  1. best tt shoe?

    Can anyone recommend a shoe that'll fit size US13 (29.5cm)? I checked a couple of the shoes recommended in this thread I don't recall seeing any that go up to the size I need 😬 Thanks!

    The info might be in TT Gear Labs
  3. how do DHS DJ40+ balls compare to other 3 star balls?

    A little late to the party but I really like the DJ40+ ball. Everyone at my club swears by nittaku and it's like pulling teeth to get then to give it an honest try but every one who can notice the difference prefers the DJ40+. To me, it plays soooooo much more stable. It's weird but the ball...
  4. Long 5 Blades vs TMXi Blades

    You can try this, starting about 3:25. Perceived weight will change, even though you're adding weight. I know some people shave a couple mm off which has the compounding effect of less wood and less rubber but that's very permanent
  5. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    Maybe 729 Battle 3? Tacky, soft topsheet, hard sponge (38° -40° DHS scale iirc)
  6. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Bought a pair of B3s (40° & 38°) a while ago... Might give it a try once my current rubbers run it's course. Thanks for the info!
  7. Friendship 729 battle 3

    IIRC, Bo 2 is the same composition as HL5 but a little stiffer? If battle 3 is alright on Bo 2, it'll probably be fine on HL5... right? Ha ha
  8. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Read through the thread again, I recall that people say B3 is good with harder (koto outer) blades and someone said it's ok with the Fang Bo 2... Has anyone tried it with the HL5/W968? Elastic top sheet sounds appealing for over the table backhand brushy shots. Also, has anyone tried boosting...
  9. “Sealing effects performance”…. Is there any proof?

    Looks great to me 😁 Your setup makes me miss my V+... I played it so much the sweet spot on my fh got damaged and splintered when I tried to change out rubbers... I guess that's kind of something to be proud of? 🥲

  15. Long 5 Blades vs TMXi Blades

    A review from TT Gan Fwiw, I see tmxi go on sale at tt11 occasionally iirc, he said it's 90% closer to W968?
  16. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    I wonder, then, if this method of "dry-aging" a newly booster rubber could be a way of consistently applying a mild booster effect (for people like me who aren't practiced at boosting). Though waiting is probably not going to help extremely oversaturated sponges...
  17. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    Greetings! Do you guys have any thoughts/opinions/insights on boosting a rubber, sealing it in a Ziploc, and setting it aside for a later use a couple months down the line? Seems like from what I read earlier, the general consensus is that booster affects the sponge mechanically (as opposed to...
  18. Improved the Petr Korbel (Japanese version) Head heavy, thin handle (fixed with tweaks)

    You can also try adding weight (i.e.: masking tape a a few coins or washers) to the bottom of the grip to see if you like the "Center-of-Gravity closer to the grip" feel better... for people who fear commitment like myself.

    Provincial. I read through some of the forum topics and watched the review from Gan; It seemed like it was close enough 😁
