I started the same way, but eventually I moved away from carbon and I found that I was getting destroyed with 5ply wood and Chinese rubbers. So I played with h3 turbo blue and bluestorm pro am on intensity and was actually a near perfect setup, until the hurricane bubbled. So I'm back to...

Lately I've started to understand why Chinese say the blade is more important. I find little difference nowadays when I change rubbers, as long as they're in good condition and not pips or anti, but differences in blade hits pretty hard. Center of mass and overall weight has started to really...

In general, t05 dies off in a predictable manner, it looses performance gradually but stays consistent and reliable all the way through. When the g1 starts to wear down, it becomes unpredictable and hard to use as efficiently as t05. G1 maintains more grip on the topsheet, but regarding maximum...

Yep. The performance ratio of sponge and topsheet far outlasts the g1. Especially the sponge.

Sure bud

If it's not just a fake, it could be a China exclusive. This looks like a poor translation like many other China only products they have, don't think it's ai or just photoshop.

You see, that's different. It's one thing to increase the ability of a rubber linearly, and a whole other to alter its purpose. It's like allowing more boost in naskar vs using an other type of car with them, like an indy. The one just enhances, the other changes the very purpose of the rubber.

From what I heard these were banned because a guy from ittf was butthurt that he was getting his ass kicked by one. I wouldn't believe it, but it honestly sounds so pathetic that I believe it. Of course the ittf would do something like that.

Russian propaganda

One alters the sponge, which only affects rebound, the other changes the very grip characteristics of the top sheet. One is altered/tuned, the other is damaged. That's the difference.

Currently any form of chemical treatment is prohibited, voc or not. I think voc should stay banned but safe oil based tuners to be allowed and registered in the larc for legal use. Just like other equipment like rubbers and balls. It would be hard to monitor all kinds of boosters, but if they...

As long as they're not treated with voc materials due to health concerns, but I don't see why players shouldn't be allowed to tune their rubbers with safe methods like oil based boosters. Only for the sponge though, doing anything to the topsheet should be illegal, I've seen a few guys though...

I'll give him a foot up his babushka.

There's almost none left and what's left is like dry glue, I don't know how good it'll do trying to remove it.

Can you fuck off?
