  1. Your go-to 42.5° rubber (Fastarc C1 Alternative)

    Hey guys, I’ve been playing with a 6-month-old Nittaku Fastarc C1 on my backhand, and I like it quite a lot. But, thanks to the EJ virus, I’m eager to test something new. I’ve already ordered Xiom Korea (which is 45°), but I’d still love to discuss other good soft rubbers worth trying. On the...
  2. Zhang Jike ALC vs Timo Boll ALC

    Has anyone tested these two blades (preferably with the same weight)? What differences did you notice? I own the Zhang Jike ALC and am considering trying the Timo Boll ALC (I like squarish handle), but I'm not sure if there are any significant differences between them.
  3. Switch away from Chinese FH rubber, what to choose?

    I have been playing with Chinese rubbers on my FH for the last 3 years. Just for an experiment I would like to try a Tensor rubber or a slightly hybrid one (but closer to Tensor). What would you recommend in this case? I'm looking for something with a good opening shot and underspin lift...
  4. Joola Santoru KL-C Outer

    Played for the first time today with Joola Santoru KL-C Outer. Composition is quite similar to Viscaria and I had a chance to compare it right in the club. From the photo it may look like widths are a little different, but they are identical 1 to 1. The main difference is top layer — limba vs...
  5. Donic Skachkov Carbon

    After some research and Joola Rossi Emotion being out of stock, decided to give it a try just to extend my knowledge. I've never had a Koto outer carbon blade, so curious to try. I put almost fresh: DHS Hurricane 8-80 38" Nittaku Fastarc G1 Weight is 81.6 grams. Haven't played yet, so will...
  6. Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon vs Andro Treiber CI OFF

    Hey guys, I'm searching for some carbon inner blades to test and noticed that Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon and Andro Treiber CI OFF are almost the same. Limba (1+7), Ayous (2+6), carbon (3+5), ayous composition for both of them. The same as thickness. Is that correct? Do they play differently...
  7. Rossi Emotion vs Clipper vs Stradivarius

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about Joola Rossi Emotion vs Xiom Stradivarius. Clipper is in the list because I own one and this is the way for me to compare :-) From Revspin standpoint these blades are quite similar. I know that all three have different top layer which should affect on feeling. Also...
  8. Upgrade from Yasaka Sweden Extra to more powerful blade

    Hey guys, I was playing with Stiga Clipper wood for all of my life, but since a big pause I decided to try a slower blade to recover my skills. YSE did the job. Now I have a feeling that I want something like that, but with a little bit more confident feeling when do hard flat finish strokes...
  9. Stiga Clipper Wood Chinese (or budget) rubbers advice

    Hey guys, I'm an owner of a 20 years old Stiga Clipper Wood blade, which my coach bought me back then. I've been playing a lot, but had a long break so now I'm returning back. After the break I got a feeling that I'm not controlling my technique as well as I would love to, so I decided to...
