my 2 cents Sword HD997 feel nothing like W968 but arc seems to act like it Power G 7 said to be good to learn large stokes that the w968 has , but...

As long as I stretch any rubber while glueing it is shrunk after removing (some more, other less). That's my experience .

I've seen many viscaria clones either use kiri like bty or ayous. I haven't seen a limba core blade, because more often than not, it's always seen as...

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one to experience that. I just peeled and re-glued a Fastarc G1 Red sheet in the relatively new Max thickness. It...

Thanks maybe i will try that. Brand new this was one of my favorite bh rubbers. But ive been irritated that it shrunk after i tried it on a new blade.

Another example: fitness shoes. Nike has now completely given up on Air midsoles and does like Reebok with the Nano X series. The Reebok Nano X, X1...

Speaking of this. LEmuria seems to think BTY koto blades use a koto-alc-limba-kiri pattern. Stuor seems to think its a koto-alc-ayous-kiri...

I have a Presto Max Spin that shrunk a bit, and I added a couple of layers of the TT REvolution No.3 booster to the sponge, and it got the bounce...

And yes indeed that's why some people put booster in those rubbers to get them back at the right dimension.

It will not do more to let the rubber on the blade for more time to prevent from this issue: it's a physics issue, as long as there's air in...

With its global shortage, if you can buy one, then buy one asap.

Should look into buying a mini air pump to maintain the rubber... Hmm.

Oh that's a bit depressing to find out. I wish I hadn't taken the Presto Speed rubber off the blade then. Should I put booster on it to try to...

Exactly, the air cells deflate, less air = less catapult. That's why many people find the old shrunk ESN/Jap rubbers to be slow after 6 months.

The FB2X is more than 6.0 mm thick, it's actually the same as a W968 or an Ovtcharov. All DHS X blades (as the H301X for example) are just regular...

Actually any innerforce ALC or ZLC with thin core blade will do it, the W968 or BTY Ovtcharov are innerforce ALC fast blades because their ayous core...

So when the rubber shrinks, does the catapult effect diminish?

Yeah, pretty sure Harimoto ALC or ZLC fits the bill for slower carbon. The one you linked is exactly the one I got. But the ALC version is probably...

That because you've never seen an Andro Rasanter one hahaha Juts look at that thread and the photo shows how damn large air cells are the Rasanter...

I don't understand. I have some Chinese rubbers like Loki GTX and Palio Hadou 40+ and Reactor Ckylin Pro. All of these have very large visible pores....

Read my answer and you'll know why ;) a chinese porous sponge is nothing more than an hybrid ESN/Jap rubber, that's why many people here uses the H8,...

So you have to stay in the OFF- range, not in the OFF range, 1350 Hz is considered being the higher OFF- limit. You need something in between the...

Why don't Chinese porous sponges shrink?

So when the rubber shrinks, does that mean the original catapult effect is diminished?

The sponge is an ESN/Jap type on that rubber, kind of chinese version of an ESN/Jap rubber, not the "typical" chinese sticky rubber so. And Yes all...

I find 1350hz pretty fast already. My fb2x is that frequency- I find that the arc on the ball is a lot flatter because of its stiff nature.

Do all ESN rubbers shrink? What causes this shrinking? I have a sheet of Friendship Presto Max Speed, which is not even a ESN rubber. But to my...

Definitely Butterfly Innerforce ZLC or Harimoto ZLC, it's rated a tad above the 1400Hz frequency or so... for most of the users I know who have...
