Plays G-1 on the forehand of an Andro Treiber CI after trying Rasanter R47, which looped better but didn't feel linear; G-1 gives the flatter, direct trajectory they prefer and feels harder than its stated hardness. For the backhand they chose the softer R42.
“I tried initially with Rasanter 47 but it did not feel linear. It was better than G1 in looping but my play style prefers a flatter trajectory. G1 gave me this directness.”
Tried G-1 in max on both a Stiga Cybershape Wavy and an Allround Classic: on the very fast Wavy they struggled to get the best out of it, while on the Allround Classic it was easy and comfortable. Would still choose G-1 for the Wavy next time, but in 1.8 mm for more control.
Used the G-1 on a Stiga Cybershape Truls Edition blade and found it far too bouncy there; thinks harder, tackier rubbers suit such a hard blade better.
Says the G-1 is working really well for them so far and likes the different gears it has close to the table; they play it in 2.0 mm on the forehand.
