I would think to use your main blade since you have more feel and experience with it. This way you can immediately understand the effect of the rubber change without another variable from the blade. All those rubbers you listed are very different and should not really be grouped so...

The grain pattern looks uneven. Left end looks denser than right end so if looking at your forehand side, 3 o'clock is less powerful than 9 o'clock. If you use the same rubber on both sides, and you consistently hit around the 10 o'clock area, you could twiddle for a better short game, and...

I used to play a lot at ICC, and back then I saw the coaches practice pushes with their students. I don't think it was ever practiced as a stroke just by itself. Usually it goes along with practicing flipping short or looping long pushes, so you learn spin and placement with pushing, and how...

I think Bruce Lee applied this thinking to martial arts. First get a strong understanding of the fundamentals and learn from observing many styles. Then take what works best for the individual, and free the individual to get creative. For example, a short guy with short legs obsessing...

Well now.... no Souther??

I like your serve... lots of variations and pace changes, but very consistent. The fast deep one to the backhand corner is dangerous because it's very unexpected from the small movement you make. The videos are with D05. Do you find that Zyre makes your serve even more dangerous or less...

I'll look at the positive side to this comment because I do know an Italian chef who's fanatical about sashimi/sushi and his knowledge with Japanese food makes for some very original and delicious dishes. And if FZD gave an opinion about Zyre, I wouldn't take it lightly either. In fact, I...

a solid 10/10 on consistency... why change? Just build up your strength if you feel it's heavy. My setup (Clipper/H3neo 40 blue/H8 37) is 180 grams, which is pretty average in weight. I imagine yours shouldn't be too far off in weight.

Top 3 are Clipper. Get three of them and they will all have great feeling, but play slightly different. Play with your favorite among the 3 and save the others for backup. Stick with it for several years and watch your game keep improving.

I had a chance to try it a few times. As an H3 user you're right that Zyre feels pretty good. With the fast game I found it similar if you use brush strokes, and the spin is excellent. The speed difference is more apparent with drives and flat hits. For the slow game, Zyre has less...

In terms of contact point and increasing spin, the closer to the outer perimeter and further from the handle generates more spin.

H3 neo national blue sponge and 1 layer of voc glue on the blade only. VOC will dissipate in a day or two. This setup is lighter and faster than regular H3 with booster, but it costs more too.

I have only ever used H3 neo and spin has never been an issue with it. It has plenty of speed, so I don't boost either. This is a technique issue.

I've tried 38, 39, and 40. It comes down to personal preference, and I just happen to like the feel of 40 unboosted but broken in. There's no way to know until you play with them yourself.

DHS also makes many different rubbers. Ma Long can choose to switch between those different rubbers as frequently as he did with his blades, but he didn't. It seems the specific rubber plays a more important role than the blade at least in his case.

Just an opinion, and yes one person does not represent everyone, but... in the case of Ma Long, he used H3 throughout his career, but slowly upgraded his blade speed. He did not keep the same blade and upgrade the rubber speed. Although both are important, I think the rubber is more critical...

There are some really nice running cap options. Running caps have a built in sweat band, are very light, breathable, easy to put on/take off, and they can be washed rather easily too. You can have several and swap them out quickly if they get sweat soaked. You can wear the bill in front or...
