Controls over service, service return and pre-attack rally are professionally accurate. Backhand attacks are far more comfortable to make and become magically flexible to manage. Winning probability of MUSA to a classic offensive player reaches higher than any other classic rubbers. Unforced error in your game reduces dramatically to stabilize your pace and to dominate the game eventually. MUSA has the innovative physical construction to generate more energy on the ball. Your power-charged ball makes the quality attack with sharp speed and heavy spins to open more winning opportunities. Be sensible to the real result and Win with us. So wow. Many spin. Such attack.Statistics: Posted by LordCope — 18 Jul 2019, 22:23 Collapse

Another (NK) was a perennial T05 user whose level jumped a few levels (especially in his serve, return of serve & short game) after he switched to H3N on both sides of his HL5. And the best player also was a perennial T05 user who switched to a harder, better, 'less forgiving' rubber. The 4th player has been the scourge of all chinese coaches on the East coast & has grown up using Joola rubbers since he was a kid.Even in the international circuit, even Dima was recently photographed using Dignics both sides. Timo changed from a T05 FH. So did Harimoto, WCT, Lin Yun Ju and the others. At this level, it is very hard to force change but it happened. Even on BH, so many players (like Ding Ning, Collapse
