Mocker, can you compare Apollo 5 with Big Dipper? Speed, spin, arc? Are they very similar? I read that Apollo 5 is heavily boosted, so is it basically just a boosted version of BD?

Well for me, I don't demand that the rubber be always at 100% boosted. 80% seems more than good enough for me. 0% boosted H3 was very difficult for me to use because it had very little rebound. 80% is enough for me to attack and win points offensively. But if I never re-boost it, will it just...

Yeah after 2 weeks, H3 becomes slightly more alive, but still very slow. As of now, after 6 weeks, it is nowhere near the unboosted speed even after rubber is broken in. I know memory is fallible, but on this occasion, i'm reasonably sure that the rubber still feels fairly boosted even after 6...

I used Taiji booster that I got from Duke. I don't know anything about it, whether its considered stronger or weaker than Seamoon. I put 2 rather thin layers of booster on the H3, so definitely not strongly boosted, but I felt it was just enough booster to make H3N somewhat bouncy. Yes, I'm...

I have heard booster wears off, some say 2 weeks, some say 4 weeks, some say 2 months. Does the booster effect every wear off completely? I boosted a sheet of H3N about 6 weeks ago (playing 4 times a week), and it seems like it's still going strong. I think maybe the effect dropped to 80%, but...

I thought you rated H3 a 8.3, and rated Big Dipper a 7.7 I still think your rating is ludicrous (to me, H3 is a 8 and BD is a 8.8), but why are you recommending BD if you rated it lower than H3?

I was looking around for fast and tacky forehand rubbers. Sometimes they are referred to as hybrid rubber. I found several reviews saying Jupiter 3 is very fast and also tacky. This sounds like it could be exactly what I am looking for. Anybody with experience with this rubber? Or any other...

I forgot did you play Loki N80? How does N80 compare to ArthurChina?

You mean BD has lower arc than loki china? What other FH rubbers do you recommend?

Oh yes I saw a video of unpacking of Arthur China, and it does look factory tuned because it is domed outward. It sounds like it might indeed be similar to Big Dipper. But why don't you just use BD then? It's cheaper.

I wonder why Arthur China is so different from GTX? Both have a somewhat porous sponge with tacky topsheet. But GTX is very slow without boosting, and not so grippy.

Interesting. Would like to try it someday. Which rubber's speed would you say is most comparable to unboosted?

Why don't you try boosting it? I tested the Loki Arthur Asia, and I didn't love it. It was really heavy, and the grip wasn't high enough for me. Is the Arthur China a dense hard sponge in the likes of H3 and B2 and Yinhe Jupiter, etc?

Does H8 sponge react better to booster than H3?

Thats why i have put together a collection of budget versions of each major blade archetype. Outer alc - yinhe v14 pro $38 Inner alc - fang bo carbon $47 Outer zlc - lemuria zlc $32 Inner zlc - stuor zlc $30 Wood - yasaka ma lin offensive $40 Straight carbon - sanwei cc $12 each blade is under $50

Harimoto Super-ZLC has some really good reviews as well. Combining the speed of SZLC with the dwell time of limba-innerforce structure. The real one is pretty ridiculously expensive, but I have the Stuor clone coming in, so I'll let you know how that is.

Posted on the other thread too, but this one looks nice: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mN6W7iK

Handle is slightly thin, but I really like it. It is comfortable and easy to rotate in hand. Gives you more flexibility and range of shots.
