Use protective sheets after each cleaning session.

How exactly and when are you cleaning your rubbers?

The blade where the V > 22 showed more catapult on pushes (leading to the ball either not landing on the table or way too high so an easy one for the opponent to immediately attack) was on a Butterfly Outer SZLC blade, specifically the Lin Yun-Ju Super ZLC. Where the V > 22 really performs well...

I think such a colour sucks more for the opponent.

That definitely is a bad idea.

Yes. Just make sure the time between removing the rubber from one and re-gluing it on another blade is not too long. If you manage that within the day you should be okay.

Basically, you seal the blade only once which is before you put on a rubber for the first time.

Cool - how long does that effect stay? Do you have any long-term experience? Usually, any baby oil, petroleum and the like treatment don't stay for more than a couple of days or a minor amount of actual playing time in the hall.

Okay but then I think it is better if you ask specific and detailed questions.

Basically the same technique that you used before. An example is Victas V > 22: a great rubber for hard pushes with lots of backspin; however, the blade can make a great difference. V > 22 does not work with every blade well. And as always, a lot of the feelings/perceptions on any behaviour is...

And how does it play?

Thanks - done already! :p

Personally, I would want it. Why? It is great to a) receive serves and b) great short-to-short game.

There are tons of threads in this forum. Use the search function. Basically, everything has been said already. In a nutshell: no perfect rule, find out yourself what suits you the most (what booster, how many layers, first glue-then boost or the other way round, ...).

Hurricane 3 is way superior over Victas Triple Double Extra.

Let's see if they can catch up with the Hurricanes Neo and the Dianchi.

As a general rule of thumb between two and three thin layers.

Tenergy 05 is around 46°/47°.

Main reason is that only those parts of the blade should be covered by a tape where the risk to hit the table, e.g. by means of hard pushes, is the biggest. It should be avoided that the rubber looses the contact/grip with the blade if the table is hit. So that is why you find parts of the blade...

I think it's kind of important as it adds another level of security so that the rubber doesn't come off the blade. I use heavy books for a total of 24 hrs (if time allows).
