Ok, I never used speed glue before but I want to try it out. All this extra speed and spin sounds exciting! Since non-water based ones will be banned soon no point going there.
After some research on the forum, I see that there are some non-glue ones that give speed glue effect. The one I am interested is called Falco Tempo Booster. There's another one called CTE (what does that stand for?).
These are supposed to last 2w or more which is VERY attractive to me. I would never consider it if I had to remove and re-glue every day.
So how would this work?
I play typically 3 times a week, about 1.5 hours each time. Can I get away by "speed glue"ing it every other weekend and still feel the glue effect? And finally, I could not find a place where I can order Falco stuff from Canada. Pingpong.com sort of has it but I can only get to the page through google.com which is strange. May be they don't carry them anymore. Any US online stores that carry this stuff?

CTE stands for Clean Tune Extra and apparently it can last for a month at a time withoug re gluing and is supposedly very, very good.
There are more Tuners like CTE, Falco, Speed Optimizer, Speed Booster etc. from almost all companies to make up for the speed glue ban. I've heard problems associated with the Falco Temp Booster but I have never tried it. IMO speed optimizer is very good. How it works:- - Prime your rubber sheets with a layer of whatever tuner you want (CTE, Falco etc.) and let it dry for whatever time is recommended on the bottle. - If you want to add another layer do the same again and let it dry. the more layers you put on the more speed & spin you will get. Simple - To glue your rubber to the blade, use whatever VOC - free glue you want to use e.g Butterfly Free Chack, Aqua Energy, Andro free Glue etc. The water based ones seem to adhere better (the disadvantage being the rubber is harder to take off for retuning) You can leave your rubbers on the blade for as long as it takes for the glue effect to wear off. Then you have to take the rubber sheets off and peel off the glue. (this is tricky, but becomes easier over time) The amount you play doesn't really have an affect on the length of time the effect lasts, so with the CTE you could probably play 30hrs a week and still have the effect after 3 weeks. I use BTY Sppeed Optimizer One. I have spare sheets of Bryce Speed I apply it to so I always have a sheet ready to play with. Typically I would tune my rubbers after every week of play and I find it brilliant for my rubbers. |
