	Palio Hadou Whirlwind I purchased this rubber as Hadou Hurricane from fastpaddle.com for $9. I believe it is the same thing as Whirlwind (same packaging, etc) so someone can correct me if they are indeed two different rubbers. This is an attacking rubber with a hard sponge. The rubber itself is thick without being too heavy. It's a pain to cut but like most Palio rubbers, it holds up very well and will last a long time. It has a surprising amount of control and no matter how hard you hit the ball, it will not let you down. It's consistency is very dependable. I suggest using a razor for cutting and not scissors. Like most Chinese rubbers, it starts off ultra tacky and after a good month of use it will reduce down to a very desirable tacky+grippy level. It's my forehand rubber and it produces some mean backspin serves. As far as unglued, non-tensioned rubbers go, this is actually a decently fast rubber. Which brings me to my next point, this rubber is meant to be speed-glued. The dense sponge expands very well and can be re-glued many times. Then this rubber shines providing incredible speed/spin while still providing excellent control. The speed-effect will hold for a very long time. This is definitely one of my most notable rubbers when speed-glued. Overall, I give it 9/10 because it's an excellent, durable, high-quality rubber, especially given its price. I wish it would have been slightly faster without glue for those that need to stick to the rules. Reviewed by Phot0n on October 03, 2010
	Yasaka Mark V Very nice for spin and control. The rubber is quite tacky allowing it for a better control and spin. Lasts very long and gives the same feel and response until the rubber is completely worn out. Extremely versatile rubber. And very durable. Reviewed by manvswild9 on October 03, 2010
	Butterfly Timo Boll T5000 Tamca This is uncompromising all-out power blade perfect for the power attacker. The Boll T5000 features a large sweet spot, hard feel, and produces tons of power for point winning loops and smashes. The Timo Boll T5000 is a perfect match for any of Butterfly’s new high tension rubbers. Reviewed by manvswild9 on October 03, 2010
	Butterfly Viscaria great blade to much money but has lasted 2yrs feels great with med rubbers i use baracuda and t 05 Reviewed by slamdally on October 01, 2010
	Nittaku Acoustic Finally got hold of one of these with an L-Size handle. Considered by many to be the holy grail of all-wood blades, along with the Violin. It's a beautifully made blade, and the L-Size handle is much more suited to my big hamfists (I find regular Nittaku handles to be far too small). Feels really smooth to play with, and does everything well. It's fast for a 5-ply all-wood, but not uncontrollable. It's quite thin, and pretty light, so for real pace you'll have to put some effort in. But it's so good in every other department that I think it's a better bet than a carbon blade for the overall feel and control. Probably more suited to loopers as opposed to hitters, due to soft feel. Very expensive... Reviewed by AndySmith on October 01, 2010
