Great to here D05 is better than T05 short game, I've tamed T05 short game so I think it should be fine . Also great to hear about half shots. Oh I don't push anywhere near to 50% on BH return, more like 25%. As I said I'm very all round BH and on return, so on short I mix flicks, long deep...

One thing to add after having used this rubber for competitive matches with better players is that if you have an attacking style, it requires a lot of stamina, physical power and endurance because you have to swing hard and fast on every attacking shot. Therefore if you're going to get this for...

Great feedback! Really good to Know, I think D05 is probably good for me. Regarding your points: Short game: Is it much worse than T05? T05 is generally bouncy, and therefore short pushes need technique, you have to cut the ball to maintain it low and spinny, otherwise it pops or drifts half...

Yes, generally technique and match experience is a lot more important. I buy the equipment for matches against players who are balanced with me or where I am worse. For example I have always judged T05 as 1) Not necessary against weaker players 2) very useful against balanced or slightly...

Thx! This is what I was hoping to hear. Especially balance between offense and defence is important to me - in some points we need to control, block and wait for the chance, in others we are attacking. A good rubber must do both well and that is why for example for me H3 isn't perfect on FH...

In a few months time I will try Dignics rubbers. I see players such as NDH, Kolev and NextLevel who seem experienced with these rubbers. I am an advanced amateur player who trains 3 hours daily during summer months. My question is: 1) why do most people prefer D09c on FH? 2) for those who...

Yeah but I couldn't refuse those because I literally got them for a dollar each on a crazy sale... For those I'm definitely guilty:)

So I'm wondering: Am I an EJ? I have 3 main blades: FZD ALC (bought last August) with Victas 401 FH and Victas V22 BH (bought a couple of weeks ago) - why? My T05 from last July wasn't performing well anymore, I couldn't resist changing the Fastarc g1 to try V22 on BH OSP Virtuoso Off- 5 ply...

very good advice! Rozena is a good choice too

A more modern Mark V Xiom Musa - a bit faster and a bit more spin, that's why I recommended it. AK47 is fast but very spin insensitive and very controllable - it is a perfect option for a beginner who is training to get used to fast rubbers because it's as fast as tensors but not as bouncy and...

MX-P is much less controllable than Rakza 7 - watching your video HK1997 + AK 47 should be just about right. The rubbers you're looking at will only hurt you in unpredictable match play

Yasaka Sweden extra is an excellent choice with very high control. The rubbers you chose are indeed too much for a basement player, but if you're getting good coaching often eventually they will prove useful. Switching to DNA would make things worse. Rakza 7 soft would not have given more...

There's a reason for this: The ball is different now, it is more profitable to counterloop than to block, but to do so you need stability, you do not want to rubber to compress too much and bottom out due to the heavier harder ball, and spin generation is lower with this ball so everyone needs...

Seems like you settled for D05 FH - I actually use V22 (as BH) and Victas 401 as FH currently and after 4 months or so I plan to give D05 a try for FH. At the end what made you chose it over V22 , C53 or other rubbers? Your BH choice of T19 is also going to be my BH next try and I use FZD ALC

I would be very interested in hearing more opinions about the comparison between D05 and T19 both for FH and BH. Does the D05 really give more than any of the Tenergies in terms of spin and power? Is it much much harder to access this spin? Does the D05 feel safe enough during match situations -...

I totally second the comparison betweem Ventus Extra and Fastarc G1. My son was playing Fastarc G1 on both sides of DHS PG7, but he is a backhand dominant player and in match situations his forehand tended to go long with Fastarc G1 at times. I got him Ventus Extra - I'd say maybe 5% less spin...

Also: If anyone understands Chinese and cares to translate, I am very curious:

OK so today I used the Victas 401 while playing matches against a superior player. For reference, we played 9 sets and it was 9-0, but on every set I scored 7 or more points with 3 sets finishing 12-10 or 11-9. How did the rubber perform against a superior player where I was under pressure...

In a nutshell: Not slow, powerful, very spinny but hit sharply with speed, can be used as any other rubber by non chopers. All round play is perfect In detail: I got black 2.0 on my FZD Alc replacing my 3 month old tenergy which slowed a lot and lost a lot of grip. I've also played H3...

Recently I had posted about the Victas Victas VS>401 and had received some useful insights from others who played with it... Yet many questions remained for me and finally I have had the chance of trying it myself on the FH. I will be posting my first impressions here as well as follows ups so...
