Think I'm Nuts?

I have been playing Tenergy's and some Nittaku rubbers for a few years now and find I lose crucial points due to the speed/spin/control of those rubbers. I found some max thickness Sriver, yes Sriver that I put on my TBS. I glued it up with 3 layers of Elmer's glue and I must say the feeling was fantastic. My loops are landing with much more accuracy with a little less speed (still fast though) and touch for short balls is much better. I don't use Elmer's for the speed glue effect but for the ease of use. A fresh sheet of Sriver is deader than a frozen horse So am I nuts for changing to this setup? 3 layers of Elmer's is gooooood!

Dan Seemiller told me it was real good.

   

I  hope you are using the Elmers rubber cement not the elmers white glue.

There is no impulse, or resulting trajectory, that T05 or other fancy rubbers can generate that these cheaper rubbers can't. You aren't nuts for ditching Tenergy or other fancy rubbers.  You are just nuts for spending all that money on sriver.  BTW,  I think Mark V is better but I don't buy that anymore either.

Your best ever post

I don't care for tacky rubbers regardless of price or brand. No we don't need another Sriver vs Mark V thread..gag a maggot.

I may pay more for Sriver but it lasts longer than your Uncle Bert.

I love Mark V too but it's 2 bucks more Sriver.

I think we need a tread like why Rondell sucks so badly.

Renanos Hold is faster, and spinnier. It is not a very "forgiving rubber especially for service returns. Sriver has better allround control but not as powerful. Renanos Hold is an advanced rubber, I like it but takes more training time to tame.

I am using Elmer's Rubber Cemment. Less than 3 bucks a bottle. Best glue since sliced bread.

If you find solvent thinner, you can homebrew your own speed glue : )

Not as strong as conventional speed glues, but still really nice to play with. x2 Mendo speed glued up on a Clipper is a perfect combo for me
