what are people using to boost rubbers now due to the glue ban?

[Ferdy]

I usually stand my paddle up in a corner get a chair and talk to it. When it plays well I praise it, when it's bad (missing shots) it has to do time out in the corner for a day. This week it has been really bad.

Lmao!! its very annoying when your bat is poor.. i feel the bat is the player at times maybe im wrong ha

To be honest most of new rubbers don´t need to be tuned. Unglued Calibra is a beast and some others, however, some of them need an extra kick (mines Xiom VP or any chinese). Dandoy´s works fine and last years...

Ah good to hear!

The best to use is boost from companys such as stiga, butterfly, dandoy... you need to get your hands on them... There are haifu chinese versions to

thanks!i didnt know anything about these boosts

 

[Baal]

The one from Dandoy is really good.

If anyone is interested in buying the old school speed glue then let me know at [email protected]

Speed glue is not illegal its just not allowed to be used in any events under ITTF rules, buy for practice or events not under ITTF rules it can be used freely.

 

[Atomichaos]

so can someone tell me how to boost with baby oil/any oil pls and thank u xD

Isn't tuning illegal now? Why are they being sold

 

[jkc]

Tuning is illegal in official competitions which follow ITTF rules. If someone chooses to tune their rubbers for a bit of fun in practice then that is their choice. The ITTF have no power to prevent manufacturers making the stuff, dealers dealing in it and players using it for this purpose. Sadly because it can't be detected more and more people are tuning for official competition and it is fairly obvious that all the pro's are at it too although their get-out seems to be that it is 'factory tuned' so it is OK. Why should they be able to do something that we can't anyway?

Olive Oil is good. For most of my rubber it expands as I wish

 

[madamada]

some rubbers are factory tuned

I put 2 new sheets of Calibra on my bat this week, so had a bit of a play around with the old sheets. After a couple of layers of the old Falco Tempo booster that I had kicking around. Anyway OMG it is quick. It's the nearest thing to the feel of Speed Glue and sounds pretty much like it too when you give it some welly. Throw angle seems higher than it was too. I only managed about 15 mins with Fred, but with the increase in throw, it felt like I was playing with ultra-fast Tenergy. Not sure how controllable it is, might have a bit of a hit against someone a bit better this week if I can find time.

 

[billalphonso79!]

does anybody know if and where i can find some old speed glue cans?

 

[billalphonso79!]

The one from Dandoy is really good.

does it have the same effects as the old glues?have you tried it?

WTF, I've never seen this. Anyone tried this?

Boosting is putting the stuff on the other side of the rubber..

 

[TTOski]

Evryone! Use the calibra sponge from STIGA. You don't need to booost them, just clean them evry day with water!

 

[jkc]

You are quite right, you don't NEED to with Calibra, but everyone wants that little bit more. I'm sure if they brought glue back tomorrow, everyone would be buying the fastest rubber they can and gluing them like mad even though 90% of players wouldn't be able to control them.
