How much booster do the pro CNT members use?

[Robin0910]

Even after 3 layers of Haifu Seamoon National my H3s don’t look this noticeable and those are national as well.
this is Liang Jingkun’s bat back from Frankfurt 2023
How many layers do the pros use?

 

[dingyibvs]

They use 3-5 layers, depending on the player. I think Yin Hang said he used 3, Fang Bo said he used 4. I think it's just a matter of lighting. After 2 layers mine look pretty obvious.

Can someone explain how booster affect topsheet?
I don't really understand what should I see here.

As far as I know, the pimples really shine through if its well boosted

Booster expands the pores in the sponge ==> sponge expands ==> topsheet stretched ==> increased surface tension.

That's why you see the pips.

None of course, it's illegal 😉

its not only about the layers, its amount of oil put done and the resting time in between
and the time to glue on.
by the the time it has uncurl, the stretch is also less for example.
3 layers is about right

Finally, another boosting thread 🍿

That makes sense, I always wait for the rubbers to uncurl but I suppose pros don’t

correct

As of late im boosting with haifu and even with that it is almost impossible for me to boost more than 2 layers. The last rubber domed to a full U and any more booster would have made it into an O.

So i would say it all depends on how the reaction of the rubber unfolds, too.

This is my rubber after 3 layers of Haifu black oil, and I glued it when it was still curled like crazy

How you make it stay on blade?

 

[Doralikesmath]

Power of knowledge, lol. Basically after gluing and cutting, I clamped down the bat after gluing with a stack of books for like 2 hours. You have to press the rubber hard before and during cutting as well.

Yeah don't do that, you should glue them within ~24 hrs of the last layer of application, and you can apply each subsequent layer as soon as the previous layer is absorbed.

+1,
I’m trying to measure hardness of rubbers by a (cheap) durometer.
Between As soon as booster dries and 1 day later (waiting), there is a significant difference.
It almost loses all softening effect in 1-2 day.

А FAULT CONFESSED IS HALF REDRESSED.

Bordtennis: Det okända fusket i bordtennisvärlden

Det har enligt källor till SVT Sport pågått ett medvetet fusk i världsbordtennisen i snart 20 år. Och domarna kan inte upptäcka det. – Det är nog ingen världsspelare som inte använder boost, säger tidigare världsmästaren Mikael ”Äpplet” Appelgren.

www.svt.se

The phrase "a fault confessed is half redressed" is not an idiom, but a proverb. It means that by admitting a fault, you have already taken the first and most significant step towards making amends for it. The proverb suggests that acknowledging wrongdoing is a crucial part of resolving the issue.
Essentially, the proverb emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions as the initial and vital step in correcting a mistake. It implies that once a fault is acknowledged, the process of fixing it is already underway, as it removes the barrier of denial and sets the stage for making amends.
