:ROFLMAO: No I'm happy with the Helix Platinum, I tried hybrid a bit on backhand but I really prefer tensor

For me I don't feel like I give up any top end performance, what I feel I give up is a bit of serve and short receive. Opening half-long serve and backspin in general is so much easier. Open game is equivalent, a bit more easy power and speed and less control. Oh perfectly boosted H3 was still...

Well I had a chance for a big tax discount and I told myself "Let's buy some dignics 09C to re-sell". That quickly became "Well since they're here let's just try one, why the hell not". Now I use D09C on forehand :ROFLMAO: . It is so much easier and effortless to do everything than with H3 that...

Just believe your trainer 😁

There is always a chance, it's just very very small. Being in New Zealand doesn't help either, literally no one from there has ever made it pro, and the ones who made it from Australia are very few and in between and all went to train in Asia / Europe. I think if your objective is solely "making...

Helix hybrid I won't test any time soon (I got it for a super deal with the helix platinums I get for my backhand), I'm starting with charged and then possibly D09C, I'm looking for a hybrid to keep on my second blade and to play in days in which I encounter good modern defenders or when my 8...

I now have charged, helix hybrid 55 and D09C to try and bought a second freitas just to have a test blade and it is all your fault @victormanriquey , just wanted you to know it :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I have explained what I mean in the post I wrote after the one you posted: I have never argued D05 is forgiving, it's just another flavour of (medium-)hard rubber with different specs and not very compatible with low level players (IMHO). Compared with D09C it gives a little less spin and gives...

How's the charged holding up to time? I just ordered one, couldn't resist the urge, it was just 10 dollars more than hurricane provincial and less than the national :ROFLMAO:

I haven't tried the 55 in the end, I have tried the XH (I think 52.5 hardness) and I liked it quite a lot, it's going to be my rubber on backhand for this season. I play it on the Freitas ALC, but before settling on this blade this summer I tried it on the WCQ blade too. Before it I had tried...

I remember watching him on the ittf circuit 20 years ago, he was a solid top 30-40 in the world ranking and he seems to really have retained pretty much all his skills and movement. I really like his big backhand, whilst his forehand is not entirely pleasing to my eyes.

Bastian Steger has very impressive results for someone 45 years of age.

UP! Price reduced to 175 euros plus shipping

Handle feels extremely comfortable for me, but I also have to say that I am not really fussy with handles and don't give it too much thought, my hand grips the handle quite low and I never had any problem with any wings or these kind of things. Longest adjustment for me was mainly on the shift...

I have never played with a Viscaria type blade, I have only tried them here and there: point is that I really don't like their feeling especially on forehand topspin (I have quite a big movement on forehand, and whilst I have been trying to start it higher, I tend to start low and wait for the...

It's funny you find the long 5 to be less dwelly than the wang chuqin, I actually think the opposite (even if the difference is minor - and I am actually comparing your Chuqin with the W968 that I was using more recently). I have tested it quite a lot this summer but in the end settled for the...

Insensitivity surely does it (but I am arguing D09C is not insensitive to spin). I'll try to explain the concept better: A rubber that is insensitive to spin is, by necessity, a rubber that has little grip: the easiest rubbers to receive with are long pimples and antis, because when you have...
