Does anyone know: what is the difference between rubbers G.D.Talon (OX) and G.D.Talon National Team?

Sorry I hadn't even heard of the national team version. Find it hard to believe Talon would be used by a national team member when Dtecs is a superior version of much the same pip. Maybe its just been called that like many DHS rubbers are, to indicate its a better version (or to justify a higher price :P )

This is for small countries with a sparse budget for equipment for their team. They practice with hard bats and only use this rubber when playing in tournaments.

Based on TTDD.DE, the National version of Talon is softer and slower (even though the manufacturers specs say that it's faster).
Ordered 3 sheets to see it they are any better than regular Talon.. Soft is good... so softer should be better.

PB,

So, I see that after testing Easy P with BH you didn't decide to switch... not distruptive enough?

Easy P is a little too hard for my taste. I'm still playing Talon but Easy P is a good rubber. It has a good trajectory.

It was slower on active shots but faster when blocking fast topspins. It does not have the dampening effect of Talon. It is somewhat similar to Spinlord Zeitgeist but a little faster than Zeitgeist.
