The sfx is extremely grippy, if you feel like it doesn't have grip it's because of your technique. These rubbers need snap and brush to use, you can't be passive with them.

I played t05 on viscaria for years, I like the high curve and ease of activation. D05 has lower angle and throws me off quite a bit, I love it on the bh though.

Idk, I've played with the sanwei cc with the handle that looks a bit like yasaka ma lin handle. It was extremely fast.

I don't think you need anything better, if your rubbers aren't old then you're good. I think it's already a bit fast for a beginner setup, anything faster will be an obstacle for your development.

Yeah the holes are part of the wood. I don't know what you mean, I always sand in the same direction, downwards with rough sandpaper and very little pressure. Then I got the finer paper and I could sand it down to be smooth and even. Always do the sanding when the racket is dry and with no...

Rubbers are pretty good, but the blade is a rocketship. Anything but the t8s and cc. They're too fast for beginners or even intermediates, way too fast.

This was a year ago, don't bump dead threads.

2 medium thin on rubber and 1 medium on blade.

Oh hell no. Only 1 on blade

From what remember, the rose 5 felt softer than my intensity and yeo. Also I don't have access to the goiabao unfortunately...

Why is that so true?!😂😂😂

Sand it only from the side you'll use it for forehand. These little holes are the wood grain, if that's what you mean. - Wrap the sandpaper around a cylinder, like a roller for rubber gluing. Start sanding down at a 45 degree angle relative the the surface of the racket face, and also at a 45...

Bumping it up a bit to see if anyone has anything to say

Goddammit, I just bought the normal one😂

Yeah, the pros get everything for free, so they don't really care... Now I'm jealous😂

The pro 01 is a lot harder than the ma lin carbon. For something faster and softer, you can try the Stiga clipper, it's 7ply all wood, classic blade. It'll be softer and even though the speed will not be higher, it can take any rubber you throw at it. Still a fast blade, but not uncontrollable.

Rubbers break in and their characteristics change, they become softer, a touch slower and easier to control. Pros get used to the harder version and by the time the rubber breaks in, they already have another sheet glued on.

I've never heard about it. I know of 2 methods to break in rubbers, play them for about 2-3 weeks or boost them. This hitting with the ball thing isn't really something people do... No matter what, after the break in period, it will feel a touch softer and easier to play with. It's a cycle...

Hello! The last few years I've gone on a long search for the perfect blade. I tried viscaria, but it was too sensitive, I liked it, but didn't really give me confidence in the match. Clipper was good, but had too low throw. Intensity was perfect play wise, but it's too hard and requires a lot...

Nice, I've used neptune for a few years on my pips racket for repairing against opponents that use pips, and it's durable as all hell. I've beat the hell out of it and it's still soft and easy to use. A good European long pip for blocking is donic piranja tec in ox and tibhar grass d.tecs in ox.
