  2. SOFTER rubber vs. THINNER rubber for BH?

    I tend to use different rubbers on FH & BH, different manufacturers as well as sponge hardness / and sometimes thickness. although usually the difference is with sponge hardness rather than sponge thickness. My profile shows Donic Bluestorm (DSS) Z2 FH and Z3 on BH both in max. Z2 is 47 degree...

    Best I managed to find !!!! An old McDonald's toy !!!!!!!! Not sure if the red button resets the shot counter, I'd prefer it to give out some verbal off putting comments, hit the button just as opponent plays a shot and misses, like "Sufferin'succotash"!!!!!!
  5. Question about H3Neo

    I tried a few different versions of H3 and H3Neo, boosted and un-boosted. different sponges etc. Until you get proficient with the boosting process, you can sometimes get mixed results, for example H3 Nat blue sponge didn't react very well with the Falco long term, but Skyline 2 provincial blue...

  7. Manufacturer speed ratings vs Revspin ratings

    Take everything with a pinch of salt !! Manufacturers info is marketing, but will be generally correct, no point in them claiming 'A' is faster than 'B' when it isn't. But their rating scale?????? And can WE actually tell that 8.25 is slower than 8,75???? Do they tell the Rev spin / Personal...

    I've slowed down buying and testing new equipment (compared to the last couple of years!!!) but still get the occasional 'new' rubber, one that I haven't tried before. Last week I gave a box of used rubbers to a coach, these rubbers were a mixture of types, some had been used for testing only...

  17. How do you think about speed rating for a rubber?

    Yeah testing using a metal plate etc will give a set of figures that can be used to show a rubbers characteristics. (And a sensible option!!!) BUT what you put the rubber onto does have an effect, not on the rubbers characteristics but on the COMBINED characteristics, the whole ‘set up’ ...
  18. Interesting experience with Bluefire...

    No they won’t unless it fits their needs, they already insist that rubbers are inspected and sanctioned for use in certain grades of tournaments. ITTF approved. The manufacturers already have the information like sponge only hardness and elasticity, top sheet only hardness, elasticity etc...
  19. Why is trampoline effect better than catapult effect?

  20. Interesting experience with Bluefire...

    My mistake, I was using table and converting from A to O, and yep they are approximate. generally 37 degree Shore A is around 50 degree shore O, 40 degree Shore A about 53 degree Shore O, so it’s likely that 41 degree Shore A is around 54/55 degree Shore O. Again approximate values!! It’s a real...
