Which booster works

what they need to do is just make haifu oil legal again.

What happened to the ITTF investigation of that stuff? weren't they super testing it recently and considering making it legal again?

Really? Well how much is it realistically worth? And yes, I believe that they did mention testing but I really doubt a re-release since it seems that ITTF enjoys banning boosters and any of its relatives.

I hate that these processes exist, but people who know them don't share them. Everything is about making money.

You can bet it does. Apply a thin coat and let dry completely (a few hours). Repeat 2-3 times. It domes the heck out of a rubber, and lasts quite long. Retune 1 coat from time to time, it softens the glue buildup so you only have to apply glue on blade. I don't know if it will pass the test though, I think it probably would.

the drawback is that it's only avail in the 2.2 version. Sterco is a solid BH rubber, but I wouldn't buy it in anything more than 2.0mm (for weight and pushing/shortgame reasons).

still, someone who plays a Japanese MAX rubber should give this a whirl (on FH?) and report back.

Guinea pig, anyone?

as an aside, pronte tuned would have been ridiculously good... imagine a rubber that played close to 999 national blue sponge speed glued...

beeray get 30 dollars out of your pocket and get a decent rubber :) probably cost you that much to land some haifu oil anyway :)?
