Yes but my T05 doesn't come curled and if it did so what? See below.Here, we get back to Pnatchwey's favorite ploy. He is disputing the language, rather than the effect of the change made by manufacturers.
1) Pnatchwey agrees that when you stretch the sponge and keep the topsheet stuck to it that this curled up effect produces tension in the topsheet.
The speed glue expands the sponge. So what? See below.2) When a similar effect is obtained by stretching the topsheet and inserting compounds to keep it stretched, he argues that other rubbers which do not have these compounds are operating under similar principles anyway so therefore, there is no tension in the topsheet.
Yes, big air bubbles in the sponge will make it bouncier. I have said this before that the trick to making a good sponge is to have relatively large bubbles in the sponge but the bubbles must be of consistent size and distribution throughout the sponge. This has two benefits. It makes the sponge lighter so when the sponge expands after being compressed, less energy is used to expand the sponge and more can be transferred to the ball. Second, air compresses and returns its energy extremely well. It is used in industry all the time.3) When you put air into the underlying sponge, making the sponge bouncier and increasing the levels of spin and speed because of the sponge's increased ability to be compressed, the fact that it isn't really tension makes it the tension fairy.
But, the rubbers the TT manufacturers sell you are not tensioned. These examples you mention are what you are doing to the sponge after you buy it. Now look below.
I can loop with Reflectoid if I have to. It just takes more effort.And then, to cap it all off, Pnatchwey claims he can loop just as well with Mark V as with Tenergy 05. Well, since he can't loop, that explains that. In the end, it's just another way of saying that we should defer to his inability to be anything other than autistic in his use of language. I wish it made him a better table tennis player but thank God for small mercies.
I said in a previous post that tension is irrelevant and gave an example of tensioning play dough. Just because something is tensioned doesn't mean it is elastic.
Now look through the documents I mentioned. Where do they mention tension? Tension is not used in the formulas for calculating spin and speed after impact. Tension is irrelevant. Elasticity is important. Do the TT manufacturers mention elasticity? No. About, throw, throw angle, throw distance etc. Do the documents use throw in their documents? No. You all just make up myths to explain what you don't understand because you are ignorant.
All of you can say I am a jerk for reminding you how ignorant you are. The only difference between me and the TT manufacturers in this regard is that I will tell you to your face but the TT manufactures still think you all are ignorant by continuing their misleading, false and fraudulent adds. At least I am an honest jerk and after all the sh!t I have taken I really like to take every opportunity to remind you how ignorant you are.
I don't see why NextLevel and UpsideDownCarl insist on remaining ignorant. That goes for a lot of the rest of you.
NextLevel, you better hope an employer never sees this thread.
At least Der Echte is coming around.
