It's funny you should mention the youtube clip of Rory Gallagher performing "Brute Force and Ignorance"; as i was talking to Phil McDonald two weeks ago, who was Rory's sound engineer at the time.

I hadn't seem him for a while and I got a laugh out of seeing his surprise, when I told him about the youtube clips.

I see you switched back to virtuoso, may I ask why? what do you prefer wrt spear?

Haha. That is like adding "Fuel to the Fire" Haha.
 
Adding T05 to the SPEAR is like hitting with a "Souped Up Ford"

To me Spear has enough power that may be control is needed. So 1.7mm Tenergy forehand and 1.5mm Mark V is the most I think is needed if you are under 2000.

I played a tourney once with 1.7mm tenergy on the FH (on acoustic) and I had the most wonderful control and consistent opening loops but the ball would come back again and again...I could never finish off the point even with a strong lead.
1.9mm is the minimum on the fh imo.

I got away from Spear to my Sword Arylate custom with Thors. I had tried Thors on Spear, but that didn't harmonize well due to the top layer softness of the Spear. Thors on the Sword Arylate was a better combination and superior over Spear with Sword Hero Enhanced until all of a sudden and without warning Thors went ballistic and uncontrollable on me. The Virtuoso Hexer+ combo was great at slow to mid speed but at the higher speed, the combination of Tensor kick and Virtuoso kick was too much for me to handle. After I told them about it, OSP recommended a medium hard rubber for the Virtuoso. I got a hold of a slightly used sheet of Xiom Omega IV Pro and when Thors went crazy on me, I thought I give the Virtuoso a try with the new rubber. This is the best harmonizing combination for me yet. Lots of control and feel in the low and mid speeds. Good agility (the blade can be moved quickly without great effort) and lots of control in high speed, high spin situations. My Spear is right now without rubber, but I plan to put the Giant Dragon TopEnergy testing rubber on it once I get it. I have a bunch of IQUL used rubbers for the bh as a neutral choice while I test the fh rubber.
