  1. Replacing a handle on your blade. Has anybody tried this method?

    I'm wondering if the following trick would work: Wrapping the head with a towel or some type of fabric (in order to protect it), leaving the handle "unprotected" and then put it in the microwave for a few seconds. Would that heat the handle and soften the glue or would destroy the whole blade?

  4. Replacing a handle on your blade. Has anybody tried this method?

    Well, I wouldn't put the handle in boiling water under no circumstance. Firstly, the blade wood underneath will "swell" and secondly the steams from the boiling water will damage the head. If you want to change the handle, go to professional a carpenter that will do it for you.

  6. Gluing with glue sheets

    Actually, Tibhar's Duo has no instructions for application! The front side of the sheet is supposed to be for the rubber, while the back side for the blade. What is VERY STRANGE however, is that the way it's made it's for applying it upside down!!! There is a non-sticky stripe of paper at...
  7. Gluing with glue sheets

    1 & 2 Of course you have to remove the glue from the sponge! If you don't, the glue doesn't penetrate the sponge and the surface of the rubber is never even! And the playing properties go down the drain. 3. Yes gluing requires practice and has many little tricks that you have to be aware of...
  8. Gluing with glue sheets

    Well another great advantage of glue sheets, is that they do not leave any glue residue on the sponge, so you can easily try the same rubbers on another blade. With glue, you have to remove the glue from the sponge first (unbelievable hassle), before you try used rubbers on another blade.
  9. Gluing with glue sheets

    Glue sheets have two sides:The "strong" side that is for the rubber and the "weaker" side that is for the blade. Splintering can occur if you glue on the blade the side that is for the rubber. otherwise if you are careful, you can avoid splintering
  10. Gluing with glue sheets

    I am a intermediate player, and cannot honestly say that I noticed any difference in "feeling" or ball bounce, using the exact same setup that I had....
  11. Gluing with glue sheets

    Well that's debatable.For a pro player that will change rubbers several times during a year, yes its expensive. But for the recreational/amateur player that changes rubbers once or twice a year, it's much safer and cheaper. From my experience,glue after 2-3 years in the bottle, tends to get...
  12. Gluing with glue sheets

    Recently, instead of gluing with the "traditional" water glue, I tried using glue sheets (specifically the Tibhar Duo). Glue sheets traditionally are used for gluing ox pimple out rubbers. However I used them for gluing my Xiom Vega pro rubbers. The outcome amazed me: Perfect gluing,so even...

    What a great idea! Lets forget the "boring" red and black rubbers!!! Why not turn rubbers into fashion items! Just imagine a rubber in Burberry colouring!!!!!
  15. Rule Approved! New colour rubbers as of 2020!

    What I like most from our "positive thinking" (sic) friend is this: While he may not give not even one argument of what the multicolored rubbers will offer to the sport or even explain why he supports the change, nonetheless he has the audacity to call everyone else as "negative thinker" ...
  16. Rule Approved! New colour rubbers as of 2020!

    “There is an eye-catching proposition being put forward by the Equipment Committee. The idea is that players will be able to use different-coloured rubbers and not merely black and red as the current rules stipulate. If approved, this will bring about a very significant change in the visual...

  18. Asia-Euro Cup 2018, Aug 4-5, 2018

    In a way, Ι agree with you: Although I didn'd watch all the 1st day's matches, I can't say that I've seen any difference in the matches of the Asian-Euro cup, as opposed to the "usual" where the white ball is used. There were rallies, yes , but i cannot say that they were much more than usual...
