I had two sheets. One at 60 hours still going strong and tacky. Second one died after about 50 hours due to sponge separation. I gave it a thin layer of booster halfway through its life because it had reverse curled when transferring to a blade. Upon time of death it was still tacky though. I...

This Idesawa girl has pips on pips! Japanese women have been making pips great again

Not just in the finals, in my eyes she was the stronger player in my eyes throughout the entire tournament. But there are nuances that probably escape my untrained eye. Sato was responsible for most of the spectacular put aways, but this could've been set up by clever play from Hashimoto. So...

For some more context, here's the marketing blurb about Hikosuke Tamasu https://www.butterfly-global.com/en/story/hikosuke100th/

It was the factory glue with booster. It just combined with the glue you used and the booster is evaporated by now.

I have only tried Moon 12 Blue. M- is 45d sponge and M+ is 48d. The M+ takes some effort to activate the sponge in comparison. If you're used to soft tensor feel, then I'd get M- and expect it to be slow. But it's got good control so you can learn to make your strokes more powerful as you gain...

Loki doesn't really make soft rubbers. You can find medium to softer rubbers from Palio (AK47 yellow and blue) or Yinhe (softer variants of Moon, etc.)

After Day 3 of this event:

If your 'A game' is topspin attack, that's fine. But think of it as a tool instead of an identity. Having a plan B and even a plan C is a good thing. They are all still part of 'your game.' It seems like your 'B game' of pushing was stronger than your opponent. TT is complex. You can choose to...

You perfectly described what I like about LAC. That 'thick contact' feeling just feels way more natural to me. When the rubber behaves and feels how you expect it to, it sure makes for a more comfortable playing experience. That's something that I assume is personal to everyone, and it's not...

I'm not sure if your dehydration experiment actually proves the point that the blade has soaked in moisture from long term use. In this example, it could just be the moisture from current ambient humidity that's being removed by the dehydrator. That would just support @hipnotic claim that the...

I'm not liking this new trend of mid-match tantrums possibly being effective in getting players back into the game. If this sort of behavior from Moregard or LeBrun becomes a thing at the local club, we're going to wish we only had to deal with the Harimoto wannabes.

Not even a courtesy clap for CXT from the stadium fans? Great win for her. SYS really suffers from having no coaching against teammates it seems.

Is wokism in the room with you now? Seriously though, let's not bring culture wars into this forum. It's off-topic for one. It's extremely boring for another.

Man that was some of the most entertaining doubles TT I've ever watched. Seemed like there was a highlight reel rally every other point. These two really make a great team. Hashimoto seems to be the slightly more stable one on defense and set up Sato perfectly for offensive put-aways. But I...

Trying to watch Session 2 of Fukuoka yesterday and it says that Sony Music Entertainment has blocked it on copyright grounds. So they probably used some Sony owned music at the venue and Sony bots went to work on the video. Pretty lame.

Please!

Hope you're having a good time in Vietnam brotha. If you're looking to pick up TT gear, some rubbers in Vietnam are slightly cheaper. Fastarc is only around $30 or so. Also, you can try ordering Chinese rubbers for very cheap using Shopee or Lazada.

I think the appeal of TT for a lot of people is definitely some form of self-therapy. At least for me, I get a few hour break from all the mental clutter and inner dialogue that comes along with modern life. That's not to say that TT isn't humbling or frustrating. Especially as a beginner TT...

It just changes the color of the wood somewhat. Warm means it'll turn the wood a bit yellowish, like a very light wood stain. I just get the clear because I don't want to change the look of the blade.
