Which top players boost?

jmillsy2 · Apr 6, 2013

almost all the top pros boost.
all the chinese top men boost. boll doesnt boost, but gets a special version of tenergy. mizutani we dont know about, although it appears he has started. joo doesnt. chuang probably does.
most of the players in the top 100 boost...obviously there are a few exceptions eg someonme like chchtenine

but not many exceptions...

i dont know about the women, i would imagine some of them boost but way less than the men- they dont really need the booster for the counterattacking game i dont think...

I don't think their are any professional players in the world who don't boost! Other than defenders obviously.

I've also been told (by one of them) that the rubbers they get (the ones who get them direct from the manufacturer) are boosted in the factory! & I'm not talking about boosted like the pre tuned ones we get. Thing about that is, that makes it legal! Because it's done in the factory.
Whereas if we do it, to try & keep,up, that's illegal because we're doing it & that's changing the characteristics of the rubber!

I think most if not all players in the top 10 (if not top 20 / 50) of most TT countries boost.

After reading Dan's interview, I know Joo doesn't boost. For the rest I have no idea

even Joo Se Hyuk admitted in the interveiw that he boosted before and that it was better. I also feel the power of Mizutani changed a lot, maybe his sponge contains some oil now (either from factory or from private boosting)
