	Darker VLON-S Silver V Hardness seems about 34 +- 2 degrees. Weight seems average. Rubber is fairly tacky when new. The ball will stick to it at first. Quite fast and spin is very good due to tackiness. Very good level of control also. Throw angle I found to be about medium. Blocking was good with the medium-soft sponge giving it plenty of bounce without playing a stroke. Pushing and chop serves were good due to the extra spin from the tacky surface.

	Xiom Vega Elite a very good backhand rubber. i use 2mm black on my dhs blade. when you close your bat angle you don't even recognize the incoming topspin. very good for topspin. very easy rubber. ball feeling is not good but you can certainly feel better than vega asia. its spin is between vega asia and europe it is not a fast rubber so shotting is not very good. it's light. very good control with a lot of spin. vega asia- elite rubber combination is a dream for forehand atackers and backhand blockers. also it deserves better ratings.

	Galaxy Mars V2 Hardness 35 degrees on red and black for my testing. Medium-heavy weight by my judgement. Comes factory-tuned so need to remove plastic cover from the sponge side to expose the factory-applied glue and let it air for a few minutes before applying. Rubber is quite hard and completely non-tacky in my opinion. Tenergy-esque in that respect. Good speed and spin is OK (non-tacky so a bit less), with a good level of control also. Throw angle I found to be medium-low so need to aim a bit higher compared to some others I used or drives can end up in the net. Blocking was also quite good with the medium sponge giving it enough kick without playing a stroke. Pushing and chop serves were OK, but lack some bite due to non-tacky surface.

	Donic Waldner Legend Carbon Really very good Job of Donic. It is out hinoki pliers and one ply carbon. Very good control. Good for hitting, very good for blocking and looping. For me very nice feel and the same quality of Primorac Carbon for minus price. Very good blade Reviewed by travelyou on February 04, 2013
	Butterfly Lejumu 2/14/2013 Butterfly Lejumu Speed: Off- , Medium-Fast All wood 82 gms __________________________ 7/28/2012 Hmmmm my 1st review on the blade :D i just bought mine 2 days ago paired with FH: Hurricane neo 3 BH: Donic Coppa jo platin soft control is very good quite consistent with shot a little bit fast since its stiff but easily tamed to your liking has little vibration thats what i dont like about it ( I like my blades vibrating like my phone =))) lol ) but regardless i like it for its consistent shots may need to sand some parts since the wood carvings near the head scars my hand by a little for pushing needs a little more effort when i push with it i always come up short for looping, this blade is easy to loop with for drives just complete your follow through and ur almost there :D for chopping, id say that its not really for chopping compared to my 729 6030 blade this 1 is hard to chop with for smashes, average :) well hope this helps Reviewed by amekun on February 04, 2013
