That sounds weird. I’ve used Hybrid H on multiple blades for weeks/months without any physical signs of damage. The topsheet does lose some tackiness after some time, but nothing major. I feel the rubber plays the best 2-3 sessions into usage.

I have a Hurricane 8-20 boosted, but looks nowhere near like this boosted. He did post his boosting procedure in the comments of that video, but I’m surprised his reacts so well to boosting thin layers as he says he does

Very interesting video/showcase of Taehyun Kim’s setup. Haven’t seen H8 look like this before

Just stumbled upon this video from Taehyun Kim, sponsored DHS player, showcasing closeup of his racket, even admitting in comments that it’s boosted. Probably one of the best showcases of professionally boosted Hurricane rubbers, very interesting to see

Have you boosted other sheets in the past of same hardness with film on, and feel any difference in it’s playing characteristics after this?

I understand, but this post was also never to compare real professional rubbers to rubbers available on the market, but more so changing the characteristics of the topsheet of the rubbers based on the boosting procedure. Based on stretching the topsheet to lose stickiness but gain grip and...

2.0mm or max? I think 2.0mm is way too thin for a sticky rubber that is meant to hit hard with. I’m surprised they would even offer it in such a thickness, if they want to compete with Chinese rubbers.

Depends which rubber you got. The less dense the sponge is, the more problems you will have as you mentioned, with the glue taking some chunks out. However if it's dense or harder sponge, it won't be an issue. Just make sure you peel it making sure you don't force it from upwards, but more from...

I see, both are produced in Germany, so it's unlike some of their blades, and initially I feel they play very different, will have to play more with it to know better.

Interesting, thanks for the insight. Seems odd that they have these different releases, but don't offer both thicknesses in Europe

Both seem legitimate. I believe the 2nd one is a W968 Gold Grand Slam with the extra serial on the other side. Check my comment on my own post regarding handle sizes on W968 https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/w968-different-handle-sizes.39477/post-579028

Hi, I recently got a Stiga DNA Hybrid H rubber from a source in China, I noticed that the rubber is 2.1mm, compared to 2.2mm that was directly bought from Stiga in Sweden. Is it known for there to be a difference? Packaging is also slightly different. I'm not really doubting it's authenticity...

You can't teach an old dog new tricks, the ignorant veterans strike again

Posts have been far from critical, but rather ignorant and indenial :) I already mentioned all sheets have been national and addressed quality control But I guess you didn't read those and went straight to defend the 1% commenter club, since you bring it up as well. If you want to be...

There's a very big difference of being critical and being indenial :) I don't mind people being critical, especially because there are no other post on this, but when I then respond and explain, multiple times, in a row, and their projections shifts and they contradict themselves to match their...

I’m fingerpointing? I’m replying to shifts in projections made on wrong assumptions and indenial, if anything the ones who are stubborn and indenial are the hostile ones since they simply refuse to read the post or my comments, and keep running around the rosy to argue. None of the ones making...

You’re the one mixing oxidation with stretched topsheet, so I don’t understand why you turn it the other way around now :) First you assume that my stretched rubbers which have similar topsheet look as the other pictures I posted, are oxidated and not stretched after a 48 hour boosting period...
