Yes they use a booster otherwise they wouldn't be able to play with the H3.
Players in the TOP 20 also use boosters on rubbers other than Chinese.
Because they buy a booster from us.
I will certainly not tell you any names, we are bound by the protection of personal data.
yes, players use boosters for other brands as well, Butterfly, Joola and others.
There used to be these posts with the pro's blades photographed from tournaments, with the blades on a table not from a game, and you could see they were all visibly boosted with maybe a few exceptions for some backhands if I remember correctly, which I probably dont.
From a photo, how will i be able to see if a rubber has been boosted ??
And if it is that obvious, and allegedly boosting is illegal, how would the players get away with it ??
There was also an online Q&A thing with a top Swedish pro (can't remember who, Karlssen maybe?) Where he admitted he is, and suggested basically all pros are, boosting. Sorry, I'm too lazy to look it up
The way the rubber looks like when it's boosted with the visible pimple structure is completely obvious.
And why are you asking me how they get away with it when everyone knows pros boost and they have no problems 99.9% of the time?
It was a rhetorical question, and therefore you are not really personally expected to answer it 😀
However, I think the question has some merits, I think. If we consider that ITTF rules state that
nothing is allowed to be changed once a rubber leaves the factory , AND considering that it so obvious,
they should either act on their own rules or scrap it .
I am a booster, I vote for scrapping of course 😁
Your good friend Ma Long will simply argue as follows: " Me I did not boost them rubbers, the factory is boosting them , so me completely legal, **** off " 🤣
yeah, a DHS staff goes around with a mobile factory and provide final production touch ups before giving the rubbers to the players.
its perfectly legal
you don't need to be a pro
any semi pro in the world will be boosting.
low level players won't really care, but the ones fighting into world top 100 or 200, all boost.
the ones who say they not boosting, maybe have special treated equipment already
You can tell a lot of the time because the pimples are unusually visible. The edges are commonly curled in a certain way.
I’ve tried this, and you actually can stretch the rubbers to the point where they look like boosted. It just takes a lot of force, and probably destroys the rubber.
