  1. Im losing faith in the sport

    A few months ago I went through covid and it caused a nasty lung infection that didn't allow me to play for about 5 months. I couldn't even walk up stairs without getting extremely tired and seeing black, gradually I've gone off meds and started to live a bit more normally. I couldn't stay in...
  2. What sealant do you use?

    A friend uses the andro free seal on his Timo boll spirit and I liked how it felt, it didn't harden the blade at all. And now that I glued on some new rubbers for him, I found that the surface is maintained really well, his old rubbers came off easily, but not to the point where they hadn't...

  4. Old and new Hurricane 3 experience

    So I had the chance to play with a new Hurricane 3 neo on a yinhe v14 pro. Compared to mine the topsheet was matte, had a texture and wasn't really tacky at all. It was brand new as well. I didn't like it, I don't know what it was about it, even though the feeling was clear, it was glassy. It...
  5. Is Hurricane 3 an umbrella term?

    Bathroom thought: Hurricane 3 is an umbrella term. Just think about it... You can get it with different sponges/tuning, normal, 3-50, neo and all the blue sponge variants. Different sponge hardness, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42. Thicknesses, 2.1, 2.15, 2.2. The older normal h3 having a...
  6. Can anyone give info on Hurricane Sun?

    Hello guys, I'd like some advice/info on the Hurricane Sun! After selling a few stuff, I've wanted to build a nice Chinese style setup to mess around with, I saw on AliExpress the DHS Hurricane Sun and later found it's also sold on Prott.

  7. Hurricane 3 vs Hurricane 8 for BH

    I remember hearing that Wang Chuqin used hurricane 8 at his bh for a while but then switched to hurricane 3, similar to what the rest of the Chinese team uses. I think Sun Yingsha may be using h8 still on her bh. How is hurricane 8 different to hurricane 3 for backhand use? Also what's up...

  11. Racket feels weird should I boost it?

    I have a yeo with xuperman powerplay x and vega europe. Vega feels just fine but the Xuperman feels kinda vague and velvety, I can't really feel the contact with the ball. Should I boost it or just play with it until I get used to it? Hurricane on the other hand felt really good.
  12. Why do people like Stiga OC?

    Why is Stiga OC so popular? Didn't it come out in the 70's? Shouldn't it be a hard but slow blade with minimal application nowadays? I have an Intensity and Clipper, I can see why people like them, but not the OC. I have experience with Azalea Off, and it is a soft but fast spin monster. What...

  15. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    I keep seeing on many forums people that hate lp's and want them banned. They think that they have an unfair advantage and that they require no skill to use.

  19. How to fix missing damaged top ply, heavy splintering or a heavy hit/dent to the side of the blade.

    Because of the nature of this method being simplistic and focused around practicality only, the blade is not gonna look good when finished. The purpose of it is to reinforce the structure, get it even, straight and get it playing how it used to before getting damaged. 0 - If the blade has lost...
  20. I bought a Viscaria as a begginer. Here's what it did to me and my thoughts on the subject.

    I got my Viscaria in my second year of playing. I used a Adidas premade for about 6~8 months when I first started playing and because I was playing quite a bit the rubbers gave out. I got a Donic Persson Power AR Senso V1 with china/jap hard hybrid rubbers for about 35 euros for the blade and...
