Spin and spin sensitivity always go together. If you are an early beginner the best rubber is a slow unspinny rubber, but at the firs rubber change (6 months to a year) get a slow spinny rubber i. e. H3(Neo)… Cheers L-zr

Regarding South Korean blades: I think you’re right, got me a Donic J-O Waldner Gold edition, and it is a mighty fine blade. A fast so it will wait faithfully in my closet for now… Cheers L-zr

Yes, change the coach… You can learn fine with just about any rubber. That H3 is difficult is an unam myth. It’s actually much better to start slow and go up in speed… It can be a little slow from position 4 behind the table, but at 1 & 2 it works great. If You are real powerful it will work...

That’s an exaggeration, he probably means that the contact time is very short. The blade can actually help the sensation that the ball is grasped, but of course it’s mostly the rubber. Cheers L-zr

It’s not a huge difference between the two so I would keep it. Who knows it might fit better… Cheers L-zr

Tenergy 05 is unbeatable (can maybe be beaten by Dignics) at a distance. You say you play close to the table with strong spin. That the CV for a typical H3(neo) player. You won’t get a better rubber than that close to the table, but at a distance not so much, it can be a dog but something to...

I’m not sure you can boost a 42 sponge so it becomes 37. I’m not sure how much softer it gets, but I don’t think it’s much. I’d say 4 layers of booster is too much. I would use 2 or 3. But it also depends how thick they are and I am always boosting light. Cheers L-zr

He is OK, just a little obsessed with boosting. But I don’t mind really. This was actually really funny… Cheers L-zr

Agreed, and it is impossible to name a GOAT only best of their time. The prerequisites are all different at different points in history. Cheers L-zr

This is probably because harder rubber is denser and needs more before saturated. But it’s not like speed glue where gas put pressure on the sponge from within but evaporated very quickly. A booster is consisting of mostly paraffin oil that will react the sponge and resolve it. This reaction is...

Absolutely, glued under tension tends to do this… Also the expansion during boosting will fatigue the sponge and thus shrink more than an unbooted rubber. But without the mechanical tension that takes place during play this process is very slow… Cheers L-ze

Rubbers shrink without boosting too… They can sit for a long time in their package, but after usage when removes they have shrunk.. Cheers K-zr

This You can train with a partner without multi ball, except maybe the “week points in my opponent”. This is experience. Find a strong server and ask him to serve to Your FH. And have someone do a FH -FH rally with You. The high BH you can probably also train with someone. I find multi ball...

Ha, ha, Good one Igor… 🤣 But about a month a half late… Cheers L-zr

No such thing, depends on what You need to train… Cheers L-zr
