Looks like a new kind of rubber. Not sure how to use it though. Anybody tried this yet?

https://fb.watch/rY08bnXLkA/ This type of serve is the one where I have the most trouble reading. I always freeze when I see my opponent just kinda "swipe" at the ball. I can see that it has side spin. But I'm never sure if it has topspin or underspin. Even in this clip, it looks like topspin...

Recently I have been testing out the D09c, but I just find it wildly hard to control and a bad fit for my FH loop. I think I tend to brush loop the ball more than hit through. I'm very accustomed to Chinese fh rubbers, and those really fit my technique well. But the D09c seems bad for my...

Do you think ESN or Butterfly or Daiki rubbers can achieve even higher amounts of catapult in the future? or are they already at their physical limits? I keep seeing new rubbers come out that don't see very different. G1, MXP, Tenergy are all over a decade old, and yet the new rubbers that come...

Last night I played a really annoying style and totally screwed it up. The guy wasn't a high level player, maybe 1700 and I've seen him lose commonly to lower level players. But I have a problem of freezing up and becoming super hesitant when I'm uncomfortable. First, the thing that troubles...

Is there a better way to judge a ball's push trajectory and length? I think I return a lot of push shots with my own push because I'm afraid the ball will land short. I'm afraid to hit my racket or my hand on the table. Is there a way to judge the push length better?

I found counter-loop to be the hardest shot to practice. It's not like looping underspin where you can just ask your partner to push to you. You need your partner to loop to you and a number of things usually go wrong. 1) partner misses 2) loop is too low 3) loop is out of position. I...

I just saw this review of Sword Paladin Blue. The review is very positive, they say its fast and impressive. But I've never ever heard of this rubber, or even heard any major rubber from Sword. What other rubbers go under the radar and are totally unknown? Are they good?

Clearly we have evidence that LGY illegally uses booster. Also he speaks Japanese, which I didn't know.

Best Chinese alternatives to D05 Tier List What is a tier list? This Tier List ranks readily available and low cost Chinese rubbers according to their performance in matching the standard set by Dignics 05. Rubbers are tiered based on the following factors: Bite on the ball - Higher ranking...

After boosting many rubbers I have found some rubbers have a strong reaction and some have a small reaction. By reaction, I mean a big increase in rebound and performance. I found that Loki GTX and Friendship Aurora had the strongest reaction: 5/5 Rhyzen ZGR had a very good reaction: 4/5...

I was cleaning out my house and stumbled on this old rubber. I believe it must be from 20 years ago, because I definitely didnt buy it in the past 3 years. Its still very tacky and grippy. Maybe i should buy a cheap Kokutaku rubber to pair with it. It feels hard like H40 and maybe it will boost...

My friend is a long time HL5 with D09c/D64 user. But he was curious about Chinese rubbers because of all my equipment. So he ordered a setup I suggested of Loki Arthur Asia and Moon 12 M+ and boosted both sides. LAA boosted very closely replicates D09c. It had very very high speed, and the...

I'm pretty sure #1 and #2 would be Wang Liqin and Ma Long. Not sure who is #3? Fang Bo? FZD?

Today I just tested out these rubbers from a friend. I really liked the Vega X. It seems like a near perfect substitute for Tenergy 05. It has speed, grip, throw angle, good feeling. Seems like a really great choice for bh. The Rakza XX felt really weird to me. The bounce and feeling seemed...

Im very confused about Esn sponge specs. Looking at this photo, which rubber is thicker? To my eye, black looks way thicker. But on the specs, the red is 2.2mm Max G1. Black is 2.15mm Dragon grip. Are my eyes deceiving me? Or are esn specs false?

Has anybody tried seamoon booster on Daiki rubbers such as Hammond Z2 or Victas 07? Have you had issues with bubbling? I'm hesitant to boost these as I don't know if it will lead to bubbling. I know seamoon is generally safe to use on ESN rubbers, but I have heard of some bubbling issues on...

Is there a best ESN hybrid rubber for FH? I've been testing Dragon Grip and Omega China Guang on FH. They seem largely similar to each other. Both are fast, and quite spinny. I've also tested Andro C53 and Joola Dynaryz ZGX. Both are good, but I think the extra bit of hardness at 55d is nice...
