Spring sponge is very prominent in 2.1 - with the T05 topsheet it’s amazing during drill practice and warm up but once the real match starts, it gets very twitchy in the short game. You need to survive the first 2-3 balls.
I too like T05 1.9 better.
On the other hand if you can go up to T05H...
As it’s an experiment with a custom product, no one apart from you would have any idea how it would play.
Maybe start with a certain hardness and work your way up or down? Much like how companies range their rubbers? S, M, H, XH?
And report back to us :)

I think the variables both myself and @DukeGaGa have tried to explain is precisely why you haven’t been able to get your truly exhaustive answer 🙁 Sorry!

It’s a long read but interesting article nonetheless about the rise of pickleball and padel.

Hope the AI is a patient one and doesn’t learn over time how trash we all compared to the CNT.
“Congratulations user, from the 6 hours tournament matches uploaded I’ve determined there’s nothing of worth to be reviewed. Please play better. Goodbye” 😰
The common advice here when members switch over to new equipment is to give it sufficient time to completely familiarise oneself.

So keeping with the spirit of this forum, will FZD be changing out of FZD ALC?
As winning or losing is obviously based on 90% equipment choice, 5% training/coaching/talent/mental, 10-15% booster.
Very nice 👍 very stable now with your anti.
By the way what is your final verdict on Cybershape and anti?
Specifically the inner carbon, larger headsize and overall stiffness if it works or not vs your current setup.
More detail you can provide the better 😀
For me quite there’s quite a saturation of live sports vying for my attention - NBA season just kicked off, there’s the EPL, Formula 1, tonight I checked out the T20 Cricket World Cup. I also like to stay up to date with current world affairs like the Ukraine War, the potential outbreak of...
