To remove glue from a rubber, I put on a nice thick coat of new glue on top of the old glue, then it will remove very easily. I don't bother using a sponge, I use my finger to spread the glue. Put on a thick coat, let it dry, if it still won't come off in big pieces put another coat of glue...

WTT continues to have s....t video production. The video team cannot figure out that when there is a LH player, they need to change the camera angles so we are not looking mostly at the LH players back blocking the action. This is the kind of thing that is taught in a basic video production...

I patched my dinged up paddles with this: https://www.jbweld.com/product/kwikwood-epoxy-putty-1oz

Another new year, same old igor rehashing this ridiculous contraption for the nth time As has been pointed out by posters many times before, this plastic thing tests static friction. The ittf spec test calls for a test of kinetic friction. The kinetic test is only done at rubber approval in a...

For delamination I apply a small bit of super glue with a toothpick and put the blade under a C clamp. Use as little glue as possible After this repair the holes can be filled. If you want more margin for error, then use liquid epoxy, like the type used for assembling golf clubs. This epoxy will...

The reviews of Rozena vs Glayzer show a slight difference that is not going to matter much to a player who can't control T05H. Either one will be fine. Don't overthink it. As far as double G09 goes, just get one sheet and try it both on FH and BH to see if it works for you. I have tried G09 on...

G09 and Rozena are the obvious choices if you like the feel of BTY sponge, I have this on an ALC blade. Short game will be miles better than your current combo. Both have been on sale in the US for a while, G09 $48, Rozena $35. Double Rozena would also be fine if you don't like tacky rubbers...

Some of the most annoying people are Nittaku ball snobs who insist on playing with their precious $3 balls even when it is dirty gray, shiny, with all the lettering worn off. They are usually 1200 level players with $400 paddles who can't put spin on a new ball, so they can't tell the difference...

My best tip, don't get medical advice from random people online. I saw a sports medicine doctor for something like this. If you must get rando advice, google "chrondomalacia", many videos online that address possible causes and treatments if you don't want to see a real doctor for a proper...

I have tried 802, 802-40, 755, Superspinpips, and now have Spinfire max on a fast, stiff, carbon blade. Spinfire is the best SP I have tried. As you noticed, any 802 on an ALL+ blade is very slow. Spinfire is way faster and spinnier than 802-40. Spinfire works best on a fast, stiff blade...

I have a BBC Triflex that I purchased over 10 years ago which has 3 carbon layers. It has been discontinued for several years. It is a very fast blade that plays great with SP.

If server is RH and does pendulum serve, set up chiquita BH return, then switch to strawberry at the last second, hit the right side of the ball see videos of Simon Gauzy and Mima Ito for pros doing strawberry

I sealed a handle with some poly. I like it better after sealing. The handle feels smoother. This is a personal preference. If you prefer a rougher texture, then don't seal it.

If you like the Tenergy feel, the obvious choices to try are Rozena and Glayzer

I think forum member Sergio of SDC will make j pen if you request it. You can get any composition, so you are not limited to a 1 ply blade. His prices are very reasonable and he does excellent work. (I have one of his blades, although not a j pen)

Best value by far Tearmender, $10-15 for 6 oz online tt branded glues are ridiculously overpriced at around $10 per oz or more all of the above are variations on water based latex glue with slightly different formulas that result in slight variations with thickness, stickiness, etc. tt...

I have tried 802-40 on a Yinhe W6, it played fine

I have T80/Rozena on one my blades. I like the Tenergy sponge feel so Rozena is a natural choice. I have tried a few other rubbers. Currently trying out DNA Platinum. DNA is pretty good, but at $70 versus $40 Rozena, I'll probably go back to Rozena when the DNA wears out. btw, there's a local...
