Apparently now the key is not only the wrist, but also ‘pinching’ the thumb and index finger. as the wrist snaps thru, pinching the fingers increases the speed at contact and therefore the spin. You can also use the ‘trigger’ method, to get extra speed at contact and therefore spin.

Hi, Any chance of seeing your serve practice on Video? I think you should be able to learn to make the ball stop and come back (slowly) without any real wrist action, tightening grip at impact, or even arm movement, minimum brush !!!! Basic speed of the serve action comes from the body...

Hi Baal, a few questions!!! Do the youngsters boost or have their rubbers boosted for them?? Or is this really started when at an older age?? So when learning they use the hard & tacky un-boosted rubbers on both wings to help improve technique and strength. Then when combined with the...

I'll boost a couple of sheets (cheap) and measure before. during and after, Sheet 1 - apply booster and let any doming reduce down before applying 2nd coat, ditto 3rd coat, then glue on blade. (likely extended duration before rubber can be glued.) Sheet 2 - apply the 3 layers of booster at 24...

Yeah be very careful!! Blue sponge behaves differently to the normal sponges. I've had instances where after 3 layers of booster (Falco LTB) there has been no doming!!!, 2 layers of Seamoon slightly domed or very domed (in the case of Skyline 3). !!! Friendship battle 2 blue sponge middle of...

So Far, I've removed 2 boosted sheets, more to try on different blades, rather than re-boost, both of these sheets were glued on whist still domed slightly. both shrunk back by about 5mm !!! A Question I have is - Why let the doming go down ????? Sponge has expanded and started to stretch the...

Hi, When you boost full sheet, then glue to blade and trim, fit is perfect, when the boosting effect has worn off the rubber still fits perfectly, It’s when you remove the rubber, the rubber shrinks back as the glue is no longer holding the rubber in tension (stretching it) on the blade. It’s...

Nittaku Resist 2, FH - Battle 2 provincial, Black, 2.1mm blue sponge, (38 degree china scale / 51 degree ESN) boosted 3 layers of Seamoon, rubber - 3 layers of Rev no3 glue, blade - 2 layers of glue. BH - Vega Asia DF, Red, 2.0mm sponge (42.5 degree ESN). Not boosted, rubber - 1 layer Rev no3...

Move to the side, if ball is short then still step in with right foot, longer ball not so necessary to step in with right foot, but the same goes for a long ball into front of body, that you are going to push back. try looking for Yangyang TT ‘How to backhand push’ I’m not a coach, but...

Hi, all the coaching I have received has been step in with right foot for both FH and BH push.(right handed player)

5 out of 5 rating for Primorac Primorac FL, made in Japan model. I really like the balance of this blade, D09C on both sides, not head heavy at all. Fast enough with the D09C. Very good control. Feedback is excellent Enough power for my needs. Definitely one of the best all wood blades out there.

5 out of 5 rating for Golden Tango Golden Tango was the first "hybrid type rubber that I tried, used on my BH side. Un-boosted. I used max sponge thickness, red topsheet, sponge is a hard 54 degree pink sponge. Topsheet is reasonably tacky, more than D09C. The rubber and sponge feels hard when...

This is Butterfly Aibiss after 2 layers of FLT booster!! Posted this photo at the time, and was told NO MORE booster needed!!!!! H3 Neo Provincial 37 degree and Skyline 3 Provincial blue sponge did the same, but with 2 layers of Seamoon booster. The commercial H3 did this after 2 coats of FLT...

I’ve bought quite a lot of rubbers from DHS-729, all good as far as I know!! I boosted Standard H3 as my 1st try at boosting, used 3 coats of Falco long term, rubber domed really well, too well !!!! thats why you need a strong glue, like the DHS 15, or Rev no3. Its able to keep the rubber on the...

I’ve used Chinese tacky rubbers un-boosted and still do. I also use boosted as well. to say ‘all Chinese tacky rubbers NEED to be boosted’ is fine, not necessarily correct, they can be played un-boosted. They still perform very well. Sometimes an un-boosted version may actually suit a player...

Rev no3 is a good glue for boosted rubbers/sponges. Seal sponge with 1 coat glue, apply your booster as you like to,( u can apply booster direct to sponge, I prefer to have 1 layer of glue on sponge before boosting.) when gluing on the rubber, I have been using at least 2 coats of glue on...

being a typical EJ, I'd have to try out all of them!!!!

The old Grubba blade I have is also very head heavy, so I’m use to that feeling and because I played a lot of badminton, my wrist is reasonably strong. Grubba has a smaller head than the Def Pro, but both are Head heavy, both have flared handles, regarding these handles, both have quite a small...
