  1. Yasaka Bold Dragon - Review

    Yea I saw videos of them being super tacky, unsure what happened to mine. But did you get the med soft? weirdly, sometimes my Chinese rubbers get super tacky after boosting. I applied there 3rd layer just now, will get back in 48 more hrs.
  2. Yasaka Bold Dragon - Review

    No, mine doesnt hold for 10 secs. Very Very low arc, very hard to play with, looping is so hard. I like to loop the ball thin but this rubber is pretty hard so it didn't grip the ball that good, tho driving and blocking is S+. If you order Med-Hard, you HAVE to boost, in no way is this plays...
  3. Yasaka Bold Dragon - Review

    I just got it, package smells like fish, typical Cheap chinese rubbers like battle 2/3. I ordered medium hard, feels like 41 deg dhs scale. I will practice today and update soon. But from bouncy it feels slow and its not that tacky out of the package (maybe bc Its the med hard version). I will...

  5. best tt shoe?

    i have the aero, the japanese guy has both and he said aero better. I dont have ace so i just take his word for it. It is a really good shoes, a lot of technology behind it not just a shoe. Andro also released a good pair that looks good too...
  6. best tt shoe?

    a japanese guy at my club recommended it, Ive been playing with it for 3 months. Very good, one thing I don't like is the ventilation, it gets quite hot and sweaty. Other than that It is very very good. Its a little big, I wear size between 10 - 10.5 US and ordered 28.5 cm(US 10.5). It is a...
  7. Nittaku Gyo-En Review

    I have the same problem with my so-ten (blue version of this blade). It rattles, every drive every loop every block, feels hollow. Maybe the wood they use in the handle? But it doesn't feel as crisp as a butterfly blade. I hated it so much to where I stopped using.
  8. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Like he said, if you want a cleaner and life +, I recommend rev 3 over the first link I sent. 2nd link is for life tacky restoring and appearance. I wish I have example but I don't have it with me anymore.
  9. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    This is the one I am mentioning, a cleaner + life extending, like the REvolution 3 Cleaner and Rejuvenator. I think it works okay. If your rubber is really bad, especially tacky Chinese. This works like wonder, completely turned my grayed out H3 National BS top sheet into a brand new one, and...
  10. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    It doesnt like to me contacted with clothes. Sometimes i swiped it into my pants or shirts during play, ive never had this happened to me w other rubbers but the xiom c55. Look pretty dead but still plays normal. I started using one of those rubber cleaner that has some oil for rubber life...
  11. best tt shoe?

    I ordered the Nittaku x yonex moving aero and a used mizuno drive 7 from buyee. They should come next month and I'm excited. I been using asics gel rocket 11 (a volleyball shoes) and I hate it.
  12. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    xiom c55 is worth a shot, it was a risky decision for me to buy it but I am glad I did. This is just my opinion hope this helps. I used to play European bh rubber, but with 09c you have to play like fan zhendong, and bh loop to fully use 09c, been playing with 09c for over a year now and I don't...
  13. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    I think even tho it is JTTA and made in japan. I have 3 09c sheets, and they all different to me, very slightly. 2 red, one of my red is extremely more tacky than the other, a black 09c isn't as tacky as the red for me (Yes I use protective sheets on all of them). I understand you on the 39...
  14. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    I noticed our setup is pretty similar, I used to play hurricane 3 on fh. But I boosted a national h3 39 degree and it was too soft, then boosted a 40 degree provincial but then I ran out of boost and only applied 1 thick layer so it was still hard and hard to play so I gave up. How do you like...
  15. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    For me, it is the opposite. If I only block, the catapult effect is so great that the ball will fly out. I have to drive it or loop it back to reduce the catapult effect. Which concludes for me that the rubber is not ideal for blocking. This is why I think the control is really good on just...
  16. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    I agree. overall it is my current setup. What do you mean by engage sponge? I blocked the ball for a partner and the ball flew out and he looked confused. All I did was driving it back, and it produced so much spin.
  17. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Here is my full review on C55. I have been playing for 1 month, unironically the most comfortable rubber I have used. I use all the Chinese rubber my whole life and for some reason, C55 just works for me. I am obviously not a national player and c55 is so spinny and so good at blocking. This...

    strangely, my red 09c is tackier by miles than my black 09c.
