	JOOLA Tango Extrem Close to the table play, especially touch shots, are difficult to control, but it's a reasonable rubber for pushing. Quite good for loops a few steps away from the table due to its speed, and it's spinny (not especially spinny for serves however). Not very durable, but I've taken good care of it and it's been fine for 1.5 yrs now (getting harder to control however). It seems to be better for driving on the BH, but it may be my technique. Hard to control but very fast. Reviewed by zxc on May 29, 2009
	Butterfly Sriver EL Best backhand rubber. Great control with good speed and spin for controlled attacking. Serves are also spiny and travel low over the net. Best all-around rubber you could ask for. Drives, loops, and blocks extremely well. Allows you to put the ball anywhere on the table with accuracy. Reviewed by loki on May 28, 2009
	Butterfly Cermet Cermet is and excellent and an underrated rubber. Most people stumble on its superb performance. It combines the power of bryce and the feel of catapult. It has good control and is very good and doing almost anything provided you have the technique. The mid-soft sponge and topsheet allow for just enough dwell time to produce loads of spin on loops. Its softness also allows for great smashing as well as more controlled blocks. Serves are spiny and it plays well without speed glue. Great for the glue ban. Also good in mid-distance because of the high tension technology. My favorite rubber for power, spin, and consistency. Reviewed by loki on May 28, 2009
	Xiom Amadeus I found it esy to adjust to for a 7ply blade. Great loops and OK value for money. Overall very good blade! Reviewed by frekkle on May 25, 2009
	Stiga Offensive Classic (OC) not very fast, around off-/all+ however nice feel, good control and good spin when looping Reviewed by DeVoured on May 24, 2009
	Yasaka Gatien Extra Smooth Balance// I just recently switched to this blade from stiff Carbon and Titanium type blades. I really wanted to get back the control I lost with 7/9 ply composites, and feel like I'm playing much better. This blade doesn't play very fast on it's own, but if you combine it with fast/sticky rubbers, you can create some unique loop patterns and generate only the speed that YOU put forth. It's got a great impact feel, and it's light-weight is great for transitioning and pendulum service style. Reviewed by loopy_newbie on May 19, 2009
