I see vanilla Glayzer being recommended but I think for OP's backhand as they describe it, Glayzer 09C might be a better fit, it is firmer and less springy than Glayzer or Rozena with a slightly sticky topsheet which IMO gives it the upper hand over said rubbers when it comes to pushing

I noticed that when I was looking at different stores, but I was able to score a 500ml bottle off of eBay. It wasn't cheap at $50 when I can get around the same amount of glue paying less than $20 when I get tearmender, but its cheaper than paying 20-30 for 100ml of Finezip.

I recently decided to pull the trigger and get some DHS #15 to see if it would actually make a difference. I normally use tearmender because it is cheap and easy to peel, but all the rubbers I glued with #15 feel much better now (3 layers on rubber, 1-2 on blade), I tried Glayzer, Golden Tango...

I found this thread: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/ma-longs-equipment-pictures-2005-2015.10872/ Outside of ML, Ma Lin, Wang Hao and Xu Xin I can't remember of any other CNT player using Skyline. Everyone is using H3 nowadays tho

I think normal Baracuda is worth a try. Keeping some characteristics as the Bigslam but witha firmer sponge, that is not as hard as G1 or H3

What do you find lacking in Baracuda bigslam?

I definitely feel like the pace of the rallies and the rate at which the ball drops sometimes feels off, but if not an altered video speed it might have something to do with the low framerate of the footage

Ma long used TG3 for at least a couple years if my memory is correct, although its mostly just Ma Lin, Xu Xin and Wang Hao using the Skylines

I think it'd be worth a try, Hinoki/carbon seems to be a pairing that works pretty well for GT at least with Primo Carbon and Ignito, and Sardius is essentially just a roided out Primorac Carbon

Mercury 2 boosted is a great backhand rubber. Plain I think it is okay, but even with a bit of mineral oil it becomes juicier and more reactive while maintaining its stable, linear nature.

For a company that mainly gained rep by trying to make alternatives for Butterfly stuff, I don't think its too far out of character for them to also follow Butterfly's business model of releasing the same or very similar construction blades with a different coat of paint

Reminds me of a custom blade used by Kong Linghui: KLHS (hinoki/alc) on bh and P500 (koto/spruce) on fh. I think it'd be worth it to try a custom blade made with limba/limba/alc fh and koto/alc/ayous bh. I'm sure SDC has made at least a few given his popularity

As does post #5, to which you responded in #8 as if it were in response to #3, when it is reasonably deducible that it was made in response to #1 from OP

Are you aware of the existence and content of post #1?

Where is this question?

Kevlar is a brand name for an aramid fiber, like Tensor, or Kleenex for facial tissue, Cambro for food storage containers, etc

Gozo mode activated: My goal with this setup is to hit the ball like a freight train, landing the ball on the table will simply be an added bonus.

I hear some people recommending you sand the blade surface lightly to remove glue residue post rubber removal, but the same thing can be achieved without an abrading process like sanding- keep scraps of rubber, or old rubbers, or just rub it with your hand if the surface is smooth enough. You...

I have contacted him before in regards to my experiences, he has been more than helpful in correcting my orders and very friendly to deal with to boot. I'm sure it is of no fault of his own that I received the service I did, and if it were it was most likely due to situations much out of the way...

Kou maybe but I don't think Ma would beat him
