Yes, all of those reasons apply to me. I do not want to use booster because I want a simple, stable and low-maintenance setup. I do not want to repeatedly remove the rubber, apply booster and glue it again. I am also concerned about the legality of boosting, the gradual loss of the booster...

Hi everyone, My question is mainly about using the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 38° Blue Sponge completely without booster. I am considering using it on the forehand of a DHS W968 National / Hurricane Long 5 National, and I do not intend to boost it when new or re-boost it later...

Thanks for the suggestion. What is the exact full name of this rubber and its manufacturer? Is it Yuanjian ZhanTian, made by Yuanjian, LGY’s company? For a DHS W968 National, which exact rubber, hardness and thickness would you recommend for: FH: A hard and tacky rubber that plays as close...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for the closest possible forehand alternative to a properly boosted DHS Hurricane 3 Neo National Blue Sponge for use on a DHS W968 National blade. I do not want to boost rubbers at all—not initially and not every few weeks. However, I still want to preserve as many...

I want play Chinese style but with Un-Booster rubber

Which rubber setup (forehand and backhand) is best for these blades if I don't want to use DHS rubbers that require a booster and is that an acceptable approach?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to decide between four blades and would really appreciate your input: 1. DHS W968 Hurricane Long 5 National 2. DHS W968 Gold Grand Slam 3. DHS Golden 6 W968 / W968S Ma Long 4. DHS Q968 Hurricane King National On the rubber side, I've decided that boosting just isn't...

I get why it may look like that from the outside, but I’m not constantly changing equipment. I’ve been playing with Harimoto Innerforce ALC and Dignics 05 2.1 on both sides for more than a year and a half. Now I simply feel that I want to move to an outer carbon blade and a tackier FH rubber...

I’m thinking about that too. I liked Dignics 05 on my BH in my previous setup, so continuing with it does make sense. My only concern is that I’m moving to a faster, sharper blade with less dwell time, so I’m worried that D05 on the backhand might feel a bit too direct and fast for me. I’m...

Hi everyone, I’m using a Butterfly Viscaria ALC with Dignics 09C 2.1 on my forehand. I’m not sure what to choose for my backhand. Would Dignics 09C 2.1 also work well on the backhand, or would it be too demanding/heavy with this blade? I play mostly close to the table and I’m looking for...

Hi all, Small update: In the end I decided to buy the Butterfly Viscaria ALC. I ordered it from Butterfly and asked for around 88g, with this setup: FH: Dignics 09C 2.1 BH: Dignics 05 2.1 After reading the comments and thinking about it, I felt that the Viscaria is the safer long-term...

Thanks, just to clarify did you mean the FZD ALC feels slightly stiffer/harder than the Viscaria, but also a bit more balanced because of the handle? Also, for BH on the FZD ALC, would you say D05 is easier to activate than D09C? I’m looking for a fast BH with a high arc, not something that...

Yeah my bad, already fixed it. Real question though: with 09C on the FH would you go vis or fzd alc? And keep D05 on the BH or something faster?

Hi all, Torn between the Viscaria ALC and the Fan Zhendong ALC for my next blade. Setup: Dignics 09C on FH, Dignics 05 on BH. From what I understand the two are nearly identical both Koto outer with ALC under the surface, kiri core, same 5+2 build with the FZD ALC usually described as a...

Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I really appreciate the explanation, especially the part about Innerforce blades being more “two-gear” blades and Viscaria feeling more linear, direct and crisp. That actually makes a lot of sense to me. I also understand your point that it is not...

I think change to FZH ALC

😂 funny but im not bot and i really want know listen to you if you can give me good advice

Thanks for the replies. I really like the control, balance and feeling of my current Harimoto Innerforce ALC. It feels very stable and comfortable for me, especially with Dignics 05. However, I feel that I have reached a stage where the blade is not fast/powerful enough for what I want. I am...
