Thanks for the great reviews. What do you think of B3 vs B2 Soft 37 on BH? I’ve used TG3-60 37deg which is a typical DHS hybrid tacky rubber for a while on BH, but looking to change something to with a bit more oomph

Hey there, you're looking great! Definitely not a coach, but here are my 2 cents in addition to all the other great tips so far: 1) Tactics-wise, I noticed you didn't seem to move your opponent around as much as he was moving you. You're clearly capable of hitting crosscourt and down the line...

Unfortunately Joola is not very popular here so I haven't tried a Joola ball before and they're more expensive (120 balls/75AUD). Just trying to find a bargain from AliExpress I won't regret! Thanks for the feedback! Maybe No1 isn't the one to go for because I'll be doing group training in...

Hi all, I'm looking to get a 100pack of balls for training and multiball. I was initially looking at DHS D40+ 1 star balls as I quite like the 3 star version. But came across some good reviews on here for the Huieson 40+ 'red and black print' balls which I can get for much cheaper on AliExpress...

My first custom setup was with Flextra on BH on a 5ply all wood blade when I was a beginner. It was as slow as the unboosted, non-NEO, tacky Hurricanes on my premade DHS bat. Fine for solidifying basic fundamentals, but I changed to 'faster' rubbers (TG3Neo and Nittaku Zalt/Mark V) once I...

Here are a list of my favourites with a blocking partner, in somewhat increasing order of difficulty: Side-to-side Wide BH -> Wide FH: requiring a side step in the middle. For added difficulty, one person can hit cross court and the other person hit down the line Elbow (middle) FH -> Wide FH...

I had the same experience with GA8 unfortunately. Not sure if it was because of humidity like reports on other threads, but every now and then my slower skinny BH brush loop would slip. I tried to take good care of it, but changed after a month or so. I have also used the other two rubbers as...

Fair enough, but that’s my personal experience of DHS premades like the one in the OP, trying to ‘upgrade’ pre-mades for my former club, and the same for a friend who tried to remove the rubbers from a newly bought pre-made butterfly racket last month. I just haven’t seen a rubber come off a...

Just wanted to add since it wasn't mentioned elsewhere that the rubbers are usually glued on with very, very strong glue. From personal experience, you'll probably end up splintering the blade and/or having glue residue you need to sand off the blade. So you won't really have an upgrade path if...

I used commercial Long 5 for many years before I was fortunate to have a friend sell me their provincial Long 5 for a reasonable price because they’d upgraded. The biggest thing that struck me was the provincial’s smaller head and larger handle compared to the commercial Long 5 and other DHS...

A couple years ago I changed from BH tensors (Acuda Blue P2, Fastarc S1, Rasanter, Goldarc, Rakza 7 soft, etc) to unboosted TG3-60 in 37deg hardness. I did also try H3 37deg, H3-50 etc on friends’ blades before, but found I preferred TG3-60 the most for its higher arc. The main reason for...
