The spin usually depends on the technique. You can have the spinniest rubber and it is brand new and play against a less spinny uand used rubber. If you don't have proper technique, the used rubber can get even more spin than the new one. If you feel you have less spin, first check your technique.

The opinions are divided, someone says A and someone says B. Hard sponges are not good for them either then, as they don't have the appropriate movement to activate them enough. Then, what is better?

A rubber's hardness is relative, what can be considered as hard or soft? The G1 is a medium hard rubber.

As for some unique characteristics of the hard and soft sponge separately. The soft sponges are usually easier to use. They don't require fast swings and movements to get great spin. However, they tend to "bottom out" easily, meaning they have a great limitation over the hard sponges. So, the...

Oh yeah, definitely. There shouldn't be anything less nicer than the good old alcohol when it comes to modifying the mental state or turning into a fool.

Yeah, I believe so. Someone must be under the influence (of something mental mod) to suggest something like this.

I'm sorry, but this idea is a huge pile of cr*p. There is no such thing as "toxic" rubbers. Anti and Pips are for a different style. These rubber don't give you "unfair" advantage, their mechanisms and principles are different. They are as fair to use as anything else approved by ITTF. People...

Thanks for the great and detailed explanation! It is always interesting to read about the sport's history and this writing is interesting. Thanks.

Yeah, exactly. :D I never had doubt about getting answers. We did get them and to be honest, they seem rather logical, but still, they are uncertain. I guess we will never know the real reasons. On a side note, I have to admit that the introduction of the new colors really makes a great...

It's okay. Thanks for the info. I always knew I had the feeling I just can't play with red rubbers on my forehand unless I absolutely need to. :D

I don't exactly know the details of the manufacturing of the rubbers, but from what I've heard the black rubbers don't have additional dye in them, because of being black already, but not sure. Yeah, this is a question I could have never find the answer for. :D

I know that the black rubbers were black because the rubber they were made from were naturally/originally black, but why was the other color specifically the red? It could have been blue, yellow, green or anything else... like the color we have today? What was the reason behind having these two...

As a fun fact, this is the blade that was or is used by Pongfinity's Miikka. I'm not sure of their equipment, but this is the latest update we've ever got.

Innerforce Layer ALC (the best choice of blades I've ever had)

It is okay. If you have the money, then you could try the DHS before, but think about that twice, as money is an important factor. Good luck! Important thing is if you want spin and control, you need the innercarbor style of blade, the outercarbon is better for speed and power.

I believe your budget should be enough for a Harimoto ALC. It is just the amount you have, maybe a little bit more, but should be just enough. If you go with Harimoto ALC, you can't really mispick. It is a great innercarbon blade with sufficient speed, control and feeling, not to mention to...

Where is the damage?
