Friendship/729 Presto Speed
|

Review of Friendship/729 Presto SpeedThere are 42 degree and 44 degrees tires on sale. I took the 42nd degree for myself, which in my opinion will be about 45 degrees compared to the tensor. Not sticky, the top layer above the sponge is soft, not slow in speed, has a catapult, although the overlay itself is not a tensor, but it feels very similar to it. Suitable for beginners or intermediate players. I glued myself to DHS Fang Bo B2X, it feels pretty cool, you can do an arc, but I think it would be better to do it with a sponge with 44 degrees. In general, the rubber is very interesting, in my opinion, at a very affordable price.Jan 24, 2024 | |||

Friendship/729 Dragon-F

Review of Friendship/729 Dragon-FRegarding the rubber, it is indicated that the speed: 7.8 - but I will say that in terms of speed it is much faster than this, about 8.8 and yes, it will be faster than Yinhe Big Deeper, about the speed of Xiom Vega X. In terms of speed, I would also put the figure somewhere between 8.8 and 8.9. I want to say that the tires are good, I really liked them because they are affordable and also quite good. At first I glued them to the DHS Fang Bo B2X base, but it worked better for me on the Butterfly Viscaria. I have a 729 Dragon F Medium - according to my observations, it is about 52 degrees relative to the tensors, the sponge is 2.1 mm thick and does not catapult, it gives quite powerful revs, it is pleasant to play. But it opens up better with boost. I use it for forehand, although the manufacturer says that it can be used for backhand, but as for me, you need to be better technically prepared, but it is possible. It gives a good arc. The top-sheet itself is soft, but paired with a sponge, it has a fairly solid feel when playing.Translated with DeepL.com (free version) Feb 15, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Stiga (2)

Stiga Mantra PRO H

||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Stiga Mantra PRO HUsed on a regular basis for backhand, also on Stiga Inspira, Butterfly InnerForce, Xiom Ignita, Stiga Wavy (current). It has speed, spins well, Japanese production, noticeably more rubber in the rubber, soft rubber, quite good ball hook at an acute angle. I took Nittaku Hummond Z2 as a replacement (produced at the same Daiki factory, Japan). In my opinion, the resource is longer than that of ESN inserts. It sits quite well on Wavy or on pure wood, the sensations are very clear and pleasant. Carefully select for fast bases, because most likely there will be a blaster in your hands. For those who will buy, keep in mind - it is strongly stretched at the factory, after the second or third plywood it shrinks in size, cut with a margin.Apr 30, 2026 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Stiga Mantra PRO XH

||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Stiga Mantra PRO XHI choose it as a forehead pad, I play it on: Stiga Inspira, Xiom Ignita, InnerForce ALC, Stiga Wavy (current). Even bigger than the H version, it gives more spin - all other parameters are the same as throughout the line (soft top layer, more rubber, sharp hook, not sticky, has a catapult). It is difficult to bend on fast bases (shoots hard), as well as on bases like InnreForce, which are thicker than 5.8 mm - the pad feels much stiffer (feels like on InnerForce). A little more resource than ESN pads (in my opinion). Everything else is satisfied and I do not plan to change it yet. The main thing for me is especially Japanese production, more life, more details in the pads, higher quality, purely from my experience.Apr 30, 2026 | |||||||||||||||||||||
