Sorry I wasn't clear. I usually put my racket in the box overnight so surely it is in there for about 10 hours. But after taking my racket out my rubbers still feel boosted 10 hours later. One more thing I noticed, when I take my racket out of the box they are very boosted and they are bouncy...

I did some measurements with just basic caliper so everyone should take it at face value. Normal Glayzer 2.1mm total thickness was about 3.8mm untreated, after taking it out of the air box I measured 3.95mm so still OK. V>15 Extra in max so 2.2-2.3mm sponge total thickness was 3.9mm without any...

Palio The Way, or HK47, AK47 blue if you want soft sponge. Yinhe Moon 12 if blue color is OK. Big Dipper is also very good.

It's so hard to tell. All I can say is that after 10 hours both Glayzers and V15E feel boosted. For sure not as much when I just get the racket out of the box but they feel more boosted than brand new even after that time. V15E maybe a little bit more boosted only but the Glayzers don't even...

Not at all. I just put the rubber inside so it stretches a bit. Unfortunately Glayzers shrink a little so if I put them in the box they will return to original size for an hour or more and I can glue it on my racket more neatly. Tonight I had my racket inside the box assembled and no bubbles...

This is normal glayzer. I'll make more pics later but v15e is about the same.

Oh wow, so many types of liquid for boosting I didn't know before. I don't even like to use FTL or Seamoon and I'd hope I won't need to use them in the future so I won't try limonene. It kind of sounds like a cocktail if I have to be honest. 😅

That Dymax Maximizer bottle looks awfully similar to the German made glue bottles. Coincidence? Don't think so. I wonder if it smells like fresh MX-P.

Funnily enough the KTL logo is on the packaging of this Battle 2 version.

My conclusion is more like ESN rubbers are factory boosted anyway, what keeps ESN to boost it better for pros and what would keep Butterfly doing so too. I remember some fanatic players going out to buy Tenergies with a scale and looking for the heaviest since they assumed that has the most...

I wonder why CO2 is better. I think the biggest weakness of this is that the air eventually escapes. CO2 molecules should be smaller than O2 and N2 and I would think it's harder for larger molecules to escape. Well there are a few videos of pro's gluing their racket like Timo, Dima etc and they...

It depends on the sponge. When I remove Butterfly or ESN rubbers from the box they dome like boosted rubbers. Fastarc G-1 gets flat in a few minutes, V15E maybe in 30-40 minutes and Glayzer after an hour or so. These rubbers also become bigger during that time. So like ESN rubbers shrink a lot...

Yes, that is the point, you can boost your rubbers while they are attached to your racket. No need to reglue or anything that sort.

Since it's summer time and no competition and league matches I'm trying out as much stuff as possible. Since I only have ONE Cybershape I'm kind of bogged down since the shape and cutting and other blades don't fit that blabla. Anyway my point is that I can't have a main blade and a 2nd one...

Since my main sheet got bubbled up and I bought 2 more from @harty I boosted a new one with FTL mainly so it sticks to the glue (since out of the packet it peels off the glue like it's nothing, glue stays on the wood). And that issue was solved immediately, the rubber didn't come off my racket...

The fluff that remains does reduce the tackiness but I think they do it to combat humidity. Im kind of curious about this orange sponge STN, it's so dirt cheap and seems to have the same topsheet as the official blue sponge.

You have a great point that STN topsheet is softer than B3 or many Chinese topsheet. But I think STN topsheet is rather elastic but also quite sticky so it holds the ball back on low impact and kicks the ball on hard impact/big stretch. I might be wrong but for me the sponge of STN is the MVP...

Since my B3 died and I don't particulary fancy the Xuperman rubber I put the STN back. Compared the B3 40deg (broken in), STN it is a bit softer and it is more transparent too. The sponge eats the ball so easily, it deforms easily, I would almost say it bottoms out easily but for some reason it...

Gewo must be soiling their pants now🤭 Imagine someone trolled Butterfly with some fake Butterfly booster and got all their rubbers disqualified. 🤭

Actually I don't know this Reactor rubber so I can't comment on that. But the Moon 12 M- is closer in hardness to Plasma 430 than M+. Despite this is the softest Moon 12 it still will be a bit more hard than the Plasma 430. To me the M- felt around 45-46 hard in ESN hardness standard, Plasma 430...
