I just noticed this while watching ITTF TV Austrian Open, 2019

Rubber looks like it was boosted like crazy! https://imgur.com/a/D7bdEVJ

I did not know they boost tensors ... is it custom boosted or factory "tuned" ??

Can't really see the edges curling in, so not sure abt any huge boosting. But the omega 7 topsheets usually does look like that after it's worn a little, atleast in my experience.

the image looks like it's showing pixellation from the compression algorithm on the source file. 

they boost tensors, but this is not clear evidence of that.
