indeed. Although the Thibar ones are in the same vein as dignics 09c et rakza Z so they behave mostly like European rubbers. But yes slightly tacky. sorry I didn’t read your post correctly and only answered wrt the colors :)

Can’t tell you about specific characteristics, but I’ve been using that blade for about 2 years now and I really like it. The nostalgic VII is fine as well. ive been pairing the offensive with mantra M rubbers as well as Thibar hybrid K1 / K1 Pro and both work really well. Will be testing the...

Thibar K1 Pro (purple) most of the friendship 729 rubbers as well (particularly in the bloom series)

There is only one correct answer to this question and it is “the next one you will purchase”. Remember folks, the correct number of blades is one more.

That would make sense, especially given the recent trend. Could be a genesis 3 that would be an actual hybrid this time (because it wouldn’t be fully Chinese) ? Who knows?! or yeah, an updated mantra with better spin.

man, if the ball is wet both players are affected. I can’t see any reason why anybody would be impatient because of the other playing making sure the ball is dry...

I have one suggestion to make that I know to be controversial but worked extremely well for me: change your FOREHAND rubber for some short pips (outside of competition season of course). You won’t be able to rely on your dominant forehands and thus will have to use your bh more. I did that for...

Man! I followed the exact same logic and trained back with friendship bloom power! I won’t lie it wasn’t easy but I feel like it really helped me get back to speed.

Actually that doctor is still using that treatment and so far the marseille area is the one where we currently have the less death/pop, so... (and it is one of our biggest cities) main issue is that doctor’s communication team suck bad and they’re using every trick they can get to get their name...

Club’s closed, country’s closed as well.

Even if that’s sound advice, the topic is still interesting, if only for arguing’s sake :-)

You do understand that this is because of the coronavirus scare right? Edit: failed to see that the message I’m replying to is from the previous page and had been replied to before, sorry about that.

Damn the matches between those two are always amazing to watch

what's more appalling to me is that this is a thread about blades and nobody mentioned rule 20. A true loss for the gods.

While everything you just said is perfectly reasonable Carl, I felt like it was worded in a way that could lead some to generalize to a wrong deduction. You say « You do not want to stretch for that » and « Stretching would not be the answer »... and while that is partially true I feel like...

I have no medical foundations, but I have suffered from an Achille’s tendon rupture and I can confirm this is no joke. I repeat: you want to avoid that at all cost and if there’s even the slightest risk your current pain could potentially lead to ATR, you want to stop all physical exercise now...

Then again rule 21 sort of dictates that the best blade is the next one, which is definitely reinforced by rule 88. Just saying...

That does sound like the description of a tacky rubber “it absorbs the spin of the opponent, you just go forward”. Tacky rubbers tend to do that if you’re playing an active stroke (definitely not on a passive stroke though).

Folks, as an interested reader of this thread, I legit don’t care if it was old or new as long as the info it contains is relevant to the title. If it seems a bit odd then I’ll look up the dates and figure it out. But do you know what really makes it annoying to read? Everything that is related...

Although a tad expensive, I’d say Genesis II M could be a suitable semi tacky backhand option. I’m currently experimenting with 729 bloom power on both bh and fh (slightly harder sponge on fh), works well in training but I’m having trouble adapting on the bh.
