I have a sheet of 07 stiff but I feel its underperforming. The rebound isn't enough, and it doesnt grab the ball as much as I want. Often times blocks or bh drives will fall into the net because its not gripping enough. I'm wondering if boosting it might fix it a bit. But im worried about...

A lot of people recommended boosting Rxton 3 Pink/Blue so I tested this out. I glued a boosted Rxton 3 Pink and unboosted sheet to the same blade. Just from bouncing the ball, I honestly see little or no difference at all. Both sides seem 99% the same in rebound and feeling. So my conclusion...

I got these ultra cheap rubbers to play around with. Im not expecting much at all, but at the very least I thought they would be fun to boost up and see if they can react strongly.

Who has experience boosting ESN hybrids like C2, Dragon Grip, K3, etc? I recently boosted the DG and compared with unboosted DG. I boosted with 2 layers of seamoon. But I really don't find a strong effect. There is a slight change in the feeling, but I don't notice much change in speed. Maybe...

I just got this telson china from Loki hoping for a good long 5 clone. But im a little disappointed. It seems slightly thicker than advertised. Like 6.1 or 6.2mm. also the carbon is closer to the edge, like Long 5X. And finally the fibre looks kinda weird. It doesnt that that distinct weaved...

Today I played a guy who kept doing a underspin serve where the ball bounce very close to the net, and then after 1 bounce comes back to his side of the net. When he did it just right, I couldn't reach the ball and it was just automatic point. I imagine Pro players who dedicate their life should...

There seem to be so so many Long 5 alternatives and clones: Fang Bo, Pro 05, Loki W81, VSea, etc. I understand that Harimoto ALC is less flexy, stiffer and faster than Long 5. I think that's pretty much how I already feel about my Sanwei 75 inner. But I'm curious if there is any good...

Aliexpress just started a new sale with a few decent offers. I got a Loki telson China blade for $30, also a Rxton 9 for $15

Looks like a new kind of rubber. Not sure how to use it though. Anybody tried this yet?

https://fb.watch/rY08bnXLkA/ This type of serve is the one where I have the most trouble reading. I always freeze when I see my opponent just kinda "swipe" at the ball. I can see that it has side spin. But I'm never sure if it has topspin or underspin. Even in this clip, it looks like topspin...

Recently I have been testing out the D09c, but I just find it wildly hard to control and a bad fit for my FH loop. I think I tend to brush loop the ball more than hit through. I'm very accustomed to Chinese fh rubbers, and those really fit my technique well. But the D09c seems bad for my...

Do you think ESN or Butterfly or Daiki rubbers can achieve even higher amounts of catapult in the future? or are they already at their physical limits? I keep seeing new rubbers come out that don't see very different. G1, MXP, Tenergy are all over a decade old, and yet the new rubbers that come...

Last night I played a really annoying style and totally screwed it up. The guy wasn't a high level player, maybe 1700 and I've seen him lose commonly to lower level players. But I have a problem of freezing up and becoming super hesitant when I'm uncomfortable. First, the thing that troubles...

Is there a better way to judge a ball's push trajectory and length? I think I return a lot of push shots with my own push because I'm afraid the ball will land short. I'm afraid to hit my racket or my hand on the table. Is there a way to judge the push length better?

I found counter-loop to be the hardest shot to practice. It's not like looping underspin where you can just ask your partner to push to you. You need your partner to loop to you and a number of things usually go wrong. 1) partner misses 2) loop is too low 3) loop is out of position. I...

I just saw this review of Sword Paladin Blue. The review is very positive, they say its fast and impressive. But I've never ever heard of this rubber, or even heard any major rubber from Sword. What other rubbers go under the radar and are totally unknown? Are they good?

Clearly we have evidence that LGY illegally uses booster. Also he speaks Japanese, which I didn't know.
