Yet Another "Better Than Tenergy" post

   Last Sat I played with the top-rated player at our club.  I was using my Tenergy 05 and 802-40 combination.  I lost 2 matches 3-0 and 3-0.  So today I played him again.  I left my normal racket at the Senior Center Friday so I had to play him with my backup racket.  It has IQUL (40 deg) and 802-40 on the same blade as my main racket.  I won 3 matches against him.

This scientifically proves that IQUL is far superior to Tenergy and should become the standard by which all other rubber is judged.

Some of you might not really agree with me so I will explain in detail why IQUL is so much better than Tenergy.

1. Forget built in speed glue effect.  IQUL has built in spin deception.  Most players are used to playing against Tenergy,  ESN Tensors, or boosted H3's.  When faced with my devastating looking opening loop with IQUL they cringe in terror, raise the racket high in the backswing, close the blade almost to the point of being parallel to the table, and procede to block my loop down into the table about half way to the net.  Some players never can make the adjustment, but with those few who do figure it out all I have to do is switch to hitting the loop without all that extra leg drive, without lightning fast wrist snap, and with just slightly decreased arm speed and they are back to blocking it down into the middle of their side of the table.

Pushes are just as effective.  I come in a little high, push down at a 45 deg angle and snap that wrist forward making the paddle just barely graze the ball.  The return pushes are sweet little popups begging to be killed.  Loops off my long pushes fly off my end of the table right at eye-level.  Heck when I execute a dead push with a heavy spin fake the return usually hits a light fixture above the table.  I thought dead spin was just dead, but with IQUL it is really, really dead.

2.  Anti speed glue sound effect.  Using IQUL is like Sato using his sponge.  Hits are just silent.  No clue as to how you really hit the ball.  Heck I have even had a few players see me swing and just turn away from the table assuming I totally missed the ball since they do not hear that crack of rifle fire they are so used to hearing.  The silence of an IQUL vs IQUL Fh to Fh counterlooping rally is truly frightening.  There is even a rumor that IQUL's creators were big Simon and Garfunkel fans and that it is in part a tribute to their favorite song "Sound of Silence".

3. SSME - Swing Speed Modulation Effect (anti-catapult).  If I swing soft the ball goes slowly,  if I swing hard the balls goes slowly,  if I swing really hard the ball goes slowly.  I just can not seem to hit the ball off the table.

4. VART - Variable Angle of Release Technology -   High throw when you need it, low throw when you want it.  There is no one throw.   It just goes everywhere.  

Note: Some people have argued this is actually a result of my own VART (Variable And Random Technique) but I know this is a great feature of IQUL and has nothing to do with me needing to get in more practice.

5. CEST - Cosmotologist Endorsed Sponge Technology  - Who really wants large pores in their sponges or on their faces?  IQUL has perfect pore size.

So in summary what more could one ask for.  The ad says it all. 

"IQUL with built in Spin Deception Effect, Anti Speed-glue Sound Effect, SSME, VART, and CEST.  The new standard in table tennis performance for the U1700 player.
