As a penholder i think Xu Haidong is pretty underrated. I think CNT doesn't really know what to do with him, his style is unusual. For some time they tried to make him new Xu Xin, for some time they tried more Wang Hao-esque style, but neither of this approaches worked. He is powerfull, he has...

Looking forward to your review. I'm interested in this blade, it is somewhat close to my main N301 in terms of structure, but it's hard to ship it to my country, so i'm not risking

I use it on N301 and i don't boost it. I don't feel like I lack any speed or spin, 41 degree powerplay-X without any booster is considerably faster than 40 degree Hurricane BS. I feel like Powerplay-X plays a bit more like hybrid than true sticky hard rubber, same with Battle 2 Gold which i...

For me it was exactly the opposite. I hated rxton 9 because topsheet was hard like a brick. I played with 4 different BS national Hurricanes and tested about 3 on friends rackets and all of them were hard, but not to a rxton 9 levels. Also maybe powerplay-X in black package has less elasticity...

I also play Cpen and i prefere Powerplay-X over Hurricane. And it's not even close. Powerplay-X has much softer, more elastic topsheet. It's easier to get the ball on the table with good(but not excellent) quality. Hurricane has better potential both in terms of speed and spin, but it's much...

Yep, and it's designed specifically for backhand. So 55d sounds like a lot and i'm interested how such hard rubber would play.

YuanJian Zhantian looks interesting. Really want to test it

I'm curious why you think spinnier rubbers would be bad for you? Usually people think the exact opposite. Yes, you would need some adjustments, but it gives you opportunity to do better shots

With harder rubbers the overall speed would only go up when you hit the ball well, with proper technique, so they give you amazing feedback loop, great for learning and improving. Soft rubbers forgive everything, so you can get away with absolute murder and don't even know about it.

Blade: DHS Fan Bo allwood or Butterfly Korbel would be great choises. First for more chinese style feeling, second is pure classic. For rubbers i can't really recomend anything for your taste, in my opinion you're playing with too soft rubbers, so it's hard to learn to properly spin with power...

You can calculate like/comment ratio. Most of the 1% commenters have this ratio close to 1, most of the time bigger than 0,66. And Igor has 0,33. So yes, it's just about the quantity

Only now i thought about how all the booster situation sound awfuly like alcohol prohibition in the 1920 in America. So the reasonable change would be to legalize boosting but make strict rules for everyone. So sertification of every booster model and control over chemical content.

I always thought that boosters like seamoom and others also have strong smell. I diffinetely read it somewhere, but I couldn't remember about what booster this statement was exactly about.

Thanks for this information, i did not have experience with booster so i could not judge a lot of things by myself, only from words of others.

This whole dialogue about booster content exactly proofs my point about the rules. It's not about am i right or wrong about what booster really is, it's about why the rules does not project reality of the game and make it easier and more transparent for everyone involved. You can say 100 times...

Also it's much more about the blade itself then the koto ply. Pro 01 does not have great dwell time itself. There are other koto blades that have much better dwell. And it's the reason why i don't like it. Pro 01 feels less controllable.

I cant stand limba blades, but i don't play with brush contact pretty much at all. For me koto and other harder outer wood have much better feeling in the fingertips. And for me it's much more important than palm vibration. It's a matter of preference. If you find it harder to feel koto it's...

And can we assume this without looking at chemical content?

I do not state anywhere that booster IS dangerous, i do not have such information. But the lack of information in itself is a big problem

It's easy, but really impactful QOL change what they could implement without any effort. It makes everyone lifes easier. No downsides. So why we have current rule that just makes competition unfair and have potential health risks. It makes no sense. My main problem not the booster itself, but...
