Wow, it is both an art and a science! I have a couple sheets of friendship long pips and DHS long pips I want to play with. I will have reference this post later. and probably watch some YouTube videos.

Do you have a budget? Maybe you want to try one of the hybrid rubbers. Perhaps you only want to get one sheet so then you can compared the new sheet to the other side of Rakza 7. By the way, the combination I have settled on is Gambler Blackout carbon with H3 neo on the forehand and Rakza 7...

Thanks for the feedback. When I start paying up for provincial blue sponge, I will start doing that! But I still trust TT11 though. Another thread also talks about which good shops are on Aliexpress. So I will have to compare prices when time comes.

Don't do it! Don't get the EJ virus! On the other hand, how do you like Rakza 7 2.0mm sponge? is there something you don't like about it that you want to explore other rubber? :) :)

Lol, Chen Jing was like, what? Coming to the US, I have to become a stripper? She then cancelled her plan after that. :)

I am still waiting for my Hurricane Skyline 3 neo from Aliexpress. Two black sheets. I hope they are very very tacky!

Yeah play with it for a while. If you still have trouble, maybe you need to upgrade your forehand rubber. But MX-S is pretty fast. Faster than that, you are probably looking at Tenergy 05/80 or Tenergy 05 Hard or Dignics 05.

Maybe you just need to practice a bit more. I know that standing parallel is the more modern way with 40+ plastic ball. I, personally, just am too lazy to change my habit, for now. Until it impedes my progress, I tend to resist changes.

Didn't someone say you can type in the code on DHS website to verify it is authentic? But is the code on the packaging or on the sponge? Either way, I have only bought commerical H3 neo so it is dirt cheap. I have not felt the need to go to DHS website to find out if they are "authentic." In...

That is so sad because Dan just did a YouTube video with Schlager and he had some pretty good points for Dan. We all know Schlager does not play like Ma Long. But who cares? He is a real world championship champion! And at the club I am playing at, many players are older and they started...

I was taught old school Chinese way. Left foot always forward and right foot always toward the back. That way forehand you have a lot of room. Backhand, well, you just twist a bit and use your waist and wrist. And that's good enough. However, I think the new way is to be parallel. Like you...

I am not comparing Tenergy 05fx with Glayser. If he wants to progress through various Butterfly rubbers on his backhand, I think Glayser should be tried before T05fx. Then finally maybe Tenergy 05/Tenergy 05 hard/Dignics 05

I am applying a third layer of Haifu National Yellow to the new H3 neo sheet. After that I am done. Three layers are either good enough or I would have to mechanically break the new sheet in anyway. I forgot what the glue I used. There were so many layers I put on that old H3 neo sheet. Finally...

You mean too hard and too fast for someone who has played one year to control?

Yes I still get my commercial ones from TT11. According to TT11's YouTube review, blue sponge seems to be better so I will get a blue sponge one of the days coming up. Recently I tried Yinhe Big Dipper 40 degree and I did not like it at all. Hard. Feels like a brick. Not springy at all. I mean...

Yes the old one looks good. The new one. I am just dreading having to break that one in. But I am running out of the old H3 neo so it is time for me to open the package and start boosting the new one. Like I said, I have been boosting these old H3 neo and I love the way these old H3 neo plays...

Schlager does have funny looking strokes. But to tell a world champion like Schlager how to do a stroke, what audacity! I think people don't realize everyone plays a bit differently. It is like in tennis, people love how Federer plays but most people cannot play like Federer. Diversity is fine...

This is kind of easy. Kind of difficult. Yes I agree two-wing looper is an overused, generalized style. I am forehand dominant (because I used to play penhold). My forehand loop is very good, but more on the spinny side than fast side (after all, I used hurricane on my forehand side; I don't...

Ok, please see the above the photo. Both rubbers got treated with two layers of Haifu National Yellow. The one the curved up in a ridiculous way is an old old H3 neo rubber. The one that curved up barely is a new sheet. I really think the glue that comes with each sheet of new H3 neo interferes...

Honestly I have given up on trying Double Fish, Sanwei and Friendship products. I have gone back to H3 neo 39 degree and I am sticking with it. I have not experienced any tensor Chinese rubber. Boosted H3 neo is the closest thing. I think TT11 just started carrying Volant Phoenix. I am not...
