Orange sponge provincial H3 costs $35USD. Boosting can easily last 3 months if you play 1-2/week. Reboost it every 3 months. One sheet can last 12 months without issue. I've played at least 7 variants of H3 over 12 years. Orange sponge provincial is the most cost effective.

Love your technique Victor. You move like Xu Xin. H3's arc is dangerously low. Short game and serve are crazy.

A thin layer of Seamoon booster weighs about 1g. No point to buy premium one. The Seamoon booster works best with Chinese rubber.

I am glad you've found the solution. Yes locking your shoulder to minimise arm movement is the way to go. It also helps speed up recovery between strokes. But in the old days when Ma Lin and RSM did the "give-it-all" FH power loop, they used their entire body and arm to attack. A pleasure to watch

Vis is harder than both FZD and LGY. Golden Vis is even harder than Vis with more crisp. See if you can try a friend's Vis before buying a Golden Vis. It's quite expensive, not easy to resell as FZD had ditched Goden Vis

I was once tempted, I am glad I didn't buy it 😉

I still own a vintage Darker Speed 90 - manufactured before the Hinoki ban in Japan. That single ply hinoki is at least 300 years old

Butterfly's sponge reacts really well to booster. When my Dignics rubbers shrink, I just boost them with 2 layers. They curl up like Hurricane and expand

I have tried Acoustic Carbon before. Too hard with little flex. Nice feel close to table though.

Is yours number 968? What year is it?

I am always wanting a number version 😁 I can only afford 2nd hand. Looking at ebay for months

Tenergy is no way "above your level". I've EJed so many rubbers - Xiom Vega series, all tenergy, D05, D64, 09C, all Hurricanes etc. T64 is one of the most user friendliest rubber. Why? T64 is not that sensitive to incoming spin, very controllable short touch, can actively generate great amount...

It's definitely down to personal preferences. In my entire club, I am the only one using 968 or any inner ALC blade. Butterfly outer ALC/ZLC is the majority

Mine is about 161mm too. I always thought the newer one is smaller. But I know for sure the newer 968 has a more crisp feel.

Concur. HL5 has a very muted feel. I dislike it.

Ovtcharov ALC is 6.2mm thick. It's about 0.2-0.4mm thicker than other ALC blades. It's a controllable yet fast blade. Its thickness = less flex = suitable to those playing close to the table. It also means it suits BH-dominant playing style.

In my EJ journey, I've played my W968 for over a year. Believe it or not, it is a miracle 😉 My W968 is the old 2016 version (large head size = more catapult effect). The FH loop is insanely powerful yet very controllable short game. It means it requires more impact than the newer W968. It suits...

Blue and black sponge

Without putting on weight, there's not much room to improve explosiveness. You must train anterior, posterior and lateral muscles at the same time. Imbalance in muscle groups can lead to injuries. Best to get a personal trainer or adopt a professional training schedule. Athlean X and...
