Has anyone tried boosting Aurus Prime with good results? Just curious, not sure if it would be too mushy with the ultramax sponge

Or rasanter/bluestorm etc.

Thanks!

I boosted R47. Felt great.

Aurus Prime: unlike R47, it already has a lot of catapult - to me it felt faster than MX-P.

I have boosted Prime and also some friends of mine. I have it on my FH currently but the boosting has worn off.

IT becomes a little softer and there is more catapult effect. One of my friends has observed that while Prime becomes extremely good against offensive players it becomes more difficult to play against choppers / pushers who know what they are doing and who make sure there is always heavy spin on the ball.

My experience is that it becomes rather soft and very catapulty. Great speed on offence but you might not need it - depending on your level. If you are used to boosted Chinese rubber, it might not be so good on the forehand.

Bluestorm Z1 is almost the same thing as Prime but I feel the Tibhar is better in general. IT takes stuning better and it is more refined.

See, I didn't like when I boosted T05 with two layers of Falco Long, too soft. Would one layer of Prime make it too soft? Which one out of T05 and Prime/Z1 is harder?

Then I am pretty sure you would find a tuned Prime too soft.

Out of the three, I do not know which is harder. Z1 and Prime are similar overall. With T05, I do not know because its quality has been hectic around here. I have some friends who bought a couple of sheets from the country's official distributor and the quality was inferior to the sheets they bought a year before. THe older sheets were firmer, the newer ones a little softer with the topsheet having less bite and the sheet produced weaker spin in general.

Sometimes it's old inventory that's why
I've had 10 different t05s come lol
Some were definitely dried and dead topsheet of course I got a replacement after sending hundreds of photos
4 of 10 I ordered were pristine and new as they should be lol but the others had small to major flaws defects

Prime is best-in-practice in "as is" state, for sake of what boosting? It is not hard at all and rocket speed and superior spin...idk

Falco booster is totally different from TRF or Dandoy booster.
There is no real "pro", "prov" or "NT" H3 in the market.
Falco is not a booster
