My WCQ rubber sticks the ball for 4-5 seconds after boosting, that's enough I think. A bunch of stickiness only slow the shots down (I also experiences this thing when using D09C both sides, depends on the tackiness of the rubber, which one is less tackier, that's mean older, I will use for the backhand and tackier one for the forehand, since in backhand I need my rubber shoot it faster for the BH-BH exchange and for the FH I need it more carrying so that I could take the ball more later after the bounce).
Someone will think all spinny shot are better but no, after 3 or 4 shots the opponents gonna adjust with your spin and smash or counter the hell out of your slow spinny one. We just need mainly the grippy characteristics of the rubber, tacky will help dealing in the short game and or addition a little bit more into grippiness, and then we vary our shot based on the situation. Tackiness in the short game is a hack, and it's also help dealing with half-long serves (which you will need a little bit more grippy in thin contact). I agree with the new trend of H3 from DHS, and would love to continue to use it, the game's trend is getting faster and faster. I have used like 5 H3 sheet since I started with chinese rubber, all blue sponge, boosting many times and never met a problem about it degrades or bubble (I use Kai-Lin). The only problem is after reboost the 4rd times, I feel like it isn't hard any more and become too much squishy for me and my shot become less power (the kick when you carry the ball and shoot it), that's when I will get a new sheet.
Not really, same as the h3 N version, rubber and sponge a little different, tackiness I think they are just very similar neo version. Not like the old H3 .
How come Fantastic_muffin said his special H3 can hold up a ball for so long?
