  1. Is the rubber still usable?

    Experiment successful.
  2. Wcq nailed again. Most shameless pro on tour currently

    Whats keeping anyone for checking every serve every time like in tennis. And no not eagle eye, there are line judges too. What is keeping anyone to hiring one person to check every serve and if there's fault then tell the umpire with maybe 5 sec delay. First it would look awkward but after a...
  3. Wcq nailed again. Most shameless pro on tour currently

    Rules and laws should not be enforced like this. "If you can't protect yourself you should be beaten... " Doesn't sound so cool to me.
  4. Continued consistency of rubber weight is a key.

    I knew people who took a scale into the butterfly store and measured their tenergies since forever... So it could have been done all along even for casual customers. Granted not everyone lives close to physical stores so this is convenient for those customers.
  5. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    I tried it but I couldn't boost it well so it didn't feel amazing to me. Also not really cheaper than H3BS prov so kind of lost all of its appeal.
  6. is H8-80 boosted Harder to use than Dignics 09c or easier

    I have seen this too with 8-80, sponge is a bit fragile. I think 8-80 is easier to use, but performance is just similar to D09c. D09c is better for sure. That being said 8-80 is quite durable if you glue it on and leave it. The topsheet will outlast D09c several times in hours. My biggest...
  7. Stay away from European rubber because they are fragile

    I think Dignics and Glayzer have the most chipping on the edges, except for 09c, that doesn't do it at all. Tenergy also does it but not as bad. Still, besides that Dignics and Glayzer durability is still probably one of the best if not the best of all rubbers. Some older ESN rubbers are not...
  8. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Mixed review from pros, but seems some try to adopt it. Maybe it needs a significantly different technique and strategy to use well so one who is already used to the current equipment finds it hard to adjust his style and strategy.
  9. Importance of gluing well

    Pro players wait about 30-40 minutes. In China the pros actually do 3-4 layers on the rubber and one on the blade. But I find the 2-2 better since less wait time and makes more sure all the blade is covered well with glue. 3-2 would also be a good way. Just be careful that depending on your...
  10. Importance of gluing well

    This I not necerally will be an advice how to glue but maybe some will take away some things that are important. I had run out of glue, and I could only could do 2 very thin layer on sponge and on blade. The feelin of that rubber was so metallic and hollow and slow... It was a Chinese rubber...
  11. Stay away from European rubber because they are fragile

    It's true Chinese rubbers can take more until they get nicked. I'm not a huge fan of ESN but they are no worse than Butterfly in this regard. (Chinese rubbers have durability issues too, but different ones) Also hitting the table is not intended use. I think you shouldn't drive your car into...
  12. The legend of Hurricane 1

    Sorry the forum sometimes loads the replied text slow on phone and I don't notice I write something before the quote. I would say I'd look at clubs old shared rackets. Maybe there's old DHS "pre-made" which has H1. In my country, we have a ton of 30+ year old 729 rackets with original rubbers...
  13. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I think that's just glue on the side of the sponge. Happens to me all the time too.
  14. The legend of Hurricane 1

    My s My second thought was that the print on the sponge didn't really evolve much either, I think a few years ago they still used that print for the serial number. Maybe even now it can be found on some DHS rubbers. Pretty old school but I like it.
  15. The legend of Hurricane 1

    DHS cutting corners since forever 😓
  16. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    Good call. Blue sponge one. It doesn't need boost and a bit lighter than purple. I actually was lucky enough to buy purple when it was still manufactured. I liked it a lot too just very heavy. 55-57g cut. BD5 i will search on taobao if it looks interesting I might try. Not everyone is a strong...
  17. a disgrace for chinese tt?

    Heck, I'm at 2000 points in China now which is not bad at all, some people say that is province level, but I play with "ALMOST" former province level payers and by this I mean the players who didn't get to play super league with the big boys but they are not far off even if they are past their...
  18. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    I'm talking about 14-18 USD so does Dianchi worth 30bucks? It does not in these conditions. If someone loves it then it's worth 200USD+ Who am I to judge?
  19. On bending knees and squatting

    i tell you the best advice you ever get for free. Go to China for a month, and use their squat toilets. No more words need to be said. Every other advice is bullshit. Ps. Also don't crap on your pants or ankles. That doesn't count.
  20. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    I can respect that, and maybe out of the pack the Dianchi D is better than H3N OS prov. But still disqualified since it's factory boosted. H3N maybe also factory boosted but I have my doubts recently that DHS is not doing it just shitting on the glue layer and telling everyone to swallow their crap.
