Yes, too good to change. ;-)

But it is also a different topsheet altogether. Aurus Prime is one of the few "thin topsheet/thicker max sponge" rubbers by Tibhar and most closely resembles Andro rasanter and the likes. It has not a lot to do with the Aurus rubbers of yore and no-one really knows why they used that name. Next...

Not quite, but not too far away. The BYPE rubbers are intended to be the intermediate step between the GTT rubbers and the Hexer series. There is also a 40 degree version.

Yeah but on that bottle the name is correct.

Looks a bit dubious when it says Faifu on the bottle.

What I can contribute is that a well known player used it back in the day, when speed-glueing just got banned, on classic rubbers (Speedy Spin). A friend of mine still uses it to make his Hurricane 8 a little softer and eleastic, don´t think much else happens. It does have an effect, but if...

Sabine came back injured from the Rio contender and was barely able to walk. She is now picking up a racket again and I don´t think she could be in an acceptable condition for Paris. It doesn´t seem like her to turn down an Olympic opportunity, even if being the substitute player again surely...

So what about rule 2.4.3.2 Sandwich rubber is a single layer of cellular rubber covered with a single outer layer of ordinary pimpled rubber, the thickness of the pimpled rubber not being more than 2.0mm.

No, it´s an almost water-like liquid. https://www.tt-shop.net/product_info.php?products_id=1217&osCsid=c889085a970f1344ea616348f64c3685 It doesn´t do much on Chinese rubbers where obviously Chinese "oil" boosters give better results, but works a treat on German and Japanese rubbers.

Well have you heard it about anybody else? Who would freely admit it? Of course they could, because it cannot be detected, and what´s not proven can not be sanctionized. But the image would stick, "Yes I cheat". So better stay quiet about it.

Dymax Maximizer

That I don´t know. What I know is that the adress of the place that some pros went to (or maybe they still do) for gas tuning (CO2) is the same as that of the seller of that pressure box.

Some do, some don´t. it´s a matter of preference. And a former world No. 1 puts glue beneath the booster on his forehand, but not his backhand.

What one says and does are often very different things. What one does in a video is another thing altogether. As for Boll, his claims that he doesn´t boost surely lead to the conclusion you´ve made - pre-boosted rubbers. As for Ovtcharov, there is a reason why a certain booster was called the...

Unfortunately there is no such spirit, because the health argument was already down the drain when people started using baby oil to boost their rubbers. Glueing the rubber, touching it or "putting dirt on it" is all part of using the rubber in the desired way, but - like some other rules also -...

That would very possibly be the way the officials see it. And if you use the device with CO2 for even better effects it´s tuning for sure.

One more month of matchplay, exercises, spin on spin/blocking with 1st league player, robot practice... I am actually quite confident that the promise of extended longevity (compared to other hybrids) rings true. Yes, pro players/better players will stress the rubber more and like I said above...

Give it a little time. Mine felt good from the start, but really came to life on the second or third evening.

It´s fantastic to play with. Some experiences linked in the thread linked to above.

I think you couldn´t have said it better.
