I have two lettered W968, one 2017 and the other around 2020. I've also owned HL5. To be honest lettered W968 has better feedback. The commercial HL5 is so muted. National W968 is not worth the money because it requires a much higher level of technique and strength. I also regret buying...

D09C lasts a long time. You also get the consistency whereas other rubbers like K3 and C55 loses some grip after 2 months. I would buy D09C as it will save you money in the longer term.

If you are new to H3 buy the $33 Neo provincial one with orange sponge. Easier to break in with better feeling than blue sponge.

That's strange. My NZ wifi works just fine.

No but I read some reviews on Bilibili. Apparently it feels similar to Battle 2 blue sponge which is mediocre. So I skipped it.

I often get 3-5 sheets per order. There’s no expiration since you’re boosting.

Start with H3 provincial orange sponge 40 degree ($30USD) + National Seamoon yellow ($45USD for 120mL). My yellow oil has lasted 3 years. But I only play 1-2 times a week though. If you play 5-6 days a week the booster effect will only last for about 5 weeks. Reboost with 2 thin layers. You...

It will work just fine. In my collection I have a few Stiga blades from the 1980s and 1990s. The feel is amazing. When pair with fast rubbers like D05 it's fast enough for today's game.

H8-80’s QC is horrible

Yes agree. Some fans tested the named H3 versions (e.g. Chen Meng and Ma Long). The quality is out of this world. The topsheet is also custom made. Chen Meng's topsheet is 43 degree but the sponge is 40. Ma Long's topsheet is 41 degree but the sponge is 42. When compared to the commercial...

D09C responds really well to Seamoon booster. I boosted mine after a year and the sponge came alive so well. You will save money if you learn boosting. Seriously boosting isn't hard or troublesome. Just need to plan ahead a few days before you need to play the rubber. In my experience Seamoon...

I've played at least 5 versions of H3, D09C, TDE and Nittaku Pro blue. H3 provincial is the BEST value for its performance. D09C - arc too high, not enough control near the net but easier to play. Lacks the power vs H3 away from table. TDE - topsheet is great but the sponge lacks power away...

The boosting method I use is called the sandwich method I learned on a WeChat channel. Glue --> Booster --> Booster --> 24hr --> booster --> Glue --> booster --> Glue etc To give you an idea how to tell if H3 is properly boosted, see this picture (fully boosted 1 week ago with 4 layers on a 41...

Air tight with food wrap. Do a few layers of wrap it will slow down the booster oil evaporation for months.

Well with that level of tack you can produce more variety of placements and spins.

I want to see Felix meeting LSD again. The chance is a bit low considering LJK is on fire recently.

Interesting!! I have seen two reviews on Bilibili, both by well trained professionals. They both said V15 sticky lands the ball like magic, but lacks the power. They didn’t say it has no power it’s fast enough on a hard blade.

Sounds great!! Btw BS is fundamentally different from OS. At the same degree of hardness, BS "feels" harder. BS can absorb more booster than OS before overkill.

Yes. All the best. Many find boosting troublesome but I enjoy it.

Neo already has a glue layer on. Just apply a thin layer of oil directly onto it. Once dried you can apply the second layer of oil. Once dried, apply a good water based glue layer. This is a crucial step because during the curly period booster oil will gradually evaporate. The glue layer helps...
