So, just for clarity, your opinion is that Harimoto has maximized his talent and full potential?

I didn't say its expert insight. It's just a calculated observation. Obviously Harimoto isn't the first to fail to maximize their talent. That's why I compared him to Zion Williamson.

And I'm not saying Harimoto isn't a very good player. Obviously he is very good. I'm saying, he hasn't lived up to his potential. He is not as good as he COULD be if he had improved on his junior days. He hasn't lived up to the title of "100 year talent". Zion Williamson was hyped as the best...

Nice job moving the goal post. You went from "Best non-Chinese" to "Japanese #1". You are the one ignoring facts, brother. Fact #1: He was the best 14 year old we have ever seen, but hasn't shown improvement Fact #2: He was the most hyped up player ever, being labeled as 100 year talent...

Harimoto "best non-Chinese" isn't even the best player on his national squad. "100 year talent". But but but he beat FZD. It DOES NOT MATTER if you can beat FZD on a good day. To win a tournament, you MUST win 5 matches in a row against all your opponents. Harimoto consistently loses to rank...

I think it's supposed to be the same. But some people have suggested that Pink comes in H39, and Blue comes in H40. Not sure if that is true or not, but if it is true, the softer one might be better for backhand. However, I have Pink, and it is listed as H39, but in reality it feels like H41

GTX, Rxton 3 Pink, Rxton 3 Pro, Arthur Europe could work for you.

On softer rubbers, it is very noticeable. On harder rubbers, its not noticeable

Recently i just spray a bit of the neottec cleaner onto the rubber, and wipe it with a slightly wetted towel. Seems to work well

Ok i put 1 layer seamoon on rxton blue sponge and 2 layer on orange. The basic hitting rebound is better, but overall I really dont like it. The topend power is not there, and the rubbers feel way too soft and sluggish. I cant loop with confidence or crispness. They are just too soft, mushy...

I think its far higher than 90%

But i think Rxton 5 uses the same sponge. Just the color is different

No i actually think the opposite. When a sponge curls so easily, it tells me it is too soft and wont react well to booster I think the orange R5 will perform better boosted

Ive boosted both before, i felt 40 had a better reaction to booster

After 1 layer of seamoon, the rxton pro curved a lot while the orange didnt curve much. Why would this happen?? Maybe the blue sponge was already treated with something which makes it easier to curve.

I tested this rubber today unboosted. It's actually a lot better than I thought. It's pretty similar to H8-80. It's got lowish-medium rebound, not as slow as I thought. The grip and tack is quite high. Flicks and loops were quite easy and spinny. I think I will like it even better boosted.

Unboosted, these rubbers were pretty good at looping against topspin, but they struggled against looping underspin. They don't have much rebound, so you need to put in all the effort to loop underspin. The problem is, they are rather soft, so it's like your full effort doesn't transfer to the...

Ok, after testing these 2 rubbers, rxton 5 and rxton 5 pro, the results are clear. Firstly, these 2 rubbers are 99% the same. I doubt i would know the difference. However, the orange sponge felt slightly firmer and had more topend power and spin and kick. I preferred this one. Overall, these 2...

I was testing the rxton and i thought it was horrible. Every shot was falling into the net, it was so weird Then i looked over and realized that my opponent was using anti spin rubber. Hate this

Is the rebound low? Just bouncing on the blade, the rebound for me is very very low, like the older H3 sheets. But maybe it becomes better when the tackiness wears off.
