  2. At what skill level would a hard (48-50 deg and up) FH rubber improve the game?

    Hi, I've had a strange discussion with a club mate of mine. He has got this weird opinion that you always should choose a hard (48-50 deg and harder sponge) FH rubber if using a carbon blade. I try to explain to him that all carbon blades are not equal and the differences in speed, stiffness and...

    I have ordered a DHS Hurricane ACB and a 301Z. Of course DHS (an other chinese blades) are made to use with tacky rubbers. But what about other manufacturers blades? Tibhar, Donic, Joola, Xiom, Nittaku, Victas? Are there any typical characteristics of a blades construction (top layer...
  8. DHS 7-ply allwood blade?

    Is it a racket you would recommend to a low intermediate player? Is the regular 5-ply DHS Hurricane Hao a good start? How does it compare to other brands, like Butterfly, Stiga, Tibhar etc?

For example: Palio AK47 Yellow USD 11.99 compared to a reputalble Aliexpress seller, who charges maybe...

I started to play about half a year ago, using a fairly cheap Loki E9 pre made blade with RXTON 5 rubber on both sides, courtesy of Aliexpress. The racket has been ok, but my inner EJ came to life: I "needed" a custom made racket...
