  1. First Short Pips FH suggestion

    Can you share a bit more — what are the main advantages of Spinfire Soft over inverted rubbers and over S1? What sponge thickness? I played some time with DMS Spinfire 1.8mm and found it a bit springy for my chops. Considered testing the Soft version and S1, but ended with Spinlord degu 2 at...
  2. Hybrid rubber to replace Mark 5

    Non hybrid but good update for mark v: Nittaku Flyatt spin, Victas Ventus Extra?
  3. Researching the DHS Hurricane rubbers

    My goal was to find good allround rubbers and feed the EJ demons. I can compare next 3 rubbers with 3–4 months of play: H3N BS national BS 2.1mm 39deg without boost, H3 provincial BS 2.2mm 39deg 1+1 layer Seamoon 2 and falco platinum, H3N provincial OS 2.1mm, 38deg 1+1 layer Seamoon 2 and...
  4. Importance of gluing well

    My expirience with hairdryer is mostly possitive. The only glue that stick better without hairdryer is DHS 15. So, I wait 30 minutes for the first layer on the blade. Sealing is a huge faktor - best adhesion with the glue is happening with water based PU lacquer.
  5. Help , Boosted H3N cheaper+durable alternative.

    I don't see a difference in degradation speed between non-boosted H3N BS and slightly boosted non-neo H3 BS. Also, they play very similarly. I am using just one thin layer, Seamoon 2, and one Falco Platinum. Do you consider the red H3N OS? I am using it at 38 degrees, same booster combo. Have...
  6. Is the rubber still usable?

    You can try with a few drops of baby oil on the surface and plastic cover over it for several hours. There is strong DHS product that promises rubber resurrection, but I don't think is worth the money and the risk of chemical exposure.
  7. $12 Fake Tenergy Review

    30 minutes of play with the fake T05 was enough to remove it from my Stuor CNF. Nothing in common with real tenergy. Slow, very low throw angle, good spin, mid to low control, heavy - 51.5g cut. I will try it lightly boosted, with a flexible blade and will update this post. Just don't have high...
  8. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    What is the weight of jupiter 3 tour?
  9. SDC Handmade Blades

    Thanks for clarification and shared info. I never touch high density balsa, but I have a blade with balsa core and a blade with kiri - both of them are mushy and easy to dent when applying some pressure with a tool. The wood in Gladiator is harder and more yellowish. I don't know the range of...
  10. SDC Handmade Blades

    Science needs sacrifice — I uncovered a small section of the upper part of the blade and the composition is similar as in the handle. Titanium mesh, hard and difficult to dent, ayous wood in the core and probably for inner layers. I will make a very rough estimation of the questionable low...
  11. SDC Handmade Blades

    I have the blade and investigate the composition by removing the bottom wood cover. The mesh is dense and shines like titanium. It can be titanium alloy, but is some metal for sure. Here I share pictures: https://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=43190
  12. SDC Handmade Blades

    I will add the titanium mesh under surface of Dr Neubauer Gladiator. Stiff, slow and light without balsa or kiri. Some magical glue to fill the gaps and hold the mesh, probably is playng significant role.
  13. Pro players using short pips on BH

    I am away from pro, but my transition to SP on BH was very fast with DMS Spinfire and Spinlord Degu II. The first is very popular, fast and spiny with some tensor effect. There is a softer version that I guess will play better on BH. Degu II is slower and linear but has enough spin for short...
  14. Why so much hate against boosters?

    I have solution! Let say you are top 500 player. You want to compete in the top tournaments, Smash, Olympic etc. You play with viscaria 88g, h3 neo 41 deg, tenergy 05 2mm and 5 layers DHS glue. Tournament organizators assemble your racket on video record, put some protective stickers on the side...
  15. Why so much hate against boosters?

    When heavy boosted H3 of my opponent begin to return my chop like is nothing, I was in disbelieve. My short heavy chops was looped in fast low ark that was not influenced by my spin... Uneven surface of his rubber, the oily shine..., is clear that he was boosting to the limit. So, my chops was...
  16. Researching the DHS Hurricane rubbers

    Recently, I have been testing some blades and rubbers and my current opinion is that H3 is the best FH rubber for my style. H3N bs national vs H3 bs provincial with one layer seamoon 2 and one falco platinum are very similar in playing characteristics. I don't know of other rubber with so many...
  17. I think I unlocked the ultimate cheat code for Butterfly rubbers with Spring Sponge X

    1.5 bar, fixed (y) The pressure cooking pot is design for 1.1 bar, go anything above is dangerous. I put my luck with 1.5...
  18. I think I unlocked the ultimate cheat code for Butterfly rubbers with Spring Sponge X

    Reading so many positive comments inspired me to build a pressure box. In my case, a pressure cylinder from cooking pot. So, I test some rubbers at 1.5 bar for 24h. The results (I played only with the first 2): Spinfire 1.7mm plays a bit faster 2h after treatment; H3N national not boosted -...
