  1. Difference in Loki Pro Rubbers

    I see. Well, R9 is good. It's comparable to H3, you don't even need to boost it because it's powerful already even without boosting.
  2. Difference in Loki Pro Rubbers

    Just stick to Vega Pro H. It's not bad of a rubber and you don't have to bother with the whole boosting hassle.
  3. “Sealing effects performance”…. Is there any proof?

    Man, your blade is gorgeous. I'd like to get one.

    Another 10kg and you'll officially become a basement player, sir. It's no longer power from the legs but power from body fat.
  5. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    All this talk about rating takes me back to the good old day when I was at the height of my game, circa 2017-2018. I was good enough to be picked as one of the province's representatives to play in National Games. Back then I was using H301, Provincial H3 Orange Sponge boosted with 2 layers of...
  6. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    I hit hard enough to blast the ball even with only unboosted B2/ H3 on an all wood, all round, 5 ply blade. It doesn't change the fact that Boosted H3 provincial is just better than unboosted one. What's the point on getting an H3 BS unboosted? Boosted H3 BS is better than almost any rubbers I...
  7. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    Never talked about the tack here, I was talking about the sponge. You said you just need to boost H3. Unfortunately, a boosted H3 only lasts for a month, and you need to re-boost it. The feeling of the rubber after re-boosting it is just not the same anymore. I'm not a professional, but I sure...
  8. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    The rubber is stretched indeed but it's not like the "tension" from the booster is still there. The way you phrase it as if it's enough to just stretch the rubber to get the tension. Boosting is indeed expanding and stretching the sponge, but the chemicals are the one that actually give the...
  9. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    G09C is better than Hurricane 3 provincial when it comes to cost performance. It degrades slower than a boosted H3. I can get a month out of my boosted H3 BS and the next boosting just doesn't feel the same anymore. G09C tho seems to retain its spin and quality better than H3. It's better in the...
  10. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Sir, you have used R9 before and now you are using B3. Do you think B3 is similar to R9 or is it better?
  11. Post your latest EJ purchase

    I've always wanted T560. It looks gorgeous. She's a beauty. I'm eagerly waiting for your review.
  12. Why do Zhang Jikes Movements Look so clean?

    Forehand topspin and no problem so far. Feels great and awesome. I don't notice the difference in spin back then and today. As a matter of fact, people are still using H3 and Tenergy with plastic ball. Even though those two rubbers are meant for celluloid. Barracuda, Vega Pro and older gen ESN...
  13. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    Because Barracuda and Acuda offer the same as ESN's newest offerings. Anyway, Butterfly is the Apple of TT world. Everyone will use their product at the end of the day much like everyone will use iPhone because it's just that good.
  14. Why do Zhang Jikes Movements Look so clean?

    Exactly by how difficult is it to put more force on plastic ball? Because if that is the case then Ma Long should have retired along with ZJK. H3 and Tenergy were meant for celluloid ball but those two reign supreme even till this day. The ball change is so insignificant you might as well say...
  15. Choice between T05fx, rozena and T19

    Spin sensitive rubber is good for spin generation and his style is exactly that. It's a bouncy rubber, sure it is but so what? It means he just needs to work on his touch. Getting another Tenergy rubber won't fix that. Even getting Dignics or Chinese rubbers won't fix his touch game just because...
  16. Choice between T05fx, rozena and T19

    Nothing is wrong with your equipment. It's more than good enough for your playstyle so fat. 05FX is great for everything, it's not losing out to any rubbers. Heck, it's more forgiving. No need to change here. Sameg goes for Rozena. It has enough spin, ZYl used to use this and she was world #1...
  17. Why do Zhang Jikes Movements Look so clean?

    I wonder if that slight increase in weight really matters or not to pros. Nothing really changes with the ball changes. Ma Long was still dominating back then minus the final. Zhang Jike was still destroying people left and right when it mattered. Fan has always bee like this. Europeans are...
  18. Seeking Advice on Equipment Upgrade

    729 Super FX Blue Sponge is your answer for FH. Moon Pro Hard for your BH. I think these two rubbers are good enough.
  19. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    Speaking of experience with chinese cheap rubbers, mine has always been very good. I've gotten my hands on several of them: 1. H3. The only H3 I didn't try is the 37 version. 2. Volant Phoenix. It was a really good experience. It's a bit weaker than H3 but not much different really. 3. Qiji...
  20. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Just a little update on R9. Yesterday I took it off and peeled off the glue on the sponge. After that, I re-glued the rubber and had some session with it. The rubber's property changed. It's softer and I can feel the ball dig deeply to the sponge. It's getting faster but then I notice slight...
