I have tried the H8 37 commercial, without a booster and with 3 layers of Falco Long. For me, it's by far the worst rubber I have tried so far on the backhand. It only unlocks speed/spin when you make a thin contact and stand at a perfect place. Which is exactly the opposite of what I want from...

FH: 1. Ma Long - hands down the best. I wanted to review his godly HF status, watched the latest China Grand Smash final against LSD and.... Jesus Christ, almost every full-swing forehand attack by ML finished the point, LSD just couldn't return or start rallying. 2. Wang Chuqin - IMO, he is...

For 39 and 40 versions, yes. The trajectory isn't as low as, lets say B2 Gold, but below average for sure. The 38 version is an anomaly across the whole series, it is much bouncier and has a higher trajectory than the rest of the J3 series. It also depends on which booster you're using. For me...

Well, the injury is fairly tame and only requires a knee bandage. It's about a four-to-five division level league, the whole game is about stable spin 2-3 steps away from the table, just spinning and praying the opponent fails xD From my experience, boosted 37-38 Hurricanes require about...

As a 6.2 player with an injured right knee myself, I just opted to play with softer Hurricanes (or Jupiters) on a blade with outer carbon. It shortens the required strokes to produce decent speed/spin, makes it much easier to play. Personally, I have also considered trying NUZN 55 thanks to its...

Dunno what you people dislike about new Hurricanes being a tad softer. For me, only the CNT members can successfully capitalize on harder H3 sponges. For us, mortals, less tackiness and more springiness is an improvement, as we don't have to engage the whole body for effective topspins. Hell...

So being a rude asshole to strangers is an upside, lol? That's a weird trait to be proud of. It isn't hypocritical to be polite to people, in my opinion. Personally, I don't discuss other peoples' flaws simply because it isn't my business, and I do not want to discuss them behind their backs as...

Bene <3

Received my: - Jupiter 3 Tour (black, blue sponge, 40d, 2.1mm) - turned out to be too hard, challenging to play. - H3N (black, provincial orange sponge, 38d, 2.1mm) - turned out to be a blast, incredible spin and easy to play. On the way: - H8 (red, orange sponge, 37d, 2.15mm) - hopefully it...

As someone said above, you should re-boost after you feel the arc becomes lower and the ball lands right under the net or into it. For me, the terms are the following: - Falco Long - 2-3 months or forever. - Haifu National - 2-4 weeks. - Kailin - 7-10 days.

It depends on how far the unboosted rubber is from your comfort zone. For me, the unboosted version was great, but I kept hitting the top of the net for about 50% of my shots far away from the table. Just tried the boosted H3N 38 with 1 layer of Falco Long, feels superb. The rubber lost a bit...

Received my H3N 38 (black, OS, provincial, 2.1mm) for forehand and... sadly, it still requires boosting--out of the box it feels fantastic but playing far from the table is extremely challenging. I think 1 layer of Falco Long will be enough. Hopefully.

Well, Tom's match against Ovtcharov was a more one-sided defeat tho.

Congrats to the illegal hidden shovel serve <3

Did you boost it after unpacking? If not, could it be that the factory booster just faded away? I mean, I would surely boost the 41 sponge. In fact, I try to avoid anything beyond 39 degrees, and even 39 degrees means I need to apply at least 2 layers of Falco.

What a comeback by Walther, a true legend <3 As someone of a similar physical shape but taller, I admire how he manages to move his body effectively during rallies. My boi has so much game read and feeling, love it. Normally, I can only enjoy his games in TTBL, but seeing him win...

Omg, that was a one-sided demolition! WCQ had some losses recently, but they were all equal fights, where he looked vulnerable but dangerous and strong. Today he just got BATTERED by Anton, totally outplayed in every zone.

I mean, seriously, why are not umpires calling out LSD's shovel? He has won over 10 points with that illegal crap, it's just disgusting. The ball is fully covered by the body, it's impossible to see the spin. And I am pretty sure LSD does this on a regular basis.

Could be a bad sample/batch. Where did you buy it? I can't recall a single H3 sheet that lost its grip. Some lose tackiness over time, but the grip is always there.

In my opinion, boosting adds: 1) Speed, even some resemblance of flat hitting, although it's still bad. 2) Not spin but ease of creating spin. You need a lesser stroke to produce spin, but the max spin is probably even less due to the ball travelling faster. 3) Better block. But it's not the...
