  1. Looking for a custom setup advice

    Mkv is fine, but it's old and a bit overpriced. The good thing is that it lasts really long. Just buy Vega Europe, it's an excellent rubber. The hurricane is a no no, unless you're willing to go through the suffering it takes to learn it.
  2. How far would my setup take me ?

    It's fine. If the setup itself isn't old then you're fine. Keep it for at least a year to learn the basics. At this level, equipment shouldn't matter.
  3. Advantages of older generation rubbers (R7,G1,Vega Pro,..) ?

    Z3 has very low throw, that's why I don't like it on backhand. You can just turn your racket around and see if you like it. Bluegrip C2 is really good if you want something modern
  4. New rubbers for young athlete

    I think rakza 7 is good for for beginners and advanced players, xiom vega asia and europe are also very popular.
  5. Advantages of older generation rubbers (R7,G1,Vega Pro,..) ?

    I love the baracuda, it's extremely spinny. The z3 is a blocking and counter rubber. It's really good but it doesn't last long. Mine died after 4-5 months. I play everyday and got destroyed really quick. I think that for the forehand a better choice would be the z1. I really like the bluestorm...
  6. Advantages of older generation rubbers (R7,G1,Vega Pro,..) ?

    Never said that, Z3 just kicks the ball out like a damn cannon, hence the lack of spin and sensitivity. And low throw angle. Feel is the only reason we can understand dwell and use the tacky rubbers with their advantages. Dwell is subjective to the sponge hardness, and a hard rubber can have...
  7. Advantages of older generation rubbers (R7,G1,Vega Pro,..) ?

    Also, grip and tension is a physics thing. Higher surface tension will give a harder feeling, that's inevitable. Don't lecture me, I'm not your friend.
  8. I have a Hurricane 3 neo orange sponge 39 degree and a Tenergy 05, ask me anything!

    I actually have a question about hurricane 3. I've only had normal h3 neo and normal h3. Both lifted the topsheet from the sponge after about 6 months of use, no boost. Does this happen with provincial as well? Also, what's the difference between orange and blue sponge, is there a massive...
  9. Advantages of older generation rubbers (R7,G1,Vega Pro,..) ?

    Get some manners and let people share their experience. Bluestorm sucks and has no dwell, dignics feel almost tacky with all that grip and feel with no downside other than its price. I don't care why rubbers feel and play as they do, I only know what I've seen through trying them all. So cut...
  10. Advantages of older generation rubbers (R7,G1,Vega Pro,..) ?

    I feel that newer rubbers have more dynamics and far more grip. They feel more reactive and more dwelly. I currently have a goldarc 8 and Bluestorm Z3, goldarc feels grippy when you brush fast and hard, but z3 gripped easier when it was new,(now it's worn). Same feeling with dignics and...
  11. New rubbers for young athlete

    Cybershape wood is really good for all levels, the carbon would be a nightmare. As for rubbers, stay away from mxp and tenergy, they hinder development since they require control that a 10yo will not have. Rakza 7 is well known rubber that isn't too fast, so why not, it's not that expensive...
  12. Hurricane 3 OS unboosted break-in period

    Please don't do that, you'll be wondering why the topsheet is coming off.😂 Dhs has famously bad cq and bad gluing in general. Put too much force into the topsheet and the pimples will start dancing tsifteteli. Boosting is a whole other kind of tension, it's even and that's why there's no...
  13. Viscaria with more control

    Boll alc is a bit harder
  14. Rubber with Soft Grippy topsheet

    Give it some time, I've had 2 over the last 4 years and I'm not making the same mistake again. It is a spinny rubber, but it hardens real fast and loses that safety that it first has when you buy it, yours is still fresh, give it 2 more months. I play 5 to 7 times a week and Tenergy never died...
  15. Rubber with Soft Grippy topsheet

    I've used z3 for 2 years now, it goes rock hard and loses much of its grip within the first 6 months, mine is dead after 4, yet I do play 5 to 7 times a week. But still, it's supposed to be a flagship rubber, Tenergy lasts far longer. The sponge is to create speed and a connection between...
  16. What's the weight of T05 and FX?

    It's a freaking beast. I expected some low level cashgrab rubber made for beginners, after all it's only 25 bucks. But that is not the case, far from it. This thing is a really high level rubber. Not very tacky, a bit less than H3. Medium hardness topsheet with a velvety almost springy feeling...
  17. What's the weight of T05 and FX?

    Alright, thanks!
  18. What's the weight of T05 and FX?

    Pretty self explanatory, currently I'm using goldarc 8 47,5 max and Bluestorm Z3 2,1. Would the weight differ too much? I haven't used T05 in years and I don't have any old sheets laying around.
  19. Copy of Viscaria - The miracle recipe

    The pro 01 has the same construction as the viscaria, but it's a bit thicker. There isn't a true 1 to 1 with the viscaria on the market, this is just what's closest.
  20. Weak Forehand & Weak Flick Technique - Rubber change - harder, softer what?

    The D05 has a soft topsheet that also doesn't have too much tension. A rubber with high tension will work as a catapult and try to get rid of the ball as fast as possible, same with hard topsheet. A soft topsheet with low tension will allow for the ball to stay on the rubber for much longer...
