There's always ball placement options to consider.

Well, a few Xuperman Powerplay - X # 2.1 41 # Black sheets just might reach me in 40-60 days.

I played with all of them, and didn't like R45 all that much. Must be me; it was way too bouncy in areas of the game where I really don't need that, and it felt limited in terms of speed/spin pressure. G1 and GA8 are not alike. GA8 at 48º is nothing special, and I don't think I could...

Vega Pro.

Settling on a blade design with and having that blade then built to perfection by SdCblades.

You said it. Never seen one.

I'm reading much here that runs counter to my experience; but then, so does the OP's question. G1 has plenty of power to offer, with a very high top end. I would say, higher top-end power than T19, Vega X and Pro. Then again, I always like highly bouncy rubbers at first, but shy away from...

2.6.1 Service shall start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server's stationary free hand. 2.6.2 The server shall then project the ball near vertically upwards, without imparting spin, so that it rises at least 16cm after leaving the palm of the free hand and then falls...

Shell is UK-based, and sells wreck-the-planet-fast stuffs at worry-not-about-tomorrow prices.

The JRE is an excellent blade. Soft feeling upon light touches, and a lot of power in reserve when accelerating. It pairs well with G1 - as many say, G1 isn't picky. I used it on inner carbon blades. Outer carbon (Viscaria family) felt too hard/fast for me, but even there T05 and the like...

Shibaev. :p

Yes, this. For some or other reason I took an interest in it, tried it - and found it abysmal. So flimsy, felt like hitting the ball with a (thin!) piece of cardboard - and no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

GA8 less spin sensitive. Harder topsheet, and you need to work harder to generate spin - no easy spin on lazy shots. To me the GA8 felt better at 50º, though. Very speedy, still controllable and behaves well in direct play. R7 is a great rubber. It spins well, good feedback on gripping the...

Adaptability in tactics.

He's so missed. He carries a considerable part of the spice of life with him.

Well, one can also ask, can WCQ keep it up? Time will tell. My magic eight ball says: "my sources say no", whereas the answer to "Will ML go to the olympics?" is "without a doubt". Then again, he may just visit as a cheerleader. Or a secondary coach. Or as a minor participant in a teams event...

Slightly over €50 on the streets, iirc.

Sounds like Rasanter R53 to me. Which lasts a long time, if you manage to keep it intact.
