Hello, I am convinced that to make our sport more attractive it is indeed better to make rallies longer , this 3rd ball attack play is not really nice to see nor to play it ! This suggestion to put a marking on the ball to make sure players see the spin better is in my opinion a step in the...

i tried calibra lt sound in red 2 mm , very very fast and rather low throw angle, but not enough spin , very difficult to do a SHORT push , also not enough spin when pushing with heavy backspin, very little control , only for pure attack, indeed long ball trajectory nice sound though ! almost...

US Nationals quarter final ??? Almost no rallies at all, poor service returns, 3rd division level in Belgium i think. The US is not producing high level table tennis, because i think it is not really taken seriously. Just look at Borat's hobby , yeah , ping-pong ! I dont want to hurt feelings...

I tried a Calibra LT Sound in red 2 mm , and i think it is really fast , but not spinny enough, also i couldn't keep the ball short when pushing, big disadvantage. Only for fast topspin players and hitters imho.

I have tried a Yinhe Sun (in 2,2 mm) red , and it is rather slow and not good for spin , just average rubber , nothing special, good rubber for learners, a lot slower than ESN Tensor stuff ( like Nimbus, Genius, Revo Fire) all of which i played with and are fast and spinny. I dont know...

Almost all the professional players boost their rubbers, they even let them be filmed doing it (just do a lookup for video's of boosting chinese top players !). Also , when you play a few weeks (or even hours) , the topsheet will have changed a little bit. So in theory you would have to change...

hello everybody, tuning is not illegal ! you should only not change the characteristics of the TOPSHEET , because this topsheet has an ITTF approval or not. :cool: As an alternative to Bio Booster (as in the youtube clip) you can just use 2 to 3 layers of Parrafine (= lamp oil) on the sponge...

I think Soo Yeon is a very weak player to be a professional. In Europe she would play in the leagues where you got paid nothing at all.

Just use a Tibhar Genius Soft (meduim sponge about 40) or a Genius Sound (softer at about 36). Excellent for blocking, opening loops and over the table play, better controle than the too bouncy coppa jo platin rocket ! or a Andro Revo Fire (very good controle , is just good at everything, but...

Just use a drop of dreft or other dishwashing liquid and some water to clean, if you feel the rubber has lost his grip, use a thin layer of WD40 (Google it to see what it is) and spread it out on the rubber surface evenly, let dry for about 30 min or more (repeat 2 to 3 times if necessary), your...

Hello, Baby oil does not work well, the vegetable oil (like in the small movie) only increases the grip, not the speed. If you want to boost just like during the era of speed glue, use paraffine (lamp oil) on the sponge (1 or better 2 layers , let dry for 1 hour). The rubber will get a dome...

Hello, Just use one or two layers of lamp oil (paraffine) on the sponge and let dry for like 1 hour between each layer, your rubber will be tuned ! I tried this on an Andro Revo Fire and an Andro Impuls Speed (black 1,8) and a Tibhar Nimbus (red, 2 mm) and it works very well. The tuning effect...

Hello, Don't use baby oil because it does not work as well as lamp oil, just try out the technique i described in the first post of this thread. Phillypong

Hi all , I will give you some tricks to get a very long life for your rubbers. to restore the grip (spin) of a rubber : - clean it with some water and a drop of dishwashing liquid (like Dreft...), always use a gentle tissue to dry the water off (i use kitchen paper or toilet paper ;) ) - buy a...
