That rubber cutting is too precise!I highly recommend to anyone using a 1-ply blade to use foam edge tape.
I exclusively use 1-ply blades now, and to date have not had a single blade split on me. I believe that it is in part due to the foam protecting my blade from light hits on the table that have occurred during pushes or chop blocks, where there has been contact with the table. Knowing how fragile the blades are, I try to avoid at all costs contact with the table, but it happens...

It could be simply a style thing or a nod to the player's sponsor
I found several foam sidetapes from a few brands and they do not stick as kuch as non foam tapes.
I found the same thing. So what I do is first put down normal edge tape and then apply the foam tape onto it. It sticks really good to the edge tape.
That looks good but the fibers should go across the plies, not along the plies.

I don't know why exactly professional players use edge tape on that side of racket, but I will be using it next time to prevent this from happening because of edge ball during forehand topspin.
That doesn't look like and edge ball issue. It is a manufacturing defect. The manufacturer didn't properly glue the rubber sheet to the sponge.

This rubber is H3N BS. So, it is not a defect, it's a feature [emoji28] I would rather have this than the bubbling at the center of rubber.
I agree 100%.
You should probably add some glue where it's peeling just to try to "contain the spread".
If you're right handed it's a non playing area so probably won't matter much.
That Darker of yours is just too beautiful.Shout-out from from one 1-ply hinoki user to another..p/s: My One Ply Hinoki has foam tape on its side too.I highly recommend to anyone using a 1-ply blade to use foam edge tape.I exclusively use 1-ply blades now, and to date have not had a single blade split on me.
