I think i remember seeing this a while back. Was the conclusion that the difference was small?

Oh yeah I forgot. Yeah interesting they have K3 faster than both A1 and D09c. @Dan is there a place we can see the entire list of TTD ratings for all rubbers you have tested in the past?

Seems like a lot of people are bubbling. Loki needs to know about this and do a little better

can you link me? Which one is 8.5 and 8.8?

I do, but I enjoy having one of each color. So I have green, purple, blue, and pink.

I should've figured this out earlier, but I found the best way to check if a rubber is safe to boost is to take the cutaway rubber and try to tear the pips away from the sponge. If it separates easily, then it is quite risky to boost. If it is somewhat resistant, then it is safe. For me, I...

After a few days, the rubber finally uncurled and I glued it onto a racket so I can test it soon. Just by bouncing it though...I'm somewhat optimistic. It does seem softer and somewhat more elastic. So maybe this time it will be able to grab the ball and produce arc.

Has anybody boosted Tornado V5 or Kokutaku rubber? How is the reaction to booster?

After boosting many rubbers I have found some rubbers have a strong reaction and some have a small reaction. By reaction, I mean a big increase in rebound and performance. I found that Loki GTX and Friendship Aurora had the strongest reaction: 5/5 Rhyzen ZGR had a very good reaction: 4/5...

just check the gif man. I didn't say against incoming topspin.

But again, here your own words testify against you. Imagine if somebody invented a new type of LP that DOES add to the spin, somehow changes the spin to sidespin, or any manner of wacky confusion. Should this new rubber be allowed for the sake of variety?

I didn't say it adds spin. But fine, just to clear up the confusion: LP doesn't add spin. The slice shot from the LP results in a topspin ball.

Missing the forest for the trees. You are free to think whatever you want. But to set the record straight: YES, with LP you can hit a topspin shot with a slice and you can hit a underspin shot with a forward topspin motion.

Here is how LP produces topspin from a push stroke:

But your own words betray you as well. The very fact that you point out the confusion and haziness of how LP works is the very same reason people think it should be banned. The argument for banning it is because of the very fact that you pointed out, there is significant confusion and...

Well we disagree. I could care less if you agree or disagree. In my experience, if you do a heavy topspin loop to LP that blocks the shot with a forward motion that normally would produce topspin, the ball will come back as heavy underspin. That is my finding and nothing will change my opinion.

I do understand how it works. I didn't say they can produce topspin or underspin at will any time they want. It depends on the spin of the incoming shot. My point is that the equipment enables them to make unnatural spin that does not follow the same physical pattern as other rubbers. Don't...

Not sure about the oxidization. It looks like a normal topsheet to me, so I don't think there's any issue with durability. If you saw my other thread, I just pulled out a 25 year old rubber that is still tacky and grippy, so I tend to be suspicious when people say a certain rubber has poor...
