	DHS NEO Skyline 2 TG2 I don't agree with aj123347's review fully but we can play totally different styles so different opinions like this could occur. I'm a top spin attacker prefering more spin. This rubber is really well suitable for top spin attackers imo, it's spin and controll is great. The level of speed is optimal for this kind of play imo (I'd say it's very close to Bryce). I really don't recommend it for agressive attackers because I think if this rubbers has a weak spot, is it driving. I don't feel so much controll when trying to play a fast drive stroke, the ball usually flies straight off the table (I recommend Bryce, Bryce Speed or Almana for this game style). My overall rank is 8,5 because this is not a complex rubber. If you prefer rotation and control, you've found a perfect weapon. If you don't, look about something else. EDIT: After some more time playing with this I've changed my overally ratings to 9.5. It's an offensive top spin rubber, many gears, great controll. Fast drive is still the weakest stroke but you can handle it comfortably after some time playing with it. Great weapon for a less than half price comparing to Butterfly products. EDIT2: I was comparing the price to Butterfly but it doesn't mean it is a good alternative for Butterfly rubbers. It plays different and you need to spend some time to learn how to play with it. But when you get into it it's a really awesome rubber. EDIT3: I've been using it since february and now I feel it needs to be replaced. Speed is still good but spin has decreased noticeably. I'll buy the Skyline TG2 Neo again because this is the best rubber I've ever played. I keep the durability rating on "lasts longer than average" because it lasted 6 month of intensive every day practice. It doesn't last ages but 6 month is very good for me (comparing to Bryce and more other rubbers). EDIT4: Copy - paste from my Tenergy 05 review. "I was using it some time ago but I'm going back to the DHS Skyline 2 TG2 Neo. I can compare these 2 rubbers very well now. These rubbers are very close when comparing speed. Tenergy's throw angle is much higher (really high for me). Both rubbers have medium hard sponge but Tenergy's higher throw makes me somehow more difficult to controll it. But it depends on your style, I think many people like that because it is easier to get the ball over the net. Spin - DHS produces more, I'd say about 10-15%. It is not a huge difference but I can feel it. Conclusion - very good rubber, good for beginners and forgives mistakes (Tenergy). On the other hand you can buy much cheaper rubbers with more spin and controll (for example DHS Skyline 2 TG2 Neo)". Reviewed by msilhanek on August 3, 2011
	Yasaka Mark V just got this rubber for my forehand and backhand and my push shots suddenly got faster.. great control as well aside from being faster than the DHS PF4 that i used to have Reviewed by kellogz21 on August 2, 2011
	Palio Thors Just switched to it from H3 Neo Provincial, loved it after a few loops. This is better than H3 in everyway, except for the tackiness. Each hit is like a fired bullet with powerful spin. I'm not gonna change back to H3 again Reviewed by lunarlegend1524 on August 2, 2011
