  1. Gluing mutiple times?

    I usually use 2 layers on regular rubbers, But 3 layers (3 on rubber 2 on blade) on boosted H3. Otherwise, edges on boosted rubber are pretty nasty, they come up. Also I agree other users, thicker glue is easier to remove, so h3 wants regular re-boosting. Some say more layer is faster But i...
  2. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    The most basic version is 6 euro, I guess 4k version is 11 also. Vpn is also cheaper option, but not easy to broadcast on tv.
  3. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Hbo max is good to watch but costs 6 euro.
  4. Hurricane 3 neo on forehand or backhand?

    Boosting in recreational level is not must but nice to have. (Especially I like the sound change, also more fun and easy to play)
  5. best tt shoe?

    I’ve tried no-name, asics gel, mizuno wave drive and lastly I’ve searched same question and bought bty rifones. For me, the best is butterfly (although I have 5 pairs of asics sneakers.) Of course it depends on weight of player, court etc.
  6. Hurricane Long 5 (new) incoming

    Catapult is related with speed, but not only factor. Catapult can be less, but wood can be harder so speed would be higher. What I am saying cannot derive dwell, catapult etc from this value certainly. I’ve seen different cards, higher the bounce height (second last value on card) higher...
  7. Hurricane Long 5 (new) incoming

    Yes, Bounce attenuation ratio is the concept what I write above. Dwell is the duration of ball on the ball. High dwell may be related with catapult, may not be. Flexibility and softness of blade both can increase dwell, while flex increasing bounce ratio, softness decrease. Exact meaning of...
  8. Fancy blades are just not worth it

    the Fang Bo carbon is almost better than commercial HL5 for me but handle is too small, so 100 euro for just handle upgrade may not worth for some.
  9. Hurricane Long 5 (new) incoming

    It's not dwell ratio, it's bounce back ratio. I'm not sure exactly but it should be something like if you drop ball from 30cm and it jumps 18cm so ratio is %60. (or similar type of returning energy testing) Basically it shows how fast the blade. Testing dwell time of each blade would add 10...
  10. Hurricane III outlaw rubbers.

    You are right, a fresh rubber is giving different hardness at my measurements from different areas, maybe I can spread booster only that parts with specific amounts carefully, then I may obtain the perfect 39 degree blue sponge 🙌🏼 the first ever legit h3 rubber!
  11. Help with shortening movements / being more compact

    For FH you may wrap your elbow to your body with some resistance band, or put a grooming stick to your back hold with elbows to block your range of motion to not make excessive backswing. (My coach was teaching with this method) (I’ve seen a video but couldn’t find now)
  12. Hurricane III outlaw rubbers.

    Oh no, I have been using legit rubber 39 BS, my sinful boosting dirties innocence of this rubber. Perhaps, I should have use commercial OS varying hardness along with Seamoon booster. A couple like Bonny and Clyde!
  13. Your Top 5 of blades

    1- Q968 Nat (wish) 2- HL5 (gift) 3- HL3 4- Acoustic 5- Primorac Carbon (first)
  14. Mizuno wave drive 8 vs Butterfly Lezoline Rifones

    Your sizing choice seems fine, I’ve used 44 on mizuno wave drive 7, and using 45 in bty rifones. I cannot say much about durability, its very subjective, but my mizunos had no tear over years until sole is dried and hardened.
  15. Will Butterfly eventually drop the price of the 'Tenergy' series?

    Actually their price is dropping by inflation, They are introduced around 2008, until this day euro inflation is about 50-60ish percent. Also I’m not sure initial price could be higher. (According to old posts) For example, Butterfly has increased viscaria’s price tag to 170 from 130 last...
  16. Can you restore grip on oxidised rubbers?

    Nope, I’ve tried many things including rev 3.0 rejuvenator, other cleaners, alcohol, even burning. At max, you can make less grippy by sun etc and use as anti. However, boosting may help a bit if it is not that bad.
  17. Flammable balls?

    Yeah, it should be “never”. But never say never 😅 When I was young we were wrapping broken balls with baking foil then heating so it was starting to smoking. Only possible scenario I can imagine could be leaving balls on top of front of car, then leaving under sun where 45-50 degree about 3-4...
  18. Flammable balls?

    I was making small smoke bomb with old balls. But It is almost impossible to ignite in gameplay.
  19. What is the meaning of CONTROL in a game?

    Totally agree, definition of control is bit controversial. Btw maybe you could wait a little bit more, because it sounds like ball bouncing very quickly, most likely you are hitting too early. Pro’s often do that, but it’s hard to execute, error margin is too small. But by waiting a bit more...
  20. What is the meaning of CONTROL in a game?

    Most likely your short receive is not developed yet, timing could be late, position and posture is not correct etc. So you can’t control that ball, slow rubber just tolerates your mistake.
