Lining Kylin is my rec. I haven't tried the Nittaku-Yonex shoe. It's hard to recommend one as some shoes work better on taraflex but usually those shoes "suck" on wood floor. So I have several shoes. For taraflex Lining is the best. If you play on wood floor a lot maybe get the Yonex one. Yonex...

Taobao --> Pandabuy TT11 usually has Lining and Mizuno but Estonia to Australia is a stretch...

I'm saying they are made better than Mizuno Wave Medal and Wave Drive. Some Lining shoes actually have the Wave Drive midsole and sole, like my early model WCQ shoe. Now I believe they use the Lining midsole and sole. The BOA is just like normal lace but it tightens every part evenly. It's nice...

Mizuno Wave Medal is better for wide feet, but Lining shoes are top quality, I have the WCQ shoe from Lining, and it's awesome. I had Wave Medal 6 before and that was great too. The Wave Medal is more of a stability shoe in my opinion. Surprisingly from all the Lining shoes I had be it running...

I know how that feels too. I also kill rubbers too fast, maybe now I have a good sheet of H3BS and it holds up in south China for almost 3 weeks with daily 3 hours of play. But if it would die on me with weekly 6 hours of play in 2 weeks or something I would shed tears. But it's promising that...

The problem with the Xuperman rubber is that it's also heavy compared to H3BS and not better either. Other problem is that H3 BS prov maybe 10-15USD more than the normal Powerplay-X and about the same price as the pro version. H3 BS prov is priced well.

That is Nittaku Finezip rebranded as Stiga. I doubt Stiga has made any glue since the speed glue ban, and certainly it wasn't the Attach glue. That being said since the Finezip is a good glue the Stiga is also a good glue. But it can spoil in the tube quickly so maybe don't buy a lot if you...

There really isn't much trick to it. Just let the first layer dry completely, maybe even leave it for 40 minutes to dry, then do the same thing you did with the first layer. The only thing one needs to be careful with DHS No 15 is that it dries fast so you need to do the spreading quickly and...

Last time i got it from this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006658482933.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.21.176718026yDbe3 It arrived in great quality and all but if I remember well it took 3+ weeks so there is that... One needs to kind of think ahead when buying from Ali.

I would say medium sticky. It's nowhere near like the German-made glues. I think it's on par with normal revolution glue, maybe even less sticky than the high-viscosity revolution. Or one can buy the Sueke No 2 glue which is cheap and amazing, but still the DHS No15 is my 2nd favorite.

I do 2 layers on sponge one on blade. But chinese even use more than that, 3-4 on sponge one on blade. But DHS No 15 is really heavy glue too so you will be adding a gram of weight with every layer you make.

To me it looks like N2 and O2 are pretty good already and by some miracle good old plain air is filled with both of these gasses.

Butterfly Revoldia CNF. It's not cheap tho, hope that is not a criteria.

So I suppose this blade is Donic's attempt of the Carbonado. That one had the Textreme carbon this one the Xtreme😅

Actually I haven't seen anyone using it but the players know what it is. Most players use Viscaria or HL5 or the Wang Chuqin blade recently. The better players get H3 and the HL5 for free so that's also a factor.

Hhhhhhhhhh. I actually grabbed mine a few weeks ago. And now I am in China training like there's no tomorrow and I use this as my racket with H3N BS 40deg 2.1mm that I cut and glued first a year ago and before I came to China I reboosted it with plain seamoon. It is fantastic. On BH I just use...

N Nice, it looks like it can spin well.

Yes, I tried it and it works with Mantra Pro too but not as well as Butterfly spring sponge. Literally nothing comes close to spring sponge X. Newer ESN stuff also not bad. Old ESN stuff like G1 are not good. Mantra Pro in between. But maybe Mantra Pro doesn't need this. If someone uses...

Like many before said get 39-40deg H3N prov blue sponge for forehand if you are serious. The provincial orange is not much cheaper. Provincial BS H3N or the national version is very light. So one can use a heavy backhand rubber with it if that's your thing. The new ESN rubbers easily go up to...

I noticed this too with recent H3N I opened. I can only speculate they don't give it as much or any factory treatment. Is DHS cutting corners (which they really are if you think about commercial and prov versions) or many asked for this and they obliged...? Or something else? I leave it to...
