We hear about the "Holy Grail" sometimes on this and other forums. You know, the moment when everything comes together: blade, rubber, glue...body, mind, spirit. It is not too common these days, since most of us are in pursuit of perfection. Now I realize everyone/thing is a work in progress. So the rules are simple:
If you have found or even think you have found the ultimate,"the" setup, the Holy Grail and plan to stick with it for at least 12 months then please submit the following: Blade: Blade Manufacturer, Model, Weight, Handle Style, Dimensions (if desired) FH Rubber: Manufacturer, Name/Style, Thickness BH Rubber: Manufacturer, Name/Style, Thickness Glue: Manufacturer, Name/Type of glue Blade Mods: Rubber Mods: Style of Play: keep it simple here i.e. two-winged looper, close to table attacker, modern defender, chopper, all-around offensive (pick one style you can elaborate on next line) Brief statement of why this setup is working for you: Here youcan mention previous setups that did not work, and why this is the perfect setup. Guidelines: ***Out of respect for the concept of the Holy Grail, try to keep this format as much as possible or suggest a better one and stay on topic as I am going to compile the list into something I hope all of us can use as a reference of what is working. I know many folks will say: Equipment is not that important, why, I could beat half the guys on this forum if you would just give me a beer and an ashtray and a place to play! If you don't believe equipment bears any responsibility in how well a player plays, well...you will find your salvation in another thread. So if you are not a believer, please refrain from posting. Lastly, if you are changing blades whenever Butterfly comes out with a new Zithromax Carbon blade, maybe you are still in search of it and don't have "the" setup. For guys like this, if you truly think you will play with this blade for the next 12 months, then you should go ahead and submit. ------- Post- post: Thanks JimT, I will be adding my setup just as soon as I figure out my rubber combo FH/BH, I got it down to like three diff. FH and hopefully one backhand. Thanks opinari, I also play with Xiom blade. Care to share your secret weapon model? |

I don't think this is perfect for everyone, but I've been using this setup for two years now.
Blade: Five-Ply Limba FH: Sriver L BH: Sriver FX/EL Glue: Clean Chack Style of Play: Close to Mid-Distance FH Loop/BH Drive I actually use a Xiom blade but to be honest, I've used other five-ply limbas and can't tell much of a difference. My level is pretty low (~<1700) and this setup has been great in building the fundamentals; if I miss a shot, it's pretty obvious why. |

Blade: DHS Dipper Off+1, 80 gr, FL
FH: milkyway venus 2.0 BH: quattro 2.0 Glue: Art Cement Style of Play: close to the table blocker The medium vibration helps my feeling in the blocking game, whether my blocks r out of place or not, it also aids in the short game where i need that sensitive feedback. EXTRMEELY LIGHT setup |
