Let me know how Battle 3 is vs Volant Phoenix

I fear that, unboosted, Volant Phoenix would be the same than Jupiter on the BH. You'll have full review of everything I can test. Here are the setups I plan to make first :

Probable that Volant Phoenix 2 and QIJI will need to be boosted, Loki Arthur Asia too (and Aurora for sure).

Try them unboosted first then boost them to see how big of a reaction there is

I received some of the rubbers. Battle is measured at 50º Shore-C.
I boosted some rubbers, they all lost at least 4º after the first pass.

battle2 os 37°

Some loki products arrived
New to test: Telson Speed & China, both 88-90gr around 1400hz. They Look great. TELSON CHINA handle its quite thicker and a bit more square so probably comfortable for bigger hands.
Rubbers: KIRIN K1 K3 and TELSON 100 47.5

Let me know how you find the Telson China. For me, it is too stiff, and also it swings heavier than its actual weight. So it feels heavy without weighing heavy on the scale.

I Didnt test yet and dont know if i will (i think it will sell too fast 😅) but i can say that bouncing a ball the blade feels fast and responsive, lovely sound peak frequency around 1400hz. My current V7rs feels a bit more head heavy i think, some weight probably goes into the thicker handle so its balance point its closer to the handle. For some players this means they feel less weight while playing. (My dad's korbel sk7 its heavy around 100gr almost but balance point close to the handle so it doesnt feel that heavy while playing, most players think my 5-ply korbels are heavier due to head heavy combo)

Yinhe T8s is incredibly smooth, even more than the Pro 01, and same than MC-4.

it sucks that yinhe, and chinese brands in general doesn't offer ST handles.

I've heard from some reseller you need to order at least 10 pcs from them to bother, at least with Yinhe. Sanwei is a pleasant exception.

No, Loki K5 & K6, all wood blades, respectively 5 and 7 plies.

It's just their knack for design rip-offs
