Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

Asked but forgot to get he specific name of that Tuttle rubber. He said it was not anti.

But it says “ prevention arc”, which is “防弧” or “anti spin”
I’ve glued these rubbers for a friend, it’s a laughable attempt at an anti.

Attached are pix of my friend's cybershape knockoff.

If you look closely at the base of the handle, the handle is delaminating and not fully attached.

Naa, not delaminating more like the glue is giving up and handle is coming loose. Has happened to me several times, even on my BTY Primorac Carbon. I just took the handle off and re-glued it.

Cheers

Will check again tomorrow night. Will say after hitting with it, it does NOT hit like Anti.

Yeah, i know. Sent message previously to you explaining the most likely reason my friend bought that from our mutual friend.

After unintentional years of playing with Donic Bluefire on my FH/Xiom Vega Pro on my RPB on my Butterfly Taksim, finally had a chance to buy new rubbers and put them on. Will try this setup tonight: MX-P on FH and Yinhe Mercury 2 on RPB. Not my first time using MX-P, like it a lot. Although in the past, I did not use it on a carbon blade like the Taksim. The Mercury 2 may be temporary for RPB. Originally wanted to try the Yinhe Big Dipper as RPB which I've tried to in the past and liked, but that was not dedicated playing, just messing around. If I get used to and like the Mercury 2, i will hold off on the Big Dipper.

I’ve been really enjoying Loki rubbers so far! I think Rxton 1 is a terrific rubber for both rpb and forehand.

Defo try this out. I’m experimenting with boosting and how many I’d like. I usually do 3 layers of seamoon but recently I’ve glued up a sheet with only 1 layer and it plays great as well!

i don’t like rxton 3 that much- or maybe it was a bad pairing?

I like rxton 1 and 5.

Also regarding backhand serve many penhold guys of the 70s and 80s did that but the younger penhold guys like wang hao, ma lin, xu xin never serve backhand. Why did players stop using it (shake hand too except a few guys like dima sometimes)?

They have hook/shovel serve in their basket for the same purpose and more deceptive. They all have mastered the backhand serve, but they'd like to use it as a tool to change the pace of the game instead of regularly. Same as shakehand player except defensive players.

That's for high-end players. For us, it is as good as pendulum.

I have another question about BH underspin push.

Should you push more straight across the body or take back the forearm across the chest first?

See video for clarification what I mean:
