If i used booster or oil, would this work?

Thank you Suga D. But after reading about if i still don't understand why stretch the sponge?

 

[Der_Echte]

The concept in play is if the topsheet is dull and the sponge halfdead, then stretching it a little makes it more responsive and dynamic than the dead state it was. The tuner also give a little more "Juice" to sponge to make it spin the ball better.

So we should do that only when the rubbers is almost dead, right? there is no point in stretching something new, right?

We could, of course get Next Level into the fray and give a 3 minute presentation to speak on the important subject of the Tension Fairy... that would get a lot of interesting comments from Pnchy, plus a lot of no nonsense retorts from NL, then a lot of Fairy BABE pics from Carl to complete the LULZ.

Everyone will contribute their experience. I have only tuned a few old rubbers for LULZ, but enough to know how it is done.

The objective of tuning a NEW rubber's sponge is to make the sponge even more spinnier. The stretching kinda eliminates some of the lower speed performance (you lost a little of the dynamic properties of topsheet) but that allows you on your solid struck balls to add more spin, which increases your control, while applying more pressure on opponent or just winning the point.

For me, and Next Level agrees, MX-P plays just fine for me (and also NL) even after the tuner effect of POWER of ZEUS is over and done. The topsheet of MX-P is under-rated good, so is sponge. My style of impact is well suited to MX-P or the other way around.

Therefore, I have no need to tune MX-P.

if an opponent told me right before match he tuned the daylights outta hiz H3 or Tibhar Rapid... I would say congratulations on spending a couple hours and less than $1 USD to make the performance of the rubber approach that of expensive top of line T05, whose high level of performance you could simply buy and use for a few weeks at a time at the rate of $70 USD or higher per sheet.

Here is the deal. The treatment of the TOPSHEET: That is for when the topsheet has lost its grip and it makes no intelligent sense to do that when the rubber is new.

Boosting: what this does is expand the sponge. What expanding the sponge does is

1) make the air bubbles bigger.
2) make the sponge bigger, softer, more elastic, easier to get the ball to sink in, and you get a fuller rebound.
3) the topsheet is still glued to the sponge so it gets stretched and that makes the topsheet also more elastic.

The net result is more spin, more speed, AND MORE EASY TO CONTROL.

This is the same thing speed glue did only, speed glue did it better but the effect only lasted for a day or two.

However, all you have to do is try boosting a rubber with a good boost chemical and you will know for yourself how it changes the way a rubber plays.

And if your topsheet is dead and you boost your sponge, it will make the rubber play a little better but it won't make the topsheet grab too much better.

And you can also say: the treatment of the topsheet won't boost the sponge but will get the topsheet to grab the ball better for a few weeks; maybe a month.

Damn Carl... You really can teach. I don't know if it is from the yoga or if it is a personal thing, but you really can make people understand!!

No disrespect Der_Echte, i understanded what you say. But Damn Carl.

Here is a quick tutorial on how to get started. Every great thing begins in the kitchen....

Don't worry about it Necax, I am here to make Carl look good.

OMG, this has got to be the funniest thread in a while.

Kokain, I was laughing so hard my sides hurt.

And Der_Echte, you always know how to make me laugh.

Thanks for the kind words Necax007. It definitely made me laugh also, especially with Der_Mister's response added.
