  1. Rubber arc height and length discussion

    As far as I understand, these angles largely depend on the technical parameters of the topsheet. For example, in 64 series, pimples are much less common than in 05. Therefore, 64 series have a lower angle and feels softer having approximately the same sponge in hardness. In the 80 series...

  3. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    You can always make a smaller head out of a bigger one :-) We do this quite often for the guys. I don't really like doing this for my blades because I like bigger heads, but technically there are no problems with it.
  4. Cheaper Rakza Z EH alternative

    From me + what about Jupiter 3 38 in red. Good rubber. Very grippy and durable. Red Jupiters are much more durable than black ones.
  5. Which ESN (or Jap) rubber is closest to H3 orange provincial (non NEO)?

    Not heavier than H3. My RZ red max, cut under the head 158x151mm, weighed 51 grams, which is normal for hurricanes. For example my latest provincial H3BS 40 2.2 with the same dimensions weighs as much as 55 grams! Another thing is that it plays completely differently - it has a high angle, is...
  6. Cheaper Rakza Z EH alternative

    I played with 218 Spin 40. It is very similar to the regular Phoenix1, but has a slightly softer topsheet. The sponge feels the same as on the Phoenix1. So it is not an alternative of the Rakza Z Extra Hard. If You like RZEH, then stick with it. It is better to be patient and save up money for a...
  7. Politics - Any and All Political Discussions Not Really Related to TT

    Where there is communism, there is destruction. You should thank Deng Xiaoping, who, under the slogan "One country, two systems", introduced the capitalist system that now brings you all these benefits. Instead, you broadcast communist propaganda
  8. If you are the CNT boss, what would you do?

    Maybe the big head of the blade Loki didn't work for him? In my opinion, he played best with Viscaria.

    We just have to wait a little and he will tell us all about it in a new video from @Dan. ;)
  11. why dima change his blade?(Contains spoilers for the game against Truls)

    In general, Dmitry has short and sharp movements, so in my opinion he needs a short-stroke blade, which he essentially had, regardless of the inner structure. The fact that he changed his current thick blade to a thinner one but about the same in speed can be explained by the need to increase...
  12. Diy 5 ply Blade

    Hі, @RickRockRoll! Welcome to the club of blade makers who can't call themselves blade makers!;) Nice work, especially for your first blade. This blade is still young and flexible. Our advice is to keep this blade for 2-3 months, or better half a year, so that the glue can fully polymerize...
  13. Yinhe Big Dipper 5 Review: A Budget No-Boost Alternative to Hurricane 3 Neo with Some Tradeoffs

    I didn't like Moon 12 Blue either. This rubber has no bite. I played with it for a bit and sold it right away while it still looked new.

    Continuation of the Gewo Aruna Hinoki Carbon blade. Such a low balance was needed, because rubbers Gewo Nexus EL pro Superselect max weigh a lot. The racket, complete with rubbers, weighs as much as 195 grams
