Hi yogi I'm a fan of your reviews. Can you give me some tips about cheap boosters for h3 neo I'm interested in a alternative way like baby oil or paraffin but I don't know what can be a good booster replacement

For Rubbers

1. Stick to same Rhyzer 48 and 43
2. Stiga DNA pro M
3. Razka 7
4. Rozena
5. Tenergy 05fx

My son has Rozena on all wood blade and it’s very consistent and a blocking machine.

I would say he needs something with control. He previously used Rhyzer 48 both sides and I told him try the 43 for more control and it helped him so I would say something like that.

Questions are how do the others compare to Rhyzer 48 and 43 that he had before so then I can give him accurate advice.

Cheers buddy

He asked for my advice on equipment. I use Apolonia with Dignics 09c and 80 but won’t recommend that as I know it will not suit him. I would recommend something close to what he had but I don’t want to give him wrong advice so if I may list some suggestions below and you give me feedback.

Blade

1. Victus zx gear IN or Victus gear fibre
2. Butterfly IFL ALC
3. Stick to same as before Joola Fever

I’m guessing as fever was composite he may want another composite I haven’t actually asked.

Hi yogi

Rather than opening up old threads I tho I ask u directly. A team mate contacted me for advice and has had all his equipment stolen and is looking to replace but I think he’s looking for something different. It makes me think that he’s not had it stolen but is embarrassed to say he’s a EQJ and wants to try something else lol... anyway..,
He previously had joola fever blade with rhyzer 48 on fh and Rhyzer 43 on Bh. However at one stage I did advice him to try something bit slower on fh for control but he didn’t really listen.

yogi you have a lot of yinhe T1S blades right? Can you tell me what the code is to verify if it is authentic or false on the yinhe website

Hi, Yogi. Have you tried 39 degree version of Kokutaku 007 Pro.Selected?

Hey Yogi, not sure if you still remember but when you reviewed Azalea blade, do you recall how the surface of the blade was like? Is it similar to the usual Stiga wood blade for which lacquering is recommended? Or do you think the surface is already treated from the factory and there is no need to lacquering? Might be ordering one from TT11 and not sure if I should ask for lacquering service or not.

I've also wanted to try a Chinese rubber once but never did it coz I'm quite weak at my forehand basics. In the start I was good with Omega V Asia on my forehand but now I want a rubber like can say Dignics 05 but I can't afford it as it's way too expensive and I can't keep buying it everytime as we don't get genuine equipment here in India. Suggest me a rubber which should somewhat work like Dignics 05. Or suggest me where I can get this rubber only at a feasible/affordable/economical price.
I want to buy a Viscaria or Long 5, Butterfly Free Chack Pro or any good glue, Butterfly Hard Case, 2pcs of Red Backhand Rubbers, and 2pcs of Black Forehand Rubbers.

Basically, I want to change my forehand rubber because I have a some problem in my forehand action and this time there's a little disturbance with it. I'm working upon it and soon I'll be perfect at it I know coz I'm working hard to form a particular action. And please suggest me ways to master one proper forehand action. I really need to work hard! I'm satisfied with my backhand. I have great backhand strokes and a good weel too. I have no problem in my backhand. I just need to be a little consistent coz the only reason I lose is always my rash/negative points.
I want to overcome this.
So, this was the reason I've been so confused with my new setup.
Actually, I want to opt a dominant, aggressive, attacking and offensive + playing style. So I want to have a good forehand too. I don't want slow or normal spinney topspin like Timo, but hard hits like Ma Long or Zhang Jike's playing style.

Hey Yogi, can you please explain me for the suggestion you made for the rubber selection I need to do. Your suggestions seem to be practical and good for me. Thanks!

My Current Setup - Butterfly Timo Boll ZLC, Xiom Omega V Asia Max (forehand) and Yasaka Rakza 7 Max (backhand).

Blade - Butterfly Viscaria / Hurricane Long 5?

Forehand rubber - Tibhar Evolution MX-P 50°, DHS Goldarc 8 50°, Andro Rasanter R47, Xiom Omega VII. Or any other?
But, leaving all, I would love to go for Dignics 05 (but it's way too costly) can I get it from somewhere at a feasible/economical/affordable price?

Backhand, I'm happy with Yasaka Rakza 7.
And yes, for once, can you compare Rakza 7 and Rasanter R47 for backhand? Which is beteer?
