Recovered (almost) from tennis elbow and...
I have now both versions of Carbon Nove and tonight I will test the original one (not the test version)
I will use:
FH: H3 prov BS 39
BH: Andro Nuzn 45
I will get back late tonight with a brief commentary.

Very heavy rubbers on a light blade would make the racket very top heavy. The balance is more noticeable than the actual weight within resonable limits.
I believe Neottecs have smaller heads, that’s one reason why they are lighter…

Not yet, probably by the end of the season when Dragon F expires...
It's still in the package so I cant tell the weight, guess it should be lighter than 48 though...

Oxidation is a chemical reaction to oxygen. Oxygen is present in air and water. How can a sheet which prevents direct contact with air if put on to the dry rubber ENHANCE oxidazation???
I have been using sometimes cleaner sometimes pure water and protective sheets for years and no problems...
I don't like Vega Europe, its way too soft specially on FH, Mantra I don't know anything about. The thing about softer grippy rubbers is that they are very sensitive to spin. I would select the next one up (at least 45 in hardness) in the vega series. Yes its easier to generate spin with a soft...
Exactly, I did play competitions in the 70's and restarted in 2019 with a Primorac carbon (was given to me) and sriver rubbers since I used super sriver back then. It was way too fast for me so I went down to "all" blades and worked my way up. I am now on a down tuned Primorac carbon, thinner...
Do yourself a favor and get an allwood blade and equip it with some slow and decent rubbers.
I.e:
Blade: Yasaka Sweden extra.
Rubbers: 729 snipe focus or Samwei taiji 2022. Those are two light rubbers. Chose Yasaka Mark V for something a bit more expensive with higher quality.
Play with this...
This is something I totally disagree with. I am old and unfit and still playing with H3 (or Dignics if I wasn't so anti BF).
Not more problems than with any other rubber. Its really all about technique.

If Dignics had a decent price I would use them. If you can afford stick with the Dignics combo its the best in my book.
Hurricane national is not woth the price either, go for provincial if you decide to change...
One more thing that speaks for Dignics is consistency. It is much more consistent...
