The pushes and blocks he was doing weren't anything special. Most of the blocks were to the exact same spot with the exact same quality repeatedly, and just waiting for the 1950 guy to miss. Granted maybe being able to always get it in the exact same spot in the exact same way without missing a...

I'm sure specifically sponsored star players get whatever, but moreso I mean the generic "national" models used for practice partners, B-teamers and whatever. Even those are different and should be better. I saw a video of some 2450~ player playing a 1950~ player and all the 2450 guy did was...

I wouldn't really compare something with so many data points to like 10 data points. I mean zeio even posted data that shows a smaller variation.

Measured data doesn't seem to agree. Basically all models within a category are within 10% or so in things like coefficient of restitution for a given speed or the spin amount for measured real shots. Admittedly that is a very large difference, but we're not talking about like 50%. You get...

Yeah I've focused on just making all of my stuff land, because my maximum quality is totally fine for the play level I'm aiming for at the moment. My scoring potential fluctuates very wildly based on narrow margins atm, so my play is not stable enough. All of the pro rubbers are different too...

No video yet again because no regular partner yet again, but it is what it is. I think he has some kind of logistical issue right now. I may try to see if more people are happy appearing online. Back healed enough to play, and it didn't get worse from the session, so that's great. A little...

That's why I said objectively. They're not large differences at all most of the time, but a decent player will be able to easily tell two different same-model blades from eachother, let alone two entirely different designs.

Sure, only because of the handle design and probably the laminating technique. Objectively the differences in performance between 100 samples of those blades is probably almost as large as the differences in performance between those two blades compared to eachother.

Finish =/= QC If that's what they've specced the finish to be, then that's what it is. What matters more is how close the design parameters are to the ideal.

The softest hardness blue sponge with copious booster is probably closer to D09c than you'd think based on the sponge being "Chinese" or "Japanese". Wouldn't really call H3 a hybrid either way even if you put 5 layers on that sucker; consumer applied booster doesn't perform magic and it won't...

The difference between any two different blade models within the same category is about as large as the difference between two of the exact same blade. It's kind of pointless to try to make some kind of holistic system for blades and you should treat them all on a case by case basis, with...

How will you have time to test new equipment if you're wasting time training?

I hit a bit with D09c on the backhand on a lightweight 5ply blade and it felt like what forums claim unboosted H3 is like. Bloody slow! Twiddling to 41A blue sponge H3 on my inner blade was faster on the backhand than that combo. It's probably nice on something like Viscaria, but I haven't...

You need to advertise your supplements, t-shirts or something else like that. Actually posting video of your play is kinda rare nowadays so people don't even make fun of you.

I've had to push one more time than I feel is correct in the short game and to stop swinging so hard and just spin the ball a bit more to get games off what should be 1500-1600~ players, but the last few times I played much better players and had to attack very actively to even stay in the...

I think I need to take the executive decision and skip the next session to let my back heal fully. I haven't taken a break in about half a year, so I guess it's about time. Overtraining? Never heard of her.

And I thought I take the theorywanking too far.

The parallel to car driving doesn't really end there; there's an idea in the performance driving world that beginners should start with easy, slow cars and work up to more performant ones when they gain more skills. This idea is mostly based on the fact that easy, slow cars are cheap and you...

Well, we're not talking about beginners here, so probably not, unless they have excellent guidance. I'm sure learners with a few years of experience (Or really more like 3000~ hours played) could use literally any rubber on the market. I don't fully disagree (I started with Super FX on a 5...

Yeah, I played with it about 3 - 3.5 months now. I'm switching off it because I ruined the handle with silicon oil and it feels a bit like a mattress spring sometimes. Easy to play with, not very fast or bouncy at all, super slow in short game (slower than most 7ply I've tried) but it gets some...
