  1. High throw vs low throw rubber (high / low arc) thoughts

    You are right, it was redundant for me to say that. My question is, mathematically speaking, is it possible to vary your stroke such that the contact forces produced by two different types of rubbers (lets say 05 vs 64) are identitical? My reasoning is (and correct me if im wrong) is no...
  2. High throw vs low throw rubber (high / low arc) thoughts

    I get that, but what I'm wondering, if we manage to create the same arc with both 05 and 64, will the spins be the same? Given the fact the tangential velocity to normal velocity ratio is different with both rubbers, is it possible to produce identical shots (same arc, same placement and same spin)?
  3. High throw vs low throw rubber (high / low arc) thoughts

    Okay, so the velocity vector for a given trajectory is comprised of the tangential velocity component and the normal velocity component. The ratio of these two components determine the "throw" of the rubber: high throw rubbers equate to higher tangential velocity vs. normal velocity, and low...
  4. Indoor or outdoor lamp oil? Also Copydex alright?

    Hit the nail right on the head...because money. Boosting isnt unsafe (most boosters are voc free), and boosting gives sponsored players an unfair advantage by creating a glass ceiling. (They can get equipment to their specifications, and we are stuck with bottom tier eauilment WITHOUT any...
  5. Indoor or outdoor lamp oil? Also Copydex alright?

    I've never boosted before but I've been curious (after watching Dan's howto vid) for quite a while now on the effect/feel boosting has on rubbers. by the way, pros circumvent the boosting rule by have the factory boost to their exact specifications. Heck, we get boosted rubbers whenever we...
  6. Indoor or outdoor lamp oil? Also Copydex alright?

    When using oil vs boosters, do u still add a layer of glue first or boost first? I inderstand with boosters u add a layer of glue first to keep too much booster from soaking/ruining topsheet?

    Hey man. Im debating getting either h3 neo /yinhe jupiter for my forehand/backhand or the big dippers medium fh/soft bh. Any suggestions? Im a two winged penhold looper/attacker (rpb) so i prefer tacky rubbers on both side.
  9. Rallies

    You are right, the game has slowed down quite a bit. Compared to some of the classics, i feel like im seeing fewer crossover footwork and flinch shots in action? Also, is it my imagination or do there appear to be more unforced errors mid rallies and paddle staring?
  10. Rallies

    Is it just me or does there appear to be a significant drop in the quality/quantity of high speed rallies? I understand the growing pains and the acclamation process will take time (the new poly balls are extremely lacking in quality and most of the equipment was geared towards the celluloid...

    I played a cho-er, and everytime he cho-ed, it motivated me for some reason. It reminded me to try harder
  13. Wood aging process

    Well, its baking, not packing... and the purpose of baking is to dehydrate?
  14. Wood aging process

    I've definitely noticed a loss of control/weighty feeling when i leave my blade in its case at my work gym locker overnight (a lot of moisture as they are located right next to the showers) vs leaving it in my car parked out under the 90+ degrees texas sun (which incidentally, will warp the...

    Yinhe's vaccum baked blades? Has anyone tried these
  16. Breaking News: ZJK boycotts China Super League!

    Dont blame them to be honest, the dude is incredibily unprofessional. Perhaps the delayed negotiations were due less to his performance and more to ensure barrier safety. It should be those barriers that should be unionizing. EDIT: i should clarify im kidding.
  17. Hurricane 3-50

    From what im reading online, it sucks without boosting. I imagine xx and ml most def are using boosted cersions on their backhand. Without it, h3 neo is much better (or so the reviews say)
  18. Hurricane 3-50

    Im curious myself. I hope someone chimes in with feedback. If not, u should get it and let us know! :P

    Dude, rubber isnt going to help. You are better off hunting/studying youtube vids on how to return serves.
