  1. you need this

    Hahahaha dear God yes! Especially since I play with Chinese style equipment and pen hold grip! If I were remotely good, I would enjoy so much showing up in this gear just to confuse people!
  2. Want hurricane 3 national

    I have noticed the tacky nature does not preserve even throughout the coarse of the game, unlike DHS rubbers. I find myself breathing on it and wiping it with my palm in between rallies a lot more frequently. I've never had tack disappearing from a rubber happen to me. When I does diminish (by...
  3. Fang Bo blade 2016

    Check out the boost job on the black side. It's barely attached at the edges.
  4. Want hurricane 3 national

    NL he mentioned the Yinhe Big Dipper plays very similar to the H3 national. Why not start with that? Also, if these rubbers are used by players who've trained for 10 hours a day for 20+ years, I'm inclined to think these rubbers are better suited for them (I doubt I could ever play with a 41...
  5. Momentum In Game Discussion

    Forget about conserving energy. I say go all in, every single game, every single rally. Energy reserves will expand the more you deplete them, our bodies are amazing in that sense.
  6. Croatian player loses his sh#t

    Never confuse technique and consistency. He gets frustrated because he misses shots he thinks are easy. Well guess what buddy, in basketball we have an expression "the ball don't lie". Don't think yourself to be better than you actually are. If you lose, then obviously you aren't there yet, so...
  7. Advice for my first 'real' bat

    Sorry for the delayed reply, but not necessarily. Non tacky rubbers can generate just as much spin with slightly different mechanics. The basic idea comes down to grippy rubbers versus tacky rubbers.
  8. ITTF Reaction to Timo Bolls critics of tuned rackets

    Also, it is hard to believe that Butterfly, who already isn't investing arguably millions of dollars into their R&D cannot create something comparable to a boosted DHS national rubber. Hell, if guys like us can somehow procure one no matter how rare, what is to keep Butterfly from getting one...
  9. Boosting my H3Neo with baby oil and noticed this

    Update: after the oil dried, I removed the factory glue and the ridges are gone. Will post pics later.
  10. ITTF Reaction to Timo Bolls critics of tuned rackets

    Isn't that what "ping pong" and the "World Championship of Ping Pong" is?
  11. Advice for my first 'real' bat

    Why are you looking for a tacky rubber?
  12. Advice for new rubbers

    Not to mention the Chinese rubbers the pro use are boosted from here to Timbuktu.
  13. ITTF Reaction to Timo Bolls critics of tuned rackets

    I think while they are at it they should ban carbon/composite blades as well, because hello! unfair advantage! But that isn't enough. To makes these rules make more sense, they must bey even more arbitrary and random, such as no drying hands on the table and no towels to wipe your hands,face or...
  14. Why do you boost?

    That is the good stuff... the one im using. Just to make sure, look at the ingredients in the back. It should say "mineral oil, fragrance". Most J&J and other baby oils also have eucalyptus oils as well. While I haven't tried them (nor do I intend to), I think the lesser the ingredients the...
  15. Why do you boost?

    I don't even bother with purchasing these. I stick to pure baby oil. The effect (while not as strong as lamp oil or other boosters) is definitely good enough to enhance speed, spin, feel and control, and the effects are permanent. (I have a ~2yr old H3N i play with that I boosted almost a year...
  16. Why do you boost?

    THe good thing about the DHS Neo rubbers that I have played with (TG3N and H3N), the top sheets are quite stretchy. So even if the sponge is stretched when you glue it back onto the paddle, the topsheets will not pull the sponge off the blade due to excessive curling. However, this is NOT the...
  17. Donic Bluefire Big Slam

    Very interesting. Does it say anywhere if it is for the new poly ball or not?
  18. Why do you boost?

    You won't know until you try.
  19. If Bruce Lee played table tennis...

    Actual Bruce Lee quote - "Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it" Slightly modified Bruce Lee quote - "Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look at Ma Long's...
  20. Boosting my H3Neo with baby oil and noticed this

    I suspected it may be how to sponge is reacting to the factory boost layer (plus mine, possibly uneven absorption?). Did you try the H3N? did it create any imbalance in feel when hitting the ball? Did the ball react a little more erratically, or did it have zero effect on play? If it is the...
