This has more to do with the actual rubber than the glue. You don't need to remove the rubber or glue each time if you only glue once per sheet(until they become worn). But the option exists in case it's required for a blade change or whatever reason. With some other glues like german made Bty...

Well if someone doesn't care about weight can leave it on, but if even a layer of glue can be up to 1g per side. That's why it's better to chose a glue that can peel of a sponge nicely without damaging and sticks well with only 1 layer. Chinese sponges are really good at peelig nicely. I had...

Unfortunately the Calderano Foco Off+ is no longer available but it was a pretty good blade with low weight ~80g, nice handle grip and good performance for around 30EUR. It was fast, stiff, had good touch... I don't know who was the OEM, most likely chinese for this money but it was great.

MX-P feels harder? I think not. MX-P feels softer than T05 even unboosted. It has similar hardness as Rozena if anything.

H3 Neo is really a bad recommendation just because it's slow and spinny. It's really only suitable for pro players or hobby players who don't give a damn. There's not much joy in playing with it. But the H3-50 35 degree version is a lot of fun. It's between Tenergy and Tenergy FX in hardness...

One thing I don't think was mentioned so far by anyone is that Truls has a very unique grip. The cybershape has shorter wing width and may allow Truls to wrap his finger around the wings. Not sure if this has any benefit to him but it's a point I thought I should mention. Also not sure how this...

Not sure why they list it like that. Yinhe makes like 5-6 different Viscaria clones, this is one of them. They are usually pretty good blades. With the more expensive ones being better than some real Viscarias.

Koto outer ply. It's basically a Viscaria copy.

I hope not! Just for a change of pace! Actually the Chinese really like the Joola Dynaryz ZGR. I mean the normal folks, I don't know of the CNT players opinions. Isn't Quadri with Gewo? He used to be with Joola but he jumped ship a few years ago. Is he back? Dynaryz ZGR on backhand sounds...

These korean made blades are very close to BTY quality. Both Xiom and Joola blades are pretty fantastic. I really wonder if he will stick the ZGR to his BH... I think not. He either won't use it or it's going on his FH. It would be a pretty big deal if a CNT payer moved away from H3 BS. Not sure...

From the beginning of the stroke until the contact I "strain" my back muscles but otherwise it's relaxed, along with my arm and neck. You might have a muscle knot or something that's annoying you during play. I think most people had that. You can go to a masseur or get a foam roller and roll it...

This is from last night I think, quite recent. All my kudos to TT11 guys, but I don't really trust their measurements. On some hybrid rubbers ESN specifies 2 hardness. On Tibhar K2 they spec 54 deg and 40-40,5 deg I believe. Don't burn me if I'm off by a degree it was a long time since I saw...

I think what you are saying is sound. It shouldn't make much difference how much rotational energy a ball can take during the stroke based on the wall thickness of the ball, but it makes a bit more difference that thinner wall balls will keep their rotational energy for longer. Actually I...

I think the Joola Dynaryz ZGR is similar to the D09c but possibly even harder. Should be on par with a 41-42 deg H3 on hardness. He totally could use it on forehand. Backhand sounds a bit difficult and Zhou Qihao while has a superb forehand his BH is just OK at best. On the other hand I haven't...

Seems like Zhou Qihao has a contract with Joola. I wonder if he really will use the Freeze blade with ZGR on backhand? Or it will be just like LJK and FZD and using only the joola handle.

Yes, I have in my entire life only seen balls with a spin limit. In fact every object I have seen has a spin limit. But not relevant to table tennis gameplay so why do you ask this question? Actually in the 2nd post I was comparing DHS balls to seamless balls. I only have my senses to rely on...

How much rotation a stroke can impart on a ball. Why indeed? This is my question too? So far it seems it is totally pointless to discuss this topic since the difference is negligable and it should have next to no effect on the gameplay. But on the other hand there is a noticable difference...

IF we look at the ball like a flywheel it makes sense that the ball with the thicker wall would be able to accept more spin with the same force. But from actual play the DHS ball which in this case is the orange one winds up/stretches the rubber more. So I would wager that even with the same...

I think colorblind people have it a bit hard no matter what the colors are, these changes probably will make their life more difficult. But isn't black a mandatory color on one side and the other side is optional from any approved color? So green + red would be illegal. I've had the pleasure of...

I'm sorry but why? If the diameter and weight of the balls are roughly the same how can the wall thickness influence the rotation capability? I'm not a physicist but isn't the mass that is the limiting factor, and the grip of the plastic ball on the rubber? That being said the DHS made plastic...
