	Butterfly Pan Asia good for controlled amateur game and defensive playing near table. Reviewed by ivanr on January 3, 2012
	DHS G888 I have this in 2.2, 2.0 and 1.8 on three different blades with long pips on the BH. All my blades are rated as Def+ but fast enough to be rated All/All+. 2.2mm is on a Milky way LQ-2, the other two are on a TSP Reflex award 50. I can vary the height and distance of my loops with fairly good ball placement causing my opponents issues if they let the ball bounce high off the table. Very very spiny, great for side spin and good for FH serves also. I play with DHS 1.0mm Long Pimples Cloud & Fog 3 on the BH, very good combo. You will need a flexible blade to get the best out of this rubber of which my two TSP blades are, my LQ-2 is hard and therefore less dwell time but still get good ball rotation. Very good rubber for the close to mid distance looper, say up to 8 feet from the table. Reviewed by Patchie00 on December 31, 2011
	DHS Tin Arc A great modern speed glue effect rubber from China. The sponge is very ESN/Tensor, but the whole package plays in a way that is more predictable throughout a range of topspins. TA is predictable through and works well enough from close all the way to mid distance. It also provides a lot more punch on medium topspins than classic chinese rubber. Very modern. Much better than classic euro, japanese or chinese rubber in terms of spin to speed ratio. Reviewed by icontek on December 31, 2011
	Butterfly Matsushita Pro New Year and new write-up Bought two 5 years ago - they are collector items now or at least harder to find. Yes its Koji and Gao Jun paddle, but be warned, you got to be pro or at least 1500 to use it effectively. Against slow balls there is no issue but fast topspins will cause higher throw chops so you will need a strong wrist or good technique...try any defensive blade with flex see for yourself. Also read SpinMantra\\\'s article on butterfly defensive paddles and high throw. Its a lot easier to use a slightly faster blade for chopping. But for blocking at the table, its great.

	DHS Power-G PG7 i have tried this blade with h3 neo on fh and rakza 7 on bh.. it is easy to loop at all. it also has a great control but the speed of this blade it quite fast for me. overall this is a good blade for all people. Reviewed by rising on January 01, 2012
	Xi Enting Flying Dragon X360 Excellent blade for the price. Works well from all distances, for blocks, loops, counter-looping, chops, smashes. Surprisingly, it gets along well with Gambler Reflectoid, making up for the slowness of the rubber. I got great control and decent speed with this combination. Unless you are an advanced player, do not pair it with anything faster than Sriver. The speed it generates might prove too much for you. Reviewed by fluturas101 on December 31, 2011
