Got it from tt11. And yeah , read in many places once you go blue.. didn’t know there was provincial h8-80. Guess i got lucky with my batch.

Zyre and too much dwell time? Whaat?

Oh about boosting methods.. saw Zhang Jike's video of boosting. What got me interested is he says he does 2 or 3 layers of booster on sponge, then 2 layers of glue, then another layers of boost? What's up with that? Anyone does that? I usually always put the booster first , 2 layers of glue and...

Thank you everyone. Will do one layer only for now. Will keep in mind it needs more breaking in time too, Orange felt good right away, lets see how it is with the blue!

Just picked up my BS H3N 38 , planning to use on forehand. Its my 2nd chinese rubber, but not sure how to boost that one. Currently been playing for a month with OS provincial 39 on the forehand (as per the guide released here couple months ago) and i am loving it, but really want to test the...

Is someone using H3N on stiff and hard blades? Wouldn’t it be easier to activate the rubbers? Thinking of trying orange sponge on a SALC, anyone done that? Or maybe normal alc.. for example i liked 09c on my salc a lot more than on fzd alc.

Watching the final now, definitely looks like a SALC. Obviously no idea about the rubbers. Damn.. that 2nd game cost him.

Kanak seems to be using SALC, has he gone 2x Zyre too?

I have gone 180 on Zyre regarding serves. Used 09c before. Long serves are much better and easier to disguise than with 09c. Something about the low dwell time i guess, not really sure but my long and half-long serves after using zyre for a month are now much better than they were with 09c...

Used D80 more than a year ago and as far as i remember the feel - i agree. The thing with me is my bh is the weakest side, but i do lots of chop block, side swipes, rubbing the ball from it’s momentum etc. and for this i believe Zyre is better as it’s more dead at those “shots”. Agree? Don’t...

How would you compare D80 and Zyre then? In terms of spin sensitivity and ease of engagement?

Hey @mvibritannia . How is the setup going for you? Could you elaborate on the throw angle of the mizutani against viscaria salc (or fzd salc) if you have played them? The Super Viscaria is a bit too flat/direct and i'm looking for something in between it and normal alc. Also , interesting you...

How come its not linear with SALC? Compared to normal alc? I boost it once just to soften it and increase feeling and control. I actually will probably like it better when speed improvement disappears in a month. Now.. i never said spin isn’t important, i know spin rules the game. What i meant...

It’s linear because it’s very hard. Even though speed is above 05 and 09c (probably at about 80) the control And touch shots is just below 09c. Activates a bit harder than 05 but not by much and easier than 09c. Arc on medium power shots and punches is very direct and medium like. On strong...

I am speaking about level of play of about 1800 according to this video on youtube . My matches look like the clip starting at 5:45. Used to play with Ovcharov Alc and then FZD ALC for almost 2 years, been going through 09c, 05, 80 and lately Zyre 03. Now got Viscaria Super ALC and put 2x...
