Hello all,
I'm new to the forum and I play as a modern defender: spin-focused all rounder, flat smashing easy balls on the forehand, chop from mid distance and deceptive play at the table, including twiddling on the backhand to attack and confuse.

Hello Guys!
I plan on glueing rubbers on my Stiga Dynasty Carbon again.
The first time I used it for a couple of months and then took off the rubbers and the surface started to splinter a little bit.
I probably wasnt very careful when removing the rubbers at the time as I wasnt very experienced...
Hi,
Though I had no immediate requirement but as I was getting a good deal on a Stiga Infinity VPS V blade, i went ahead and ordered one. I read some posts on blade sealing and my understanding after reading those is that it depends on number of factors, such as the outer layer of the blade...
After gluing and removing rubbers from a Yinhe Earth 3, which has a really smooth finish on the blade face, and a Korbel, which has a less smooth surface than Yinhe (for my surprise), I noticed something obvious. It is much easier to apply glue and remove rubbers from a smoother surface.

I don't want to buy that big can of sealer to seal my new blade.
I was thinking about using nail protector or sealer or whatever it is called.
Please post your experiences, either sealing a blade with nail products or doing your nails.
Many people says that we should seal the blade to avoid destroying the blade while peeling the rubbers off. Some doesn't. What is your opinion guys? Do you seal your blade? Is blade sealing really necessary? And will blade sealing affect the performance of the racket?
Hi everyone
I just wondered if you put a layer of varnish / VOC-free sealing onto your blade, will it alter its performance?
What about layering up a hypothetical 15 layers, would it change the specs of your blade's outer ply?
It seems logical the feel of the outer ply would be...
