I have just tried it one short session. FH loop vs "no spin" long serve: Harimoto ALC +. Dignics09C. - avg 130 RPS Clipper + Stiga Helix Platinum M. - avg 120+RPS

@Dan, you should use Spinsight when you review the rubbers. Report the average spin and speed metrics, then it becomes a bit less of subjective scoring we have had in the past. And by the way, Merry Christmas! 🤶

If you have a problem generating speed with a really stiff blade with a really hard rubber then maybe you should either get a more flexible blade or get softer rubbers. I.e. try Helix Platinum Medium on the Cybershape Carbon or try the Dignics 09C on a Cybershape Wood.

Yeah, you are right, I mean RPS :ROFLMAO:

I had my first try with Spinsight yesterday. Only a quick test, and I only meassured spin on FH loops. Unfortunately I could not try the Zyre rubber, but only Stiga Helix Plat M and Dignics09C. Really curious to see the results with Zyre as well. A bit off topic since this is a Zyre thread, but...

So what is the current verdict on 2.5 vs 2.7 sponge thickness for non-pro players? 2.7 best for FH and 2.5 better for BH or 2.5 better for both BH/FH? I have only tried Zyre 2.5 on FH(on a Visc SALC) for a couple of minutes and it definitely felt quite different to any other butterfly rubber I...

I never really liked Stiga rubbers before, but now with Helix I am really satisfied. Lots of spin.

You are doing great for 2,5 years! A few pointers from me, maybe already covered by others: You are very fast. Take more advantage of that to get into position to hit your stronger shots. Your forehand is much stronger than your backhand so you should set it up more often. You have a tendency...

Nice test! Although it a bit limited to only showing how the rubbers behave for passive blocking and maybe serve return. But it is clear that 09c is way less spin sensitive and absorbs opponents speed better making it more controlled. Makes sense since it is semi-tacky I assume. I agree with...

I do not know. But since Truls plays with Helix and Cybershape Carbon combo, I guess it must work well.

I play Helix Platinum M on a clipper. I have tested H as well. I like it a lot. More dwell and more spin than DNA Platinum M. Quite similar to Tenergy 19.

Yes, that is my point. You stated in previous post that, I quote: "I feel the same stifness using Infinity VPS like using ALC or similars, the difference is Infinity is way less hard so a lot of more flex than ALC or similars.". So I am wondering how you can say that you feel the same...

If you live in the Stockholm area I would recommend you to go to the Stiga showroom. There you can test all possible(almost all possible) combos of their blades and rubbers. They have three tables setup and usually there is an ex pro-league player there who you can play against who will...

How How can you feel the same stiffness and still experience more flex? Those two statements are contradicting each other. Do you actually mean you experience more "dwell" with a softer blade?

I am not talking about pro's. And we hardly have any in this forum either. If you are happy with carbon then I am happy for you. I was just asking a question, that possibly implied that some of us probably benefit from using all wood blades. My personal experience is that I get more power and...

For certain shots a less stiff all wood blade can produce more speed due to flex. But you are right that it comes with drawbacks, such as less stability in blocks, etc ...

I see quite a few posts where reviewers state the boost in performance in speed and control when Zyre is put on all wood blade. Are you sure this actually has to do with Zyre or maybe a possibility that maybe you would perform better with also Dignics and Tenergy on all wood? Maybe you have...

That is true I forgot about the UFO. However I think she did more twiddling than UFO in Montpellier, or maybe I missed some Epic shots :).

The one thing(except for ofc her amazing forehand) that separates Sabine from others who plays similarly to her with LP is her unpredictability. She has a really good normal backside backhand as well and doesn't hesitate to twiddle and punish weak returns to her backhand that are aimed at her...

This is how TTgearlabs explains the "Elasticity" rating: "As the name itself expresses elasticity index means the elasticity (= stiffness) of blade. So it is directly concerned with speed of blade. Especially Ep is similar to speed. Ec becomes meaningful only when we hit blade very hard. The...
