Boosters - Haifu Sea Moon National Yellow vs Falco Tempo Long

[@henrikasbaltulis264]

My booster bottle was outside, and its get frozen. Its is normal?

[@DarioGrd]

Yes, that's normal. That's why I try to avoid ordering a booster in winter, because it can freeze during transport.

[@gurpreetmann6629]

​@@DarioGrd Also boosting during winter effect last only 1 weeks comparing to summer where it last 1 month with both paraffin and baby oil

[@hadyalbagu8615]

i have one question about boosting aswell, when you boost with DHS hurricane 3 neo, should you keep or remove the factory boosted layer? Also if you boost too much, does it separate the top sheet from the blue sponge?

[@DarioGrd]

it is possible to remove only the factory glue, the booster is in the sponge and it will be difficult to remove it. I leave the factory glue, I don't put my own, but go directly with the booster to their factory glue.

[@DarioGrd]

if too much booster is applied, it is possible that the topsheet will separate from the sponge and create bubbles on the rubber

[@tarigomar7982]

Thanks for the review. Just in the right time.

[@DarioGrd]

You're welcome, but check out my newer video on the subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYqcaml4Zq1mjqs

[@JakePlayz07]

Hey I was wondering how long does the effect of booster last in Dignics 09c with falco tempo? And once it wears out can you reboost

[@DarioGrd]

It depends on how often you play and how much booster you put, but you can expect from a month and a half to 3 months. And yes, of course the booster can be reapplied.

[@hadyalbagu8615]

Hi, this is a good and detailed video and i thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. i have a question but i dont know if you can answer. have you ever tried a nittaku acoustic or nittaku violin blade? because i am begginer and i dont know which blade i should get.

[@DarioGrd]

sorry, but I've never tried either of those two blades so I can't help

[@randydu8724]

informative and saves me some time before I try the boosters for my first time. Has anyone tried baby oil to boost rubbers ? if yes, how well did it work ? thanks again

[@DarioGrd]

I'm glad if I helped with the video. As for baby oil, I tried it, and there were no problems, but I always prefer to choose professional boosters. The performance is better and the effect lasts longer.

[@ZERO-BLaMe]

Hola! A partir de cuál dureza de esponja piensas que se puede utilizar refuerzo en los cauchos europeos y que se le pueda sacar mejor provecho? 50°, tal vez 55°? Saludos!

[@DarioGrd]

For myself, I would never decide to boost a sponge softer than 50 degrees

[@druskovic5797]

Does Haifu National Yellow only last for 3-4 weeks? In other video i saw says the boost last 16-30 weeks...

[@DarioGrd]

Yes, after 3 weeks you can feel that it starts to weaken, but after that you can play for another 3 weeks. Which means that after 6 weeks I have to repeat the procedure.

[@druskovic5797]

@@DarioGrd How many times i can reboost? I read that 1-2 times is the max for reboost

[@DarioGrd]

@@druskovic5797 I haven't had a problem with reboost 3-5 times, but after so many hours of play, the topsheet is no longer good for me, but the sponge still seems ok.

Pozdrav Da li si čekao nakon tjuniranja da se gume izravnaju,ako da koliko?

[@DarioGrd]

Pozdrav. Gume su ljepljene 44 sata nakon zadnjeg sloja boostera. I u tom trenutku su još uvijek bile jako zakrivljene, kaj je vidljivo u videu na 5:42 i nije ih baš bilo lako zalijepiti na drvo.

[@mrmf4712]

Question: How much weight did you add to the rubber? You showed 6 grams, was it after the booster was fully dry or still wet?

[@DarioGrd]

Yes, that was after each layer had dried. With each layer approx. 2 grams, but on uncut rubber.

[@tonithecrack]

Really good Video. How often can you reboost the H3 Neo with the Haifu? After 2-3 layer first, it felt very mushy after i boost it again 5 weeks later.

[@DarioGrd]

if it's mushy it means too much booster. either the old one has not evaporated or there is too much of the new one. try with a thinner layer

[@gurpreetmann6629]

​​@@DarioGrd I try outdoor paraffin oil which lasted for 3 weeks on kokataku 868 rubber with springy feel with 3 thich layers and it absorbs really fast in Summer. Each layer 1 hour sponge is totally dry really nice curl Baby oil simply soften sponge with longer effect more than month with 3 thick layers. I think its from rubber to rubber difference I still think outdoor paraffin oil is the best cheap booster out there. Keep in mind the weather effect i live in canada. Summer time is the best. Winter time rubber probably gets hard felling again in 1 week Do you have any Suggestion for cheap booster??

[@DarioGrd]

I've only tried baby oil, I haven't tried paraffin oil, so I don't know what effect it has. A lot of things besides the weather and type of rubber/sponge affect the durability of the booster. It is also very important how often you play and how hard you hit the ball.

[@atomix1927]

Hi, thank you for sharing your impressions. How long do you wait after the last booster layer to glue the rubber onto the blade with hurricane 3 and haifu? 1 week, 2 weeks, until flat again? Thank you.

[@DarioGrd]

Hi. The H3 was glued 44 hours after the last booster layer. And at that moment it was still very curved, as you can see in the video at 5:40, and it was not easy to glue it to the blade. It would definitely be a good idea to wait longer for it to flatten better so that it can be glued more easily.

[@atomix1927]

Thank you. So I see that I am not the only one who is impatient with the hurricanes.

[@DarioGrd]

Oh yes. It makes no sense to me to wait a week for the rubber to flatten out a bit more. The only thing is that then I struggle more with gluing, but I'm ready for that :)

[@eduardlaurentiubaltatu4192]

@@DarioGrd Is it true that if you glue it being curved it also has better properties (the boosting effect is better because the rubber has more tension) vs to glue it when it becomes flat (it losses some of the boosting effect and tension) ? Thank you!

[@DarioGrd]

@@eduardlaurentiubaltatu4192 yes, it's true, but I think it's a small difference

[@fadylord103]

hi would u recommend same rubber setup on fan zhendong super zlc ???

[@DarioGrd]

hi. yes, why not, but it all depends on the type of player who plays with it

[@fadylord103]

@@DarioGrd okay thanks can u provide a link to buy genuine dhs products online ???

[@DarioGrd]

personally I would go in this order: 1. tabletennis11.com 2. contra.de 3. dhs-729.eu they are all in Europe, but the first two ship worldwide

[@Franciscoxds]

any experience with the falco platinum booster?

[@DarioGrd]

sorry, no, but two people who used it told me that they weren't satisfied with it and that the regular one was better for them.

[@Franciscoxds]

I like a faster and softer rubber on my backhand. Im currently using disnic O9c on both sides. Do you think 2 layers on my backhand and 1 layer on my forehand would make my backhand rubber significantly faster and softer when compared to my forehand?

[@DarioGrd]

it will be faster and softer, but not significantly

[@sylwiasaw5013]

Which booster is better ? For european rubbers like Dignigs 05 or Tibhar Evolution mxp? Because i don’t understand Your language.

[@DarioGrd]

At the beginning of each video, I mention that I made subtitles in English and that those who do not understand Croatian can turn on the subtitles.

[@DarioGrd]

For tensor and hybrid rubbers, Falco is better for me.

[@Blackain66]

nice Video i can totally see why u need to boost a H3 ofc but i do not like it on any other rubber i have tried Falco Tempo Long on, even one layer makes the rubbers more mushy and you lose feeling on it just for a lil more speed, especially on a D09c on Viscaria that litle speed increase is not worth the lose of crispiness and nice ball-feeling and the hussle of reboosting if you ask me i expected something more from boosting to be honest and did not like it at all

[@DarioGrd]

I would agree with you. I use booster only for hard Chinese rubbers, for everything else I don't think it makes sense, at least for me.

[@Blackain66]

@@DarioGrd after 3 layers of haifu white how is the H3 compared to the D09c? is it equally fast then or still slower and why do u choose it over D09c, just coz of the durability/money? i was planning to play H3 too but with Falco Tempo Long it feels too mushy on my Viscaria compared to the much crispier better feeling D09c (at least the one in 1,9 which i prefer) so i stick to D09c on forehand too for now

[@DarioGrd]

​@@Blackain66 If a rubber feels too mushy after boosting, it usually means that too much booster has been applied. I have never tried three layers of haifu white, one or maximum two layers is enough for me. D09C and H3 are completely two different types of rubbers and regardless of the booster, the difference will always be felt. Different movements are required, other parts of the body are activated differently during a shot, etc. etc.

[@gurpreetmann6629]

Baby oil effect stays longer more than month its soften the sponge that's all. Outdoor Paraffin oil gives better effect soft springy effect for 2 to 3 weeks really enjoyable.

[@Davyjones5454]

you have gotten the process all wrong. you are suppose to apply the Sea Moon first. Let it dry 24 hours and only then you apply glue. Please read the Sea Monn instruction on the bottle.

[@DarioGrd]

It's not wrong. There are multiple ways to boost and reasons for each method. If you want a stronger booster effect, then apply it directly to the sponge. If you want the effect to last longer, then first apply a thin layer of glue and then the booster.

[@hannesreinhardt1399]

So conclusion for me: top players with top chinese rubbers have to boost (new rubbers) every day since effect changes quickly. Not my cup of tea. I better stay with softer rubbers that not need booster. Best options still: barracuda and g1.

[@DarioGrd]

I agree that a booster is not for everyone and that you need to have patience and will for it, but surely no one boosts a rubber every day.

[@hannesreinhardt1399]

@@DarioGrd ok, not daily, but often. Best rubber probably slightly used one ("break-in") freshly boosted. Thx for your content and reply.

[@hannesreinhardt1399]

I meant, top players will want to use a fresh sheet freshly boosted for every tournament. Next tournament new sheet freshly boosted - maybe a couple hours break-in time practise beforehand.

I know a booster won't help with that, but for certain rubbers it's simply necessary.
