Nexy OLAM testing - I tested it with MX-S but I couldn't play competitively with that and now with MX-P, since my important competitions are over.
My original issue with MX-P was that it came boosted. I tested it a long time ago (over 2 years, almost 3) when it was new and gave the sheet away when I used the cell ball as it was too hard for my technique back then and I didn't like the shrinking that boosted rubbers do after my experiences with Bluefire. When MX-P is new and boosted (it smells like Dandoy Bioboost when new), it is a bit too soft for me, so what I plan to do is open the package and let it air out for a couple of weeks before using it. Maybe when my technique gets better, I will use it boosted but right now, I prefer it after the boosting is gone as then it plays a little harder. If they sold it unboosted, it would be perfect for me. The topsheet grip, while not as great as MX-S, is excellent. If they put MX-S on a softer sponge, I would look into it as well.
I worked on my forehand with a variety of things, but the two issues that I have now (and where I think MX-P will help a lot) are developing a shorter movement and countering heavy topspin. Both are related. The former is especially important, as I am so used to looping with a very straight arm on the backswing and using my upper arm a lot so I have to learn to shorten my movement for counterlooping topspin balls. But when using slower rubbers to do this, the ball just seems to demand a larger swing or I get a ball that sits too easily at my level. And I want to swing a little less hard on those countertopspins so I will see where this ends up. It's either $35 per sheet for MX-S or $60 per sheet from a friends with a discount in T05. You do the math.
So my guess is that I might lose some of my forehand topspin strength on powerlooping backspin but maybe not. But everything is compromise and balancing - I just wish I had good knees and joints so that I could just focus on looping the ball and not this whole equipment mess.
But in any case, I could see the quality of the topsheet of MX-P this weekend in play. It just has a very strong hold on the ball and reacts more consistently to heavy incoming spin - it does this almost as well as MX-S, but also gives you that pop on shorter strokes that MX-S will not give you. I am going to stick with this at least through end of March of next year. Then the new battles will begin
