H3 doesn't work well for you without booster, but it works well unboosted for a lot of people, so OP should try it for himself unboosted first for a few month, then try it boosted so he can see what suits him best.

Like others have already said, it all comes down to personal feel, the confidence it gives you, and how well you can land good balls with it even under pressure. As for your example, I would pick the R45 only because I think Andro greatly improved on the previous generation of Rasanters with...

Even though some players are especially known to have great FH's or BH's doesn't mean they're not also great on the other wing, it's a misconception, it's just that one wing just stands out like wow. A blade is one unit and most players prefer to have the same feel and predictability on both...

I was going to say something along these lines but you explained it perfectly !

I was not saying that as an absolute, just what the orientation is for me with these blades. Clearly, as exemplified by top players, Viscaria has proven to be used by strong BH players such as ZJK, FZD, Liam Pitchford... and HL5 by strong FH players like ML, Falck... There are also examples of...

I agree with you on everything except for #1 ; ) , many Chinese players do recommend to put a thin layer of glue before applying the booster in order to protect the topsheet and keep it from separating. You're right in saying that it can create an uneven booster experience if you're not careful...

It's not 2nd tier, just one of the many ESN tensor systems. If I remember right, the Evolution rubbers are Bios, If you look up Tibhar catalogs online, I think they explain what Bios brings to the table.

Exactly! I remember you helped me a lot when I started experiencing with H3 and other Chinese rubbers.

It's definitely worth a try, and good to start with the all-time classic Chinese rubber that is H3, especially at the price. Keep it simple and get commercial H3 Neo to start off, it's a great rubber, famous and a best seller for a reason, and see how you like it before committing to BS, as I...

Bios is a particular tensor system.

Not much difference between the two, C-1 is a bet faster and spinnier and overall better quality. Vega Japan is a bit more controlled. Both great rubbers.

Likewise with T05 FX for me! 37€ is a damn good price for Target 43! : )

Seems like a technique problem, not a rubber/setup problem. Just work on your BH stroke, push on your legs and make sure you finish higher in front of you with your elbow down

That's up to your level and strength.

It's the commercial 37 version. It's a softer sponge.

Just start with commercial H3 Neo unboosted, it's more than enough.

No, if that were the case, we all would be doing it! The sponge and topsheet quality of Tenergys and some tensors is on a whole other level.

Hey Colin, H3 Neo can be good for beginner and intermediate players. It is totally fine to use as-is without boosting, in fact many players prefer it that way even at higher levels. As far as how long it can be used, that's up to you, depends on how much you play per week etc., you'll know when...

Mostly. Tenergys and the likes are already fashioned to be at peak performance. I've known only very few players (2? high level, France top 40, USATT 2500-2600) who were boosting their Tenergys for a while, then they stopped doing it. Too much work for not a great increase in performance. It...

Who knows? Are you aiming for the CNT? But honestly, there's no use boosting a new sheet of Tenergy or Dignics at all or until its performance as strongly decreased, using Falco.
