One possibility of the stomping is that your feet are not wide enough. The wider they are, the harder it is to stomp, consciously or unconsciously (look at pros like Ma Long and see how wider there feet is, then video yourself while playing a match and compare). As for the strong/spinny, the...

How do you feel about your current blade? Do you need something higher topspeed, more "gears", looking for a different "feel", different "dwell"? Top pros have proven sticky rubber works with outer carbon, inner carbon, 7 ply all wood. If you are curious the difference, buy some cheap good...

Despite the rubber theoretical properties (hardness, tackiness, springiness, sponge type), you really just have to try a rubber on a blade with your technique style to have the final say. Anecdotal example, I could get more speed with STN vs Tenergy 05 on the backhand on a PG-7 with my technique...

Cool, a citypop fan :) I like Casiopea and Takanaka the most, but there are many other excellent groups from the era.

Yes, definitely different from Target 90. 90 is slow like H3 so you have to boost, STN plays great with no boost. Slight bounce on topsheet, but speed comes from the sponge. Heavy, has a solid feel. No clicky sound, but makes a cracking sound on smashes and drives. Has really nice speed to spin...

I did say the 6 months was extreme, and the topsheet was completely worn. I also said for the amount I play (10-15hrs/week) and my stroke technique, it would be wise to change at least every 3 months. For the amount semi-pro plays, this would probably then be 1 month max. I guess that pros...

Cool, looks good so far!

I disagree. Cheap chinese rubbers, cheap chinese hybrid rubbers, and cheap chinese tension rubbers last as long as you would expect they last in each category. Some last a bit longer, some a bit shorter, but overall time and hits affects even the most expensive of rubbers. If you are training...

They did release the Truls vs Chuang video, but they cut out the throw.😒

How do I watch previous stream? I can't find the button to do that (I can see post match stats though). I am in North America region.

Want to see the Truls bat throw, but I the stream is not on Youtube.

Good luck! When you finish, please share your results with us 😀.

Interesting robot, At $500, worth a comparison to the others.

Thanks for the confirmation Dario.

Good point, might as well talk about how to compensate a low throw rubber with technique too. I play a slightly lower throw rubber (STN) compared with H3 (although I don't know how this compares to the GTX). To compensate for the less natural spin and arc, I hit with a faster brush speed to get...

Interesting, I have not thought of the possibility of not enough power limiting speed change. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this topic to comment further. Great, so you decided to get the Amicus! I am confused though, what is the "Amicus Super Prime"? I am also surprised that...

He is demonstrating the maximum potential of the DIY robot, but of course you would not try to drill with that. You would program it appropriately for whatever drill you wanted. The purpose is building this robot is for fun and education, to hack on stuff and build your own stuff. Or, if you...

Yes, this is just a wild suggestion to experiment on, I have no idea what would happen with your rubber. As Dima has said, you can add an extra layer of glue or manually stretch (or compress would work too) the rubber during gluing to get more power. I would agree with you that it seems like it...

He says his FH swing is "not like Ma Long". This is explicit, at least to my understanding. It understand that it is confusing, because there was no need to mention Ma Long. He could have just said "with the same stroke I get more lift with other rubbers" with no mention of Ma Long. I...
