Has anybody boosted the STN rubber before? How does it react to booster? Is there a best number of layers?

Look forward to hearing your findings. I know that Jupiter 3 is fast, but I always had the impression that all Hurricane rubbers are slow, even the #80 sponge versions. Although I don't think I've ever actually hit with the #80 before. I've tried H8, and it was just slightly faster than H3.

During a game when my opponent open loops against me, I typically block it back with BH and FH. I've practiced counterlooping my opponent's opening loop in practice, and I can hit them fairly well in a practice scenario. But I never feel confident enough to attempt it in a game scenario. Do...

Recently I have been trying to get more wrist action on my BH and get more acceleration through the ball. When doing so, my natural instinct is to choke up higher on the handle and grip the blade face tighter. Also my instinct is to go into a more extreme "continental" grip. All these put...

In my experience, doing those coaching drills look really fancy but are not actually very helpful in game. Coaching love to focus on advanced training and footwork drills because they look fancy and it kinda justifies their own exhorbitant fees. I have seen guys train for years under these...

Of course you can get away with cheaper. You can get really good $20 Yinhe or Sanwei blades.

Sure, I don't know what to call her. But the point is, she is not the top player in her city, or her club, or even her own team. Kou Lei is supposedly the top player in a country of 350 million people.

I used Taiji booster. But I'm quite sure any booster would be safe

Ok, well I say go ahead and booster your D09c. I don't think you will ruin it. Hard sponges like D09c will benefit from booster. If you are worried, just start with 1 layer.

lol, why are you answering your own question?

Never tried dandoy booster specifically. But I did lightly boost a D09c sheet once, and I felt it did become faster, bouncier, easier to use.

Well Ayano lost to our own Victor, so she is not invincible. This guy is supposedly #1 in America, a Olympic player, a male, has 600 USATT points over his opponent, and he is losing games to a recreational player. I can't imagine any YMCA basketball players winning games against Pro basketball...

I have the V-14 Pro, and I don't find it too fast, but I find it overly stiff and it throws very low.

Saw this match posted. I think Kou Lei won 3-1. I'm surprised that the #1 ranked player in the country, a Olympian, would lose games to a 2200 youtube player.

So you're saying LAC is same speed as BD, but more spin, more feel, and more arc?

But you said that LAC is between boosted H3 and J3. So if I understand correctly, LAC is faster than boosted H3. Is that what you mean? And you also said that LAC is about the same speed as BD. How is the feeling of LAC? To me, H3 has a very dull and dense feeling. BD has a very clicky and...

Are you going to test the 37d version for backhand? I think your description sounds about right. LAC is around the same speed as BD. BD is faster than H3. J3 is faster than BD. I'm guessing that J3 is just a better rubber for me than LAC, but I'm still just curious to try LAC someday. If LAC...

Ok, but I have no idea how to measure that. Is there just a general rule of thumb of how many layers that this would happen? Obviously it's different for different rubbers, that's why I suggested H3 40d as a basic benchmark.

Let's say you are boosting a Hurricane 3 40d. I assume that after a certain amount of booster layers, there is no longer a positive benefit. After how many layers of booster does the incremental benefit become basically zero? After how many layers of booster does the incremental effect become...

Cool, sounds like you are finding out the magic of the J3 that I accidentally discovered. I was curious to try the LAC, but since you say the J3 is way faster, I'm less inclined to test the LAC. I had a feeling you would say that actually, because I just have never seen rubbers as fast as the...
