people usually do most things because of habit or because they are told this is how it's done and don't spend time explaining to themselves. the recommendation waiting for most of the water evaporate from glue before gluing rubber to blade started out as a way for making the paddle get from...

tt bosters are petrochemical oils. the sponge of a tt rubber is foam rubber. booster work by getting absorbed in the foam rubber. this leads to sponge expansion which translates in that catapulty feel which we like. petrochemical oils evaporate over time and the sponge more or less reverts to...

b2x is has my favorite head and my most hated handle.

yes. less spin countering is more confusing for us plebs because the ball behaves opposite to our mental model that we've learned about how the ball should behave while playing inverted vs inverted. but ppl who opt to use long pips pay the price for it, it's a shit rubber with which you can't...

what? no. less friction correlates with less spin "reversal". the most important reason ppl play long pips is that they don't reverse spin. just forget about "reversal" since it seems to be confusing. let's replace it with countering. lp ox has basically no spin countering. lp sandwich has...

long pips doesn't reverse spin like inverted rubber does. because ox doesn't even have a sponge to dampen the spin. so for example, if you put a lot of underspin on the ball and long pips user pushes back, you get back pretty much the spin you put on the ball, but because the direction of...

for familiarizing yourself with how long pips work, ox for sure. ox can offer the least amount of spin reversal and thus the most long pipy feeling.

:) you'll have to do your own research to find out the formula. some of that "dirt/dust" you see coming off the tt rubber when using alcohol is actually rubber. while you can clean tt rubber with alcohol, you'll usually get less mileage out of the rubbers because you wear them out faster. some...

that product does what it's advertises to do. it's ingredients actually make sense. we have a very similar product which is(shameless plug) as good as this one(we are not ready for mass market yet and currently selling only locally). we couldn't find any other formula that works better than the...

big lottery wants an outlet to get rid of old machines confirmed!

it probably wasn't this guy

the booster effect wears off in time. if you didn't bubble your rubber, you're fine. you'll get to where you like it in 1-3 weeks.

sanwei 75 inner is a very good blade, like, very very good.

it's covered with a special material that elongates the fermions inside the sponge when applying ~6kg of pressure, locally increasing the weak nuclear force to be on par with the strong nuclear force, but just in that specific vector space manifold. look up the AdS/CFT correspondence for more...

ok so in your view, buying bar of chocolate is not easy because it involves costs. at the same time time, you say you've made logical arguments. don't see any point engaging any further. you are correct in anything you said and will say.

did someone ask you to pay for claims i made? i sure didn't. i did propose a wagerlike agreement though: also, i guess you use a different definition of contradiction. my working definition is: a proposition, statement, or phrase that asserts or implies both the truth and falsity of something...

you ofc would control for those variables.

totally up for it if you are willing to pay for experimental costs if results support my claims. water/uv cycling(whenever you pass by a lumber yard, look out for stacks of wood that are soaking wet) is used as a standalone or as a precursor to kiln drying in dimensionally stable wood...

moisture and specifically water does sip into the blade and the handle, collecting experimental evidence about this is extremely easy. all true. didn't say that hinoki has high density, it is low on the janka scale(which measures hardness but wood hardness is highly correlated with wood...

in this context, the wood aging process involves exposing wood to cycles of water soaking and uv treatment or just leaving it out in the open uncovered but stacked such that it's well ventilated. this makes the surface of the wood harder and more dimensionally stable.
