  1. Rubber hardness

    Reduced mass is just a term they used. Since it causes so much tension :-), lets use the term effective mass, which they used too, from now on please. In the figures 5 and 6, in zeio's post, you can see the approximate values of the effective mass. Something does collide with the ball - what...
  2. Rubber hardness

    It was interesting to read those posts. Why do you say he didn't explain reduced mass. It was said in there, that it is just the effective mass of the arm/paddle which collides with the ball. They just use the word "reduced", they could have used other word, say "estimated". ((Imo, they used...
  3. How Does Boosting Rubber Affect The Throw Angle?

    Then basically what you are saying is: - too small contact area (no/small hug), like in pimples => lower throw - too much contact area (big hug), like in T64 => also lower throw That is consistent in itself, no contradiction in it. But hard for me to accept, I thought big hug would always...
  4. How Does Boosting Rubber Affect The Throw Angle?

    Thank you langel, that is exactly the kind of description I was hoping for. I thought that the greater contact area would result in higher throw. The ball with spin would have greater area to apply that spin on, better grip, and that would result in wider angle. Like when you push off with the...
  5. How Does Boosting Rubber Affect The Throw Angle?

    BB, you sometimes ask people to provide some equation, like you are trying to silence them down. It is contra-productive, especially, because you don't provide this equation yourself, and also because I'd say majority is not after the equation. It would be better if you in plain words *visually*...
  6. How Does Boosting Rubber Affect The Throw Angle?

    Hi langel, thanks for the reply. I'm trying to find self-consistent understanding of it :-) I understand what you are saying. Basically what I need is to know "why" and "how" it happens that tha ball rebounds from the softer rubber with tighter angle. And thank to all your (and Carl's and...
  7. Review: Vodak M. Horejsi EnTech ALC OFF

    Hi Kuba, moving in to here from the PM. What you ask is interesting, it didn't occur to me (probably because I was already stepping a bit down from Viscaria), but it is somehow logical given there is Horejsi (all wood) and Horejsi ALC. I would expect the version with APC to be somewhere in...
  8. Blade advice

    I had it in hands for a while (without rubbbers), so I could feel the softness and at the same time the stiffness (paradox), measure the frequency and feel the vibration. It is indeed intriguing. I am looking forward your in-depth review, but not in a hurry at all, as I am now totally...
  9. How Does Boosting Rubber Affect The Throw Angle?

    Well, they appeared clearer than that, hence my question. And also I think the JustANoob's post was good/fair and it should be sorted out, IMHO. OK, so I see it this way. I don't really care what throw angle a rubber has. I play with the rubbers I play with, because I like the feeeling, prefer...
  10. How Does Boosting Rubber Affect The Throw Angle?

    USDC, you seem to be asking rhetoric questions here. But we all know you enough to expect that you have some reasons to ask what you ask. I just don't see them, care to explain???
  11. How Does Boosting Rubber Affect The Throw Angle?

    I guess, I should start with that. Karma rules. So, Igor, I wrote what I wrote in a too harsh tone after 5 biers. I like you, mostly like your posts. Let's just say we disagree on this one. Peace. Btw. it just occured to me. H3 is - like chilies, first you can't, later, you can't without - like...
  12. How Does Boosting Rubber Affect The Throw Angle?

    Igor, as a member of a former Soviet Union (meaning you, not me), I am hell of a surprised that you are not particularly sensitive to the "higher" injustice being forced onto you!!! Every f...ing one company is boosting the rubbers. They represent the state. Now I do boost too - you can call...
  13. FB/YA/ZY: All good things come to an end

    I don't understand. I was impressed (a lot) by Zhou Yu in the recent match against ML. Please explain.
  14. D09c vs H3Neo vs Rakza Z

    Taken from here. So I thought H3 H41 is like 55. How did you get to the 63?
  15. A Comprehensive List of Famous Blade Clones

    Hi, check the ttgearlab's test of HL5 and HL5X. My understanding is: HL5 ~ Fang Bo B2 ~ PG5 and HL5X ~ Fang Bo B2X ~ PG5X.
  16. Time Boll evaluates two paddles

    Here is a link to old post where the H3 and H3Neo are, scientifically?, compared. If someone had a setup like that, and measured/compared different rubbers, it would be interesting to see the results...

  18. Give me some advice on my Forehand loop

    Try to move your feet like 30cm more apart than now (wider stance). This will make it easier to transfer more weight to and from the right leg (right-hander), use the body a bit more, and then generate a stronger stroke. Thanks for posting, keep fighting!
  19. Blade Reccomendation

    My advice would be, go over all the ttgearlab posts about blades and their comparisons, and based on that select what you perhaps would like to have (based on performances of the blades). Some people here can then recommend similar blades to the ones you would select from the blades tested by...
