re you saying when the ball hits Bluestorm that it doesn't spend anytime sinking into the rubber and then being pushed back out?
Never said that, Z3 just kicks the ball out like a damn cannon, hence the lack of spin and sensitivity. And low throw angle.
How you feel doesn't matter. By the time you feel anything the ball is long gone. This has been established years ago.
Feel is the only reason we can understand dwell and use the tacky rubbers with their advantages.
Do harder rubbers have more dwell time?
If so, then how can that be when the ball won't sink as far into the harder rubber relative to a soft rubber.
Dwell is subjective to the sponge hardness, and a hard rubber can have more dwell than a soft one. A good example is the hurricane 3 and tenergy 05. Or dignics 05 and vega europe.
If not then according then why is dwell time important. Even zeio hedged his comments with "perceived".
Again, it's about feel. That's what this sport relies on.
Dwell time gets short has the impact speed increases. It is short. About 1-1.5 ms at slow speeds and then it gets shorter from there. Can you tell the difference between 1 ms and 1.1 ms?
It is possible for dwell time to be infinite. How is this achieved? What are the necessary conditions?
We want to know.
Of course we can tell the difference, that tiny difference is the reason so many different sponge hardness of the same rubbers exist. The rasanter series is a good example, a billion sponge hardesses. And of course chinese rubbers.
Another point about dwell and tiny time differences, why do you think games chase low latency, we as humans can feel and understand these times, no matter how small it is. Try playing with a wireless mouse and then with a high quality wired, if you know what you're looking for, you'll find the difference and it will annoy you.
Is there tension? What holds the rubber in tension? Something must hold the rubber in tension. If that something is removed, then it should shrink. You say it is a physics thing. The must be a physics formula for it. Where is it? I have been asking this question for years. Hint, there isn't any. I believe there is a little tension when the ball hits the rubber and stretches it a little but not before. This is like a trampoline where tension increases as you depress the trampoline, but the trampoline is already in tension because of the frame and springs. TT paddles don't have the frame and springs.
There is tension in rubbers, that's why they shrink, Butterfly literally markets their rubbers as tensioned topsheets with high power sponge. Especially when they market them by stretching them by 300%.
Here's the link from Butterfly's official website for support of my argument.

This is a short part of Butterfly's statements in the article.
"High Tension" creates tension on a rubber’s surface and sponge to use the energy of the incoming ball and redirect it back into the shot. The technology is complex, but the principle is easy to understand: Like on a trampoline, the higher tension on the surface creates a higher bounce!Rubbers using "High Tension" have a much higher surface tension compared to classic rubbers, without negatively affecting material quality. Compared to the first "High Tension" rubbers, the tension in TENERGY has even been increased by 300%.
If you continue this argument I'll continue pulling articles from resources that cannot be invalidated. Happy now? Because I'm not.
Have a good day.
