	Donic Traction MS Soft Good rubber, worth it's price. This rubber is good for looping and smashing. Reviewed by netballandpaddle on November 4, 2011
	DHS NEO Hurricane 3 Provincial (Orange Sponge) I love this rubber. It is very tacky, and it's speed is satisfying. It is true that you need good footwork to use this rubber efectively. Overall it is good. Reviewed by netballandpaddle on November 4, 2011
	Sword Hero Enhanced This rubber is mostly for drive, due to the medium-low throw and spin insensitivity. not tacky, but grippy. Has very good touch, very good control on drives and hits. The throw is medium-low, like 729 classic. Higher than sriver EL, lkt pro xp. Lower than H3, vega pro, t05, acuda s1, acuda s2. Red or black makes no difference. Hardness is more or less like hurricane 3 or 729 classic. The low gear is absent due to the hardness. Dwell time is very low due to the hardness. speed: this rubber is very fast (much more than 729 classic or hurricane 3 neo). Pre-glued (does not require glue to stick to blade). Sword hero FT is completely different (softer, higher throw, much spinnier) bottom line: good power, hard, not tacky, poor spin, mostly for drive. Tests were made on a dawei wavestone (fast carbon blade). Reviewed by seguso on November 2, 2011
	Galaxy Carbokev K-5 I disagree with respect to hardness, I'm hard rubber. The blade is very heavy, as I feel. But it is fast and has some control. Reviewed by Fakk on November 02, 2011
	Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive Awesome blade. Good speed for an off blade and pretty nice controll. It feels soft but I have no problem with that. It works extremelly well with my DHS Skyline 2 Neo. My backhand rubber is Rakza, this combination isn't so great. Rakza is a softer rubber comparing to Skyline, it seems I need to find a harder rubber instead of it. It is still very well playable but it doesn't work extremelly well like with Skyline. I strongly recommend to use harder rubbers on this blade (DHS Neo series suit great). 9/10.

	Butterfly Defence 2 (II) A great blade. Easy to chop with and will loop with the best of them. (update)After I have used the Victas Koji Matsushita I found that the Def II is too soft to chop effectively. Does loop well but there are better chopping blades out there. Like the VKM. Great blade.
