I used to own a tennis racquet stringer. Changed my strings all the time.

So what you do is put the rubber on some wax paper with one small edge exposed. Put the rubber on aligning that edge first. Then pull up the rest of the rubber and peel off the wax paper then put it down and everything lines up. No big deal.

With 2mm soles it looks like those will wear out very quickly. I can see holes in my toes and heel.

So they can clean up the plastic dust.

That process looks like from the 60's or 70's with a lot of manual labor. Automation today should be much much faster and precise. I'm shocked at how much handing is still being done on mass produced items.

we need a molding engineer to chime in. But as far as I know the dust is like corn starch on candies. They help the part release from the mold. If they brush off the dust you wouldn't need to wash the balls. It's just annoying to me and wouldn't take too much effort for the manufacturer to...

Is humidity bad for plastic balls? I doubt it. I'm pretty sure the dust is for die release.

They can make machines that can brush hundreds of balls at a time on a continuous basis. So the cost per ball would be negligible.

So I get that when they manufacture the balls they need the dust or chalk for die release when the balls are formed. Why would it be so hard to add a process to the end of the line to brush off that dust before it ships? It would be a very simple machine with huge roller brushes that cleans up...

You've just described every long pips player. They can only win ugly because they can't win pretty so they have to resort to different tactics.

Is that why Majin Bao can't wear official USA colors?

So is this supposed to have Hurricane grip and Tenergy spring?

I heard that the N. Korean busses have their windows blacked out when they travel so they can't see how great the outside world is.

I used it for months. I didn't notice really bad durability. But I'm comparing to Dragon Grip not H3 or chinese rubbers.

I wouldn't say that. It last much longer than Dragon Grip. When it starts to wear the performance doesn't drop off a cliff but rather ramp down slowly.

That's exactly my experience with Stiga Dragon Grip. Seems like they are similar formulations. Try K3 or Omega VII.

I used the V22 for a few months and really liked it a lot. It has good grip with a slight bit of tack. Good power when you accelerate with it It lasted quite a long time too and didn't lose much grip. The only downfall I found was that it was a little unstable. When hitting medium speed...

You mean "dissappeared"? I know you can't talk bad about dictatorship like N Korea or China or something might happen to you.

Funny how there is very little discussion about the Pan Am games. I didn't even know it was coming.

When you have to play for your next meal you will play like superman.
