Given that pectorals and triceps provide almost zero power in hitting, and doesn't help your mobility either, then I'd say the answer is a resounding NO. Strength: Heavy compound movements like squat, deadlift, rows, presses, etc. Stamina: Zone 2 training with the cardio of your choice...

I think maybe it's because you're used to harder rubbers. I actually have a very soft rubber in Fastarc S-1 which I measured at 41 degrees. That rubber is incredibly mushy feeling in comparison to the Moon 12 Blue.

Some objective measures: DHS PG9 is measured at anywhere from 1250 to 1345 hz on the frequency chart, suggesting an OFF- speed (about a dozen readings). Yinhe U2 is measured at 1310 to 1324 hz (3 readings) also suggesting OFF- speed. There are no frequency ratings for Power 7. Based on revspin...

I just measured the Moon 12 Blue with my Shore O durometer, as well regular Moon (soft) and Moon speed (soft) and it came up with the following values: Rubber Topsheet measurement Sponge measurement Hours of play Moon 12 Blue (Medium-soft) 46 46 7 Moon 12 Blue (Medium-hard) 49 47 unused...

I'm not sure what would work with RPB (have little experience with penhold) but my favorite rubbers on the backhand have been Moon 12 Blue (non-tacky, medium) and Loki Rxton 1 Plus (semi-tacky, harder). Moon 12 Blue is $20, Loki Rxton 1 Plus is $15. They are both great for lifting backspin on my...

Why wouldn't you be able to find a Fextra on Aliexpress? They are everywhere for around $20. Fextra is every bit worth $33 if you had to pay that much to be honest. But the others in the same 'thin OFF- looping 7ply' category and similarly priced (maybe a little more expensive) are DHS PG7...

Is the total surface area similar to the standard blade? I know you can't transfer it, but I'm wondering whether if it'll be heavier than usual after cutting.

Thanks for creating the video. Can you change the video so it's "made for kids"? Because you've made it that way, I can't save it to a Youtube playlist. Note that "made for kids" is meant for videos specifically directed at an audience of children. Since your video is made for everyone, you...

What is the weight difference of rubbers cut for the Cybershape vs a standard (e.g. 157x150 mm) blade? Is there more surface area and therefore the cut rubbers would be heavier than regular? How much of a difference would it make?

If you believe the ttgearlab results, this blades vibrates quite a lot. Whether that is "good" or not depends on if you actually want it to.

I was watching SEA Games Mixed Doubles Finals and someone said that the commentator was "Longle" Was this you? Was a great moment for Vietnam so it would be cool if you were there.

Great video even though it's partly a mobile phone advert. Turn on subtitles and auto-translate and it's understandable for non Chinese speakers. Technology has been out to measure speed and spin for a long time. Really wish WTT would put up these measurements to improve viewer experience.

I've always wondered... Would it be legal to glue a small bit of rubber to the bottom of your racket handle for those handle butt shots (e.g. #22 in the video). IIIRC, I think one of the TTD guys tries these shots often.

From my limited research on the topic, celebrity net worth estimates are either wild guesses or just outright made up.

It was written on the sponge of rubber before I glued it. I can take a picture of it once I remove it.

We had a discussion about these readings from Anatomic Edge recently. I've heavily suspect that their readings measure the topsheet only. They're using a Shore A durometer with the small and pointy measuring needle. The pressure just seems too shallow to be measuring the sponge as well. For an...

Came across this Youtube review about Moon 12 Blue, which I'm posting in case anyone is interested in this rubber and wanted to see it in action:

Oh damn, yet another rubber in the confusing Rxton series to try. I would say something like "this is going to hurt my pocketbook" but that's fortunately never the case when it comes to Loki rubbers

TBH, I haven't done much shadow training despite hearing many different coaches all saying how effective it is. I've always just used a ball spinner and VR for at-home training. I don't recommend VR now since I think it'll just mess with your strokes. Kind of dumb of me because I always did...
