Pros using Tensor?

no waldner actually uses JO waldner on both sides... in fact it doesnt say on the donic site that he uses desto, it just sort of implies it..  but it is common knowledge that he uses JO waldner on both sides.

JM saive uses revolution cor, a tensor rubber, but he glues it. people misuse the word tensor, they think it is a rubber with speed glue incorporated, but it is actually just a rubber technology. joola was the greatest source of this misconception when they came out with tango extreme, which is a tensor ruber that also has speed glue effect incorporated

Ma Lin uses Yasaka NEW ERA.
It'a a tensor rubber and it isn't speed-glueble.
(I use it too  ...and u all should try it.)

New era is cheap but it's the best tension rubber i ever tried.
It has a hard sponge and a tacky surface. it gives much spin, more than any other rubber i tryed (like bryce with speed glue).
The hard sponge may cause problems for top spins against back spins, but it's fantastic for blocks and fast top-spins.
It's a rubber that gives its best when u play near the table, and counter-top-spins comes very easy.
It was many years that i wanted to stop glueing, but i coldn't find the right rubber that could give me the same feeling of speed-glue. I tryed the desto's, the thibar tensors and others... but they were all so ... "weird". New Era is different.
I use it on my FH, on a Bty Schlager Carbon OFF+
I see that noone in this forum uses it.... but did someone tried it?
U'll love it.

Well, I meant "i wanted to stop speed-glueing", of course.

Now I use NORMAL glue just the first time i put the rubber on the blade.

Btw, for "useing SPEED glue" i mean to speed-glue the rubber everytime before u train or match.
Yasaka says that is not recomended to use speed glue for new era.

i'd recommend stiga energy, its the best i've ever used. i've heard that stiga carbon speedglue is good too, so you might want to try that.

Omega 3 rubber RSM is using is a Tensor rubber, but it isnt a tensor bios one. It is meant to be speed-glued. Omega 1 & 2 are tensor bios on which you shouldnt use speedglue. Xiom recommends using adhesive sheet to put Omega 1, 2 onto blades.

wtf...............if u read it carefully, it sez speedglue will be banned in September 2007 :x

Butterfly is selling "New Quick", the sticky sheet. I heard Xiom is about to release their own product.

i havent used the "new quick". but i have read a tester's review on it.

i don't know what kind of price you can get a sheet at. but new quick is quite dear(over 3 dollars) in korea. so i use normal double sided tapes. as i post in "double-sided tapes" thread, its very crucial to pick the right tapes. new quick is not very easy to remove as well, i heard.
