my blade was 96gms carbonado 290 with rubbers was 194 l got it down to 185 by glueing like this lost 8gms in weight also l sanded blade a bit to compact size .. this gap helps to use the 3rd finger control much better when fh serving esp on fast serves .

now having tried jupiter 3 against good players who mostly use tenergy [the robot was beguiling cos not missing with J3 ] most posters about J3 have used H3 and other Chinese tacky rubbers . l had only used tensor euro ones T05 R48 etc so such a big change . l was...

After trying J3 for weeks over the hols , robot only club is closed till today .. its a low throw rubber for me 38 deg boosted with 3 layers of falco .feeling and feedback is amazing ,it has the chinese thin short pimple top sheet tackiness gives it spin, thou spin is...

Michael has got another player trying out jupiter 3 . Firstly l only ever used bouncy ESN rubber s before never any tacky hybrid or C rubbers . so the Chinese Yinhe is a revelation its quite tacky 3secs on ball pick up .. l needed to change something cos the...

l bought jupiter 3 in 38 deg from AliExpress one thing no one mentioned yet , is that it came with a layer of glue on the sponge its sticky l peeled it off easily in one piece its quite heavy and thick for a glue .since l am putting many more layers on . l...

lnteresting , since l use a st handle and its hard to grip it loosely on full loops loose equals fast swings more relaxed speed solution was to use just 18cm length 3 cms wide of tennis grip tape at the butt end so most is still wood it just makes a slight flare, ideal...

l have used a XVT ZLC KOTO for a while a few years back , Its a hard fast blade the third layer is not koto , it was 20 dollars ,its a clone of the JIKE butterfly ZLC blade that costs 300 dollars , seems very similar even the the handle...

use a solvent glue , it has no water to harm the plys ,, from contra .de , called normal glue is a solvent glue sold in tins 750ml has 8 times more glue than you get in a water based glue costing the same as 80ml bottle 19 euros .. its sticks well with...

l use aurus prime have for 2 years it lasts a long time . 3 reglueings . l used 05 tenergy before for 3 years it lasts but a big issue with 05 is that the sponge is fragile if you want to remove the glue and boost like l did the sponge gets...

Best is Aurus Prime l have tried barracuda its not high catapult not fast poor far back from table v fine close in , great spin v high arc throw , v good control , the rubber thats best for being like 05 is the one l use aurus prime its newer thick sponge...

l use VOC glue ! Normal glue from contra.de costs 10 times less that all the small bottles of revolution fine zip etc a 700gm large tin with a brush in the lid costs 19 euros l only play leagues it smells for a while in that time it plays like a v fast demon...

saw the aurus prime post ... interesting ! l started using aurus prime on BH. cos wanted a high throw rubber , after barracuda Aurus prime is far faster l bought prime because ,,,same thing wanted a 05 like high throw but more control . Revspin rating on throw...

l am no expert l am quoting one here "very top chinese coach coach Lin on you tube , tenergy was not added to by butterfly for 12 years ,they had the best selling rubber and it played the best , then last years they brought out dignics 05 09 then tenergy 19.. this...

new things l have found with this grip, you know the massive underspin serve that runs back to the net when not returned , because the normal thumb and 1st finger are pincering the rubber . every one has to snap fast with the end of handle starting and finishing above the wrist . my serve starts...

showing a better pic of the actual grip, the 2nd finger wedged in the 7mm gap. the power of the finger in its optimum position [and not on the handle where its force is minimal ] the other way to make the gap is to cut the chamfer by 7mm on the backhand side , makes that side shorter , or hardly...

l agree l get more more power looping with the 196 gm,,if one two or more metres away . l don't play away from the table am close in like female pro players hit loops early topspin ball and my focus is on a fast transition fore to backhands ,with a wide stance off the bounce . my expierence in...

Approx 7mm from the handle , l discovered this by accident when l made my bat 10 gms lighter, great if your bat is too heavy with harder rubbers mine was 196 gms the bat is still the same size ! the beautiful space fits your 2nd finger in the pendulum grip and the 2nd finger grips and flips up...

yes! that's a good tip .l will try it ! l have unique way [l think] thou penholders who glue way up can do all this too.. but not shake handers rubber is glued 7mm up see pics l wanted to lighten the bat did so by 11 gms to play close to the table , it was 195 gms...

thanks broken ball ... on the robot l tried to play further back and l can loop forehands ok from metres back ,am too old to pivot and run lots but dropping balls on the backhand are so much harder , my backhand loop is my best shot close in.So being a newish player close...
