  1. Hybrid rubber comparison (and durability)

    Fairly easy to answer, just look at the direct competition. K3 quickly looks and not much later is unplayable at any level more than basic. The ones I get handed down are ok for my purposes, but didn´t last the original owner long. No such complaints from NUZN players, hence no handed down NUZN ;)
  2. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    How much thicker you think it can be than the commercially available 2,2 mm before it exceeds the limit? This would be interesting as regards any other "thin topsheet, ULTRAmaxx+verythicksponge" rubber from other brands as well.
  3. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    It is not an update of "that line" - Evolution - but a separate development.
  4. Hybrid rubber comparison (and durability)

    Very likely true for some, not so easy to spot, though. There are various recipes, so one Yasaka might resemble a BlueGrip, one Joola might feel close to a BlueStar, and so on. The newest BlueGrip J rubbers are "hybrids of hybrids", mixing BlueStar topsheet with BlueGrip C sponge (while...
  5. Multicolor rubbers fading

    with GEWO SuperSelect rubbers he doesn´t have much of a choice ;)
  6. Multicolor rubbers fading

    If this is original to you then you must be young-ish. ;) Rubbers in other colours than red and black were totally normal until 1984. It seems there aren´t any top of the range or hybrid rubbers in different colours, but there are quite a few new (basic level?) rubbers on the LARC available in 3...
  7. Best Handle and Shape but MK Carbon too fast 😞 Help

    There is also a 5-ply all wood MK ALL, might be worth further inspection.
  8. New Vega rubbers

    Which is a nice segment of the market that has been neglected for a long time. Development efforts predominantly went into high and ever more higher end rubbers, the came the hybrid trend. I think it´s good to see some stuff on the other end of the range (for example think andro BYPE as a...
  9. New Vega rubbers

    I wish that would also be the typical recommendation, whereas in reality people advise beginners to go thinner and/or slower on BH - passing their own preferences on to people who haven´t even found out what their stronger wing is and due to rubber choice will never do... "Your forehand is your...

  11. Does anyone know anything about Nittaku Feminist?

    Surely a dream combined with Andro Plasma Women rubbers ;)
  12. Sold Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC

    Excellent condition, just one micro hit to the edge, barely recognizable in the picture. 94 grams. Fixed price 140 Euro plus shipping according to location of buyer by DHL, insured and trackable.
  13. Best Viscaria higher quality alternative

    This, in my opinion, has everything you´re looking for. Viscaria-type outer carbon construction, head size of 157 x 150, and as you know excellent quality. At the same weight, I found the VCO to be a little less stiff than the Viscaria, so it made me feel the ball better. But it is always such a...
  14. Ovtcharov New racket ??

    Constantly. Always seeking to improve things, not always by changing but optimizing.
  15. Closed 3 x Butterfly Freitas ALC (repaired)

    I´m not too surprised that the interest in these repaired blades is rather low, they´re most certainly a "try before you buy" affair. I´ll return them to my friend who asked me to sell them, and they´ll probably end up in the hands of some talented young players in his home country. To anyone...
  16. BH Alternatives to Rasanter R45

    Yes, and that also goes for how everyone defines longevity or how their playing style influences it. If you really like R45 stick with it. I doubt you will find a tensor rubber that outlasts it significantly while offering similar performance. Rozena is affordable, but if you find t05 bouncy you...
  17. Closed 3 x Butterfly Freitas ALC (repaired)

    Would sell separately, offers appreciated.
  18. Budget-friendly replacement for old Tibhar Evolution MX-S?

    You could take a look at Palio AK47 red, the sponge hardness is quite similar to that of MX-S and it´s a rubber designed to resemble European rubbers. But maybe you could also buy a fresh pair of MX-S and when you eventually change your blade, take them off your Samsonov and put them on the new...
  19. Next rubber after Victas V-15 Limber Max

    Then maybe Rasanter R42 is for you.
  20. Next rubber after Victas V-15 Limber Max

    With a 40 degree ESN sponge the v15 is really quite soft. You will probably rely on the catapult effect as well, so I would be wary to go down hybrid road. Despite that being said, maybe you should take a look at andro NUZN 45, the NUZN rubbers play the closest to normal Tensor rubbers out of...
