Cybershape Carbon

Do the weights affect the frequency?

That’s something I only thought about after gluing. Next time I’ll try.

Got the chance to try it.
Naked without weights it bounced at 1475hz, then i tested the 9g which make it less head heavy and the bounce test gave me 1432hz.

The Cybershape Carbon is faster and stiffer. Due to the stiffness it is a good blade for flantis. The speed is a little too high, sometimes hard to control during passive strokes. It has a relatively low dwell time and a little hard to make good spin with it.
The Innerforce Layer ALC has a lower speed, higher control and higher dwell time. I liked the feeling and stabilty it gave me. For a spin-based game, it is much better than the Cybershape, but you also sacrifice some speed (not too much).

Why everyone said that it is hard to spin with cybershape? I can slow spin it very well (well, maybe slow spinning use mainly rubbers). For quick rallies, who need to create a lot of spins?

So my opinion may be different as i really like it
The cybershape is stiffer than a typical inner carbon - thats why i use it. recently I have paired it with softer rubbers (not updated in my profile yet) and that combinations has given me the best set of results and clear improvement with my coach. I think equally they are a bit lighter in weight so the balance felt better. I imagine with 09c its going to be quite a heavy setup?

It does take some getting used too - the first few sessions I really wasn't liking it, but then something clicked and it has great 'feeling' for me, touch shots and those out of position shots. I think keep with it, then maybe try so softer rubbers to help if not?
I feel overall I can see why you think its faster - but I genuinely think its slower than my other blades or maybe is more linear.

What soft rubbers do you use?

What soft rubbers do you use?

So i dont know - im in a bit of a EJ stage testing stuff before the league starts again as Im not bothered by results atm.

But my best results with the Cybershape were with Joola Ryzen Fire and Ice on it. Ice in particular is pretty soft.

Recently im changing between going back to Tenergy and other 42-46 sponge rubbers and then more harder hybrid ones. My current thinking is that even though i can play with them I dont really think im better off overall with the harder hybrids than something softer.
Just to add - before i traded the Cybershape I bought the DNA hybrid M on both sides on it - and it was just way to pingy for me and uncontrollable for some reason - just couldnt get on with that feeling combination. As seemed harder to control than with DNA Pro - which doesnt make sense.

I have cybershape carbon, with umboosted he prov blue sponge. Xiom tau 2 on bh. I cant feel the dwell time compare fzd alc. I tried the xiom tau 2 for fh which is softer. It added a little dwell time. But, it's difficult for me to produce massive spin on serves, heavy backspin push, and slow spinny loop against backspin. My clubmates/opponents can testify to that and thats what they are saying. My shots has only purely speed but not spinny shots. However, in one session,.I tried to kill almost everything with CSC. And it work. Just spindrive almost everything. However, when opponent blocks, it will be difficult for me to recover. But the kill spin, its difficult for them to block. But, I want a blade that have more dwell time for my strength strokes, fhe spin.
