  1. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    OK, but this method is used by many chinese friends of mine and widely (almost exclusively) used in Mongolia. So maybe it's some sort of misconception that stuck?
  2. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    So this method is wrong? https://pingsunday.com/how-to-boost-a-table-tennis-rubber/ Many of my chinese friends use this method and it's normally used in Mongolia on chinese rubbers with Falco Long (although probably because they don't want to boost so often)- They indeed throw the rubber...
  3. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    Your boosting method seems different to the one I know: https://pingsunday.com/how-to-boost-a-table-tennis-rubber/ Which states 1st glue, then booster, booster , glue Glue protects the sponge AND expands making more catapult.
  4. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Unfortunately the 39 Degrees is the only one the shop had and I bought it - so I hope that it's not as unplayable as you said. Maybe 1 layer of booster is better not to soften it too much? Or maybe to PRIME it with speed glue and then one layer of booster. Priming is something we used to do on a...
  5. Recommendation for, slightly slower, long lasting Rubbers

    When I read "if anyone knows some "easy to play with", not too bouncy OFF Rubbers for both sides (doesnt have to be the same for both sides) with a hardness between 47 and 52," - one rubber comes to mind! HK1997 Gold ! Slightly slower than tenergy05 Same spin generation much less bouncy than...
  6. Yasaka Sweden Extra vs Andro Timber 5 OFF/ALL/s

    Yasaka Sweden extra is a perfect choice! It's a very reliable blade which can give you a lot on the attack too. Control is superb, it assists in spin generation, it doesn't pop srve returns and speed is enough to play fast shots when you add power. For a very cheap alternative - Loki Kirin K2...
  7. H3 National Blue sponge 39 degrees - which blade?

    What hardness and how many layers of booster? Over glue or directly on sponge?
  8. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Nicely explained, totally agree with you. I tried reboosting once and threw the rubber away after one session, horrible. On another note, h3 national blue sponge 39 degrees - one or two layers of falco long? I don't like soft rubbers, but I need them dynamic. I don't need catapult, but I want...
  9. H3 National Blue sponge 39 degrees - which blade?

    Is there any particular reason why it's better than a powerful 5 ply wood for the h3 national? I am a bit confused because on many sites ot says to play hard Chinese rubbers with blades which have flex... On the other hand alc blades seem to be very very highly recommended too, but they're a lot...

    Dawei Saviga Qingji - I just had to try it because of it's famed spin. My Asian friends spoke highly of it and there's only one good review of it on revspin. Waiting for it to arrive
  11. H3 National Blue sponge 39 degrees - which blade?

    I have all these blades at home already, that's why I listed them:)
  12. H3 National Blue sponge 39 degrees - which blade?

    Hi all! Managed to acquire an H3 National blue sponge 39 degrees. I'm going to boost with falco tempo long: 1 glue layer, 2 booster, 1 glue to stick. Which blade should I use it on? Fan zhendong alc (basically a viscaria) , palatinus virtuoso off- 5 ply wood (fast but great control), yasaka...
  13. Suggestions needed: Setting up two rackets

    The temptation to try h3 national blue sponge is strong as many people said it's the ideal FH rubber for viscaria (same as fzd alc).
  14. Palio Hadou 40+ or HK1997 Gold?

    AK-47 red is faster than hk1997 gold, but hk1997 gold has been my favourite FH rubber for many years.... The spin is just amazing, service awesome, speed is slightly less than tenergy, but catapult much less than tenergy
  15. Suggestions needed: Setting up two rackets

    Hi all! I am an experienced (probably high intermediate / lower advanced) player. Up until half a year ago, I used to play with Virtuoso Off+ (5 ply wood but fast and spinny), with HK1997 Gold (which I feel is a better MX-P) on FH and H8 on BH. During the last 4 months I have been attending a...
