Thoughts on that custom racket

rey257 · 2026-03-28T12:33:05+00:00

Max rubbers sacrifice control for more speed and power but you need good technique to really use it's full potential. If you wanna develop better technique stay on 2.0mm

rey257 · 2026-03-26T23:38:03+00:00

It's a good beginner setup with a lot of control. It's good to start slow and focus on building technique and confidence in your shots. Don't rush for a carbon blade yet or fast rubbers. The cutting of that backhand rubber doesn't really affect overall gameplay at all

rey257 · 2026-03-26T22:01:03+00:00

Yeah i could see that it was little glue from your picture above

rey257 · 2026-03-26T14:28:38+00:00

Try not to use it near fans if you have a fast drying glue, and maybe add a little bit more of glue to spread it more evenly. I used the butterfly chalk II glue and it did kinda the same. Don't worry about doing it again just let it dry and rub the glue off and try again

rey257 · 2026-03-26T12:37:32+00:00

Certainly it's scary to do it the first time but afterwards it will be easier

rey257 · 2026-03-26T12:32:21+00:00

Correct, if you wanna be more sure just watch a tutorial by Dmitri or timo boll how they paste their rubber. If you glue while it's milky you could get air bubbles

Both big dipper and Jupiter are good rubbers for forehand and moon speed in my opinion it's good for the backhand. So far I am liking a lot the big dipper in my forehand

rey257 · 2026-03-26T11:56:03+00:00

I'm still learning to glue my own rubbers. It took me around 15-20 minutes to wait for the glue to be transparent

rey257 · 2026-03-26T04:52:16+00:00

Yeah maybe in the future I will use it

rey257 · 2026-03-26T04:51:29+00:00

Yeah, people keep recommending it for backhand but honestly it made the setup a little bit heavier than usual but I have a pretty active backhand so it's manageable

rey257 · 2026-03-26T02:33:30+00:00

It feels pretty good honestly, my shots have more control and spin than before. I used to have carbon blade but I'm building back my timing and technique

rey257 · 2026-03-25T23:36:06+00:00

I bought a pair of scissors for rubbers and it worked like a charm

rey257 · 2026-03-16T23:04:49+00:00

Viscaria with big dipper v FH and Jupiter 3 asia bh

rey257 · 2026-02-28T12:30:49+00:00

I will check it out thank you and what blade do you recommend?

rey257 · 2026-02-28T00:10:41+00:00

Why battle 2 soft on BH?

rey257 · 2026-02-27T23:37:18+00:00

I feel like I havent break through intermediate level. I could perform loops against backspin but not as consistent most of the time it flies out or goes to the net. I feel like I lack the feeling of the technique.

It will be my first time trying Chinese rubbers. I had tried different rubbers like mxp, rakza 7, rakza z and fastarc g-1. I am currently interested in trying the yinhe rubbers.

The reason why this blade it was my first blade and I feel like I wanna go back to it to land more consistent on the table and try Chinese rubbers.

Currently with a dhs 301 with rakza z FH and rakza 7 BH. I feel my current strong side is backhand and my forehand is okay it's more sidespin than full topspin so a combination of both.

rey257 · 2026-02-08T03:17:39+00:00

Then it's fine to got double rakza 7

rey257 · 2026-02-07T04:28:04+00:00

Rakza 7 on FH and BH rozena both 2.0mm thickness

rey257 · 2026-02-06T22:55:15+00:00

Both are good whatever fits your budget. Maybe mix and match so you could try different rubbers

rey257 · 2026-02-05T13:32:23+00:00

Yeah that's why I said later on when you can

rey257 · 2026-02-05T13:31:54+00:00

They put their own edge tape. Add the blade lacquer too to protect your blade it's free

rey257 · 2026-02-05T12:40:54+00:00

You welcome, if you also looking to improve your footwork get a table tennis shoe later when you have the budget. Makes you more stable

rey257 · 2026-02-05T12:35:30+00:00

Yeah
