My results with the glue layer were inconsistent. Several shots feel weird. More springy in some shots and more dead in others. Hard to describe because it is hard to reconstruct the certain issue. And more often the rubber curled partially different. For example you could see the left side was...

You dont need to listen to any recommendation^^ The difference here was that i gave the argument right away, while i had to seperatly ask for it. Many many user just say how to do things without any explanation at all, which is bothering me especially in cases that are far from being "common...

I really wish to see a flat surface after a "carefully brushed layer of glue". This will be impossible. You might be able to reduce uneven surfaces to a certain extent, but never completely. So why take this chance if you simply dont have to? Either way there is no proven advantage of this layer...

Nah no need. I had the issue. But since i put several layers of DHS no. 15 on it im fine. Just peeled a Hurricane 3 free from glue with ease, some hours ago. @Dipak: I can kinda relate of what DHS said in an interview about that matter. BS is more lively. I usual translate this with harder to...

Imo booster is not illegal either way. But that discussion is redundant too, because ITTF doesnt put any effort in finding a way to ban boosting. Hm, i actually stopped using rubberremains or balls for that purpose because i damage the sponge with it everytime. It always rips off some pieces...

Had the same issue with or without the glue layer before boosting. That changed the moment i started putting 2 decent layers of DHS no. 15 on the rubber and another one on the blade. This is the least required if you glue a boosted rubber in a still curled state. If you use a very thing glue...

Yeah i learned it the same way. Several youtube tutorials using this receipt too. At some point i did have some issues with my results though. I am boosting Hurricane 8 and 3 (non neo) on a regular basis now and have no issue without the gluelayer. The only thing you have to keep in mind is...

Funny you mention that, because "it is said" that the Fang Bo series gets close to the Hurricane Long series, though the series differs tremendously. The HL5 is overall way faster feels different. Several people compare this blade to a Viscaria as a more controlled and little slower version...

I actually put the 301(x) aside because they feel completely different in my hand. Their weight is too much around the head, and not in my hand (though might be a problem because of my small hands^^). The Fang Bo blades feel more alike. The x version is slightly faster. The Fang Bo Carbon is...

Sry but i have to strongly disagree with several opinions mentioned in this thread. I would have stepped in earlier but i lacked the time to check the forum. So here we go now. 1. Applying glue before booster: As mentioned here and in several other posts on this site, glueing first do more...

Sadly i dont know your previous blade so i cant give a decent alternative. in terms of small handles, i have the same issue. My finger are ridiculous short and my hands are pretty small overall and i do well with DHS TG 506x which is their viscaria clone.

Lol i actuall searched for it and failed finding it bc i am reading and writing with my smartphone right now. My bad.

You compare a trolling debate and childish behaviour against a racist and ignorant user. Your action back then might be discussable (though i wouldnt care, if you think rules are being broken then go for whatever punishment you feel fit) but this here is far from being debatable

Yo Carl or any other mod: Beside "muh freedom of speech" and "murica fck yeah" rules, dont we have forum rules concerning racism and extreme insults? How is this thread not closed and a certain user banned already? Didnt he violate enough rules? Besides being completely offtopic for most of his...

It is simple, you can criticize chinese politic or government all you want and you can even boycot whatever it has to do with it, just do it somewhere else bc nobody gives a damn about that. But concerning tabletennis there is nothing to boycot. China does a shitload of work and gives as much...

For those who wanna know - i just had my first longer session with the Rakza Z. The higher throw angle is drastically noticable. The thing which amuses me the most is that this rubber is supposed to be slightly harder than the V>15 Extra but still it feels way softer, especially on harder and...

According to rule 2.9.1.1 https://documents.ittf.sport/sites/default/files/public/2021-08/2021ITTFHandbook_v2_clean_version_1.pdf the let is pretty easy declared. If it is a net on serve and play on with it you cant call on let anymore. Same goes for being not ready. If you are not, then you...

This outcome is probably close to destruction if not the case already. The last layer should have been thin or not on the sponge at all. this rubber will most likeley never be in a decent state in which you can glue it onto a blade

Looks like a flick with a strong upwards motion. A flat hit would be way more forward. More important i admire you having the space for a table in your ?basement? Damn i wish i could paly more often right now.

Boosted Hurricane 8 could be added here. But in my experience the Hurricane 8-80 is a bit better for it. The sponge provides just a better feel for it but that might depend on the player and as SFF already mentioned, on the blade too.
