In my opinion, it is going to be very hit and miss since many different people contribute to the database. Things to contemplate: - players use the grading scale differently - players understand terms like hardness, stiffness, and gears differently - players have different testing experiences...

Here are the videos behind the TT11 booster test that was referenced elsewhere in the answers. Part 1: https://youtu.be/JOHW215rK20 Part 2: https://youtu.be/g7aQh9hOaDU Part 3: https://youtu.be/EBrYM9_y0yY Hope you find it helpful, TPP

Enjoy this Spinlord Wyvern review !!

Absolutely. An objective, fully experimental approach would be preferable. This would require investments in proper equipment and a permanent venue to set up the experiments (think Mythbusters). Also, it needs to be worthwhile the video creators time. The earnings from a small YT channel are...

Hey - I have tested six different boosters against a negative control (unboosted H3) as part of an article that I have written for Tabletennis11.com (link to the article will be provided when it publishes). Until then, you can get the highlights from this test in this two-part video series...

Yeah, TTgearlab makes the case that it is very similar to the Force Pro Black Edition. To me, the two feel different - not dramatically but still noticeably different (significantly more than simple blade-to-blade variations - I have six SFPBE blades)

Thanks - means a lot coming from you.I must, sheepishly, admit that the thought never crossed my mind, but you might be right. I have never tried the 'regular' Force Pro (or CCA7)

Thanks. I haven't tried the Dyjas UP yet so cannot comment. P

Because there is demand for it. Price of Dignics 09 = price of a high-quality snow tire for a medium-sized car. If consumers stopped purchasing expensive rubbers and only bought the inexpensive ones, companies would catch on.

I am glad you guys recognize the value of 7-ply all-wood blades :) I have been advocating for their value (and reviewing them) for the past couple of years. Nice review.

Yeah, as mentioned: Stiffness/hardness for BH pips, flexibility for FH loops. My favorites - after sampling 30+ 7-ply blades: Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition, Stiga Rosewood NCT VII, Andro Gauzy SL, Andro Gauzy BL, and my current favorite....which I will reveal in an upcoming video review :)

As a scientist, I would also prefer to measure/quantify characteristics of rubbers and blades. There are clearly some ways that could be done, BUT it would require expensive technical equipment plus a lot of time spent. In the end, who will pay for that? As it is, none of us who review...

Thanks for the shoutout !!

There is a little bit of sink effect. Enough that opponent's need to make slight adjustments but not enough to be truly disruptive. I've posted full written details on my website if you are interested.

BTW - as mentioned in my full written review, apart for a little bit of chipping around the edges where I make contact with the table, the Waran II playing characteristics do not change appreciably with time in my opinion. I have sheets that are ~2 years or more old and they are just fine...
