Has anyone noticed that Liang Jingkun is using a red H3 as FH, and a black rubber (blue sponge) as BH?

Ops what a bad luck.

Sadly Xue Fei plays Liang Jingkun in the early round. His chance of winning is slim.

Ok, interesting. At least I have learned something here. However, if I didn’t dry my rubber and ball after every point I could’ve lost. The ball didn’t seem soaking wet, not wet enough to affect flat hitting, but severely affected looping.

I don’t know if it is a norm or not as I never experienced so much sweat on the ball. I checked the ball and my rubber, wiped the ball and rubber, wiped my hands before serving. I did this before every serve. If I am your opponent do you respect that in your country? Sent from my iPhone...

I played a tournament yesterday. I am a spin-oriented player. I open up mostly by FH loop. Earlier on the day things went as expected. The stadium was packed, people sweat more and more later in the day. I was playing a guy who served either no spin or side spin from his BH. I lost quite a few...

I have played boosted H3 and TG2 for a long time. I have always been looking for a ESN replacement that is more lively, easier to generate equal amount of spin. The only one I am happy with is R53. A highly underestimated rubber. Service: equal spin compared to boosted H3, service might go...

Interesting. Hurricane is great at receiving service. The dense sponge and sticky topsheet keep the return low and short. Is there any particular service that you struggle with? I know Hurricane 3 could struggle with ambush-type of long side spin.

Buy Andro, especially R53. They respond very well to booster just like H3. You can literally expand it after a period of time. Loving my R53 right now.

Hi Michael I have used provincial H3 and TG2 for a long time. As ages catches on me I have been looking for an alternative that is easier on my back. I have tried a number of rubbers including K1, K1 plus, Golden tango and R53. I like K1 and K1 plus but their spin is inferior to H3. Golden...

I am a penholder. What's your play style? What's your blade? If you have the cash, go for D64. Max if you have good technique, 1.9 if you need control.

Very creative setup!

You can't go wrong with Viscaria. If you have the cash go for D05 on FH and D64 on BH. D64 will help you with service return as it is not that sensitive to incoming spin. If you are on a medium budget - Xiom Vega Pro on FH and Vega Euro on BH.

It can easily take meals off table

Yes other ESN rubbers are slowly increasing in price. But still quite significantly cheaper. For example, the German R53 probably has the a feel closest to Tenergy's Spring Sponge X in the market. R53 has a equal, if no more spin than T05. Way better short game and service. Price - R53 $53...

BTY has 3 bands - Rozena, Tenergy and Dignics priced at $39, $79 and $93 respectively. What a nice trick to make people think Tenergy is no longer expensive.

My level is probably not that high. So far only 1 H3 bubbled. I have been using H3 for at least 11 years.

Not many H3 boosted bubble. Blue sponge has higher tendency to bubble. A piece of orange sponge H3 provincial costs $30 USD and can last at least 6 months. And its top spin and speed are equivalent to any Dignics rubber. Of course boosting can be a hassle to some. But H3 is still a great choice...

I love celero wood don't get me wrong. It has pretty good flex and the support for TG2 is ok. I am just wondering, which Azalea can give a stronger kick than celero? Azalea OFF or Azalea ALL?

Hi I have read up on Azalea all-round and off. Can anyone compare Azalea All with Azalea off, celero wood and intensity NCT? I use Neo TG2 on FH and T64 on BH. I am looking at the following aspects: How crisp is the feeling How hollow is the feeling How much flex they create on medium and...
