time you change your rubbers have them weighed, pick the lightest and see what it does for you. Chances are the weight cut to racket size is lower than now, and if not nothing´s happened this time. Looking...

If you want a rock-solid combination go for Lebesson or Samsonov alpha. They will work their way up with you to different rubbers if you want to make the step some day. The Force pro blades are quite fast, yet offer good control. But that said, it´s always control in relation to the speed...

The blade is like new (see pictures below) and weighs 94 gr The rubbers have been played for roughly two months, see separate pictures of topsheets and sponges (2.1 mm). On the pictures of the complete racket the rubbers are not glued to the blade, they are to illustrate how the rubbers fit...
