Hmmm, so far my H3BS 40deg is holding up quite well. It survived China and even now it's still great. If I have to complain I kind of miss a bit of tack. In China I got myself another spare and it was rather cheap too. Well one H3 is no H3 in my book always need a spare one in the drawer. But...

To me this looks like real Haifu product just the AliExpress shop Photoshopped it to Faifu for some reason. Could be they are not official sellers etc. If you look at the box it says Haifu 😂

I swear I saw @Gozo Aruna mixed among them.

Sanwei Gear Hyper will be a shock at first should you choose that :) Shock not in a good way. At that point you're better off with Hurricane 8-80 in my opinion. SGH is heavy. While Japanese rubbers are 45-6-7g cut, SGH is @ 50+

That sounds like Sun Tzu wisdom to me.

If an alien landed on Earth they would think this is inappropriate touching. :sneaky:

Hmmm, this is not that easy of a question. I don't think Glayzer is slower. Maybe on flat hits and flat blocks it is but once your stretch the top rubber it's faster. On flat contact Glazyer is slow and even feels dead but once you can stretch the topsheet it turns into something like a bit...

G1 or Glayzer (if you consider japanese still). The newer ESN stuff ain't exactly famous for their durability. V>15 Extra is durable but I suppose it's too fast.

52.5deg hardness 7800JPY MSRP so maybe it can be bought in the 45-55EUR range

I think you have a point. 🤡

I think there is more of an expansion issue with H3 rather than shrinking. If you take off and reboost it will become bigger than before so aligning is not a huge issue. I think the bigger issue is something I never seen anyone talk about: as the rubber gets bigger because of the booster it gets...

Tony's right, get Yinhe blade, can't go wrong with them since great price, great availability, a lot of choice and they are made like top brand blades. Rubber maybe Mercury for backhand and Rxton3 Pro for forehand. Rxton3 Pro is pretty good rubber, my girlfriend really likes it. It's dirt cheap...

Sounds to me it's more worth for people to start learning how to use sticky Chinese rubbers. I suppose 38deg H8-80 or 39deg PF4-50 would be right around the corner to compete with ~50deg ESN hybrid. :censored::censored::censored:

Well something like that, but Catapult is about as old as Bryce. The very first racket I used was some "hand me down" Butterfly blade with 2 sheets of D13 if I remember well and my first own racket was Boll Spirit with 2 Catapults. This was early 2000s, so yeah in a sense this was one of the...

It looks legit to me. Also obviously someone used it a lot so that is a good sign. Being well-used is the best sign of a good blade.

Maybe no. I used to play with Catapult from Butterfly when I was pretty small. That one advertised as High Tension rubber that has built in speedglue effect.

I'm not sure why but Yinhe Moon Speed 53 is a bit difficult to buy. I mean if I search for it on aliexpress I don't get results. Not sure why the regular vendors don't offer it.

I think mine is from Aliexpress actually:oops:. But when I bought previously from Prott it it was also super light.

Yes, you have a fat boy there.

My H3BS 40deg prov is at ~46g with booster. My experience with H3BS is that it's super light, one of it's best feature. 53g sounds like so much, is it full of booster already? 53g rubbers for me are H3 clones boosted. I don't mean fake H3, but 729 or Dingtian etc...
