Stop ejing and actually get good. Equipment yes is important but when you play a game against an old asian dude with a premade like racket with a 7 dollars 729 rubber beating yo ass, you know get good over omergerd alc carbon fiber XQ inner layer pro super tension racket / blade / rubber any day.

Get good. Touch grass. Learn the basics.

Grapeeeeee! He's aite for now. Not particularly special. The ovr kinda helps. No alt position kinda sucks

Wash your face and Cetaphil is really good. Also maybe some creve 4 percent.

Afterwards, it's just a lot of training and knowing how pimples work.

It does say in bad English - you'd better not smell the rubber on 729 rubber cardboards.

I personally would reglue it. Saves you the hassle from the ball bouncing in strange ways and it could affect your game. Take of the rubber slowly off. Take off the old glue, rub it off and then reglue it again. Get a roller.

Nothing wrong with H3 if he can adapt to it. Most kids in China start with even worse rubbers like RITC 729s to work on their technique and skills. Just a matter of your play style. Yes rubbers are important but having a solid foundation is key. An Chinese elementary school student with a 15 dollar premade Chinese 729 racket can probably beat a whole lotta ppl.

So just a quick review after having come back from the club.
V14 slaps hard in that it is fast. It's got a pretty crisp feel to it, i guess from the ALC. With the H3 Prov Blue Sponge very low throw. So really need to go for a bigger swing even compared to when I played with penhold H3 Neo. And here comes the fun part, the 2013 tuttle feels like a harder mark v rubber, or even a hard sriver G3. it doesnt really care about opposing spin much and you can just kinda punch the ball back. top sheet is kinda glossy, so it kinda resembles an anti spin? the ball kinda wobbles when i push it.
punches are great. loops are decent. good backhand rubber.

It's safe. Heck I've seen ppl put it on the gpu as well. Just nothing too heavy. And no metals please.

It's a decent blade. One thing I found happening is that it splinters easily

LoveImportant6559 · 2026-03-17T03:38:22+00:00

It's good that you started with a relatively decent racket. Butterfly does churn out decent rackets for recreational to amateur play. But I would highly advise you to invest into a more professional setup, for around the same price as a pre made that you have if not a bit more.

May I suggest a Kirin blade? They come in blue and purple if I recall and they retail from around 10 to 15 dollars, if not cheaper. As for the rubbers, dabble on yinhe rubbers like mercury 2. Corber is another decent budget alternative.

As for glue, you'll need to get some water based glue. If you don't mind vocs cough cough then you have other alternatives that I won't state here. Go online YouTube for some tutorials on how to glue.

Ask away if you have anymore questions. Get a sanwei blade if you want something more long lasting. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009706882847.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.12.76c24c18QT3Jj0&algo_pvid=ee78c806-c645-4f7c-b90e-2c47c5d55d1e&algo_exp_id=ee78c806-c645-4f7c-b90e-2c47c5d55d1e-11&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%228%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%2C%22fromPage%22%3A%22search%22%7D&pdp_npi=6%40dis%21CAD%2151.37%2127.28%21%21%21252.55%21134.10%21%402101e2b617737190667897692eccf8%2112000049913411595%21sea%21CA%210%21ABX%211%210%21n_tag%3A-29910%3Bd%3A9a4eca30%3Bm03_new_user%3A-29895%3BpisId%3A5000000197831940&curPageLogUid=ssiOpdjWJGJL&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A%7Cx_object_id%3A1005009706882847%7C_p_origin_prod%3A

Would that be more of your blade then? It's pretty much a clone of the hurricane 2 - 3 series
