[REVIEW] Butterfly Viscaria with DHS Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge and Stiga Boost TX

[Dan]

Thank you! I am glad you appreciate the review.

I played fine with the setup. The control on both wings is very good. When I played against Sambei from Japan, the tacky nature and the hardness of the H3 really helped in making spinny serves that we're close to the net. They were very short indeed, I think the shortest serves I have done! Haha. I serve short because I was against high level players so to avoid them attacking long serves. The Boost TX also played great, although I had trouble in spinning with it, it really is a blocking rubber in that match. Unfortunately, they were too high level players that I lost 4 sets, but now I know their spins! That was the first time I have played with international players but next time I can prepare better for them.

Wow great news, sounds like you took a lot from the tournament. I know exactly what you mean when you feel you can match top players in the short game when you have good tacky rubbers. It sure helps a lot. Must have been great experience playing Sambei, he is very good!

See you around Harvey.

For forehand I would choose 05, and for backhand 80, 64 or 05 fx if you like softer

Thanks guys for your recommendations and advices. I am now deadlock on Infinity VPS blade. I have read that it is not that fast and some even labeled it as OFF- , but i think i can up the speed a bit by getting heavier versions of the blade just so to lessen the gap of speed from my Viscaria.

On another note, I can get T25 for a really good price compared to T05. I wonder why I get so little reviews on the T25? Anyone used T25 on Infinity VPS blade?

T25 is very hard, low throw and the spin isnt good. It is more for blocking and smashing, T05 is better for topspin and looping.

Awesome review , I use H3P Orange sponge for BH (not sure it's original or not ) but the opponents said the return chop from my BH is "different" / "strange" than other CHina's rubber.

Thanks! Well I hope that "difference" is for good.

Dear Harvey, you're welcome ,
Yeah the opponents need to wait a little bit before the return the ball .

Harvey... you know Mark Flores? He is from your country and joined our Army a year ago, he is USATT 2000ish in rating he might tell you a tale or two when he played with your countrymen.

The name is familiar. I haven't met him though. I search for his FB and added him. Have you played against him, Der Echte?

I got it from a seller in FB. It is legitimate. He has a website, PhilPong.com, a store based in Thailand, I think the owner is Filipino.

thanks a lot!

Nice review. Very helpful.

 

[agold]

Great review. I agree with everything. I was told to create a discussion out of the review I gave someone in a private message, which I will do when I get back from vacation, but it won't be as good as yours . Good luck with your new setup!

Genuine or fake?

Genuine or fake?

Is that blue sponge? Or orange sponge? I think those are pretty genuine. Better ask Butt Stallion, he's the expert on those.

Blue sponge mate...

Never played vs him Harvey, he lives in Texas about 3000 KM away from me.

Mark is a lefty 2000ish USATT level player for his region. That would make him low end of Div 1 or top end of Div 2 city where I used to play.
