SpeedUp Pro booster user manual

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 13:36:00 -0300

SpeedUp Pro is here for those who are not satisfied with the standard. If you scanned the QR code on the bottle, welcome to the more elastic side of power. If you got here through the 360TT blog, sit down, because class is in session.

This is not just another generic booster: it is a formulation designed to penetrate deep into the sponge and give back what a lot of rubbers lose over time: dwell time, deep arc and that catapult effect that makes the ball leave the racket “glued” to it until the very last millimeter. But, like any high-performance tool, the Pro demands method. Follow this guide and transform your rubber without losing control along the way.

SpeedUp Pro is the opposite proposal to SpeedUp X: instead of preserving firmness, it softens and “releases” the sponge to generate more spin and more arc on the topspin.

Phase 1: surgical preparation (cleaning)

Before thinking about elasticity, we need cleanliness. The Pro’s oil has to penetrate the sponge, and layers of old glue are barriers that prevent even absorption.

New rubbers: they usually come ready. You can skip to Phase 2.
Used rubbers: you must remove 100% of the old glue from the sponge.

Expert tip

Is the glue hard to remove? You can use a little SpeedUp Pro itself to soften the old layer. Another professional solution is to apply our EasyGlue glue (white version) over the old glue; its formula helps create a single film that makes removal easier without damaging the sponge.

Phase 2: applying it to the sponge

With the sponge clean and free of glue, let’s start the treatment. Thanks to the oil’s low viscosity and to the spray, which spreads the product in an ultra-thin, even film (no thick drops, no waste), the 30ml bottle of SpeedUp Pro goes a long way, even with generous doses.

Step by step

Application:
- On rubbers that are already cut: 12 to 15 sprays.
- On new rubbers, still square (not cut): 15 to 20 sprays, since there is more sponge area to cover.
Massage: cut a small piece of the applicator sponge provided. Spread and rub the product well, pressing on the rubber’s sponge to help absorption. The Pro’s ultra-thin formulation penetrates quickly, so work with light, constant movements.
Working time: let it work for 2h to 4h between coats. Note: the criterion here is different from what you may be used to. The sponge must be dry to the touch, not necessarily dry to the eye. Don’t judge by sight, judge by your finger.

How many coats should you apply? Since it is a very thin oil, with less mass per spray, we recommend 3 coats for the ideal result in elasticity and catapult. Went beyond that, my friend? You have left the tested and approved comfort zone and entered a lawless land, where the only guarantee is your own courage (and the integrity of the ball).

360TT safety alert

The recommended limit is no more than 20 sprays per coat and no more than 5 coats. That said: only a madman, or someone who truly isn’t afraid of waking up with an impossible-to-control catapult racket, would get to 5 coats. Consider yourself warned. 😄

Bubbles and lifting

Each coat makes the sponge stretch more and more. The problem is that the top sheet does not keep up with this growth at the same speed, and this mismatch is what increases the tension on the glue line. As a result, the ever stronger impact of the ball when you hit a drive can favor the appearance of bubbles. That is why you should respect the recommended number of coats: the goal is extra elasticity, not a ruined rubber.

Material sensitivity

Note that rubbers react in different ways:

Sensitive rubbers (tensioned, porous European/Japanese): they already have a more pliable sponge, so the Pro’s effect tends to be faster and more intense. Use it in moderation so you don’t lose control.
Dense rubbers (Chinese/hard sponge): they are the Pro’s ideal target audience, since it penetrates deeply to soften stiffer structures. They may benefit from more coats to reach the ideal elastic effect.

Phase 3: professional assembly

Once the treatment is done, you will notice the rubber has become visibly softer and more pliable to the touch, the sign that the elasticity has been released in the sponge structure.

When the sponge is dry to the touch (remember: to the touch, not to the eye) and shows no traces of oil, it is ready to be glued.

The official recommendation

After releasing so much elasticity in the sponge, the choice of glue is what will define the final character of your setup. We have two recommendations, depending on your style:

EasyGlue Carbon: for those who want to balance the Pro’s extra softness with firmness and precision. The glue creates a more direct connection, holding back a little of the released elasticity and giving back that precise, crisp feel on fast balls.
EasyGlue Green+ (2026 release): for those who want to go the opposite way and extract the absolute maximum catapult effect and dwell time, adding the glue’s elasticity to the elasticity already released by the booster. This is the pair for those who think only about topspin with a deep arc.

If the rubber is very pliable and you have trouble gluing it, contact our team. We are here to help.

Now it’s your turn. Assemble your racket, go to the table and feel the wonderful sound and deep arc on your very first topspin. Enjoy your training!

At 360TT, it’s quality by players, for players.

Stop "Licking" Your Racket: Let's Raise the Level of Our Vocabulary?

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 21:26:00 -0300

Brazilian table tennis is going through an incredible phase. We have world-class idols, top-level equipment and a passionate community. But we need to have a serious (and slightly painful) conversation about our vocabulary (the Portuguese one, that is).

It seems we’ve been invaded by a legion of “Google Translate parrots”. Plenty of good people keep repeating terms that, besides being wrong, border on the comical. Today I decided to play the “annoying friend” so we can look at three linguistic crimes you probably commit (or hear every day at the table).

1. “I’m going to change my lâmina” (careful not to cut yourself)

Friend, if you call your racket a “lâmina” (the Portuguese word for a razor blade), I sincerely hope you’re wearing protective gloves.

This happens because, in English, the wooden part is called the blade. The automatic translator, which doesn’t play table tennis, translates it as “lâmina” (as in a razor blade or a microscope slide). But let’s be honest: calling a structure of 7 plies of noble wood, carbon and an FL handle a “lâmina” hurts the ears.

🤓 360TT technical view

The correct term here is MADEIRA (Portuguese for “wood”; or just blade, if you want to be international).

“Lâmina” implies a single cutting surface. A table tennis blade is a technological “sandwich” of pressed layers (sheets, or plies). The correct terminology honors the engineering of the material.

2. The so-called “hexagonal racket” (geometry sends its regards)

I think this mistake is the pirates’ fault. Stiga launched the novelty Cybershape. Then the copycat “factories” looked at it, were too lazy to count the sides and called it: “raquete hexagonal” (hexagonal racket).

And the Brazilian table tennis player embraced it. But let’s go back to 5th grade for a second? No jokes, okay…

A hexagon has 6 sides. Count the sides of the head of your “different” racket.

Top, upper diagonals, straight sides, lower diagonals… Oops! It went past 6 a long time ago.

🤓 360TT technical view

Geometrically, the Cybershape (and its copies) has 7 visible sides in the playing area, which would make it a heptagon. But we have to count the base of the handle as a side (where the rubber’s lettering is), and with that it becomes an irregular octagon.

Calling it hexagonal is a gross observation error that oversimplifies a complex impact-area distribution technology. Still in doubt? Remove the rubber from the lâm… oops, madeira, and count the sides. You found 8, right?

3. “Ponto doce” (what does it taste like?)

We’ve reached my favorite. The famous sweet spot. In English, sweet in this context means “smooth”, “just right”. But then they translated it word for word as “ponto doce” (literally “sweet point”, as in sugar-sweet).

Honestly, does your rubber taste like strawberry? Do you lick your racket after a winning drive? If the answer is no, stop saying that your racket’s “ponto doce” is good.

🤓 360TT technical view

The correct technical term is IDEAL IMPACT AREA (in Portuguese, “área de impacto ideal”) or even CENTER OF PERCUSSION (“centro de percussão”).

It is the region of the blade where vibration is minimal and energy transfer to the ball is maximal. There is no taste involved whatsoever, it’s pure wave and vibration physics.

Precision in speech, power in play

It may look like I’m just nitpicking (with a bit of humor, come on…), but precision in our terms reflects how seriously we take our sport. At 360TT, we are obsessed with this technical precision.

It is this same obsession with detail that led us to develop the SpeedUp X booster. While some people are busy translating wrong, we were in the lab creating a booster that truly delivers speed and spin, with no “papo furado” (empty talk). If you want to stop making mistakes at the table (and in your vocabulary), count on the people who understand the science behind the racket.

SpeedUp X Booster User Manual

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 20:02:00 -0300

SpeedUp X is for players who won’t give up precision, even under pressure. If you scanned the QR code on the bottle, you’ve found the booster that delivers power without losing a firm touch. If you got here through the 360TT blog, get ready to understand the technology behind the brand’s new generation of optimizers.

Unlike traditional treatments, which usually soften the sponge to gain speed, SpeedUp X takes a different path: it works on the structure of the material to generate propulsion without compromising the original firmness (stiffness) of the rubber. The result is a lethal attack with the same direct, solid response you already know, without that feeling of “excessive softness” that gets in the way of control. As a bonus, the formula also improves the glue’s grip on the sponge, helping prevent that annoying lifting at the edges of the rubber.

SpeedUp X is the opposite approach to SpeedUp Pro: while the Pro penetrates deep to make the sponge extremely elastic and pliable, the X preserves the structural firmness for solid, direct strokes. If you are looking for the middle ground between the two approaches, SpeedUp 360 is the in-between choice.

Phase 1: surgical preparation (cleaning)

Before thinking about speed, we need cleanliness. The booster has to penetrate the sponge, and layers of old glue are barriers that prevent even absorption.

New rubbers: they usually come ready. You can skip to Phase 2.
Used rubbers: you must remove 100% of the old glue from the sponge.

Expert tip

Is the glue hard to remove? You can use a little SpeedUp X itself to soften the old layer. Another professional solution is to apply our EasyGlue glue (white version) over the old glue; its formula helps create a single film that makes removal easier without damaging the sponge.

Phase 2: applying it to the sponge

With the sponge clean and free of glue, let’s start the treatment. The 60ml bottle of SpeedUp X has an applicator nozzle (no spray here) and a safety cap.

Step by step

Application: draw a generous “X” of SpeedUp X on the sponge, covering the whole surface well.
Massage: cut a small piece of the applicator sponge provided and use it to spread and rub the product in well, pressing on the rubber’s sponge to help absorption.
Waiting time: unlike other boosters in the line, SpeedUp X has a high-viscosity formula, which means a longer curing time. Let it work for at least 12h, but the ideal is to wait 24h per coat for a complete effect. The sponge must be dry to the touch, with no trace of oil.

How many coats? We recommend 2 coats for the ideal result: power with the firmness intact. Went past 3? Good luck. You’ll need it.

360TT safety alert

The recommended limit is 3 coats at most. Go beyond that and you are no longer optimizing the rubber, you are challenging physics, and physics, historically, always wins.

Bubbles and lifting

As with any booster treatment, applying too many coats can increase the tension between the sponge and the top sheet, making bubbles more likely to appear. This risk is the same with any booster, regardless of the formula. What SpeedUp X reinforces is something else: the glue’s grip on the sponge, helping prevent it from coming loose on the underside with use. But that does not replace being careful with the number of coats.

Material sensitivity

SpeedUp X has an interesting profile precisely because it does not push the sponge to a single extreme:

Sensitive rubbers (European/Japanese): they are naturally softer already. The X helps keep them from becoming even looser, preserving response and control even with the gain in power.
Dense rubbers (Chinese/hard sponge): if you like the natural firmness of these rubbers, the X is excellent: it adds speed without softening what already works well.

Phase 3: professional assembly

Once the treatment is done, you will notice the rubber has curved, forming a dome. The rule here is the same as with SpeedUp 360: the higher the dome, the more tensioned and faster it has become.

When the sponge is dry to the touch and shows no trace of oil, it is ready to be glued.

The official recommendation: EasyGlue Carbon

To unlock 100% of SpeedUp X’s potential, the combination is essential: the stiffness of the carbon particles in EasyGlue Carbon complements the firmness preserved by the booster treatment, creating a setup with maximum speed and absolute precision.

Since SpeedUp X reinforces the glue’s grip on the sponge, successive coats of booster can make that grip more sensitive. If you have any trouble when gluing, contact our team. We are here to help.

Now it’s your turn. Assemble your racket, go to the table and feel the explosive power without losing precision on your very first attack. Enjoy your training!

At 360TT, it’s quality by players, for players.

SpeedUp 360 booster user manual

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 17:03:00 -0300

If you just scanned the QR code on the bottle of your new SpeedUp 360, congratulations: you now hold the right tool to unlock the full potential of your equipment. If you got here browsing the 360TT blog, get ready for a technical lesson.

We will show how our universal booster works (it acts on any brand or type of rubber, including pips!) and, most importantly, how to apply it safely so your racket does not become uncontrollable.

SpeedUp 360 is technology and science working for your game. But, like any high-performance tool, it requires method. Follow this guide to get a “national team level” result.

Phase 1: surgical preparation (cleaning)

Before thinking about speed, we need cleanliness. The booster has to penetrate the sponge, and layers of old glue are barriers that prevent even absorption.

New rubbers: they usually come ready. You can skip to Phase 2.
Used rubbers: you must remove 100% of the old glue from the sponge.

Expert tip

Is the glue hard to remove? You can use a little SpeedUp 360 itself to soften the old layer. Another professional solution is to apply our EasyGlue glue (white version) over the old glue; its formula helps create a single film that makes removal easier without damaging the sponge.

Phase 2: applying it to the sponge

With the sponge clean and free of glue, let’s start the treatment. A bottle of SpeedUp 360 goes a long way: it treats up to 10 rubbers (one coat) or up to 6 rubbers (two coats).

Step by step

Application: spray an even coat of 8 to 12 sprays onto the sponge.
Massage: cut a small piece of the applicator sponge provided. Spread and rub the product well, pressing on the rubber’s sponge to help absorption.
Waiting time: let it work until there is no visible trace of the product. The sponge should be “dry to the touch”. This usually takes 12 to 24 hours.

Want more speed? Once it is completely dry, if you want even more speed, apply a second coat following the same process.

360TT safety alert

Don’t get carried away! We do not recommend more than 15 sprays per coat, or more than 3 consecutive coats. If you overdo it, the rubber can become excessively fast and almost uncontrollable. Balance is the secret.

Material sensitivity

Rubbers react in different ways:

Sensitive rubbers (soft European/Japanese): they react quickly. They may be ready in less than 12 hours, as long as there are no traces on the sponge.
Dense rubbers (Chinese): hard sponges are less permeable. They may need a longer wait and, sometimes, more coats to reach the ideal effect.

Phase 3: the secret trick (reviving the top sheet)

SpeedUp 360 is not only for the sponge. It also revitalizes the surface (top sheet), restoring grip to a rubber that already feels tired.

Deep cleaning: clean the surface thoroughly with our SpinUp cleaner to remove sweat and grease.
Light application: apply only 3 to 5 sprays of SpeedUp 360 to the rubber, spreading it well.
Don’t rub: just spread it gently.
Rest: let it work for a few hours until no trace of the product remains on the top sheet.

Phase 4: professional assembly

Once the treatment is done, you will notice the rubber has curved, forming a “dome”. The rule is simple: the higher the dome, the more tensioned and faster it has become.

When the sponge is dry to the touch and shows no traces of oil, it is ready to be glued. But note: gluing a tensioned (curved) rubber requires a glue that can hold it.

The official recommendation: EasyGlue Green

To finish the setup in style, we strongly recommend EasyGlue Green. Why?

Catapult effect: Green creates an elastic layer that produces a “spring effect”, boosting the work done by the booster even further.
Reliable grip: it was designed to keep a secure bond even under tension, so the effect lasts longer.
Optimized performance: we recommend 3 or more coats of EasyGlue Green on the rubber to get the most out of this potential.

If the rubber is very curved and you have trouble gluing it, contact our team. We are here to help.

Now it’s your turn. Assemble your racket, go to the table and feel the difference on your first drive. Enjoy your training!

At 360TT, it’s quality by players, for players.

Why Is Your Glue Water-Based Today? The "Speed Glue" Crisis

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 17:56:00 -0300

If you’re a veteran player, you probably remember the smell. A strong, chemical smell that took over every competition hall. If you’re a newer player, maybe you’ve heard people talk with nostalgia about the “click”, the iconic sound the racket made in the 80s and 90s.

That smell and that sound came from the same place: “speed glue”. For decades, it was the elite’s secret for generating absurd speed and spin. But it was also at the center of a health crisis that forced table tennis to change forever.

To understand why your TENSOR rubber is so elastic and why your glue is water-based today, we need to tell this story. Our analysis is largely based on a fantastic historical article by Jens Fellke, the author of the Jan-Ove Waldner biography (“When the Feeling Decides”). In a report for USA Table Tennis Magazine (Mar/Apr 2009), he detailed this saga.

Chapter 1: the magical “click” (the discovery)

The story begins by accident in the 70s with the Hungarian player Tibor Klampar. During a practice session, frustrated with his game, he peeled off his rubber and glued on a new one. He didn’t like it, peeled it off again and re-glued the original. Suddenly, he heard a “click”.

Klampar realized that his original rubber was suddenly much faster and had more spin. He had found the jackpot: applying fresh glue with volatile solvents (VOCs) before playing “supercharged” the rubber. The game became faster and more aggressive, allowing the famous topspin-against-topspin rallies with players meters away from the table.

Chapter 2: the hysteria and the dark side

Klampar kept his secret for more than a year. But once it was discovered, the table tennis world changed. Gluing became a “hysteria”.

The ritual was to apply coat after coat of glue before every practice and every match, sometimes six times a day. Players traveled with cans of highly flammable glue smuggled in their suitcases.

🤓 360TT technical view: the real risk

The problem was health. The solvents were toxic. Fellke’s article cites several alarming incidents:

A player in Scotland passed out after spilling a jar of glue and inhaling the fumes.
Doctors warned about neurological risks, headaches, concentration problems and even a link to birth defects.
The situation got so serious that doctors advised athletes to wear gas masks while gluing.

The legendary Stellan Bengtsson had a famous story: he told of parents arriving to pick up their beginner kids at the club and seeing the main team’s players wearing gas masks, thinking they had walked into a “chemical warfare exercise”. The sport’s image was being seriously damaged.

Chapter 3: the ban and the modern era

The ITTF tried to ban speed glue in 1993, but failed. Pressure from players and the lack of a reliable test made the federation back down.

However, the pressure for a “green” and safe sport continued. In 2004, the ITTF voted for a definitive ban on all solvents (VOCs), a rule that took effect on September 1, 2008, right after the Beijing Olympics.

Chapter 4: the solutions (today’s game)

The ban created a vacuum. How do you get speed without speed glue? The industry, which was already preparing for this, answered with two innovations that define today’s game:

“Tensioned” rubbers (TENSOR / High Tension): manufacturers such as ESN (with TENSOR technology) and Butterfly (High Tension) figured out how to put the “spring effect” in from the factory, inside the rubber. They come “supercharged” permanently and safely.
VOC-Free glues (water-based): the new glues, safe and approved by the ITTF, were created. They are 100% water-based and their job is no longer to “supercharge”, but to fix the tensioned rubber to the blade as efficiently as possible.

360TT expert analysis

The speed glue era was exciting, but it was a “chemical war” that fortunately ended. It changed the game forever, forcing the sport to become faster and more athletic.

It’s even a little ironic to look at how the market has evolved. In the 90s, many of us used classic rubbers like the Yasaka Mark V with a 2.5mm sponge. With speed glue, that sponge swelled and easily reached 2.7mm. Curiously, one of the biggest releases of 2025, the Butterfly Zyre-03, is treated as a major innovation precisely because it has a sponge of… 2.7mm. The sport has come full circle.

Fortunately, today we no longer need gas masks. Performance now comes from the technology built into the rubbers (TENSOR) and from modern glues that, besides being safe and 100% within the rules, also help performance. Solutions like EasyGlue Green and EasyGlue Carbon (with its carbon technology) are the best example of this evolution: maximum performance, with total safety and respect for the current rules.

Now I want to hear from you: did you live through the speed glue era? What is your memory of the “click”? Tell me here in the comments.

Table Tennis Serve: 5 Tips to Surprise Your Opponent (and the Equipment That Helps)

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 20:24:00 -0300

The serve in table tennis is your first attack and the most controlled stroke a player has. Unlike any other moment of the game, you have complete control over it, with no interference from your opponent.

The main goal of a good serve is to disrupt your opponent, pulling them out of their comfort zone and, ideally, either winning the point outright or setting up a decisive attack. If you can turn your first attack into a powerful play, your whole game becomes much stronger, because your opponent will constantly worry about what you’ll do next.

Here are 5 essential tips to improve your serve and catch your opponent by surprise.

TL;DR: the serve is the only stroke you fully control, and surprise comes from disguising the spin, varying the height of the toss and forcing your opponent to move. Since most points are decided in the first three balls, set up the next attack and keep the no-spin serve as a lethal weapon. The right equipment amplifies spin and control, and training with targets and multiball completes the package.

5 tactical tips to surprise your opponent

1. Master the art of disguise (variation is key)

The essence of a surprising serve is illusion. A serve that is always obvious and telegraphed won’t fool experienced players, making your opponent’s return easy.

The secret is to make your serves, even with different spins and speeds, look identical until the last second. Use a semicircular motion (down, sideways and up) and accelerate into the contact. That way, your opponent won’t be able to tell which part of the arc the contact happened on, making it harder to read the spin (backspin, sidespin or topspin).

Of course, an “obvious” serve can be used on purpose, to set your opponent up for a variation on the next play. What can’t happen is for it to be obvious because of a lack of technique.

360TT tip

Exaggerate the racket’s follow-through in the direction opposite to the intended spin (for example, finish downward for a topspin serve, or upward for a backspin serve).

2. Use a high toss to break the rhythm

Although the rule requires a minimum toss of 16 cm, there is no maximum height. Varying the height of the toss is a powerful tactic to confuse your opponent’s timing.

A serve with a high toss can take a few seconds for the ball to come down. If you repeatedly use a high toss and suddenly serve with a minimum toss, your opponent, who expected more time, may have muscles unprepared for the quick movement. Besides, a higher toss makes the ball fall faster, which can be turned into extra spin and speed at contact.

3. Mix short and long, aiming at the extreme points

Ball placement is a crucial tactical element. The goal is to force your opponent to move, pulling them out of their comfort base. Even if it’s just one step, that forced movement already hurts the quality of the return.

One of the best combinations is to alternate between short serves to the forehand and deep serves to the backhand (the extreme points of the table), since it’s hard for the receiver to prepare for both.

Short serves: the bounce should land close to the net, making a full-motion attack difficult.
Long serves: fast and aimed at the corners, they are effective as a surprise.

360TT tip

One particularly effective placement, which contrasts with the extremes, is to aim at your opponent’s middle (the elbow of the racket hand). When the ball is played there, your opponent is forced to make a quick decision (use forehand or backhand), which hurts the consistency of the stroke.

4. Set the stage for a fierce attack

Remember: in high-level matches, the majority of all points are won in the first three balls. The serve and the first return are the most important shots.

Your serve will be ten times more threatening if it is followed by a vigorous attack. If your playing style is offensive, short serves let you apply a topspin (attacking stroke) on the next ball, taking the initiative and preventing your opponent’s first offensive action.

5. Master the no-spin serve

The no-spin serve (with no spin on the ball) is a lethal variation. You can imitate the motion of a backspin serve but, instead of brushing the ball, make contact close to the handle (where the surface moves more slowly) and simply push the ball gently.

Your opponent, expecting backspin, will probably lift the ball, handing you an easy attack. If they expect topspin and close the racket, the ball goes straight into the net.

How the right equipment improves your serve

Technique is fundamental, but to get the most spin and control, the right equipment works as an amplifier. Based on the tactics above, here is what you need to know:

1. To generate maximum spin (tips 1 and 4)

You need rubbers with a tacky top sheet (upper surface). Chinese rubbers are famous for this trait, letting you “grab” the ball and generate extreme rotation, essential for disguising the spin or executing the no-spin serve.

Our recommendation: take a look at the DHS Hurricane or the PF4-50 lines, which are masters at generating spin.

2. To keep the serve short and low (tip 3)

Control is everything. Rubbers that, by nature, help keep a lower and deeper ball trajectory (especially harder Chinese rubbers) make it easier to execute serves that are hard to counterattack. Combined with a blade with good feel (control), you’ll have the sensitivity needed to make the ball “die” on your opponent’s side of the table.

Our recommendation: explore our 5-ply or 7-ply blades that prioritize control and sensitivity.

3. To ensure consistency (the “do it yourself” factor)

The quality of your gluing directly affects the feel of your racket. Using a quality glue, like 360TT EasyGlue, ensures an even layer and the perfect adhesion so that the rubber performs exactly as expected.

Our recommendation: learn to glue your own racket. Check out our EasyGlue glue and the SpinUp Cleaner to keep your equipment at competition performance.

Bonus: tools for focused training

Improving your serve takes repetition.

Targets (target zones): use tape or markings on the table to define specific areas (lines, corners, elbow). Mastering placement is what separates high-level players.
Multiball training (robots or basket): this is the best way to train serve and receive technique. With a basket of balls, you can focus 100% on executing the motion, refining speed, spin and direction without interruptions.

Conclusion: practice and surprise

A good serve is built with repetition and intention. Start by choosing one or two of these tactics to train in a focused way. You’ll see how, in a short time, your confidence to start the point will grow and your opponents will get more and more uncomfortable.

For offensive performance and spin: EasyGlue GREEN

Developed for offensive players, EasyGlue GREEN is a true performance upgrade. Its technology goes beyond bonding, acting as a power layer that propels the ball.

Spring (catapult) effect: when you apply 3 or more coats, the glue creates an elastic film that significantly increases the speed of your strokes.
Elastic feel: gives a softer sensation, increasing the contact time with the ball (dwell time) and, consequently, the potential for spin.
Higher throw angle: the formula results in a higher launch angle, ideal for attacking strokes.
Optimized performance: to get the most out of it, applying 3 or more coats to the sponge is essential.

Extreme speed: its formula, with 3 or more coats, unleashes maximum potential for low, powerful and deep attacks.
Direct, precise feel: inspired by carbon rackets, it creates a direct and crisp sensation, resulting in greater precision in blocks and fast attacks.
Visible technology: as it dries, the glue reveals the carbon particles, the visual proof of the technology that is about to boost your game.
Energy transfer: the firm layer, reinforced by carbon, acts as an extension of your racket, catapulting the ball with impressive speed.
