I always use hard sticky rubbers on my BH . I like to spin and brush. I also feel that soft rubbers do not give me the same control. Boosting does give speed but I seem to be able to generate enough. I am just a mediocre club player not like Tomo Harimoto san 😄

No there is no special factory treatment. Normally , when there is special factory treatment the rubbers come in a Vacuum pack but theses rubbers come in standard packing. I never used a black of the R9. For my forehand (black) I use the Rxton 3 pro

This is my very fav of the R9. No need to boost so of course no orange sponge 😄

I bought a BOER blade at Aliexpress for NZ$ 10 :love:

I had a couple of 100 of those for my robot , they are a great ball for the little money .

I prefer STAG- Seemless, most notably distributed as the Stag Peter Karlsson 40+ 3-Star or the Stag 3 Star Supreme—is a highly regarded plastic ball known for its uniform bounce, durability, and roundness compared to traditional seamed alternatives

And / or also what you got in the drawer 😆

Also just kidding BUT actually yes they are. Japan features an enormous shortage of kids, people live long and there will be not enough income generated to look after the oldies. Women are educates as well as men and refuse to get married have kids and play: Traditional housewife roles...

of course 🤣

This is always good advise 😆 Another one would be from the late great Frank Zappa: " I know when i am licked - all over " 🤣

I am normally paying about NZ$ 15,- for the rxton 3pro which includes postage to New Zealand and 15% Tax. Nobody will consider faking a dirt cheap rubber like this. Now Fake Butterfly rubbers are a completely different animal. 😆 😆 😆 😆

🤣 🤣 🤣 I got some of this spray and will try it out when we get into the hot season here.

not normal but no fake. Just the usual Loki inconsistent quality control

Actually SUKE is rubbish compared to the real SUEKE glue which is the best. Sticks stronger than DHS 15 but comes off in one pull.
