Again, Yokoi delivered a smoking hot match against Akae. Seems that Akae was able to win by forcing Yokoi to switch between fh-bh continuously and stretching her out

most of the highlight only shows Yokoi's backhand ability, I wonder how was her forehand

I've just boosted my R5pro yesterday too, I'll try it out this afternoon to compare its performance to when it's unboosted

some of my ordered tacky rubber often comes with a protection film, I've been using them to protect my rubber and so far they've done their job well. It's worth noting that there're adhesive an non-adhesive ones, so for tacky rubber you should use non-adhesive film

Hook serve is the easiest serve to be covered, WCQ often uses his body to block the view during serving motion.

Uda did fine this time though, but Togami handed Xiang/Yuan the win. Forehand counter was unstable, his backhand was all over the place but he didn't even bother to pivot to improve the situation

it's only until the 4th set that Harimoto started to actively put his forehand into play since his backhand couldn't fully contain Dima's powerful balls. His forehand counter hit rate has gone up but overall still very stiff

yes, it caters towards both wings offensive, and also close table counter-topspin style

Looks like compare to earlier gens like Ma Long, XX,... the young guns really have a shorter stroke. Their upper arm doesn't travel forward to let the lower arm completes the rest of the trajectory, whereas ML swings his whole arm forward along with folding the lower arm

I think it's because of the mixed team tournament that they have to schedule this for early 2024

that's the charm of blue sponge lol

I tried my friend's Target Pro blue 39d unboosted and I'd say it's literal hell lmao. Dead feeling, you get some spin but almost no speed, topsheet can't grab the ball well on brush loop. That's why when I purchased mine I decided to boost it right away before playing.

First day impression of the Rxton 5 pro and some comparison with my boosted Sanwei Target Pro Blue - Forehand block and drive feels quite solid, R5 pro provides nice vibration when blocking - When doing forehand topspin, I feel like R5 pro doesn't require as much body engagement as pro blue. You...

according to the chart u sent earlier on, I suspect the tension is the same tech they used on euro/jap rubber (streching the topsheet?) and the hyper is the boosting treatment of the sponge

I've just received a sheet of Rxton 5 Pro today. Same as what tensorbackhand said, the sponge feel softer than what I imagined 41d would be, heck it's even softer than my (already boosted twice) Sanwei Pro Blue 40d. I'll try playing it without booster first to see how it performs this afternoon

I didn't know Yan An was the coach for Shandong team until I watched this men's final lol

looking forward to your feedback on those rubbers, the loxa sponge on 5 pro is dense so I wonder if it's boosting-friendly or not

it's more on the big dipper side, my 40 deg sheet has almost no tackiness and plays like a hybrid

judging by their prices, they're only trying to compete with H3 market version, but even then they still can't replicate or surpass the amount of spin H3 gives

tbf I quite like Volant Phoenix, it has good speed and spin, non-tacky (sadly) and factory boosted so u just glue it in and play. The only drawback is the quick degradation of the top sheet and after 2 months of play, mine just died. It lost all the grip and can't be revived with speed glue or...
