This is possible, but then you have to realize it and stick with it, not think "Yeah this really suits me, but the expensive one must be even better" ;-)

Not sure about no name, but if you go for brands like Loki or Stuor - makers of really good copies of really expensive blades - cheap doesn´t always equal low quality.

Yes, and as concerns the sponge, the same hardness can feel different in relation to the layout of the pores (large vs. small, thin cell wall vs. thick). It´s a multitude of factors.

Every component can add to the total weight, but balance is also to be considered. A well balanced 190 gram can feel heavier than a top-heavy 180. To start with, take off your rubbers and weigh your blade. This gives you an idea where to start - a blade with a "catalog weight" of 85 gram can...

I tested Psych Dragon, it´s pretty sticky and relatively hard, Battle II territory for me - but then I am not really familiar what else is out there. Hovering Dragon is less sticky and has a softer sponge. Now they sit here looking for a new home.

Yes, I know and was referring to that. It´s just that you mentioned an FZD that you didn´t like and were making conclusions to the VCO because of the similarities in construction. So if your FZD was a rather stiff one it could be built similar to the VCO, but would play differently. Anyway, the...

I would assume the overall composition supports this impression. The VCO is thinner and the fibre used is also different. And of course no two blades are the same, so maybe my VCO was exceptionally good or maybe the FZD you played was uncharacteristically stiff.

Excellent condition, Legend grip, 93 grams Ships with original box (box has wear from transport and storage) Asking price 95 Euro plus shipping (to be determined according to location, insurance, etc.) - it won´t get better than this. No trade offers please, I´m all set ;-)

Since you say the ease of creating spin is not an issue then I have to recommend the (in my opinion) best topsheet in combination with the hardest sponge. Technique and skill provided, this should top the others. Why? Good is for beginners, Hexer series for intermediate. With Gewo it´s quite...

Every t05 player I know from fifth league upwards, and some below ;-)

Yes. Unpack rubber, put on booster the way you´ve perfected it for your desired feeling and performance, and off you go. This is at least why some friends stick with t05, they simply do not want to try anything else because the process of boosting would have to be adjusted, and they don´t want...

Saw this new for around 110 (but only ST handle) so I reduced the price for this in "like new" condition.

That will probably not so easy to find. Plaxon was meant to be an update of early Tensor generations like Plasma and Roxon (hence the name). The newest idea to retain that early feeling with a bit more spin is BYPE, positioned between entry level rubber GTT and more advanced Hexer. However...

I have 10 Calibra LT for sale from a former contract player who does not play them anymore. Nothing special though, ordinary shop version, red and black max five each. Asking price is 20 Euro for one rubber, 160 Euro for all ten combined, plus shipping from Germany (to be determined according...

Generally the sponges of chinese rubbers are a lot more dense than the ESN sponges, which are more porous. Sometimes with those you can even do a good glue job and will still be left with the surface of the moon ;-) That said, I use rubbers like that all the time.

Yes.

Typically Rev 3 is even renowned for being easily removable, but it seems the quality varies too much. I use this now It is not unlike Rev 3 high viscosity, same annoying ammonia smell, but works a treat: Dries quickly and I have removed glue from any structure of sponges (pore size, etc.) in...

But would you be interested in a 145, unused? ;-)

On Stiga´s official site all but the 45 are sold out and I see the 145 on ebay for 180 Euro (approx. 150 pounds)
