No, I mean the booster expanding the sponge but also not softening it. It's pretty much not possible unless the booster adds an incredible amount of density to the sponge, which it doesn't. Of course the strength per ml can be higher and it probably is, so it allows you in effect to soften the...

I'd agree with this 99% of the time but occasionally there will just be some kind of deep-seated grime that can only come off with soap and some friction. It's just a balance of when you're wearing out the rubber more than you're restoring its performance by removing the grime. Grippy rubber...

I go to the club most of the time with a rusty bargain bicycle, does that count?

Global Sports Store SweetHeartPet Store HWSPORT CHOICE Store Chinese PingPong Store, Toki Table Tennis Store XVT Table Tennis Store, XVT INTERNATIONAL SPORTS GOODS CO.,LTD Professional Table Tennis Store BEO Store These are the ones I'm aware of that will likely sell you genuine, not completely...

Mine didn't change for 2 months~, H3 looks worse after 1.5. Provincial and National Super Select same thing. Partner is using the Provincial now and it still looks fine. Maybe you've bought from a lemon batch/your environment?

I think reboosting them is pretty viable but I'm not really on a budget so there's no need to do that. I don't mind doing it; but I will rather donate my sheet to someone who needs it and doesn't mind it being slower. One guy at my club has been using AFAIK the same G-1 sheets for half a year...

It'd help, but you said you're playing well with them; so what makes you feel you need to change? You've only used them for 1.5 months, there will still be good performance left for at least 2-3 more.

Yeah, I am quite fussy about my forehand rubber performance, but for the backhand I'm totally okay with a minor gradual decline and not replacing it for a good while. I'm willing to give up some high-end performance for stable performance. I will still try a few more because of course I will...

Silly questions get silly answers. :P

How you hit the ball will quite literally change the stiffness of the stroke. They're not symmetrically stiff and the amount you use the topsheet vs the sponge and the overall load input can change that. I'd expect consistency, though, it's not *that* different, but I'm just saying that in some...

You didn't post video of yourself playing and nothing indicates you need to change, so I suggest you buy a #1 W968/Golden Viscaria and slap on 9 layers boosted Hurricane 3 player edition and Dignics 09c national team version onto it. :P

I'm 99% sure that's completely impossible. I have some Black on order so I will just confirm it on my next boost cycle because I'm curious about it. I reboost every month and that's conservative, really you'd want more like every week to two weeks, but it's unnecessary for my play level. I...

They have soaping and foaming agents that degrade the rubber. There is no way to regenerate the performance of rubber in any way. Once it's broken down it's broken down. You can do literally nothing with anything to get any of it back. At most you can soften the compound to bring it back closer...

I'm not super sure national white isn't either. It has the exact same characteristics as a thicker formulation of Seamoon. Maybe it's closer to Seamoon II in some performance characteristics, but I'd go as far to say that for a non-elite player they're the same thing and only the amount needed...

Not sure I agree on the idea that you're gonna get pro-level performance without boosting weekly. The reality of the matter is that everyone is getting rubbers either really pre-boosted, or doing it themselves. Plenty of players talk about boosting their K3 or Dignics, and not just Hurricane...

It's probably a mix of those. The opponent's ball is extremely inconsistent and has whatever spin, depth and height on it, but it's pretty consistently an issue with the wide forehand. Even if my forehand swing is very long, I often over-move towards the forehand side, so I probably need to...

Hit a bit today, no usual partner so no video, I was supposed to film some serves but I ended up playing to the end. Losing sets vs player I shouldn't lose (low-medium level pips chopper) but it is what it is. I kept hitting the label part of the forehand on most wide balls. It's so super...

That's my pick too if you're really on a budget. You can probably get it for less if you buy them all on Aliexpress bundle deals or coins. The T5000 isn't really a carbon blade, the "carbon" layer looks like carbonized wood, and it plays more like a medium 5ply.

I agree with this but with a caveat from my own re-learning lately: Attacking in a drill with a mellow intensity is not enough after a point. You need to get accustomed to using the power and footwork you will actually intend to use. It's probably good to start slow and smooth, but if that's...

That's one of my weaknesses too, so I get it. You need to really pay attention to the impact sound and look at the arc. It's also just plain easier to see if there's arc or not if you're lower, closer to eye height with the arc. Obviously also the bounce off the table, but you're not gonna see...
