Yinhe Big Dipper 39 degrees.
I though that it might replace H3.
Nope, not at all. Much less spin, unfortunately.
H3 forever it seems.

I disagree. No Chinese rubber beats out of the packet god tier spin like Big Dipper!

If that was the case pro players would use it.

why these tape thingies at the bottom of the handles?

I am using it.. oh.. dang.. pro's .. yeah, not me, still paying to play in stead of getting payed

To protect the handle against accidental hits with the table, or better weight distribution, or better grip, or just for the style 😎

Correct - better grip
I feel like I have much more confidence in holding the racket when I have something at the end of the handle - I feel that with those the racket will not slip and not leave my hand

A little lower weight balance is an additional bonus, but not main objective of that

H3 of course is one the most durable rubbers ever made, more sponge hardness options and takes time to break into. That's why I said Big dipper is unmatched right out of the packet, as well as Yinhe J3 Asia.

Bought a Mizutani Super ZLC for the collection! Got it at a discount but I didn't need it at all!

DHS HL5 Golden CPen, DHS H3N Provincial Blue Sponge 42°, BTY Dignics 09c 😎The 42° from PROTT is surprisingly bouncy when I used it a few months ago and it weighed much less than my 41° I bought from PROTT

Tell me more on that DHS H3N 42 from PROTT, I use 40 and I am happy with it - after three layers of booster that is, two right before attaching it the first time, one more 2-3 weeks later. I am afraid to think how many layers of booster that monster need

When I used it on my N301, it was shooting off the blade and the process hardness I used never did that. I boosted it 4 times I believe, but that's good amounts with that hardness? Unweighted with protector on is 73 grams with no booster added 🙂 It's 40 USD so it's a very good price and I don't waiting 2 weeks for it to ship to the US

Did you test it?... Did you buy it with the press machine or only that device?... I'm not sure if buy it or not because I don't know if it will work properly without the press machine

I tested it.. doesn't work well with a dowel/rod to put pressure on it. You need a lot of force to press the knife band through the rubber. I managed to cut the rubber partially here and there.
I guess a press is what you need to use this frame best.

Agree. I find that if I have 2 good boards, I can put the bat between (with handle hanging over the edge obvs} and put the whole thing on the floor and then stand on it. A press would be easier, but so expensive to ship from China. If i was bothered enough, I would look for something similar locally.

That sound like a hassle free solution

 

[Tyce]

Is the edge on that thing not sharp/thin enough then? Applying basically only compressive force to cut through a rubber sounds hard and inefficient, but with a dull blade it's nearly impossible

 

[riemsesy]

it's very sharp but not very thin.. not thick but sturdy.

I bought Stuor 1-ply Hinoki (at least it says so) from Aliexpress for 35 EUR along with Yinhe Moon Mid-hard on BH and Double Fish Volant Phoenix 39 degrees on FH. So far it plays well, although compared to my 729 Blue ALC feeling is strange xD.
