So.... who is boosting tenergy(tenergy users only)

one guy at my club has told me that he is using beer, mixed in with water based glue!!!
he says the hops in the beer soften up the rubber and make it play faster....."like speed glue" !!!

as crazy as that sounds........

I tried it boosted with 2 layers of Falco Tempo Booster Unlimited. I did this for fun for a couple of weeks as an experiment. It's a good rubber unboosted, but changes quite dramatically when boosted.

This may be the funniest post I've ever read on this forum.

I agree, has to be up there. Chuckled quite a bit.

Is Falco booster available in the US? Is it legal?

They are all the same thing. Paraffin oil = lamp oil = kerosene. The only way they can differ is in "quality". I.e., lamp oil vs. ultra pure lamp oil.

 Im a little confused, in your opening poll you have one question that says "no...other" and 3 forum members said yes we do that, my point is a no means no lol so how can you not boost with other products if you don't boost?

yes thaidog is right.... and also i was just leaving my self room to change it to something else if i thought of something later on after i posted it..... it was really just a safety like the first 3 things on the list.... i know they were the same but put them separate anyway

my line of thought was.... at the end of the day, yes means yes and no means no!! count them up and figure out the percentage later, but at the same time find out in more detail what there using...:)

 

I think this 'better performance after boosting/tuning Tenergy' thing rewards +fortitude to those who claimed pros are tuning their Tenergy. Unless I try and experience it myself, I say it's still a myth. 

I tuned all three the 05, 25 and 64...with lamp oil and the 64 seemed to have been the most successful

I had a hit with a tuned Tenegry 05 on a friend's blade today.  This is a really top level player, I will not say more than that and will provide nothing more that could possibly allow identification of this person.  (Don't bother to guess, given the number of players that either live or come through this city or spend a little time here coaching, it could be a very large number of people).  I did not ask the method used for tuning but will endeavor to find out. 

It felt really really good and it sounded different.  I see why professional players do it and it was obvious in the first rally.  And it was not because of the blade.

I am trying an experiment with an old sheet of T05 using a product designed to stop leaks of automobile transmission fluid.

The transmission lead repair fluid made an old sheet of T05 faster and softer.  I prefer it au naturel I think.

1: No.
2: Nothing.
3: Don't know, but I suppose Tenergy is no different then other rubbers,so naturally it will become "better" with boosters/speed glue, but it will also reduce it's life span.
4: Certainly not, boosting is illegal, even if it is made with an "undetectable" method.
5: Yes, and they are very pleased with the effect it has, just like they used to be pleased with the effect tuning/boosting had on their Stiga Boost rubbers.
