I put 3 layers of home made booster, 6 hours each layer to make the rubber heavily domed then stick it to blade. Then press the blade between 2 books with a 25litre water tank ontop of the book over ~8hour 😂
Thank you for your tutrial. It 's usefull,because I just bought one, Ma Long version. I followed your tutorial at other video for boosting the rubber. This is my first time using Chinesse rubber. I was supprised that it needs the booster before using. So your tutorials helped me a lot. I put the rubber onto Harimoto blade. And no issue.. Thank you.
1 mistake that many ppl make is waiting for the rubber to reverse dome to nearly flat before stick it to blade. The boosted effect will be nearly went off if you do that, plus you waste a lot of time waiting 😂
Letting the rubber flatten down doesn’t mean the effect is gone as the sponge is still expanded. The effect will still be there abs last at least a few weeks
Hi, thanks for the question. The golden viscaria is very hard to find currently as there are limited production. The only source available I know of is from China which you can purchase if you are using Taobao App. But it's price currently is easily more than SGD$1,000.
Hi. Thanks for the comment and question. Removing plastic sheet before boosting allow the rubber to curl more freely. But for my own preference I like to leave it on until I complete the glueing to my blade because I dont wanna risk damaging the rubber accidentally with the booster oil or glue.
If you play 8-10 hours a week your boosted DHS rubber will not last more than 3 months, it will start to develop bubbles (top sheet pimples will start to break off from the sponge layer)

Hi, do you believe just one layer of glue on the Hurricane is enough? How good is DHS #15 on gluing boosted rubbers? I once tried to glue a boosted Hurricane 3 Provincial Blue Sponge with Tibhar Clean Fix, I used four layers on the sponge, put under heavy books for one night and the next day the edges came off easily...
Thanks for sharing your experience. The DHS 15 seems good for gluing the boosted Hurricane 3 with just one layer of glue. I haven't faced any issue of the rubber peeling off from the edge. Same for the setup in this video. However, for my stiga cybershape as I had seal it with lacquer, I do experience the rubber not being able to glue firmly near the edges so I had to apply 2 layers of glue on the blade itself.
@@ttpassion same happened to me the first time but the following times I just waited a few days until the rubber became flat again and then glued to the blade without issues.
it depends on the amout of glue you brought since the 98ml is a lot thicker than the 500ml, so it usually only takes 2-3 glue layers, but with the 500ml dhs glue, i usually use 4 layers in total
Gustavo. the best glue for heavy boosted Hurricane is TEAR MENDER, like you said put under book over night and no problems. very easy to remove rubber for next boost. Glue does not penetrating rubber and easy to take glue off in one peace.
Hi. Thanks for your question. To be honest, I don't feel any difference compared to the provincial ones that I used. Maybe my skill level not there yet.
@@tabornoktabonsuka Hi, thanks for the question. I play about twice a week and the rubber can last me for quite long. For myself, I will use for about 6 months before changing. But every month I will reboost the rubber just with 1 layer of booster again if I feel it's quite 'dead'.
Hi Tim, it's not new. In China, they produce national players version that are used by specific players. It's not widely available in the market but can be bought from China. However, need be sure to buy from reputable sellers to avoid getting fake ones.
Hi Singaraju, you can check out tabletennis11.com or tt-japan.net that sells the Hurricane 3 national version. But you will need to check if they ship to your country. However, for chinese national team player version it is very difficult to get and I think it is only available in China market or through their online shopping App "Taobao".
Hi fao filly, it depends on the original weight of your blade. My vis golden original is 95g. Sealing normally adds about 2 to 3grams more if just a thin layer.
Never lay the whole blade with handle on a plane surface and the apply pressure. Always leave the handle hanging out and the blade surface totally flat. So you avoid damaging your bat.
It is clearly much too expensive in proportion to your level. In 4 months you have presented more than 2000€ of products... but, it's your money. I hope at least that you were able to define your favorite material and that you are able to advise us on which one to choose according to our style of play? Viscaria / HL5... the big dilemma 😁 Moreover the Golden version, Nationals version, etc... are not necessary for 99% of the players. The pros get paid to play, we don't. 😅
Hi Equaaz, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Great suggestion on adding my recommendation on which blade to choose based on individual style of play. I'd include that in my future reviews of blades. Anyway, I'm just happy to collect these equipment and try them out while sharing my experiences with everyone and hopefully that benefits some one who is also planning to get the same equipment. I agree that some of the equipment I share will be suitable for most players due to it's pricing, but I'm certain it does provide valuable information to some who are deciding whether to spend or not to spend on an expensive blade. Take care. Cheers!

Nice video! When reboosting do you remove the glue layer and apply booster? or apply booster just write on top? thanks
Thanks for the compliment. I will always remove the glue layer and reapply the booster.
hi, should you have allowed the rubber for 2 more days after 3rd boosting to flatten in order to avoid curling up after gluing?
Hi Ken, yes, that is also possible if not in hurry to use it. Normally, I don't as I can't wait to play. Haha
hi thanks for the video , please i have question where can i find golden viscaria ?
Hi, thanks for the question. The golden viscaria is very hard to find currently as there are limited production. The only source available I know of is from China which you can purchase if you are using Taobao App. But it's price currently is easily more than SGD$1,000.
you leave plastic sheet on rubber until rubber is one the blade. I see some remove the plastic protector sheet before boosting. I wonder why?
Hi. Thanks for the comment and question. Removing plastic sheet before boosting allow the rubber to curl more freely. But for my own preference I like to leave it on until I complete the glueing to my blade because I dont wanna risk damaging the rubber accidentally with the booster oil or glue.
how long normally the booster effected on rubber? need to reboost back for 5 or 6 month?
Hi. If you play around 4 to 6 hours each week, I'd recommend to boost again with just 1 layer every 4 to 6 weeks.
If you play 8-10 hours a week your boosted DHS rubber will not last more than 3 months, it will start to develop bubbles (top sheet pimples will start to break off from the sponge layer)
How much cost for the rubber fzd version?
Hi Shahrul. Thanks for the question. For those national player's rubber version, it cost roughly SGD $150
what is the difference between normal viscaria and golden viscaria?

Hi ! Do i need to put more layer of glue if it s not an aquatic one ?
@@VL-pw7qf Hi. What do you mean by its not an aquatic one?
thumbs up for FZD setup, im using FZD limited edition as well DHS 3 haha 23 degree
Thanks for the comment. Is there 23 degree? I thought the softest they have is 37.
@@ttpassion Hi sorry that was a typo. I meant to say 42 degree, 2.1mm thickness.
@@tsc7589 i see.. nice. Do you boost your rubber too?
Any blade prep? Varnish or sanding?
Hi. Thanks for the question. No, doesn't need to for butterfly rackets.
how is the feel of the hurricane 3 national after boosting?
Hi. Thanks for your question. To be honest, I don't feel any difference compared to the provincial ones that I used. Maybe my skill level not there yet.

symbol is on the backhand side? does it make any difference? because I've been placing the symbol as the FH side always.
Hi Tim, thanks for your question. No it doesn't make any difference.
FZD version of H3? Sorry, I've never seen different versions of it. Is this something new?
Hi Tim, it's not new. In China, they produce national players version that are used by specific players. It's not widely available in the market but can be bought from China. However, need be sure to buy from reputable sellers to avoid getting fake ones.
Luckily you uses that dhs #15 glue. You should have waited few more days for the H3 to be completely flat.
Hi riemikes, yea. But I'm not patient enough to wait. Haha. Will try that when I have more time to boost it.
Nice job.
Re-using Dignics from other blade ?
Hi, that's right. Not from butterfly blade hence the cut was smaller.
How and where do I get national version of hurricane 3

How much weight of racket with seal ? Viscaria golden
Hi fao filly, it depends on the original weight of your blade. My vis golden original is 95g. Sealing normally adds about 2 to 3grams more if just a thin layer.
@@ttpassion i have viscaria golden is 96g with seal, and if i remove it how much will it weigh?
Hi, probably 93g? But i wouldn't recommend removing it though. Might risk damaging the wood.
@@ttpassion oh thanks. I appreciate the information and advice you have shared.
Wow golden viscaria exp?
Yes. It's really expensive. 🤣
@@ttpassion so u got lots of blade
Yes, mostly for collection as hobby.
Never lay the whole blade with handle on a plane surface and the apply pressure. Always leave the handle hanging out and the blade surface totally flat. So you avoid damaging your bat.
