Did you notice a change in the sound when you hit the ball? I have unboosted rubber and when I hit the ball I don't get that crack sound like the pros seem to get. You mentioned you didn't bottom out. Did you mean you didn't feel the wood under the sponge when hitting it hard?

I Didn’t feel the wood under the sponge. That’s what I meant by not bottoming out. The crack or tick sound happens when you catch it right 👍the boost makes it more dynamic 👍 thanks for the comment

@@TableTennis4Fun-1 That's good to know. Played a bloke the other week and he was using Butterfly Glazer. The crack of the sound of his bat made me suspicious. He won 3-0. He recently changed rubbers and must have boosted his bat. I have beaten him before.

The issue with boosting and the rules is that because the booster can expand the sponge, you effectively have to measure every single racket at every single event. Otherwise players with boosted rubbers can use something that can out perform any rule abiding rubber simply because it's thicker. A lot of the suspensions you see at the top level are for being over max thickness. But of course at lower levels literally no one is measuring rubber thickness and are relying almost exclusively on manufacturers measurements.

For high level players to be getting caught out with over max thickness bats is a daft oversight on their player's side. Not checking for this at lower level tournaments is a debatable matter. The tool to do this is cheap readily available and quick to use. It’s called a vernier gauge

@@TableTennis4Fun-1 I think the reason top level players get caught is because it's an ongoing chemical process. Plus, yes it's a bit negligent. But whatever the reason, if you look at the sanctions or disqualification list, it's one of the most common reasons.

@@samlookthat’s an interesting look at it, I think what I will have to do is test and experiment with it and see how much it does swell after a given period of time does it get bigger or smaller from week to week I think we will do a video on this 👍 thank you for the comment and we will definitely look into this

Fyi: Falco tempo booster is NOT the correct type of booster for Chinese sponges. The booster you're using is specially meant for Euro/Japanese sponges. The booster you want for Chinese sponges is called Haifu Seamoon Booster. You need to do 3-4 layers of it as well. This means that you have to wait at least 24 hours between each layer. This will give you the correct results.

The Chinese use blue sponge versions of the H3 NEO, just so you know. The top Chinese professionals use 41.5 degree (DHS Scale. Equivalent to about 54 or 55 degrees in Euro/Japanese sponge terms. They use different scales, just in case you aren't already aware) blue sponge Hurricane 3 NEO rubbers. They boost them with a special Haifu National booster as well. They come at a much higher cost than the commercial versions of the H3 NEO and Haifu Seamoon booster. But, at the same time, you do get much higher quality. I am a low-level professional. If you ever need any help, or have any questions, you may use postage of the electronic sort. Just make an inference on the name (it's exactly the same spelling) and use the domain that begins with the 7th letter. Cheers!
