Depends on your playing style and the level you would like to reach. For example a long pip blocker (close to table) even at high level will unlikely have any injuries. In contrast, a FH-oriented power looper even at lower level, can often suffer from knee and back injuries.

It's among the most spinny rubbers. Assuming all factors identical, its spin is on par (if not more) than Butterfly D09C.

You are opening the pandora box. I've used almost all versions of H3, TG2 and TG3. I am also boosting. When someone ask if H3 is as spinny as advertised, it just depends on too many factors: Are you talking about medium impact or high impact? Your technique Sponge degree Boosted vs non-boosted...

Phenomenal performance from both Lind and Chuang (42yo). Probably one of the best qualification matches

Yes they aren't 100% precise. The commercial one might be 80% precise, national might be 96% and the celebrity-level rubbers are probably 99% precise. But I can't even tell the slight difference between the provincial and national rubbers 😆

You probably used the new H3. All new H3 including the special ones used by Ma Long are close to non tacky

Good learning curve anyway. Last round of qualification - so time for the big guns to play

Somehow they can tailor make rubbers. For some time Ma Long was playing with H3 41.5 degree. The 0.5 degree is not available in any H3 versions. They must have a QC process to measure the final density and weight of the rubber given that they know the cut dimension.

Yuan Lichen is out 1-3. A bit surprised by that given how well he performed in the mens double.

My friend and I both use boosted provincial H3, about 6 hours a week. He changed his H3 once a year but I reckon his sheet should be changed every 6 months. Humid condition affects H3 more than non tacky rubber such as D05. The ball tends to skid on H3. It's really annoying.

On Bilibili I think they charged 180 RMB/hr which is about 20USD. It's a lot of money for the locals except the wealthy. People commented on Bilibili said most tt clubs charged about 60-100 RMB/hr in China.

FZD looking refreshed. I hope he’s not going to play in a half asleep state. So great to see Boll back on the stage 👍

No you don’t. Just peel off the rubber, apply a layer. But due to the old glue on the sponge, it might take some time to curl.

Yes agree. Just look at FZD, a typical representative of the younger Chinese generation. His stroke is very short and punchy, allowing for swift FH-BH switch.

It’s a personal preference, not a linear correlation (i.e. 41 isn’t better than 40 for everyone). I play chop, loop and lots of service variations that’s why I prefer 41d. And yes 2 layers of Seamoon is very safe on a 40d. But I would caution you on 41d. I would try 3 very thin layers. The...

It’s strange. My 18-month old D09C loops well on my BH, on par with H3 in terms of grippiness. Having said that I only play once or twice a week. Each session 3 hours.

H8-80 is on my blacklist. When new it plays great. But it’s extremely heavy for its hardness and the topsheet get oxidised in the matter of weeks. Non tacky after all.

If you haven’t played H3 that long, save your money, you won’t be able to tell the difference between prov and nat versions. The H3 with a red 3 on the package is the new one. The new one is almost non tacky. See if you prefer a tacky or non-tacky H3.

I would try 40d first. 41d is really hard but short game and chopping is easier.
