  2. Reducing head-heaviness by gluing differently

    Since I apply so little glue, yes. Trying to remove the glue from the rubber would have only a marginal effect I believe, and I risk damaging the rubber. I don't reglue that often, only when I want to test a different bat/rubber combo. After an arbitrary amount of times, if I see that the glue...
  3. Reducing head-heaviness by gluing differently

    Aha of course, that would make more sense. Still a bit surprised about the wheight difference, but I tend to use very very little glue (only a single layer). Anyway, I'm glad you have such great results! I would advise to seal the blade when using this glueing technique often, as the added water...
  4. Reducing head-heaviness by gluing differently

    Yes, it was me who wrote about using a damp sponge. But I find that result quite surprising. If you reglued, you're only adding material, not removing any. So the blade should have to wheigh at least as much as before you reglued. I think there might be something else in play...
  5. How to spread thick glues? (DHS. No 15)

    I soak my sponge in water first, then squeeze it so it's a bit wet but not dripping. If you get it right, you'll be slightly watering down the glue as you're spreading it.

    Gewo force arc off added
  7. A good downgrade from Fan Zhendong ALC?

    If you suffer in the short game and receives, I would also choose a slower blade instead of other rubbers.
  8. Tibhar Bss vs victas SWAT vs sanwei fextra

    I agree that, if fextra is too quick, you won't be better off with BSS or victas swat. Go look for a 5ply all/all+ blade, I'm thinking a good old allround classic for example.
  9. Tibhar Aurus soft

    What problems are you experiencing? Hexer grip sfx is definitely not a fast rubber. Andro rubbers tend to be quite jumpy, but the hexer series not so much. What blade do you use?
  10. Force ARC

    Review by 'timdm' on item 'Force ARC'

    Plays almost the same as a Timo Boll ALC, maybe a bit slower/softer (the Gewo blade is also a wee bit thinner when I compare them). 1 big difference though: I can generate a lot more spin than with the Timo Boll ALC. Flared handle seems even thinner than a Boll ALC and the shape is less...
  11. FS: Gewo Force arc off, Victas ZX Gear IN

    Hi all, after some serious EJ-ing, I've decided to let go of several of my frames. Some general remarks about the blades: All frames have a flared handle All frames come in their original box Frames are sealed with a thin layer of Andro waterbased sealer Prices are without shipment costs...
  12. Jan Ove Waldner Masterclass Out Now

    Is there any way to buy the MC separately, as was possible for the Par Gerell MC? The access link points to the general plans page
  13. Anyone use Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC Blade?

    I'm currently going back & forth between a tbalc and an oalc. I pair them with Tibhar genius max. Tbalc for me: feels very nimble and light, fast/hard but not overly stiff, very solid in block, difficult to generate a lot of spin, quite lineair and simple. Oalc for me: looping dream, very...
