I find the oval handle very nice in the hand :) I've glued it up with a 2 layered Arthur China. Will find out how it plays next session.

I wonder if this is the same as the WSH W81 version

I think the biggest element that no one I see has touched on is serve return. After ZJK showing the world that you can BH chiquita any serve, and then the new ball came around, there is just no point in developing a spin based game anymore. You serve, you pick up the ball. Your only hope is to...

Smaller blade makers have tried this and neither side feels good :( But I am really interested in what a large manufacturer like Tibhar comes up with!

Any updates on this? If it's anything like the first batch I've hit with, the sport is becoming pickleball.

I've been through this journey. Everyone recommends the same tired rubbers. You want it to feel like H3? It needs to be hard. HARD. So be prepared to be in the 57.5-60 degree range in the ESN scale.

Do what you want, but it's a very expensive lesson to learn to listen to the collective advice. If you're not boosting and intend to replace it 6-8 months, then Hurricane will have plenty of life left. From your questions I think you are diving in way too deep over your head. But best of luck...

They really could've capitalized things and offered "custom service" but adding in your favourite player plaque and name on those lenses. I personally would love a Hurricane FZD hahaha

I didn't seal mine and it's been fine for me. Victas has sealant preapplied.

For the exact price, you're looking at that Hexer/Acuda generation. But 5 more euros and you can already try Bluegrip C1/C2 which you might enjoy as being between H3 and tensor properties. Or another 10 euros and you've opened up the world and can get V15 sticky/soft, dynayrz ZGR, hybrid K3...

If he's playing from mid distance, why would he voluntarily lower the core wood by 0.3mm? The VCI already doesn't have an exaggerated catapult effect unlike W968.

The appeal of H3 is also partially its downfall. Yes when opportunities come or when you're in perfect position (or in practice), then a correct stroke is well rewarded by H3. But often in matches, out of position shots or rallies, you're punished by the imprecise mechanics. Anyway, Rakza 7 is...

I am playing inner carbon, I have been for the last maybe 4 odd years, and have made several attempts to change to outer unsuccessfully. Now I'm also attempting the 'faster inner' type, and the 'harder top ply' routes. One thing not mentioned by anyone yet is how inner carbon gets slower over...

I "accidentally" bought a Koki Niwa 10th anniversary and a w968-5. Guess I'll be rationing meals for a while 😂

I reckon it's like the inner vs outer carbon preference too. If you prefer fast and borrow power, outer carbon with this RS would suit you well. If you like to control and play 3rd ball with spin, then DJ is more your jam.

K3 is already a bit soft. If you want to boost, maybe get the K3pro to start.

Well, why don't you try them out and see for yourself? This is a good example of why subjective things in table tennis (like reviews) are so difficult.

I feel the RS ball plays like the seamless. Slow and no spin.

Maybe he discovered that DHS sponsorship gives 10 commercial blades which is not equivalent to one W968 😅

The inner carbon version is expected to come out in June. And the gold tag is before that.
