and to answer point 5,cause of the Quantum X Pro!
Did you end up getting to try Cybershape with short Pips?Has anyone tried this with pips yet? There's a video of a HK coach using long pip, I wonder if short pip would be nice on it.
I am currently using R53 on my forehand and Dynaryz AGR on the backhand and I can tell you that the AGR is quite good on the backhand side. Tried on my Forehand, but feels softer than R53 and does not like this feel to be on my forehand side.A week ago bought Stiga Cybershape [FL] with Dignics 09C [max, red] and Dignics 05 [max, black] on it. It's all new, seller maked this racket for buyer, but buyer cancel order at the last moment, so I got a nice discount on this racket...
Blade:
Blade kinda match with my playing style, it's good for flat hits and block (great speed and control), not so good for looping continiously, but for a few top-spins it's ok, especcially on BH... I think it's mainly because IMO blade didn't have much dwell-time. As for shape, IMO it didn't affect my game at all, only a weight balance a bit "in the head" kinda make it easier to loop from BH, but I played a normal shaped rackets with the same kinda effect, so...
Rubber experience:
Never played Dignics before, and actually was avoiding to deal with butterfly blades and rubbers for a few years (they price policy kinda "rub me the wrong way"), but it's just happend this time, and I'm glad it did... I very much enjoed 09C on the FH, it's just felt right for me, no cons, and in pros is control of course... 05 on the BH was questionable for me, I need to adjust my technique to make it controllable, basically I need to stop playing with open blade, secondally all movement needs to be forward, if I try to move a bit more upwards, then ball probably goes over the table, this rubber (at least with this blade) if you do forward movement with closed racket still gives a nice arc, and ball goes in to the table on the opponent side, that is very new expierience for me, because if I do this with my other racket (Joola Vyzaryz Trinity with Dynaryz AGR max on both sides) the ball will be in the net, I often need to open my racket more and make more upward movement to create enough arc for ball to go over the net... also had trouble with playing with defenders with 05 on my BH, especcialy when them gave me balls without spin and speed when I unable to do topspin on them, with my other racket I simply carefully push the ball back to my opponent, but with 05 on BH of Cybershape I was struggling to do it, my push often goes too high and/or too far, no control, so I even kinda get mad over one of thouse matches and taked off 05 from Cybershape, I put Dynaryz AGR 2.0 in exchange... and, it was mega-failure, Dynaryz AGR is just terrible match for Cybershape, no control on any element, it's just don't have any dwell-time at all, I even switched to my other racket after only one match at the first tournament I tried to play Cybershape with Dynaryz rubber, and at the evening I put Dignics 05 back on Cybershape, apparently they actually a good match for each other, so trying to adapt my technique for it, and it kinda works already, yesterday won the tournament, and there were only a few mistakes "because of the 05"...
And, if someone interested, a video of my game playing with it (final of the tournament, it was only second day I was playing Cybershape, so it was even before I taked Dignics 05 off the blade...):
Thanks for a opinion, maybe try AGR sometime again... for now I settled for Tenergy 19 on my BH on my main Cybershape, but it has it's cons, it's kinda too simple for my opponents, it's doesn't have much power and speed, and it's has very predictable trajectory, still for the pros it's just very consistent and controllable in everything... on my second Cybershape I have Dignics 09C on both sides, and it's actually great for BH (very powerful and unpredictable trajectory for opponents, especcially after hitting the table), but for me it's too hard for BH, on counter looping it's amazing, but when opponent gives me slow passive ball It's deadly for me...I am currently using R53 on my forehand and Dynaryz AGR on the backhand and I can tell you that the AGR is quite good on the backhand side.

But I cannot say anything bad for AGR on Cybershape Carbon.
Coming also from Trinity. A way better control

I dont't think Trinity has less control, it's just much faster and powerfull, and overall I think Trinity is much better blade, but Cybershape is just suit me more, mostly because it's godly performance with flat attack play...
Also tried DNA Platinum M and Glayzer 09C on BH of Cybershape... Platinum M was very nice, but only for 2 months, then it's suddenly "died", it's just became like a pillow, so for it's price I decided to try something else... Glayzer 09C is very good on flat attack and block, but it's kinda lame on looping, eventually I became so frustrated with it that I tore it off the blade immediatly after losing one of the matches...
Why not your Glayzer tubbers?Just wondered what other rubbers people have been liking on the Cybershape - I have DNA pro H both sides. Im thinking of maybe trying something a little softer on BH - but dont know if pro M will be too pingy. I think DNA H and the cybershape is a great combo of pace and control - but does have a unique feel.
I may try them - well certainly Glayzer but probably not G09c its really not that spiny and/or fast - im not sure I like it that much really, but just regular Glayzer is nice. I do have a spare uncut R45 I might try but think it might be a bit bouncy. Though I can play with D09c/G09c - i think im personally better of without the hybrid style.Why not your Glayzer tubbers?
The Cybershape is a pretty fast blade when you hit hard, but definitely, use whatever you prefer. I haven't tried the Glayzers, but they sound like blade speed dampeners lol. I wouldn't be surprised to find they were in the GT range, but I do like GT when I go for it, but it definitely is not the fastest.I may try them - well certainly Glayzer but probably not G09c its really not that spiny and/or fast - im not sure I like it that much really, but just regular Glayzer is nice.

G09C and GT share a lot of the stable and predictable behavior that a hard sponge provides, but G09C is much safer and tamer in my experience.The Cybershape is a pretty fast blade when you hit hard, but definitely, use whatever you prefer.
