  2. How bad is this tear / how playable is the rubber?

    I wanted to remove this rubber from my blade, which was glued a few months ago. It was glued very tightly and unfortunately I teared it a bit at the top. I don't plan on using it on my main blade anymore, but I might try it on a different one. I'm still curious. What do you guys think...

  10. Boosting topsheet?

    The idea is boosting the topsheet, just you would boost the sponge. What I tried: 1 layer of haifu seamoon on the topsheet of: - a long worn out tenergy 05 - a very used Loki Rxton 9 And let them dry for a day or so. The T05 got a little bit sticky, more spinny and definitely interesting...

  13. Flip technique difference: Medium/Soft Tensor vs. Hard Tacky rubber
