Boosting topsheet?

[AutomaticBackhand]

The idea is boosting the topsheet, just you would boost the sponge.

What I tried: 1 layer of haifu seamoon on the topsheet of:
- a long worn out tenergy 05
- a very used Loki Rxton 9

And let them dry for a day or so.


The T05 got a little bit sticky, more spinny and definitely interesting.
But it also looked like a thin layer of something came off on top, idk if it was the booster layer or something from the rubber.

The Rxton 9 got more sticky than before, and that's basically it.

Couldn't play with either of them extensively - didn't have the available training time.

Maybe this could be an actually viable option for longer lifetime / performance changes.

Has anyone tried it?

Yep, the boosters lay up a very thin layer, looks nearly like a very thin layer of glue.
Happy experimenting.

For basement players with no money, no.
They don't know what booster is and cannot afford it.
For school players who just inherited a 2 yrs old $80 butterfly rubber, sure!
For players who engage so much as to actually frequent a Table Tennis forum, 100% absolutely certainly not 😂
