Long pips do not reverse the spin, they keep the spin the same, it’s the direction of the ball that has changed!!! For example, if you are practicing a ‘Ghost’ serve (Heavy backspin) as the ball moves away it has what the server sees as backspin. It then goes over the net, the Backspin kicks in...

This is the Adonis chart on the back of the box that my Dotec Applegren Control came in!! hopefully you’ll be able to read it!! How fast they actually are is a different question, I hope someone here can let you know how fast theirs are!!

The H3 37, std, Provincial or National? I’ve tried the provincial version boosted and un-boosted, boosted is nicer, but try without 1st and if you don’t like it boost with a couple of layers of Seamoon. Plays ‘softer’ !!

Neo orange or blue sponge? The provincial versions should be better quality (supposedly) I noticed that a red sheet, orange sponge, NOT BOOSTED, was very fragile, top sheet started to de-bond at the edges when it took a knock, so it is possible that there is a quality issue with the adhesion of...

Hi rubbers were from TT11 the Xiom Omega Europe was ‘floppy’ as well, which is something I noticed when boosting other rubbers the Hexer Duro wasn’t floppy As for the ‘organic substances between the rubber molecules’ way over my head, but ‘ORGANIC’ is rubber isn’t it.??? Synthetic isn’t...

How many times and layers of booster has this rubber had?? ie twice with 2 layers of booster each time. followed the link and there was chat about using 10 layers of booster !!! Which from what I’ve read about boosting, seems rather excessive!!! Especially if this is the first boosting procedure!!

Hi Dan, great to actually hear from ‘the founder’ !!! best get typing then !!!

I think it has a Porous sponge type #50, hardness 35-37 degrees( this info is thanks to Zeio from the post mentioned below) Don’t know how it responds to boosting, or if it’s factory tuned. used it myself and didn’t like it at all !!! Personal opinion though, doesn’t mean it isn’t any good, just...

so what are the blades and rubbers?

Well, Yogi you’re listed as an ‘equipment expert’ so everyone would expect a long list!! it took me a while, at least an hour to try and remember what I have used as well, lazy Sunday morning with nothing better to do!!!;););)

There’s too many choices!!! Main difference seems to be sponge type and hardness, factory tuned etc DHS have different sponges - porous, non-porous, sealed with a layer of glue/booster?? Etc There are also differences in quality ?? Standard, Provincial and National, Not sure if there are...

Hi ya!! so this is a post for us EJ’s!!! Who’s tried what over the last 2 yrs !! List out what equipment you have tried/tested Here goes!!! below has been tried out/tested. * = used in match play, (‘CSU’ ) = current set up being used for training (and if matches were viable) for matches...

Hi MOG As there’s no chance of actually playing at the moment. could you list out all the blades you have tried ?? Gotta be good for a laugh!! I’d just like to see exactly what you have tried. In case there’s an alternative that could be worth trying!!! ;);)

That’s what the email said!! Just have to wait and see!!

DHS - 729, an on-line store I have used, just emailed me saying that Tianjin 729 Sports Equipment Co Ltd will release Battle 3 in November 2021, delayed due to COVID - 19 Not sure if this is ‘general ‘ release or European release!!!

Hi Yogi, when you say damage the rubber, do you mean sponge or sponge and top sheet?? the booster expands the sponge but not the top sheet (at first) hence the doming. The sheet size is actually increased slightly by 2 or 3 mm, after time the doming subsides but the sheet size remains larger...

The training sessions I go to, when in ‘normal’ times ( Pre Covid-19 ) 2hr sessions Twice a week have around 6 tables set up, one of which is dedicated to multi ball with a coach, the other tables are used for general practice with either set routines or ‘random’ routines and another coach...

Yeah possibly but I reckon MOG’s THINKING about new equipment more often than a fella is mean’t to be thinking of his ‘bits n pieces’ during a 24hr period!!

Again, versions yes. and as I said, the term ‘H3’ can be seen as a ‘top sheet’ ONLY and as a ‘RUBBER’ which I see as the combination of the top sheet and sponge. There have been a number of recent reviews of the ‘NEW’ H3 37 degree RUBBER, these reviewers have been around longer and more...
