Hi, The trend seems to be mainly with ESN / Spring sponges, not so much the Chinese Rubbers, these already have what is considered hard sponges. Although the ESN / spring sponges now appear to be overtaking the likes of DHS / 729 for sponge hardness. However DHS are also going in the...

Hi never used Skyline TG2 Neo At present the H3 Neo 37 deg for both FH and Bh !!!!

Hi Everyone, So after seeing the earlier thread that compared H3 blue sponge, Dignics 09C and H3 37 degree, I was interested in finding some 37 degree hardness H3. (This puts it at about 50 degree ESN) Tenergy 05 is 36 degree/49 ish ESN i managed to buy a sheet of H3 neo provincial 2.15mm...

Cheers Carl, These are new serves for me, never used them until I started playing again 20 months ago, and really it’s over the last 6 months that I’ve started to try them, with last 3 months or so practicing on a table, so work in progress, no fake motion yet, some days are better than...

Hi serve practice (of sorts!!!)

Cheers, it’s uploading to YouTube now, how will I find the link? Totally new to this !!

Right, I have MP4 footage taken today :) Now all I have to do is get it on here, which for a total techno retard like me is proving problematic :mad: Don’t think this format (MP4) supported in the manage attachments options. so how can I get it attached to the post? Working from an iPad cheers.

Hi, I have a couple of sheets, red which is maybe 4 months old, this has mainly been used on BH side and has dulled where finger position is for various serves, doesn’t seem to have effected performance. Black sheet is about a month old, haven’t noticed any change yet, I’ll take a closer look...

Yeah I bet you are!!!!! This weekend , I’ll do something from home, some serve practice and FH / BH against robot, heavily edited of course!!!

The blade my kids have is a Tibhar IVL balsa, which is a very light all round blade, only 70 grams weight, so the whole set up is light, the softer sponges/ top sheet combos are usually less dense and therefore lighter rubbers. my kids are 10 and 12 so a light set up, I feel may be better for...

Tibhar Aurus soft, or sound could be a good option as well. My kids have Aurus Sound on their set ups, still has some speed, and good spin, lightweight and good control. When playing with them there’s definitely enough spin being produced, even by a beginner, when I tried it out I thought the...

Hi, last weekend I had my first playing / training session since lockdown started at the end of March in the UK Weather in the UK especially the south and London has been very hot (as far as us Brits are concerned) 30 to 36 degrees and humid with it. COVID protocols were use of hand sanitiser...

Hi, take a look at the Stiga Defensive Pro, good feel, still quick enough for attacking play, fairly stiff, 5 + 2 composition, large head size, [be careful to check rubber sheet size against size of blade, friendship rubber sheets may not big enough to cover the blade fully (handle to tip)...

You could try FXS on backhand if you found the MXS to lively, downside is it’s softer and not as fast, but good spin and feel. Not a ‘hard’ rubber though.

Cheers!!! One day I’ll give it a try, when I get another sheet of DHS H3 Nat!!

Cheers for the post ‘scrubplayer’ i’ve only ever boosted 3 rubbers, so interesting to see how you do it. read a few articles and watched the occasional video about boosting. 1st attempt was Standard H3, 2.1mm Red sheet, 1layer of Normal glue, 3 layers of FLT booster. Worked well domed up, but...
