At present that's the get out clause!! 'Factory tuned'

Here in GB, Battle 2 standard version is still available from Bribar, £22 per sheet, not sure where they will ship to, added cost for shipping may make it too costly. The provincial versions are better, there’s also gold and rose sponge versions!! they are all good rubbers!!;)

After reading the ‘Hidden’ serve rules, it is clear and concise!! ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ springs to mind !!! in this case the rule ain’t broke, but something apparently needs fixing!! ;):)

People want MORE!! Spin, speed, feel!! As the others have said, boosting is NOT just restricted to Tacky rubbers, I was surprised about this when I was ‘educated’ about it Like yourself I thought it was just Chinese tacky rubbers that were boosted. Hey Ho!!!

Yeah, I can be guilty of a low ball toss, mainly on BH serve, working on it though!! Just slips in if I don’t remember to actually think about it as part of the serve routine, it’s not totally ‘automatic’ yet!! I’ll drill it in eventually!! FH serve arm shields sometimes, cos of the ‘good old...

Another great vid, keep em coming please!!

I like both ways at looking at things!! Touchy feely and the science !!

Similar thing with the old ‘same colour rubbers’, anti spin and spinny !! Yeah, maybe the colour difference is a valid change, it makes it a good bit easier !!! At the time it was a real sod to play guys using anti spin and spinny rubbers, especially if they could actually ‘play’, I remember...

You don’t see the 38 degree DHS for sale often though!!

Hi, I use R48 2.0mm sponge thickness, it’s really crisp, great spin and controlled, fast enough, I would say that Super Ventus feels a little softer, but still has great spin, control is good as well. R48 feels much crisper on drives, slightly more ‘direct’ but has good arc and high spin when...

Another thing to consider is sponge thickness, if you are playing sanctioned tourneys etc the easy check is for the 4mm thickness of top sheet, most players avoid the DHS 2.2mm sponges, and go for the 2.15mm versions, allows for more coats of glue and booster!!! like many of you I really don’t...

At the end of the day you've still got H3 Neo !!!! It's not the only rubber that has a drop in performance, loss of tackiness etc. H3 Neo provincial version I've used (orange sponge) has a seal / glue on the face of the sponge, Why apply this coat?? it's additional time and cost to the...

I'm not sure about the durability of the Ventus rubbers, mine are still good after 3 months but play time is minimal !! I've heard that Tibahar Aurus Sound has good durability, the rest of that range should be similar !!! with many rubbers there is a drop off in performance over time, having...

I’ve been enjoying your posts about the Korean leagues, clubs and styles of play!! Watched every one so far!! Coach Lee has a style I really like watching, mixed defensive chopping and counter attack FH loop / drive. I watch a young English lady with a very similar style at a tournament near...

My heavy London(ish) accent proved a bit difficult for some when I did the must do Florida Disney holidays!!! It’s not a Cockney accent but a north London Hertfordshire accent!!! As you say, locals can pick up the differences!!!!

Bad Homburg is a great name, shame they are living up to it !!!!

Some other reports are that the TPE may not be as hard as the Rossi Emotion, by a small margin, but it could equally be the other way, depending on the person!! Or the veneer used, heat treatment may also have an effect on the amount of hardness. I haven’t tried both, but I found the TPE...

Yep, heat treated.

I have a TPE Perform, with straight handle, because this blade has been discontinued I’m struggling to find one with a flared handle. Bribar still have them but only with straight handle. The TPE Perform I believe is the same composition as the Rossi Emotion, so it seems this would be the most...

Do you know if Super Ventus is Ventus Extra??
