Happy that LAC is staying. My FH rubber for the near future. One sheet is at 60+ hours and looking fresh still. Somehow it's both grippy and fast at the same time. Really catches the ball and shoots it out to where I want it to go. I've gotten lucky with no bubbling issues from the bad batches...

You'd have to post a video of your lower body absolutely doing nothing while your hand effortlessly flicks heavy underspin. Otherwise I'm more inclined to believe that the leg push for you BH is just happening more naturally for you as it does for me, and you don't have to think about it (and...

Here's the video I was referring to above

You probably feel it's easier because you're properly directing your bodyweight into the ball better with the BH technique than with your FH technique. I'm the same way actually. With my FH technique, I push off too early on my FH leg and the force is dissipated before I make contact with the...

Another benefit from using harder Chinese rubbers is that they are cheap. To develop strokes you need hundreds of hours of table time, and it adds up savings wise when spending only $10-$15 or so on a rubber (can even go as low as $5) compared to $30-$40. Because these harder rubbers are going...

I'll probably try it unboosted then. I haven't boosted my LAC and the performance is more than enough for me. Did you keep the factory glue or remove it prior to gluing to your blade? For some reason having different types of glue layers doesn't seem ideal to me, so I've always removed factory...

Both the U2 and Fextra 7 are all wood. There is no composite material in either. In my opinion, the best equipment for developing techniques are those that reward you with a good quality ball when you perform them correctly and punish you if you perform them incorrectly. Hard and more linear...

Does the 40.5 need to be boosted? I have a sheet from an Ali sale last year and my first LAC is probably nearing the end of its life. Going to try it next.

I see old vietnamese people using Tenergy here where the cost of living is super low. $70 or whatever it costs is like 20% of some people's rent here and they're still paying for it which is insane to me. If demand is that inelastic to price, there's no reason to drop the price. Easy speed is...

I haven't used too many backhand rubbers but can compare it to Moon 12 and Fastarc C1. Boosted blue has like two modes. One is pretty controlled and slow like you're used to with Pink. Boosted Blue is slightly faster than Pink on low and medium shots which is good for reactive blocks and still...

I only have my experience to work on but boosting made a difference on the my early batch of Blue (it had just came out) and one I bought a month ago. The new one responded to booster with such a crazy curl that I didn't want to go for a second layer of SM. But I can feel the 2 layer Blue...

That's a shame. In the early rounds there were loud Thai supporters in the stands banging on drums and blowing horns. They mustve priced out the Thai fans in the later stages. There's a ton of Japanese tourists that travel to Bangkok and none at the later rounds either. Was sad in the finals...

Rxton 2 Pink was a 51d sponge. Blue is 52d sponge. This is measured on the Shore O durometer. You mustve gotten some very bizarre sheets of Pink. Or perhaps the durometer in your brain is not calibrated correctly. After boosting with two layers of Seamoon, the Blue is now 50d. Don't know...

Pink is a treated sponge. You can tell by the gasoline smell compared to the no smell from the Blue. So I guess you can say that it's already boosted just to make it softer but make it play similar to Blue. This is all my speculation to be fair. Boosting Pink resulted in zero curl despite two...

I highly doubt 729 is selling any $30 pips rubbers so I'm guessing the cheaper price is accurate.

They didn't have to give him instructions to lose. They made him cut his hair which was the source of his power. The result is that the Dark Knight has been downgraded to the Dork Knight. Still a fan of LGY, but please bring back the WCQ ball-hiding mushroom cut hairstyle!

Hariboy been having an incredible past couple of months. My sources tell me that he was browsing TTD and saw all the comments saying that he clearly was no longer the best player outside of China. This upset him so much that he decided to bring back his FH shot, which he had locked away a while...

This is not true. My deep black rubbers have more spin than my scuffed and faded black rubbers. Colors make a huge difference!

This Hashimoto SYB matchup is producing the most incredible highlight worthy rallies of the entire event. So many great plays, especially when Hashimoto switches to attack to end a point.

A fade is like a wiping motion. Imagine you're spinning a basketball on your left index finger and the ball is spinning from right to left. To keep it spinning you need to hit it with a wiping motion.
