Just wondering, is the benefit of Tenergy/Dignics that it doesn't require additional boosting? Or is it also faster than the old Bryce w/ boosting? Which is faster, Bryce boosted or Tenergy/Dignics out of package?

Japanese penhold blades are actually designed exclusively for penhold style. But what is the purpose of the Chinese penhold blade? I have a CP blade, but as far as I can tell, all it has is just a shorter handle. In fact I sometimes even just hold it shakehand and play that way. What is the...

Alot of people gave me helpful advice on my other thread and asked for some video, so I just took a quick video of 1 little game of me playing. It's not the best, and I'll try to take video of a better game next time. But its something to start with. I also felt that my FH rubber (Loki GTX) felt...

I just received this new rubber shipped to me by boat, so its been 3 whole months on the boat already plus the time sitting in warehouse. Im not sure if its factory boosted or not, but does the plastic seal mean that it is boosted? I want to take it out just to test it, but not play with it...

We all know that blades like Viscaria and HL5 are extremely popular, representing two different approaches to the offensive style. For all you offensive players out there, which blade archetype do you prefer? Why does this suit you better? Or if you have totally different archetype you like...

The zlc layer clearly looks different from the inner zlc version. The inner zlc version has a brighter white color, no idea why.

I normally only glue the blade and just stick on the rubber, but is it actually necessary to glue the rubber as well? I notice that sometimes the rubber visibly sticks onto the blade and I don't see any air holes or detachment, but when I bounce the ball there is a weird "dead" feeling. It...

I've been practicing my drills and was getting fairly confident in my strokes. Especially my backhand opening loop, backhand drive, and backhand loop really improved. I was feeling confident in my attack and thought I could at least score quite a few points against a 2000 level guy in our club...

I heard that people recommend changing rubbers 4 times a year if you play 4 days a week, so changing rubbers every 3 months. I have been playing with a sheet of H3N for 7 weeks now, but it doesn't seem to be worn out at all. It's still extremely grippy, and I can hit very good loops with it...

I have a lightly used Butterfly TB Zlc blade for sale. I have too many blades as is, so I want to offload a few. There are no dents or damage on the blade.

When a rubber such as H3N or Big Dipper has many hardness choices (ie 37d to 41d), what is the logic behind choosing the hardness? I was always under the idea that harder sponges produce more speed when you hit a good stroke. But sometimes I see people saying the opposite. I was looking at some...

I have heard booster wears off, some say 2 weeks, some say 4 weeks, some say 2 months. Does the booster effect every wear off completely? I boosted a sheet of H3N about 6 weeks ago (playing 4 times a week), and it seems like it's still going strong. I think maybe the effect dropped to 80%, but...

I was looking around for fast and tacky forehand rubbers. Sometimes they are referred to as hybrid rubber. I found several reviews saying Jupiter 3 is very fast and also tacky. This sounds like it could be exactly what I am looking for. Anybody with experience with this rubber? Or any other...

I know that Target National is very popular, but what is the difference between all the versions of Target. There is regular Target, Target National, Target 90, Target Pro Blue, Target Pro, Target Pro 3, Target Europe. I know that H3 National is higher QC version of H3 commercial. Is that the...

I feel like I'm stuck at my current level. I think I'm somewhere between 1500-1600 USATT currently. But I cannot break past this level. When I practice my little drills, I can hit most shots with a reasonably high degree of quality and confidence. Drive, topspin loop, opening loop, block, push...

This blade table was in one of Dan's blade reviews, but are there bigger or more complete tables available to view somewhere? Id like to see this table include more popular blades.

Does anybody think its better to practice with the old celluloid balls? The old balls have more spin, so it takes better technique to loop and block against the old celluloid balls. So if you can loop the celluloid ball, then you assume that you can loop the plastic ball even more easily...

What is the difference in playing characteristics between straight Carbon blade vs ALC/ZLC? I have a Sanwei CC (straight inner carbon) and Fang Bo Carbon (inner ALC), but I can't really tell the big difference between Carbon and ALC. What is the theoretical difference between pure carbon vs...
