Is this a good combination? Blade: Stiga Tube Light (penhold) FH: NEO Skyline 2 TG2 BH: Focus 3 Snipe (got better suggestions?) I'd like the whole thing to be 145g-165g :) |

145g-165g sounds optimistic for a set up with a TG 2, which is so far the heaviest rubber I've come across. TG3N is lighter has better speed and the same spin ------------- Hallmark Carbon Extreme (x3) FH: D05/G1/RX BH: Z2/D64/Ω7Pro |

If you get a light Focus III Snipe it will probably weigh about 36-38g cut. If the blade is 77g or so, you already used up 113 to 115g. Assuming TG2 is really heavy as Kolev says, it probably weighs 50g cut. That's going to put you right at your 165g top end. |

By TG2, you did mean a TG2 NEO right? :) That's weird..cause according to this forum, TG2 NEO is lighter than TG3 NEO TG2 NEO has a rated weight of 5.4 http://www.tabletennisdb.com/rubber/dhs-neo-skyline-2-tg2.html But TG3 NEO has a rated weight of 6.3 http://www.tabletennisdb.com/rubber/dhs-neo-skyline-3-tg3.html But I'm guessing those ratings are very very subjective as they only come from the forum community? |

Thanks for the offer, but I'm in the Philippines, so I can't have it shipped all the way here if ever I go with a yeo cpen :) Any lighter blades you have in mind that is OFF- or OFF ? :) |

Alright! sounds good. Yeah, heard that the Focus III snipe is light. Is it a good backhand rubber though? And if ever I pair it with a TG2 which is heavy, how would that feel on a racket since the front is heavier than the back? Wouldn't it feel off-balanced or awkward? |

Oh, thanks! That would be great :) I wonder, would there be a difference between the red and the black sheet? They should, in theory, be the same right? :)) But some say there's a difference? :/ |

Most of the time the black is tackier ------------- Hallmark Carbon Extreme (x3) FH: D05/G1/RX BH: Z2/D64/Ω7Pro |

Black is usually tackier and/or spinnier because the black colouring allows more tackiness/spin (please correct me if I misphrased anything) TG2 is a heavy rubber so it with that setup would be about 175g+. It would feel head heavy, go for it if you like that feeling. ------------- Zhang Jike ALC AN (88g) Tenergy 05 Hard (2.1, B) Tenergy 19 (2.1, R) https://goo.gl/bFWoxW" rel="nofollow - https://goo.gl/bFWoxW |
