But...why? Lost a bet ? :)

Man that's some serious stuff with HL5 fakes. So these days it's better to get Butterfly or Stiga market blade to be 'self-satisfied' with the fact, that I can play with the same gear as top tier players? I wanted to get either Long 3 or Long 5, because Viscaria is just too fast for me. Looks...

what about w968 and other DHS blades? As well as Stiga Dynasty? There were some players using those blades on Chinese mock olympics. Not as many as Viscarias though. Does anyone still use all wood DHS w506 ? Or probably easier to get Clipper CR these days I guess..

It is available on AliExpress. The shop owner sent me provincial version instead of commercial by mistake, though. But I already play with Provincial on the backhand and it's not bad :) He also sent me pics proving the existence of 37 degrees commercial version, so yeah, it's available.

btw last video on their channel shows, that Miikka actually now plays with H3 blue sponge

https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVmgWon80e/?igshid=1e0g0tbal7a9n check out this post. I guess there's not much of info right now anywhere in Western media yet. It says that in 2020 there will be Hurricane 'Ji' produced by DHS. One side limba, other side koto. And a couple more new blades from DHS.

Hello! I asked Miikka in Instagram what rubbers does he use, but he didn't reply. Can you please ask him ? :) I really want to know what's that rubber on the black side he uses. The red one is obviously tenergy, but the black...I can't figure out. Likely Yasaka Rising Dragon?

Also, how about Hurricane 8 ? I play H3 on the FH myself and feel very comfortable (at first I boosted it, but never re-boosted) and thinking about getting Hurricane 8 mid-hard as a next FH rubber.

I would say the exact opposite, but I guess it's a matter of preference :)

I have used the G1 on both sides and that's indeed not an easy rubber to do the flick. Switched to Rasanter R42 2.0 (thickness really matters) and on my 5 ply wooden blade it's just amazing control and not that bouncy.

Hmm that's really interesting. May be my memory just tricks me and G1 is actually good...good thing I still have 3 sheets of it! Will test. What I really liked about G1 (same as with H3) is that I can do full swing motion and the ball won't bounce away like it does with Tensor rubbers like...

I've tried Nittaku Fastarc G1 and honestly I cannot say that the spin is the same as with H3 Provincial Orange sponge (even though I only boost 40 deg. rubber with 1 layer). Played with that rubber on the FH for a month and decided to switch back. The top spins are quite stable and fast, but...

Hello, TTD :) So I've purchased Nittaku Ludeack 7 ply wooden blade as an upgrade from Nittaku Acoustic (same wooden composition, but 5 ply) and find it amazing in doing loops, controlling the game is just outstanding, etc. But one aspect I don't like at all: blocking. It's more stable when I...

The white DHS*** balls are not round at all for me, for some reason :( Actually interesting thing: once I made an order from Aliexpress just for 10 balls (1 pack) and the "yellowish" balls came, very round and high quality. I thought - good thing! And ordered two more packs from the same...

Well, this is only what I feel. Acoustic is head heavy, but lighter in general. On this blade I think it's somewhere around the center. Also some time ago I gave this racket to other players and they said the same thing - center heavy.

Nope, not head heavy definitely.

I actually don't have any scales available now. This is the exact feeling I have now as you had. I will play a month or so with this setup and if I am not able to adjust to it...well, will spend some money on another ALC blade. Local shop has Butterfly Kenta Matsudaira 80g and Timo Boll Spirit...

I will continue playing with Yinhe then, because in matches I really won a lot of games just because the blade has more power than 5ply wooden Acoustic. May be I just need more time to get used to the weight. Thanks for the tips and help!

I actually have a video of me playing with the top player in our region. And on this video I play with Yinhe. (I am in a blue t-shirt)

The quality is indeed different, since the top ply of the Yinhe torn off (just a little) in some spots. Happened when I removed the rubber, but I don't think that this is a huge problem. Should've sealed it T_T The advice on trying to relax is a very good one, I will try so this weekend. I am...
