I tried Falco Tempo Long once and only one thin layer. Other better boosters might exist though but for me, Falo makes Baracuda slightly harder as well as curlier so that helps with looping harder.

A slight difference, yes. It makes it more playable at higher level but still not as fast as Tenergy. The grip is fantastic and I think the plastic ball has actually helped.

So what exercises did you perform with the TBS to confirm that you could control it? Loop with it? Did you block with it? Push with it? Flick with it? Blades can be controlled and people can improve with any blade. It is the rate and level of improvement that is open to questions. I see so...

45 days is the dispute horizon for PayPal. That's the problem - credit card is usually more flexible. But PayPal has a quick process that puts sellers on a sharp alert so many vendors try to avoid running up against the PayPal limit - I don't know if credit cards work that way.

Then you filed a dispute with PayPal? That usually forces vendors into action.

And I presume you didn't use Paypal...

Wang Nan, Zhang Yining.

I can generate more spin with Baracuda than with Rasant Grip. It depends on the player. Tenergy 05 is still king for me amongst regular rubbers.

They are the same thing to most people. Some people would use the term "loop" to apply only to heavy topspin strokes, and some people say "loop" vs "loop drive", the former being spin, the latter being spin and speed, but in the end, topspin is the same as loop.

Intentional double bounce shots are illegal...

I'm not a fan of hard contact woods for the outer ply of my blades but if you like walnut then go with it. Usually, my first recommendation to most people is to use something they have tried before, though they need to do it while knowing that slower is better than faster and wood is better...

Nah, Solja started playing better as well. There was a comment Fukuhara made that let me know that Solja is going to be in the top 10 very soon. Fukuhara said that there was too much spin on the ball and she was unable to control it.

Hmmm... a picture of my new weapons is probably overdue...

They are training balls - they have issues - but for their price, they have quality - I have actually played matches with them by accident sometimes and not felt lost. They do crack like the real DFish/Kinson 3* balls and are not durable, but they are not worse than the 3* DFish or Kinson balls...

In general, the harder you swing consistently, the harder the rubber you should use. Even beginners tend to swing fairly hard so it is relative. So I would say never go below medium on both sides and medium hard is preferable on the forehand. As you get better, if you improve your backhand...

To be fair, I don't always use the same rubber on both sides - the hardest rubber I have used on both sides since breaking 1500 is Big Dipper 38 degrees - I have used Tenergy 05 on both sides but that is not special or unique per se in modern TT though I know many people who go softer. I...

IF you are a national team level player, it is a good rubber. If not, you are wasting your money - develop your skills.

I've done this a lot recently with my old and dead rubbers... I am sure it should work for any rubber though...

Since my post seems to have been ignored, and it is quite possible I am the longest tenured plastic ball user here, let me try again.

I actually don't seal and have never sealed my blades. Maybe they come factory sealed or something. Maybe they are destined to go bad in two years. But I still love and live and die by Varioclean. I find it way, way, way less harsh than the stuff I see other people promoting like Free Chack...
