Firstly, this is not about boosting/expanding the sponge. this is only about the top sheet.
So I'm pretty interested in the idea of restoring the tackiness of my dhs tacky rubber, as I find myself changing rubber after 2-3 months. I have no problem with the sponge, so am interested in using oil to restore the tackiness. This will also make the grip more consistent as I further develop my serves and forehand. According the ITTF rules, you can't treat your topsheet with anything other than water. As far as I'm concerned as a local league player, I don't have a problem if I'm not giving myself an unfair advantage which I would consider cheating. I'm only looking to maintain tackiness, something I could legally do if I wanted to keep replacing my rubber. I've also read that pros are using haifu oil? what's the general consensus about oil?
1. Do you think it's integrous?
2. Are pros doing it?
3. How are pros getting away with it?
4. What kind of oil do you recommend for chinese tacky rubbers?
5. How much oil should be used and with what procedure/tools
