i made the comparison to speed glue because speed glue is an actual off-gassing product, where as booster is not. I'm not trying to convince you to use booster or not booster, i'm merely stating that your assumptions about how booster works are not the same as mine. Of course, i'm basing off...

rubbers do become heavier after every subsequent reboosting.....thats what i'm saying lol.

I suppose there are ways to test this some what scientifically: 1) weigh rubber after booster and glue has been applied 2) once the booster effect appears to have worn off, remove rubber and re-weigh the rubber. Calculate the difference. howerver, would be hard to measure how much of the...

sorry to hear about your health conditions. i'm glad you have them under control and are able to play table tennis. definitely nothing wrong with being extra cautious with your health. I'm not encouraging you to use booster by any means.... HOWEVER.... i'm not sure what you mean by "vaporizing...

Since you're worried about booster affects on your health....what makes you think that they could be negatively impacting your health? For me, I never actually come into physical contact with the booster, at least not for a prolonged time. From my understanding, boosters are different than the...

who did you offend? This is just a forum, meant for discussions. I think its ok to try out some new equipment, but sooner than later you need to pick something and stick with it for at least a year. Otherwise, you're going to be doing more harm than good, but that is just my personal opinion.

some people say they are a lot different, i think they are pretty similar. Not exactly the same, obviously. D09c seems a little more springy, even compared to the boosted hurricane. Hurricane still has a high top end of both speed and spin, but you have to put that power into it. I bought a...

I use a 'neutral" grip (IE little to no adjustment between my FH to BH). I used to play more like you where i had a more pronounced FH (closed) grip and had to do a small adjustment every time i did a backhand. Worked well to have an awesome forehand, especially an inside out winner, but i was...

I remember watching this match and really going for Ma! It's hard with such a small sample size though. I've taken plenty of USATT 2000 players to the 5th game but they are all at least 250 points higher than me. Wondering how much Felix was "playing down" and how much Ma was "playing up" on...

Serious question- if you can't be bothered to boost your hurricane, why even use a hurricane rubber? But to answer some of your other questions- I've only played with the orange sponge. supposedly its a little more bouncy with a higher arc than the blue. I'm about to throw on a blue sponge on...

Can't believe WCQ got away with this so many times to win the world championship. I demand an instant update to this rule!

Yes, this is a major problem. this is definitely very confusing for table tennis umpires.

i use barefoot shoes too but be warned, if you've never worn barefoot shoes, its most likely not safe to just go straight into wearing this and playing table tennis. You have to build your foot and ankle strenght before you can safely wear barefoot shoes and perform the lateral movements...

There's no easy way quickly master reading spin on a serve. In my personal experience, it takes many years to become adept at returning serves, even then its a weakness in many player's games. Some tips: 1) practice returning serve against a higher level opponent. Have them serve their best...

Not yet since i stocked up on rubbers glue and a new bottle of booster before the tariffs went into place but i might need to make another order in a year lol

I try to practice the high toss serve, but mostly only when i'm goofing around. its definitely more difficult than a lower toss serve. The chances of the serve going high are greater.

whats your rating? i tried D05 on a friend's super ALC harimoto and I hated it. I use D09C on my viscaria for backhand and i love it. when i'm training on my robot sometimes i twiddle and use my hurricane on the backhand and its still a lot of fun. soon i'm going to try a 38 degree prov OS...

keep at it man. it will pay off. Its a rhythm and timing thing. just like how you cant learn a dance (rhythm & timing) in a day, you won't learn this skill in a day.

Not poor technique, just bad stamina :p

looks like fake news to me.
