Topsheet looks very good and the grip is high. On the cover it talks about the "Golden Cake" sponge, and the sponge does indeed look quite different, and feels a lot softer too! Anyone tried it yet? _________________ | ||||

However I've heard other rave about, telling me how spinny it and comparing it to T05, so I think there are significat variation between sheets, and some play a lot better than other. I played against a friend with the KTL Red Diamond last night, and this sheet was nothing like the one i tried before. I was a lot softer for one thing. Playing against it his loops were very spinny, as were his serves and pushes... a lot more than usualy. On hits the rubber was loud, an obvious tuning effect. His hitting was very good too. I forgot to check what blade he's using, but from memory it's a fairly basic but hard blade. He uses Palio LPs OX in the other side. On the same night, someone returned a sheet of KTL Black Power to me, as it bubble badly in the middle of the sheet. Sounds to me like they have some quality control issues, but some of their sheets are very good! _________________ | ||||

I have several and one stood out from day one. It is tackier, faster and even looks different than the others. The top sheet is shiny, tacky and translucent. You can see the pip pattern through it. It is a year old now and still is tacky. The tack on the others went down after a short time. | ||||

I've only seen one so far, so i hope they others are similar. _________________ | ||||
