  1. Is there a way to fix a rubber's arc and lift?

    Actually there is video of my FH swing in another thread that I started. My FH swing is not like Ma Long, but with the same FH swing, I can lift and bite the ball a lot more with other popular rubbers such as Big Dipper, boosted H3, etc. I'm not saying my technique is perfect, I'm just saying...
  2. Is there a way to fix a rubber's arc and lift?

    Well I decided to give the GTX rubber just a tiny bit of baby oil to see if it improves. The rubber curved just very little, maybe at a 10 degree angle from completely horizontal. I wanted to be conservative because I didn't know what would happen. To my surprise, it seemed to really improve...
  3. Is there a way to fix a rubber's arc and lift?

    Yes, I also have Rxton 5 and think its a good rubber. Actually a really good rubber, usable unboosted, but seems ever better boosted. I'm also very curious how Loki N80 is. I have a feeling it is very similar to Rxton 5, but I don't want to spend the money and be disappointed again.
  4. Is there a way to fix a rubber's arc and lift?

    Yeah of course I can discard it, but it was $24 and if I can save it, I'd like to try to save it. If all else fails, maybe I will end up discarding it.
  5. Is there a way to fix a rubber's arc and lift?

    Discussed a little on another thread, but I'm still struggling with my current rubber, the Loki GTX on forehand. The problem is when looping, the rubber doesn't seem to grip the ball enough and doesn't get enough upward lift. I find that I really have to hit a very full stroke, or hit with a...
  6. H3 not work with some blades?

    Well I personally feel that H3 suits inner-carbon blades better. It amplifies the strength of H3, namely its spin, arc, and kick. On outer-alc, H3 feels more tame to me, and lacks the impressive extra gear that you see on inner-alc. But if you're going to use outer-alc anyways, I really doubt...
  7. Which rubbers come with the glue-layer on sponge and plastic cover on sponge?

    Let me know if you get to test it. I'm very curious if its a improvement over Moon Speed, which I already regard as a excellent rubber at its price.
  8. H3 not work with some blades?

    Personally I think H3 is much better boosted, and that makes sense since the entire China team boosts their H3 to the point of breakage. I don't see why H3 can't be used with Boll ALC? Lin GY and FZD and ZJK all used H3 on Viscaria-structure blade.
  9. Which rubbers come with the glue-layer on sponge and plastic cover on sponge?

    Why does it say the MS sponge is God's crossbow? Yes the new Moon 53 looks very promising. Have you tried it?
  10. Sealing a blade with the intent to make it harder

    There are many. For example...
  12. Sealing a blade with the intent to make it harder

    Why don't you get one of those blades where one side is outer alc and one side is inner alc? That seems like a safer bet than what your proposing.
  13. My Personal Guide to Rubbers on Aliexpress

    You should try the Jupiter 3. I've never tried J2, but J3 is supposedly a huge improvement.
  14. Which rubbers come with the glue-layer on sponge and plastic cover on sponge?

    Also I want to ask: Moon Speed is advertised as having the same sponge as Big Dipper (the God's Crossbow sponge). But when I look at the sponge on BD and on Moon Speed, they don't look similar. BD has a denser sponge, whereas MS has a porous sponge. Does anybody know really what's going on ?
  15. My Personal Guide to Rubbers on Aliexpress

    Yes I tried B2 unboosted. I think 39 or 40 hardness. Sponge was classic dense-hard Chinese type sponge. Definitely not a catapult effect, but bouncier and faster than H3. If you want a tacky rubber with catapult effect, then Big Dipper probably is your best bet. Bloom Power and Jupiter 3 are...
  16. My Personal Guide to Rubbers on Aliexpress

    Yeah I've been interested in Target National for a while, but i'm conflicted. Some people say its just a slow/Chineese rubber like H3. Some say its better than H3. So I don't really know. As I mentioned, Target 90 is very similar to H3. Also, Target series seems to come out with new rubbers...
  17. My Personal Guide to Rubbers on Aliexpress

    Over the past 12 months, I have sought to find and test the best rubbers available on Aliexpress. I wanted to write this personal Guide to the best rubbers on Aliexpress so everybody else can buy the rubbers easily. Most of the rubbers are available for under $15. I will categorize the rubbers...
  18. Nittaku Acoustic with Hurricane 3

    Did you test your acoustic with a new and unboosted H3? I have found that after boosting a rubber, it never returns to the original unboosted state. It always keeps 60-70% of the boosted level of bounciness. Also, the other day I tried a friend's Acoustic Carbon. I thought it was very...
  19. Which rubbers come with the glue-layer on sponge and plastic cover on sponge?

    Have you tried boosting Yinhe rubbers such as J3, BD, or Moon Speed? Since they are already factory boosted, does the extra boosting have a adverse effect? My friend said he tried boosting Moon Speed with Haifu but it didn't expand at all
