Tg2 makes sense if you play Penhold nowadays. I don't think the OS prov is still available, but for shake hands the BS TG2 felt off. Too low throw, and long. Did not work with the shakehands technic. When I used the Penhold grip, it felt better indeed. It makes sense for the TG2 to produce a better ball than TG3. Tg2 was designed for close to table 3rd ball attack. Whereas the TG3 was design for repetitive topspin mid distance. (Tg2 was developed with Ma Lin, and TG3 with Wang Hao). Tg3 is "easier" but the ball is not as good quality as TG2. Xu Xin played TG2 if I am not mistaken.

If I use OS, it's the commerical one in the blue packaging. I actually tried out Skyline 2 on shakehand when I was trying out chopping, but my shakehand forehand is nowhere near as good as my penhold forehand. I would say my style is a mixture of Ma Lin forehand and Wang Hao backhand, so the best of both worlds lol
