Sorry Chris, there is no one i know who uses this blade. Neither in my club nor in my league. Maybe anybody else?

Sounds interesting.

Thanks for sharing. I really feel glad for you. Thomas is a great coach. Nothing better if someone's found what he's been lookin' for. Did you also play in a tournament, and if so, did you find any difference if any? How is the treatment in the club? Do you already speak german or do your...

Not sure if this has been posted before.

I might be wrong, but seems to me as if he hasn't meant Timo, NL

Hahahahaaa :D Best explanation so far.

As i've read homemade boosters aren't nearly as good as the ones you can buy. But i can't confirm this, since i haven't tried it personally. All i ever used is paraffin oil or baby oil and it does enough already IMHO. Here's a quote from the same thread as already mentioned above:

Hahaha, great. I hope Ma doesn't get punished too hard for losing that one game. :D

Since we've been already drifting away from the topic, i hope TT-Hopeful doesn't mind if i answer. Adding oil to the topsheet only helps to restore grip for a while and makes the topsheet softer. No wonder your rubber is reverse-doming. Due to your treatment the topsheet seems it has expanded...

Thanks for taking time to answer. I find this whole subject very interesting. The way you describe it totally makes sense. Hmmmmh. But as you mentioned, different schools, different coaches. There isn't only one right way. Many thanks for elaborating.

I'm afraid you could be right. I hope i didn't spoil it. I was told to put on a little bit of booster to settle that reverse dome. So i did. But the Rubber hardly reacted, and then there were these little blobs of glue on the edges, as you can see in the first pic. I tried to peel off one of...

This is interesting. Me and probably many others learned this also, but speaking to coaches lately it seems this is changing. Some coaches nowadays also recommend a bit faster setups with thicker sponges. One of the reasons given was mainly that the kids are tought this way earlier about spin...

Thanks for sharing, Steven. No big surprises at the top of the mens i would say. Even less on the ladies side, except Yang Haeun. Or did i miss something?

You should ask carl. Do you have to be afraid? Not if you don't play with equipment that's actually meant to be used by National Teams. ;)

Hey Rayeez, beautiful vid. I think getting people's attention for this is a first step though.

Hahaha, this is really good. :D Actually the whole post is really top notch, but that little sentence is standing out. Made my day. :)

Hey Ripper, does this answer your question? ;) I've never seen such an enormous amount of glue on a rubber. :) Well anyway, now it looks like this, so i still gotta be patient, before i can glue it on my Backup Blade... BTW: sorry for hijacking your thread, TT-Hopeful. I somehow got...

Wow. That first vid is really cool. That kinda explains where you're backhand's coming from. Your partner seems to be pretty good, too. Good stuff

Hey Keenan, sounds amazing. I really feel glad for you. If i was like 25 years younger i would love to join you guys. Must be awesome. How many practice partners you have there? I believe you met a lot of good players and veterans already. How is it playing in your league? Is it your first...

Thanks for elaborating. I didn't know this, but think i'll try this by askin' a pro about this. Thanks again.
