  3. TT Myth Busters

    Here, we get back to Pnatchwey's favorite ploy. He is disputing the language, rather than the effect of the change made by manufacturers. 1) Pnatchwey agrees that when you stretch the sponge and keep the topsheet stuck to it that this curled up effect produces tension in the topsheet. 2)...

  5. Valiant Pro ALC Loop King

    5 out of 5 rating for Valiant Pro ALC Loop King I got my first Double Day Valiant ALC Loop King Pro St from a friend who wanted to distribute the blade in the US and wanted me to review it. He said that DoubleDay was once a Butterfly OEM but is no longer one. I usually dislike ALC blades and...

  7. Boosting tenergy

    I tried it when I was 1800 or so and it played differently enough from anything else that I had ever used that I didn't think it was worth investing time into it. Would like to try it again given that I have improved a lot since I last used it, but I suspect that based on the comments of others...
  8. Boosting tenergy

    A player with an interesting technique for looping heavy backspin actually told me that Tenergy high tension is a marketing myth. Which makes your point interesting...
  9. How did you decide Chinese versus Tensor rubber on FH?

    I just found the idea that for your stroke Tenergy 05 arcs less than Rhyzm pretty interesting. You must drive the ball pretty hard to get that kind of effect or I am just confused in general. What you probably meant and maybe I misinterpreted you, was that the Tenergy 05 spin was much heavier...

    Ah, you are a good player. I still think you made a mistake, just not necessarily a terrible one. After all, all wood blades are cheap and abundant :p. But seriously, how players have feeling with composites if they don't play a lot is beyond me. And the learning curve is greater. I finally...
  11. How did you decide Chinese versus Tensor rubber on FH?

    The truth is that the CNT use Neos or those types, which are not as tacky. But in any case, when you want the ability to swing harder and harder and still get spin, and are able to get to the ball early, your priorities are different from someone who just wants to be able to play a good stroke...
  12. What oils can be used as boosters?

    I agree with Carl - when it comes to sponge hardness, it depends on how you swing but more importantly, your preferred contact depth for brush spin and drive spin. I don't swing consistently hard enough to get spin with hardnesses above Chinese/Japanese 38 degrees. I did use 39 degree Big...

  15. Butterfly G40+ Plastic Ball Review

    It says Oct 15 on the site tho (for 12 I dumbly ordered). Likely a mistake as everything else says Dec.
  16. How did you decide Chinese versus Tensor rubber on FH?

    IMO, the Chinese rubbers are cheap. Try them for a month and if you don't like, go back. I used Big Dipper in 38 deg for 6 months and got a lot out of it - not as hard sponged and tacky as some, but still a good tacky rubber. In the end, my blocking technique was too tuned to Euro rubbers so...
  17. Fastest rubber

    Carl, For some reason, I like to forget or overlook the details that your perceptive mind picks up. I noticed that detail and then put it in the inner recesses of my untappable subconscious until you just reminded me. It takes a high level player to use such a fast blade (think Samsonov or...

    Review by 'NextLevel' on item 'Valiant Pro ALC Loop King'

    I got my first Double Day Valiant ALC Loop King Pro St from a friend who wanted to distribute the blade in the US and wanted me to review it. He said that DoubleDay was once a Butterfly OEM but is no longer one. I usually dislike ALC blades and was hesitant to try this one. On the other...
  19. Fastest rubber

    Usually, I hear people asking for fast blades and spinny rubbers - fast rubbers is not common. So it takes someone who is confused to ask about fast rubbers or someone who knows what they really want. And yes, fast rubbers suit some games - mine is not one of them as far as I know, though I...
