But hey, only among men🌚

I never bought liulan, is that the same as lidu or other cheapo Chinese glues? Kinda smells like revolution? Kinda acts like revolution?

YNK sure ages well, despite being at least 10 years older than JSH he sure looks 10 years younger.

If someone wants a bit softer touch but hard chinese rubber then get SuEke NO2, Sueke no 2 is a fairly soft glue and fairly light, with great elasticity. Is there any issues with sueke no2? Nope, I would say it's the perfect glue. SUke no2! If you need strong adhesion and a bit harder glue! I...

Did anyone try the colored LACs? Green purple etc with white sponge. Is it the same rubber? Why is it like half price? Confusing.

I just meant it as general. How Egon has mentioned he likes N80 more for FH. I think normal LAC is probably a good option for BH side as is. I don't use it on BH but I think it's bouncy enough to be a good choice. It's a bit heavy tho so some might shy away, I am shy. On FH it's just too soft...

Yes, LAC is convenient for a sticky rubber that doesn't need boosting. If someone doesn't mind boosting then there are better rubbers. LAC can be air boosted BTW.

I'm at my 5th now I guess? One pro, 4 normal. The normal ones for me were always around 51-53g, the pro is quite light. Could be just luck too. I might buy more pro, if I get lucky with light ones the performance is good enough. Wish it had blue sponge tho 🫣🫣🫣

NO, but the topsheet oxidizes like it's made of east german steel on salty winter road (heard of opel vauxhall holden?) I have to say that the standard Loki Arthus China topsheet is too weak. I have been messing around with it in China and just too soft... Maybe the sponge is also too soft and...

From old times I remember either my Stiga Calibra tour or Airoc Astro had mini tears on the topsheet just from hitting too hard. This happened quickly too, maybe only a training was needed to develop some tears so for sure there was something wrong with it and it was the red sheet that did it. I...

Some LP looses the pips rather fast. Some even after a training session. I think dawei 388 is one that has weak pips. But I am unsure since I don't play then just against them sometimes.

Funny how no one is complaining about long pips shedding some pips. (just thinking outside the box)

Maybe it's a production batch thing. I think they should be the same. Anyway both are great.

Lacquering has benefits, I would for sure lacquer limba top plies, especially DHS. They are quite soft and wood strings can peel off your blade after some time. It's super painful if it happens. Lacquering prevents this pretty well. My problem was always that many glues just don't stick to...

I think he only says that because traditionally (and especially Chinese) use Viscaria, TB ALC as outer carbon blade with koto top ply, while the inner carbon blades are traditionally limba outer plies from DHS or Innerforce ALC, ZLC etc. I realize there are koto top plied inner carbon blades but...

DHS releasing Ma Long 5H, Ma Long blade with super ALC or whatever DHS is naming it.

Recently I play against a few penhold SP hitters, some on Primprac carbon some on Viscaria, so if they hit it's fast as light. Against them I just use a lot of low underspin. They mostly hit the ball in the net or push a higher for me which then I flat hit 😏 Easiest way is to dismantle them is...

It might, because hinoki is quite soft. With viscaria type blade I felt the special medium hard version to be too hard. It felt like the topsheet doesn't have enough time to do its job. With W968 which is quite soft it is much better. So if your hinoki top is thick and soft it might be a good match.

The standard Chinese medium soft is the most bouncy, it is for sure more bouncy than the Dynamic version. But don't imagine it to be Tenergy like bouncy that you do nothing and the ball springs everywhere just because it has spin. This rubber doesn't do much if you don't put intent to it. But if...

Actually I have changed my backhand to the Dynamic version. I still don't know what the Dynamic is about this version, as for me it still feels slower and less dynamic than the standard medium soft. But it's not slow in general terms, it seems a lot faster than G-1 or at least it has a more flat...
