Does using booster on medium-sponge mess up the throw angle?

[TensorBackhand]

I've had several medium or medium-soft rubbers that seem to have a slightly low or uncomfortable throw angle. The common point being that I had boosted all of them. I can't remember for sure whether they had this throw angle before I boosted, but at the very least, I wasn't conscious of the lower throw angle before boosting.

Do you think boosting medium sponges would cause the throw angle to be lower?

 

[Kolev]

Yes. It makes it lower

 

[TensorBackhand]

Yes. It makes it lower

How do you know that?

Doesnt boosting hard sponges make the throw angle higher? Why is it opposite for medium sponges?

I have the same question, "how does it do it" ?
But having said that, I can assure you that my ultra-hard RXTON5, with 1 thin layer of seamoon has still one heck of a low throw- dangle

How do you think I know? I smply boost some of my rubbers just to lower the throw. Even my H3 has higher throw if not boosted

Ive always heard that booster oncreases throw angle. This is first time to hear that booster decreases.

Because throw angle is a myth, anyone can claim anything, unless we have someone doing videos like this for boosted vs. non-boosted rubbers. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/fo...fastarc-g1-with-angles-calculated-video.30630

Well I put a boosted Moon Speed and unboosted Moon Speed on the same blade to see what difference the booster makes on a medium sponge.

It did seem like the unboosted rubber had more control, somehow more stable, and slightly more natural throw angle. The boosted rubber had slightly more bounciness, but overall seemed harder to control and more akward.

I think the issue is that the rubber was over boosted, and that somehow ruins the sponge. Soft or medium sponges probably can only handle very light booster. This is what makes 729 Aurora unusual, that it reacts incredibly well to booster. But I haven't found any other rubber that does the same.

A while ago now, when I first started to use DHS H3, it was suggested to me to use normal H3 on the FH and Neo on the BH, so i got a neo37 and a normal H3./39 I did not boost then.
For me this never worked, so i ended up using the softer neo on the FH and the harder H3 /39 on the BH................this works for me.
.it was always clear to me that the harder rubbers gave me more control than the softer ones.
Now I have given up using different rubbers, I just use the same on BH and FH

So I don't think your rubber was overboosted, to me it sounds that it did exactly what I would have expected it to do, you boost, the sponge softens and you loose some control
