Haha, I started playing with a similar story! I was in med school at the time and there was a table at our lounge. I was getting my butt kicked left and right, so I bought a premade racket off of Amazon and started playing at a local club. There was just this one old guy there the first time...

No, definitely not! It seems like an AI read my post and then dovetailed a promo segment to the end if my post. I'm concerned that @MaxBeckwith or TTD itself was hacked if these types of things are being added to posts.

Whoa that's weird how your quote of my post added a 4th paragraph. Does anyone else see it, in my post and his? I can only see the 3 paragraphs I wrote.

I took some time off to host my in-laws (both MIL/FIL as well as my SIL/husband/toddler) a couple weeks ago, and had to work a bit extra afterwards to make up the hours, so haven't had too much time to play. I've also been dealing with a nagging left hamstring injury, which I know will probably...

You said in your very first post, before anyone had replied that "Basically by removing the protective film before boosting you allow the topsheet to stretch a lot more with the sponge, which creates a lot more tension and also turns the sticky topsheet into a more grippy surface." You're making...

I'm still not sure what you're trying to say. Yes, professional rubbers are highly tensioned/stretched, but what does that have anything to do with tackiness or oxidation? It's the association between those things which you're drawing that I'm skeptical of.

I'm still not sure what you're trying to show, that the pros boost? That boosted rubbers have more visible pimples? That's just common knowledge. If you're trying to say that the one without removed film did not have a stretched topsheet look, then that's obviously wrong. In your picture it...

I've rested it on a flat surface and I've rested it on a booster bottle, again, makes no difference. It sounds like you only did without removing the protective film once, do it a few more times and let us know. It could also be that you got a particularly tacky sheet which you happened to try...

No, I'm saying you probably need to experiment before you can make that conclusion. I've boosted countless H3s, BS, OS, black, and red, with the protective sheet on or removed, it makes no difference to the tackiness. The only time tackiness is significantly affected is 1) when the sheet is bad...

Then perhaps the one you left without a cover simply oxidized, which can happen if left uncovered especially in a hot environment.

Yeah, I think you were extra sluggish that day! I think his assessment at the end was correct in that he just needed to bring the ball back. Your single shot quality was still very good, but just didn't have the stamina to continuously attack that day.

That's just DHS quality control, has nothing to do with boosting procedure. I've boosted both ways and have gotten a non-sticky one only once and that was with leaving the protective sheet on.

I have the R version, and I've been playing with it here and there for about a month now. Over time I've gained enough appreciation for it that I'm seriously considering switching to it. The main thing I don't like about it is the handle. Its width is a bit narrower than the Q968, but the...

Hey @Der_Echte, you made it to Muscle Pong's latest video!

Why would it? I have principles, and they guide my thoughts and actions. The principle here is that athletes should not be affected by the politics of their nation. Conversely, athletes IMO should stay out of politics during competition. If Sidorenko had tried using WTT as a platform to push...

Yes, I support the performance of athletes from Nazi Germany at international competitions.

Sure, if there were such competitions taking place at that time. You're only using this example because the Nazis lost. I remember a WW2 documentary I watched last year, there was a segment about the British being astounded that some African nations were supporting Germany. Then there were some...

I think it's silly to punish athletes for what the politicians do. Sidorenko should be allowed to compete, and under the Russian flag if he so wishes. Politics is divisive, you're often gonna find differing opinions on it. It's inherently unfair to punish some athletes but not others just...

Neither Alexis nor Lind uses any BTY gear though.

I did some practice against the robot on Tues, then had a practice session on Wed. Idk what practice was working for my FH but it was working, lol. Man, I felt like I had perfect control, can go 0 to 100, focusing more on spin or speed, moving left or right, and can land the shots consistently...
