Well I like Fastarс G1 for backhand. I used to play Vega Pro and Rakza 7 for quite a long time and I can say that G1 is much better for me. In fact, G1 will probably be too hard for backhand for many, but the combination of rubber and blade is important here. On a blade with internal...

2.1 mm

We don't know anything about his life before he became famous and popular. Our young players buy their equipment with their own money and because of this, they don't change it every 2 weeks. I don't know how things are in China, but it can be assumed that Zhang Jike, being a young and unknown...

Why do you think the air is thinner in a large hall?

We have a popular ukrainian proverb: They gave you honey, maybe they'll give you a spoon too

Without his comment this thread will be grey and dull

I am also pleased that Zhang Jike confirmed my observation about the speed and rotation of the ball in different halls. Among the players I personally know, I am the only one who has different equipment for different halls.

Although there is an opinion that the booster should be applied to the glue layer, I always tried to apply the booster to the sponge and only then the glue and for me this works best. It is great that Zhang Jike confirmed this! Now I have a sneaking thought that applying the booster to the glue...

Hi, @AdamH! I think that the difference in sponge thickness between 1.9 and 2.1 will be significant. At least I feel the difference between 2.0 and 2.2 mm for other rubbers, such as H3 and J3. For me, it's just night and day. 2.0 does not play the way I need it to. Less dwell time, speed and...

I don't understand anything, but it's very interesting

In general, the new Hurricane 3 needs to be broken in well. Over time, this itself becomes softer, old H3 become very soft. If you want to soften the topsheet faster, then you can use Vaseline oil. I apply a few drops and rub it with my hand several times until the oil is completely absorbed...

39 and 40 both are definitely slower than LAC

It's the same for me. J3 is slower than LAC and reacts more strongly to the booster.

I got a little tired of experimenting and just ordered another Loki N80. For me, this rubber is the best in price/quality for forehand. The downside is the use of a booster + oil. Actually, I have not yet found a rubber that plays similarly without a booster, so this is a conditional downside.

There will be no "D09C killers", just as there will be no "H3 killers", just as there was and will be no "T05 killer". Over time, these top manufacturers will release something new that will be better adapted to possible changes and many players will switch to this and many will return back to...

The Stuor Vis I played with had a higher second speed than the Pro 01. The heaviest and toughest was the Viscaria Mishima.

I didn't like the H3-50 at all, for me it's the worst DHS rubber. I liked the Glazer 09C out of the box, but after two weeks it became smaller in size and stopped playing as it did at the beginning. I tried pumping it with air, but it didn't give a result. Apparently it also requires a booster...

My solid wood five-layer Bastian Steger Butterfly blade degraded. At that time, I trained very intensively every day for several hours, and after about half a year, the blade became slow and flexible. I personally have not seen this with carbon blades. But I can say that I often get blades with...

For me, it's the other way around. Sueke №2 itself is thicker and sticks better, while Suke №2 is more liquid and tends to come off both the sponge and the blade. Suke №2 is much easier to remove from the sponge than Sueke №2.
