Small update here. I tried adding glycerin to my long pips (Spinlord Dornenglanz) just for fun and that rubber got very tacky and a bit softer. I can pick up a ball a fraction of a second with it. So, very different reaction to different rubbers it seems. Sadly i will have to buy a new long pips...

I love what this post has turned in to 😅

Sounds like a fun experiment, refinement would be a time consuming process though when it comes to levels beeing released over time, and the product will have a best before date, but still, if you have time, fun! :) since i live in that old big house built of wood i have read up a bit on...

I don't follow, you mean that the inverted rubber has become sticky due to the long pips? Sounds odd, tell me more. 🤔

What?

No, but i will add that to the list :D

Nice thinking, and ambitious post 👏 i think we could get along quite well and have very interesting discussions :LOL: Very valid and interesting factors that you are bringing up with the gases released by wood. Below is the answers to some of your questions ----> 1. The house is indeed a big...

I wipe it on my manly hairy forearm. I have no issues what so ever generating enough sweat to make this possible after a 2 hours session.

No, the racket was laying with the effected rubber slightly face down(partly exposed) on a shirt laying on a chair. The side that was facing upwards is long pips.

I thought about layering sponges, that would be really interesting but i guess it is illegal?

I kinda figured, im sure it is a good product, but marketing went a bit "creative" there :D

Ohhh, something to add to the list! :D

Hey all! Pretty new player here — I've been playing for about a year or so. I fell very much in love with the sport, but with kids and work I don't have the possibility to play as much as I'd like. I tend to satisfy my urges by spending way too much time on forums, reading up on equipment...

I might not be understanding this fully but when you say "The sponge compresses under impact, stores energy, and then releases that energy back into the ball." Is that not, if broken down to basics how all sponges except dampening ones work?

Nice! I often use the reverse version of this stroke when receiving serves im a bit unsure about.(Assuming you are right handed, swipe left with same racket angle as in video and ball at highest point etc.) I will try this out for sure though, great work!
