	Andro Roxon 450 Very good for driving, but loses its high speed/spin after about a month. Reviewed by slashattack on July 02, 2009
	Dawei Inspirit Quattro Ultralight 40 I heard a lot of hype about this rubber before I decided to buy it. I am currently using this as a FH rubber on a Galaxy De-1 Blade with Milky Way Neptune OX LP on the backhand. My common setup is a Gambler Outlaw 2.2mm on a Hao Shuai Carbon Blade. I will try and compare this rubber to the Outlaw. Rubber: Very nice looking rubber of the best quality for a Chinese company. Rubber has a slight tack very European, maybe a little more than the Outlaw. I have it in RED with MAX Sponge on it. I have it in the Quattro sponge which is rated at 40deg and feels pretty close maybe 38-39. The blade I am using had a 7 ply structure with 3 layer of only Arylate (no Carbon) in between, which makes it very stable and kind of slow in a good way. Serves/Chopping/Pushing: Have been getting some good spinney serves just hope that it stays with the factory tack and does not wear off. Chopping is a big part of my game and it was very controlled and had heavy backspin if I got the motion right. Pushing with this rubber was phenomenal and heavily loaded up on spin. Seemed to trouble my opponents more than the Outlaw. But the stable blade could have been contributing to this too. Looping/Counterlooping: I do not brush loop as much as I would like to, but when I did try on some serves it did carry heavy topspin. However a few balls did seem to go long, could be because of the Quattro sponge. Now for Loop Driving it was amazing and really loaded up on spin and speed. Counter-looping is what I love to do and it was a MONSTER. A lot of guys were amazed at the speed at which the ball came back and gave them virtually no chance to receive it. Hitting/Flipping/Blocking: I don't block a lot as my instinct is to counter, but did not trouble me too much. For flipping it was very effective, but when the ball carried a lot of spin I was getting uncomfortable. Flat hitting and smashing is pretty much 70% of my game. I have a very fast smash and this rubber felt like it was meant for it. Inspite of the slower blade my smashes were terminal most of the time and I think I got back probably 1 return out of 50. The icing on the cake was that amazing "Click" when you go for that mid-distance smashes or even counter-loops. The blade being stable probably increased my efficiency from 60% to maybe 85%. To summarize this seems to be my new setup until something goes horribly wrong. Would recommend to any power looper, counter looper and hitter (assuming you already use inverted). And for a price tag of $16 you virtually cannot get anything better. Great product from Dawei. Reviewed by metallikviper on July 01, 2009
	Friendship/729 40S I tried the self-stick version (Quick-Stick) self-adhesion. It's a full-on tacky rubber with a medium soft sponge Reviewed by ppgear on June 29, 2009
	Galaxy/Milkyway Carbokev K-6 this blade is supposed to be a replica of the butterfly maze, as it has the same layers and structure. howver this blade is much faster, extremely stiff and hard. i would recommend it to players who love stiff and hard carbonblades.
