I forgot to mention regional differences. Don´t know about Austria, but I think there is no retailer for Gold Arc 8 in Germany. It was meant for the Asian market specifically and is re-sold to other territories. Made available officially, it would probably be more expensive (see Tin Arc 33...

Not that much of a difference? Except the lighting is bad on mine ... UK 11 btw.

1. There are conceptional differences. The Rasanter series for example have a thinner topsheet, which allows for a thicker sponge. 2. There are generational differences. Early ESN rubbers used to have lots of catapult but not as much spin. Over the years, the emphasis would be put on more spin...

I guess many will have noticed the black and green andro shoes by now. For my birthday I received a pair and I am completely hooked. I play in at least two, sometimes three very different halls each week, with flooring ranging from professional "red TT floor/Gerflor" to regular sports hall...

It might just as well not. He says he changed his backhand rubber. He says he changed the forehand rubber last year. And he says THE rubber will be released commercially next year. So maybe it´s t09c now on both sides, else it should be the rubbers? Of course it would have made sense to...

I would advise against buying it for the simple fact that Stiga themselves neither offer the Magma or its updated variants TX/TS on their website anymore. It seems to me these have been discontinued for some time so you might end up not only buying an old style, but also old rubber. If Stiga is...

After a few weeks of practice I think this blade is the best combination of touch and power I have ever come across. It is a bit slower and less direct than my previous Treiber CO but in direct comparison my trainer confirms more arc and spin with the Gauzy, using similar rubbers. As this is...

Exactly. Be prepared to lose that when switching your blade ... I found the Koki Niwa to be a good "feeling" blade as well, the CCA/VS not as much.

Really? Because this is a matter of behaviour rather than rules. It seems over the years the view on certain things has changed. We have a few 70+ players who say "thank you" for service errors and also "sorry" for their own net balls while the rally is still on. None of them is especially...

Not as easy as replacing a blade handle. You´d need the co-operation of Butterfly. Even then, I am not sure it would technically work.

You might find that any rubber that is softer or has a less stiff topsheet than G1 will be easier to handle in opening shots including flicks and open game, due to a plus in catapult. You might then also find that this plus of catapult makes the short game and push game more difficult. Every...

It does. So much for "Vladi didn´t want to change blades depending on circumstances (big hall, small hall, playing against defence ...) anymore but wanted one blade to suit all conditions: Fortino pro"?

Oh yeah, I see ;) Too many speculative threads on this and another forum kinda put me in "serious" mode.

Maybe because it is still a thread about Hugo Calderano´s personal equipment, not one about any blade named after him? See also Boll, Samsonov, Ovtcharov, Waldner, Persson, Appelgren and many others who have and have had blades with their name, most of which or in some cases none of them they...

Yes, it´s a new sponge. True. Surprisingly soft feeling for a 53 degree sponge. As would be with a softer sponge, which is why many players often do not choose the hardest version available, as with harder rubbers generating spin and speed or activating the full potential is more difficult...

Agree 100%.

She changed at the beginning of the season. andro haven´t made the update yet ... Well, the types of veneer are one thing, the thicknesses another, and I have no idea about them. But generally the overall direction should be similar.

It would surely make sense to him if it was very similar. Still, veneer thicknesses and other details may have been optimized, so I wouldn´t call it exactly the same unless I knew for sure.

Normally, choose something with good cushioning. I am from the "target group" and I used Mizuno Wave Medal instead of Wave Drive for example, and lately Asics Gel Fastball. Then I received the new andro cross step shoes as a present and was a bit hesitant at first because they don´t quite look...
