Not pictured because it currently looks horrible is my "chop shop" Waldner Senso Carbon
How does the Fastarc G1 perform in the Timo Boll ZLC?
I have it set up with T05 in FH and 05fx in BH.
T05 feels good, but 05fx gives off too much.

Thanks, mate.

Yeah pretty much like on my innerforce alc, firm compared to T05 as expected. The ZLC is a bit thinner and you can feel that with G1 but there's still enough blade to engage the G1 well

Hurricane Meng. Chen Meng's personal blade.

The handle is a grayish white with yellow and orange lines.
The lens features the words “Hurricane Meng,” and the back is adorned with a golden signature pattern.
Chen Meng's lens is fitted into the end.

This blade was trademarked but never released.

lol. i honestly belive DHS are just creating memes at this point xD
the blades are nice but good lord in what world would any type of photographer or whatnot come along and be like: ''yeah lets just put THIS photo at the bottom of the handle. i mean no it does not look like some weird fetish photo from some 1970s porn on an old VHS tape... nah... it looks totally fine and professional and we cant take a better photo''

wanna see my tabletennis handle? wtf are you doing thats not the handle... please someone get the camera.

My beautiful DHS Hurricane King Wang Chuqin 88.5g (according to the card) with FH DHS H3 Neo Provincial Blue Sponge 40 deg 2.1mm and BH Hurricane 8-20 Neo Provincial Orange Sponge 38 deg 2.1mm. Both rubbers are boosted two layers with FLM Purple Booster. Waited a month for this due to the Canada Post Strike, excited to try it out at a tournament on Saturday!

What is the difference between Rakza 7 and FastArc G-1?
Let me start by saying this: it's not a huge difference. Both are basically variations on the same idea.

But, if I have to start nitpicking down to the details:

G-1 is a little less sensitive to incoming spin, it's just a little more forgiving for my short game shortcomings where sometimes I just hold out my bat and forget to make an active movement.
G-1 feels a little bit harder. The difference is more noticeable in the topsheet, but I feel the sponge is harder, too. We're talking back-to-back comparison on the same blades here.
I feel the spin levels on both are quite close. Probably because I still haven't maximized the use of G-1 while R7 felt pretty easy to get to ball-dipping levels of spin.
R7 has a little easier rip-through-the-ball, I guess more tolerance? It does this better on slower and softer blades, too.
G-1 shines more on medium or harder blades, R7 on soft to medium.

I feel G-1 is holding up better over time for me than R7. They're both well lasting rubbers, but I have yet to trash a sheet of G-1. The sponge of R7 also curls inward enormously after getting it off a blade, whereas G-1 does that much less. This implies more factory boost on R7 which is something that wears off over time.

I actually feel that R7 is somewhere between C-1 and G-1, but closer to C-1, in terms of hardness, easily accessible spin, but also spin sensitivity and bounciness on passive contact.
G-1 just has this slightly easier tolerance that makes it behave more towards the harder rubbers, while still retaining the character of a tension rubber when playing actively.

you need to stop
Why ? If I show you my music instruments stable, you'll tell me the same, 10 basses, an upright, 2 guitars, 2 keyboards, plus effect pedals, plus amps and cabinets, audio interfaces, preamps, compressors, studio monitorings, man... owning 2 or 3 dozens of paddles is nothing compared to my music stuff :ROFLMAO:

Edit: I forgot the pro headphones I'm using that cost as musch as a Viscaria each, like the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, the headphone amp that cost nearly the same. My car cost me only 3 grands, my home studio is... 4 or 5 times more, its' ridiculous I know.

this forum really shows you the disparity in disposable income between the different countries.

this forum really shows you the disparity in disposable income between the different countries.
1- I'm single without children, easier for me I know
2- I prefer having an old car I can repair 75% by myself than a new one I can't do anything on it and would cost way more to maintain. When I was living in a bigger city, I had no car, only public transportation for less than 10€/month.
3- I don't smoke
4- I don't eat processed foods, only raw veggies and fruits I cook by myself, meaning I'm vegan. When you cut on meat and processed foods, everything's cheaper. It's Europe I know... fruits and veggies are way cheaper here than in the US. Plus, we can trust the farmers who produces those fruits and veggies.

Because there are norms and people that are paid to verify if those norms are well followed. Yeah, I know, many americans hate food norms, and after that they don't understand why their country is full of obese people having to pay for their healthcare bills, having to cross the canadian border to get an insulin treatment at a decent price.
--> insulin 1 standard unit in France: 8€, but it cost nothing to you because of the universal healthcare
--> insulin 1 standard unit in Canada: 10€, you have to pay it full cost
--> insulin 1 standard unit in the US: 98,70 USD. Nuff' said.
Even if a type II diabete would cost me nothing, I still prefer eating healthy.
5- I don't drink neither nor go to pubs nor cafés nor restaurants, only for business --> gigs I play for my living
6- being a french auto-entrepreneur for the music lessons I offer, I pay taxes, still depends on social aids with an activity bonus, means on good months I live with 900 to 1000 €, bad ones it can be 700/800€. You'll tell me "hey you're rich compared to someone living in a third world country !" maybe... I'm probably even richer than an american that can't have any health issue or it would mean bankruptcy, even if he lives with twice more money than me.

And that's probably why so much americans now are leaving the US to stay in Europe. They love the socialist universal healthcare system, and they understand you don't need so much money to live a good life. My house insurance cost 9.75€/month, car insurance 40€/month, my bank... 3€/month, telecoms 29€ for internet and 7€ /month for my mobile phone, electricity 30€/month, my appartment with charges for heating and water 235€/month = 323 €/month + 100 to 150€ for food/month, 25€ for gas in the car = more or less 500€, means I can save sometimes 200€ euros/month, even more on good ones when I work more. No mortgage, no loan, nothing. Those are traps.

How you getting along with this bad boy?
its close to perfect. however when my 2 sheets of G1 max are done, i will prob tweak it slightly. 2-3 grams less on rubbers would make the balance even better and i sometimes wish my BH rubber would be a tad bit more catapulty.

maybe i switch to C1/G1 in 2.0 instead of max to reduce weight ever so slightly or Glayzer/G1

I played G1 in 2.0 and it felt good, I never felt a need to try max. I would be suprised if u really noticed any meaningful difference. I bought a Lind and its on its way. Ive never played a blace with this construction before. I have hit with a DHS 301, but i think thats ayous core. Anyway, I was just curious what your impressions were. Glad you like it!

Got the N301 CPen w/ DHS Skyline 2 39° boosted w/ 3 layers of Haifu Seamoon and DHS Hurricane 3 37° boosted w/ 2 layers of Haifu Seamoon. Shout-out to @BlotOnPaper for the spot-on review. Used it today for the first time and it was a beast, but definitely need to get used to it.
