  1. What will happen to boosting?

    Oh, the horrible memories. Back in mid-2008, booster was already widely practiced as an alternative to gluing. Adham Sharara's first attempt to outlaw the practice was to define booster as an "additive" after rubber approval. They claimed the early-day boosters contained harmful VOCs and came...
  2. Official Durability Comparison of D05 and T05

    Will this help? BTW, pix from another shop owner.
  3. What will happen to boosting?

    Nothing. They're addressing boostering. There's no boostering in table tennis. There's only boosting! There's no after treatment in table tennis. There's only post-factory treatment. Whoever wrote this article should be fired. Whatever. Factory tuning is just fine. This superficial test...
  4. Confusion in the last point | Final Austrian Bundesliga 2018/2019

    Umpire's reaction is priceless... I think he felt threatened and decided it's in his best interest(to leave the place in 1 piece) to overturn his own decision.
  5. Education of Ma Long

    That map wasn't posted to address how ML sneaked into the prestigious university. It points out how many Western countries have average IQs that do not line up with the typical level of education. Why is that? Anyone who has attended college/university would know that there's this thing...

  7. Official Durability Comparison of D05 and T05

    These were put through mechanical testing by shooting balls at it repeatedly.
  8. New Butterfly rubber "Dignics 05" 2019

    All righty. I didn't want to answer that because it's a pain to type it out so I'll keep it short. Bryce was a breakthrough in topsheet, whereas Tenergy was a breakthrough in sponge. Due to the glue ban, the impact of Tenergy was far more widespread than that of Bryce. After years of...

    but he is right. they keep bring up Butterfly anything and make it out to be a bad thing. but say you replace the word Butterfly with ESN and it's all good. so ESN loyalist are good but Butterfly ones are bad

  11. New Butterfly rubber "Dignics 05" 2019

    Hardly innovating here. D05 is mostly tinkering of the sponge that in itself an extension on T05. Nothing revolutionary like T05 back in 2008.
  12. New Butterfly rubber "Dignics 05" 2019

    Nah, blade technologies have remained largely the same for the past 2 decades, by comparing the production process from early 2000 to 2018. Rubber technologies haven't seen much improvement for the past decade, either. Even Butterfly admits they've approached the limits in terms of pips...
  13. FS/FT: Viscaria Golden FL 95g

    Not the handle or wings, but the edge of the blade head has definitely been sanded after rubber assembly.
  14. FS/FT: Viscaria Golden FL 95g

    The OP is only putting up the Viscaria for sale or for trade. But US$350 used and sanded.
  15. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    The 3 T2 Diamond events are crucial to Ito here. The 3rd round finish at WTTC 2019 is a big blow to her, seeing she doesn't have the buffer of World Cup. To make up for that, she'll need to attend all 3 events, which would earn her a minimum of 1200 pts(R16 = 400 pts). Suppose Ishikawa and...
