	Stiga Boost TC Good Rubber and lovely you can play with it for all .. back and forehand almost cheap I love it. Reviewed by Khayyal on March 1, 2011
	DHS NEO Skyline 3 TG3 because the tackines the rubber it's to slow in short distances, but with power topspins it's very fast because the "neo" sponge has very powerful in medium and large or power topspins Reviewed by guifre on March 1, 2011
	Galaxy Sun This is a very good BH rubber for its price (13 USD on http://ttnpp.com). It has decent speed and spin and a medium throw angle. Pushing doesn't work great but this might be from the blade. So far, Galaxy Sun has been by far the best Chinese rubber I have played with. I haven't tried it yet on my BH but I will do it soon and let you know how it performs. Reviewed by fluturas101 on February 28, 2011
	Andro Temper Tech OFF Good speed and great control, but a bit on the expensive side. This blade doesn't seem significantly better than a Galaxy T11 (sold at about 25 USD by Chinese vendors) or a Xi Enting Shark (sold at about 30 USD). The T11 is faster than the Tech Off but more difficult to control, while the Shark seemed just a bit slower and with similar control. Rubbers might have affected the feel, as I was using Stiga Boost TS with the Shark. Andro responded well from all distances, is good for blocking and top spins. Doesn't seem the best choice for pushing the ball. I paired it with a Palio Macro Era (2.0 mm, 42 degrees) on the FH and with a Palio Thor (max width) on the BH. They are both very good, offensive (tensor) rubbers. I don't see why so many guys (including myself) are ready to pay 2-3 times more for the same value when there are lots of excellent Chinese blades available. The same goes for rubbers (Galaxy Sun is very good and it sells for about 13 USD, for examples). We are encouraging companies like Butterfly to charge astronomical prices for some pieces of inexpensive materials, which are almost identical in properties to their Chinese counterparts.

	Galaxy T-11 Great blade for aggressive players. It sends the ball like a cannon. Control is a bit difficult, so I only recommend it to experienced players . Reviewed by fluturas101 on March 02, 2011
	Xi Enting Shark 686 Excellent control, decent speed. It works very well with soft rubbers. I use it with Stiga Boost TS on the FH and Friendship Focus 3 Snipe on the BH. Reviewed by fluturas101 on March 02, 2011
