  3. New Blade Journey and Jinshi KLC

    I took the no-brainer route and went with RapidAPI. I picked this one: https://rapidapi.com/nguyenmanhict-MuTUtGWD7K/api/douyin-media-no-watermark1

  4. New Blade Journey and Jinshi KLC

    Good call, tech bro! Thanks for the correction. I built an agent that downloads the audio from a Douyin video, transcribes it with Whisper V3, translates it with Qwen 2.5 Max, and then I double-checked manually with R1 to verify the whole "08 outer veneer" story. It was pretty certain that '08'...

  5. New Blade Journey and Jinshi KLC

    Hey guys, here is the translation from Gan's review of the new Jinshi KLC-9 on Douyin : "Brothers and sisters, we’re back with another perspective video, this time focusing on the Jinshi Chonglan KLC-9. This version of the KLC-9 features a 1.5K carbon fiber layer and a koto surface veneer. Right...

  6. Remplacement rozena

    T05 but very sensitive spin sensitive, otherwise T19 is a great compromise when transitioning from Rozena to Tenergy. The T19 is still faster and you can really generate more spin, but it's less forgiving - you can't be late on the ball. If you want to keep that Butterfly/Spring Sponge feel...

    There you go ! : https://stervinou.net/ttbdb/index.php I also have this one for blades and rubbers weight : https://yattdb.pabuisson.com/

  8. [Concluded] Looking for an ‘all wood alternative’ for Viscaria

    Hello everyone, here is the list of 5-ply all-wood blades that are closest to the Viscaria in terms of its composition (Koto/ALC/Limba/Kiri) The Butterfly Clarty is nothing more and nothing less than a Viscaria without ALC fiber

  9. Longevity of boosters - any difference?

    I've been using Kailin for more than 6 months now since my time in Shanghai, where I learned how to use it properly at the store and club where I played. I can confirm from what I was told there and my own experience, that an H3N BS (40d hardness in my experience) can be reboosted 3 times, but...

  10. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    Hey guys, I'm updating my post with the translation of the instructions written on my Kailin bottle : Instructions for use: Apply 2-3 coats depending on your needs. After it is completely dry, use a water-based adhesive for bonding. It is recommended to let it dry naturally. Drying time...

  11. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    100% right ! Thanks for the insight. I have observed this "reverse doming" phenomenon when I change or re glue a rubber, even if it is not boosted.

  12. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    I saw more 09C in the club I went (the head coach and the best provincial players in the training hall played with FZD ALC, H3N BS and D09c) but here's is an interesting chart

  13. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    I don't feel the need to, I believe the sponge would become way too soft, too mushy.

  14. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    Thank you ! Indeed, the question of boosting is quite personal, but I've noticed some rules that no one breaks in the shop and the club I visited : always apply very thin layers, no more than 2 (with Kailin), always apply a layer of glue beforehand to protect the sponge, then two layers after...

  15. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    thank you ! I was told 2 times, I believe you can try 3 times if you apply very very thin layers or if you don't feel the rubber too mushy I agree that the Booster has more of a mechanical impact than a chemical one (which shouldn't be overlooked) on the rubber. I guess that's also why I was...

  16. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    I have no idea if it is the most widely used config. They advised me 2.1 because 2 layers (even thin) of booster + 3 layers of glue make the rubber heavier and thicker. Prov vs nat is a matter of budget and rubber quality consistency.

  17. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    To preserve the sponge and avoid bubbles between the sponge and the rubber

  18. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    I can't speak for all of China, but at the club where I played and in terms of sales at the store I visited, the Rozena was quite popular. The Chinese appreciate Butterfly products a lot for carbon blades and backhand rubbers (the prices are much lower than in Europe, about 25% to 45% less). As...

  19. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    you cut half of my sentence haha 😅! when I said 'keep it simple,' I meant that people there don't overthink about equipment and boosting methods. They just go for an H3, boost it and stick with it.

  20. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    Hey Zeen, H3 is actually playable without boosting (37 to 39 hardness ofc) but it's like driving a Porsche 911 running on three cylinders. It will run, but you'll miss out on half the performance and enjoyment it has to offer. As for the popularity of Kailin in the Shanghai province, I don't...
