  1. I've trained with 20+ top coaches in the world and I still suck :) - AMA

    Hey! I really related to what you wrote. I’ve also been thinking about looking for coaches who can help me in a more personalized way. I started playing when I was 12, but I didn’t stick with it for more than a year. Then I picked it up again at 15, but always without any proper coaching. Now...
  2. Soft vs Hard Rubbers – Which One Gives Better Blade Feeling?

    Thanks a lot for your answer. I recently did a quick test with a Calibra LT Sound Max (2.2 mm), and I definitely felt way less vibration compared to something like a Nittaku Hurricane 8-80. During matches, I also noticed that I don’t feel the ball as clearly with the Calibra, and sometimes my...
  3. Soft vs Hard Rubbers – Which One Gives Better Blade Feeling?

    Hi there! I saw that you're using a Virtuoso OFF- with two Tenergy 05 FX, and I wanted to ask: how do you feel about the feedback and vibrations with that setup? Have you also had a chance to try the Nittaku Acoustic G-Revision? I’m asking because I’m currently waiting for my own Virtuoso OFF-...
  4. Soft vs Hard Rubbers – Which One Gives Better Blade Feeling?

    I disagree, I do think that my question makes sense. I wasn't asking about OX rubbers or sponge thickness, but the softness of the sponge and how it affects blade feeling this is too different. I’m genuinely curious how other players perceive the feedback differences between soft and hard...
  5. Soft vs Hard Rubbers – Which One Gives Better Blade Feeling?

    Thanks. This confirms what I was thinking.
  6. Soft vs Hard Rubbers – Which One Gives Better Blade Feeling?

    Hi everyone, I have a question about rubber hardness and blade feeling, and I’d love to hear your opinions. I’ve been using soft rubbers like Tenergy 05 FX and Stiga Calibra LT Sound because I enjoy the sound and the soft touch they give me. However, I’m starting to wonder if I’m actually...
  7. Blades with Vibrations

    For me, the Korbel made in Japan have more vibrations. I have a Nittaku G-Revision version
  8. Loud rubbers recommendation

    I bought a Mantra Sound too, which is supposedly the softest in that series, but its sound is nowhere near that of the Calibra LT Sound. Possibly, applying booster to this Mantra could make it resemble a Calibra LT Sound, and I can't imagine what the latter would be like with booster. At some...
  9. Loud rubbers recommendation

    These rubbers offer an incredible sound; it's exactly what I was looking for. Last weekend, I was at a tournament and saw a player whose topspins produced a spectacular sound. I couldn't resist, so I approached him, and he told me he was using two Stiga Calibra LT Sound rubbers. I wonder if...
  10. What are the best scissors to cut rubber?

    I don't know if anyone has already said this, but the best way to cut rubber is with a scalpel.
  11. Hadraw 5

    Hadraw 5

    This blade has moderate bounciness despite its relatively thin layer composition among all-wood 5-layer blades. Hadraw 5 is recommended for intermediate to advanced players who want the unique touch of all-wood blade while still easily being able to spin the ball and add decent power. Players...

    Orange sponge is not softer?
  16. Loud rubbers recommendation

    Hi everyone. I’m currently using a Tenergy 05 FX (without booster) and I really love the sound it makes when hitting the ball. It reminds me a lot of the times when I used speed glue many year ago ( ohh, those days using Master Chack). I’m looking for a DHS or other rubber with a similar...
  17. Help me to improve my serves

    Just as you have practiced your strokes, serving also needs to be trained. Here are some tips: Start by watching some YouTube videos: There are many that explain in detail how to execute them. Choose a couple of serves that you can perform with topspin, backspin, and sidespin. The main idea...
  18. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    I don't think it would change the properties of the rubber since the baby oil is applied on the glue. When you remove the glue along with the oil using a cloth, very little of the oil will remain on the rubber.
  19. Lessons I Learned in Shanghai about Boosting and Equipment in General

    Apply a layer of baby oil over the glue, wait about 10 minutes, and then start to gently remove the glue with a cloth. The baby oil helps to dissolve the glue, making it easier to remove from the rubber.
