How do I get that thick Booster noise?

I use 2 layers of haifu.
These girls are using euro rubbers.....szocs uses tibhar.
Many pros use only 2 layers of Haifu or even less. If you find it that hard to believe that it is an equipment difference and not a technique difference between yourself and a top pro though I don't know what anyone else can tell you.

So you are suggesting it's all because of the technique and not because they are juicing the hell out of those poor innocent rubbers.
This is hilarious.

Szocs is not even moving her racket, she's just blocking.
block with incoming power, yep, you get noise for that.
you should go into training halls and see for your self.
seeing is believing.

I have the same with my D09C on my backhand that only has 1 layer.
I can block with noise and block without.
Oh but she's a pro so she's hitting so hard and perfectly but you would never understand this because you are not a pro.....
It's all her perfect technique....it has nothing to do with her sinking the rubber for 3 weeks in a pool of experimental booster made by the government
and nope, she doesn't sink it for 3 weeks
ESN rubbers can't do that

in fact, theoretically speaking, more layers will have less sound.
the sponge will be too mushy to have a crisp sound

🤣🤣 Yes, better technique will make a noise that most people find satisfying. "she's not even moving her racket" is just completely wrong.

Those pros are probably using rubbers with sponges that are different from what you can buy and customized blades and that may explain the extra noise. That and they also hit hard and block harder hits.

There are two different kinds of sounds. On flat hit, you hear a higher pitched wood sound.

If you really get the topsheet to stretch and rebound, while compressing the sponge you get this corking sound which is lower pitched. That sound is actually from the speed of the rubber rebounding. Like when you take a towel or a whip and whip it and it makes no sound and then you do it just so and you get a big pop....that is what happens to the rubber/sponge when your contact is a very particular kind. The speed of the rebound, the speed of the topsheet snapping back to its original position creates that sound.

That can happen without good boost or speed glue. But nowhere near as easily. It is much easier to get that with a rubber that has been boosted well. And even easier to get that corking sound when you use speed glue. :)

But, without the technique to really get the ball to sink into the topsheet and distort it, compress the sponge and really stretch the topsheet while the topsheet is grabbing the ball, you won't get that pop (corking sound) that I am talking about. So, technique + chemicals are quite useful to the process. Said differently, whether you like it or not, the-don has a point. :) Maybe the boost isn't the whole picture. But he does have a point.

Instead of talking so much show me a video of two non ittf players whose rackets sound like that.
Even which such video, you will have a long list of excuses.
Fly to Taiwan and I can take you into high level centers and you can see for yourself.

As I said, just use those pro bats and see if you can get any sounds.
This sound thing is pretty simple to understand in our side of the world, maybe it is our air or water here

I actually get that sound without the almighty heavenly technique of the pros.
How do I get it?
You need
*a rubber that's been boosted recently
*hasn't been played much after the boosting

So the question was not how to get that sound but how to get more of it.
Maybe it has to do with the rubber being new, boosting techniques, booster quality, etc.

As for those suggesting the sound of Chinese rubbers it's hilarious.....that sound has nothing to do with the sound I'm talking about.

not sure why this question matters...this is me playing H3 that was boosted 6 months ago on victas swat blade...


The loop at :51 sec versus 1:02 sound very slightly different cause the latter (because of slightly later timing and ball height) needs slightly more brushing but is still more a drive than purely spin loop.
I think developing the feeling for degree of Brush versus Drive depending on intended contact point based on height of the incoming ball, intended depth of ball return, calculation of safety margin are more important than aiming for sound. And i still suck at that.

You can get that distinct "Corking" sound of an illegally glued rubber simply by...

1 - Get a softer sponged modern dynamic rubber

2 - Have incoming ball have a little pace or spin coming at you

3 - Use a powerful stroke with very fast final bat speed at impact. Do not engage wood, brush over the ball. get ball into topsheet and sponge and keep it there during impact

You do those things, people will accuse you of an illegal rubber... even though it is the natural resultant sound of such a rubber with that impact.

I can even get a 50 degree sponged rubber (Regular Aurus) to make that sound on certain blades. I do it easily with T05FX, FX-P, FX-S, Aurus soft, and many other soft sponged rubbers.

It's not only the sound.
There's also a special feel when hitting with massively boosted new rubbers like this.
Plus more speed, more spin, more control.
Imagine if they pair this with illegal drugs they get from government funded laboratories.
Plus training from age 3.
That's the trick

Could you post a video of your playing?
