L-sized Acoustic vs Tenor vs Schlager FL Pics

Peter,nice post!See,the newer Acoustics come with different ly finished outer veneers.I compared some images of these blades from older threads.
L-Acostic looks very nice.Very tempting again.

I know,the head size of Acoustic is smaller,that is why it feels stiffer.I got a tensor on a BH side of my Tenor and 1.9 mm Bryce speed.I plan to replace it with a sheet of black Darker on a blue sponge.That should make a monster FH,but I suspect it might become too bouncy for me.
Peter,you gotta try this sheet.Look for it at ttnpp.com.It has to be black sheet/blue sponge.

well peter, if your tb alc st is a good one (right weight range and stiffness) in my experience i like it more than the acoustic or violin.

Very good handle.   of course, t05 in fh plays also perfect.

What is your weight of your ALC? Mine is 94 gr which is rather heavy.
Yes I don't expect ALC to be so good
If it's vibrates like Acoustic or Violin then it will be a perfect blade.

I did try Spin Art on my Acoustic, and personally I preferred it over Provincial H3. However, I should add the caveat that I only used Spin Art for two weeks. I cannot give any valid estimation of its durability. It could be durable, it could not be.

Honestly though, I was seduced by Tenergy 05. Nothing has as large a speed-to-spin ratio. That is, there are faster rubbers, and there are more spinny rubbers... but none of them are both as fast and as spinny as Tenergy 05, IMO. Yet, I'm starting to wonder if Tenergy is still over my head. My great shots are even greater, but my bad shots are more frequent. I'm missing the control of Spin Art (and other Chinese rubbers), but I love the slightly softer feel of Tenergy (and other Jap/Euro rubbers).

I may soon break my "heart" in the HEART club... I think. The Donic Coppa Platin has been manifesting some annoying yet consistent anomalies and, as I said, I'm not sure if I'm yet capable enough to tame Tenergy. I'm looking at downgrading to some Bryce FX on both sides, or perhaps going back to Spin Art on my forehand.

I'd be happy to hear your suggestions...

Thanks tdragon. That's encouraging to hear. I really liked the control and spin I got with Spin Art, but the feel of Tenergy is so nice. Hopefully Bryce FX will give me a decent balance of both.

Disappointed with it on Acoustic? Or just disappointed with it in general? I play with it on my BH and think it works great for more controlled BH play.

I've toyed around recently with Bryce FX on my backhand. It is much slower than anything I've ever used. However, something I love about it is its predictability. Other tensors have given me many "WTF?!" moments, wherein my mistakes were a total mystery to me. Yet, with Bryce FX, even though it's neither terribly fast or spinny, it is extremely predictable. As long as I focus on my shots, I don't make as many mistakes... and when I do, I understand why. It's a huge trade off--total predictability for speed and spin. I have a sheet of Bryce Speed FX to try. Perhaps it will bridge the gap.

Anton, I prefer Tenergy 05 on BH more than on FH.
I'm confused to choose between T05, T64, Hexer or Roxon 500 Pro on BH.

T05 has the most balanced spin speed ratio as you says, but I found it sensitive to spin.

T64 is faster but has less spin than T05, it feels softer too, It might not too suitable for Acoustic which has soft feel.

Hexer is the slowest among those 4 rubbers, it has a bit Chinese feel, very good on return serve and short game, but must use more power to loop from mid distance.

Roxon 500 pro has the best feel, I like tensor feel, it's the hardest tensor I've tried, very nice to block with Roxon 500 pro, not too sensitive with incoming spin. But I must buy the new red color since mine is black.

Meanwhile on Forehand, I'll use Spin Art which is available in Indonesia next month.

If you compared T05 vs H3 Provincial 40 deg vs Spin Art in terms of hardness, which is the hardess?
Is it H3 Provincial>Spin Art>T05?

I like harder rubber on softer blade like Acoustic. So if you like soft rubber maybe my suggestion of rubber doesn't suits you well

this is really strange... looking at your pics seems that acoustic and tenor have the same thickness.... i thought acoustic was thinner in the ORIGINAL version.

i really need glasses then... ;) btw i just ordered Lsize acoustic ST.. hope will arrive soon

bought from nexy

ok, thanks.. hope to find good matching rubbers now.. will try with Genius first..

I think it is different from the previous design which is a classic butterfly logo.  For this Serial # starting with I0XXXXX, I felt that the handle was a bit slimmer compare to # starting with J0XXXX or even old version. Thank you.

I've checked the round plastic lens. It's still the classic butterfly logo.
I have the old generation which I trade it with old Nittaku 1 Ply hinoki.
The handle is about the same, otherwise I would notice it.
The difference between the oldest version and the current version is the oldest version seems to use american yellowish hinoki. The current version hinoki is whiter.

so, is that round lens from PC or SC?  Does Older SC w/o serial nos. have different kinda lens from this one?
