I'm not sure why you're fixated on Acuda S2. There's nothing too special about that rubber. However if you are willing to spend more, you may want to tryout Rakza XX, Nittaku Z2 or Victas v22

Loki T3, cheap, fast, very punchy.

On the Loki chart, Europe Diamond and T3 have the same topsheet. "A1" i believe. Have you found the topsheet to be different from T3?

I've heard of people using toothpaste on old rubbers to make them look newer. Anybody tried this? Does it work and does it damage the rubber at all?

I actually bought the Yinhe Qing LP rubber to mess with people who I don't like. But I never cut it and glued it yet. But maybe one of these days I will set it up. Having never played with LP before, but having played against LP, I'm very confident I could do some real damage with LP. I just...

I just put on this old Nittaku H3 orange turbo. I last boosted and used it 3 years ago and its just been sitting in ziploc. The booster effect still remains, as its still very bouncy. The topsheet doesnt look very nice...but it still feels tacky and very grippy. How well do you think the...

Do T3 Carbon and T3 speed use the same topsheet as regular T3? I found the topsheet is not grippy enough. Do Telson rubbers use the same topsheet as T3?

Any other new Loki rubbers coming out this year? A softer "bh" version of LAC would be really cool. I guess that's what Rxton 7 is for...

Usatt's points don't make much sense to me. Why didn't they demand a pre-test? I would refuse to play a match unless i knew that my racket was acceptable. When they say tested 5 times, does that just mean tested 5 locations on the rubber? Different areas might be thicker depending on how even...

Some guys on reddit claim that there was NO pre-test. That doesnt seem fair to USA. If they tested, at least Jishan could switch to another racket. But Jishan should know that he needs to test his racket before the match just for his own sake as well.

Does that mean his rubber expanded during the match? Or did he switch his racket to a thicker one after the pre-test?

Why was KAZ team suspicious of the racket? Just by looking at it, could they see that it was over the thickness limit?

Lac, Jupiter 3, Bloom Power dont even need boosting. They are naturally bouncy

I always wondered why the Japanese broadcast just calls them "Taiwan" while the English broadcast calls it "Chinese Taipei", which is supposedly the official name. What do other foreign language broadcasts call it?

I also moved the Battle Max to the Atletico Power, a limba inner alc blade. I feel it fits this blade much better than before when it was on the Sanwei 75 inner. I feel the Battle Max needs to extra catchiness from the blade to perform well.

Absolutely the Chinese route is more "profitable". You really won't need to re-boost it every 2-3 weeks. I think the booster will last longer than that. And the general rubber performance isn't worse than Euro hybrids.

I just looked on my rxton pink, there seems to be a large bubble already! I only used it a few games. Maybe 1 or 2 hours at most. I didnt even boost it

its not harder than it looks! it really is very easy. Definitely you can and should learn to do it yourself. It's so easy and cheap. I even skip a lot of the things that the tutorials tell you to do, a lot of it isn't even totally necessary.

Definitely Jupiter 3 and Bloom Power. Rxton pink/blue or LAC.

My technique is different. Because i want to know the hardness relative to established esn rubbers. So I take a esn rubber with a known hardness of 50d. I test the durometer to see how hard I need to push to hit this. Typically with 1 hand it takes about 80% strength, a firm hard push. Then...
