  1. Does rubber cleaners actually damage and shorten the life of rubbers??

    I know, but you squirt it and it comes out as a mist so it doesn’t stay, just long enough for a few rubs with a sponge , that’s the trick… Cheers L-zr
  2. Help with boosting DHS rubbers

    Yes it does, the effect doesn’t last very long but it changed gradually when you play. Since it is an oil it didn’t evaporate quickly, it is mostly mechanical wear. Since it changed gradually you will get used to it. Also it needs to be broken in so it peaks around 2-3 sessions. Cheers L-zr

    Källberg is the best Swede right now so to me it was expected. He has been in the zone for a short time now, if he can stay there the Chinese are in for a treat… Cheers L-zr
  4. Does rubber cleaners actually damage and shorten the life of rubbers??

    That’s an opportunity, players will always need to clean their equipment and the manufacturer takes the opportunity to create the tool for it. Cheers L-zr
  5. Setup for limited mobility player?

    Since pips are less sensitive to spin and an older person lacks in mobility pips may be a good idea. And they normally lighter. Some medium or long pips with a little sponge up to 1 mm is an option… Cheers L-zr
  6. Help with boosting DHS rubbers

    There is a brush that cones in the bottle, make sure you let it drip off or you will get too much oil. Then just brush it on evenly (pretty thin layer). Then wait for the sponge to curl. If it doesn’t put another layer on in a few hours. Then wait for it to uncurl again. 1-3 layers is fine. I...

  8. Carbon inner blades advice

    Donic Appelgren WC 89 or Nittaku SC-Z. Excellent slow(ish) outer blades with good feel. Spruce outer so they are a little sensitive for splintering, need to remove rubbers carefully. Cheers L-zr

  10. Does rubber cleaners actually damage and shorten the life of rubbers??

    No problem at all, the liquid reduces the friction. You provably wear your rubbers more with just your breath as a lubricant. Just clean your rubbers properly after each session and you will see… Cheers L-zr
  11. 1 ply Hinoki alternatives or substitute

    You can’t duplicate the feel of a 1 ply with several plies. You can get the ball hold though. Look for a topsheet with thick layer of hinoki (or spruce also works). All limba top layers I’ve seen are on the thin side but maybe a thicker limba layer would do it too… So if it’s the feel your after...
  12. Does rubber cleaners actually damage and shorten the life of rubbers??

    You think anybody brings their racket to a chemistry lab to clean it. The cleaners are made for the purpose, they contain no chemicals that will cause any detrimental effects at all. But it’s all up to you, I find the cleaners very practical so I’m gonna continue to use them… Tou can keep...
  13. Does rubber cleaners actually damage and shorten the life of rubbers??

    🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t say I was, but a sponge drenched in water is a lot more than a squirt from a cleaning bottle… I’ve seen people doing it under a running tap…. Cheers L-zr
  14. Is this explanation about looping against different types of spins correct?

    When lifting backspin your motion starts lower and goes upwards. For a ball with topspin your motion goes more forward so yes there is a difference. Also remember that when lifting a backspin ball the speed of the racket must be at lest the same speed as the ball rotates. If it’s lower your...

    I don’t see the similarity, with a grown player you should exploit all weaknesses you find. Cheers L-zr

  17. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    I don’t see a problem with height and from my point view the doesn’t start until she moved the hand all the way to the right. Then the toss has angle yes but not worse than others… Cheers L-zr
  18. Does rubber cleaners actually damage and shorten the life of rubbers??

    It’s an urban myth. No it does not. It’s probably safer than water because when using water you usually use more and if liquid penetrates your blade the edges may swell and the glue resolve… Cheers L-zr
  19. Dhs rubber durablilty + tack.

    Absolutely, unless you racket lies outside on a table… Put it in a case (rubbers between protective sheets) and store it in a drawer. Rubbers breaks down from sunlight and oxidation. Stored properly this is a very slow process… Then it takes Years… Cheers L-zr
