Kiri-*something*-Limba apparently. Might be a limited edition though. https://www.spinfactory.de/blades/fextra-allround.html

Nope. I tried 4 different ones and then sort of drifted away from it. It's a good rubber, but so many variations! Wears me out.

The tack scrubs more speed off initially in comparison, but it has a reasonable bit of elasticity once you get past that (I used the 38 degree sponge, so there will be variation here if you go harder). Still slower than Big Dipper. I'd say it's a touch faster than H8. 3-60 is hard to compare...

I've had 4 sheets of Battle 2 now. There's a little variation in them (although they're different "editions", blue sponge, provincial, golden, etc etc), but they're all tackier than the list above. Probably closest to H8, but higher throw. More spin sensitive than all of the options as well...

Yeah, looks like they have an issue again.

Thought Hari had adapted really well to Falck's pretty specific challenge. Games 5 and 6 were very impressive. Falck is in great form at the moment though, and the momentum just seemed to drift away in the final game. Brilliant match.

Great point - love it. I think there's definitely some valuable things you can take away from pro equipment, but too much is read into the specifics. I much prefer general trends, like yours above.

Probably, although is it even possible to know for sure anyway? And if true, that doesn't mean the B2X is a bad blade, etc etc blah blah. I like the gossip around pros' setups, but it doesn't mean much to me when picking equipment for myself.

There's also a Fang Bo B2X - same kind of thing, thicker core. But much cheaper!

Totally agree - 365 is a great site and incredibly useful resource. Developing a like-for-like replacement in the timeframe TTE are talking about is highly dubious, and TTE's official statements look very bad-faith to me. Misleading almost to the point of outright lies. That said, I don't...

Also: VJC>07 Sticky Extra Interestingly, the VJ series looks to be made in Japan, but the VJC is a chinese topsheet on a japanese sponge. https://www.victas.com/ja_jp/products/rubber/hienergybacksoft/07_series

It's really tough to compare in this way. This is an internal event with players who have probably played against each other for a disproportionate number of hours. It's a different kind of challenge when you compare to playing internationally against players with very different styles...

On my work machine we use Sophos, and it flagged TT11 as being infected with Troj/Maghack-A I still can't get on there now, but that's probably because they're blacklisted at my end now?

The irony is that Butterfly themselves are trying to do this themselves. They have all the reaction/vibration stuff for blades, and they give Sriver as the baseline for a rating of 10 for rubbers now. The stores have stuck to their speed/control nonsense though, unfortunately. Hopefully...

AZX is away to forum user StuartMarquis today. If anyone else is interested in testing after he's had a go, just get in touch!
