Giant Dragon Meteorite

An outstanding all-round LP rubber. Excellent spin reversal/continuation and consistency when chopping away from the table, and you can even vary the spin a little with the strength of the chopping action. Blocking at the table produces confusing returns, and you can produce some good "wobble" against serves and pushes by lifting/flicking with an open blade face. Also good for consistent attacking/lifting against push or backspin (albeit the ball goes back fairly flat), and for safe and low pushes (although again these are fairly flat, without much reversal). Overall a near perfect combination of qualities, and a worthy alternative to versatile rubbers such as Stiga Destroyer. (Note that Destroyer only works well on a soft blade whereas Meteorite also works well on a harder blade such as the Andro Fibercomp Def.)

Good all round long pips with the emphasis on attacking shots, stable in defence with reasonable deception and reversal, Have only used it on a def blade would expect to find control suffers on anything faster. Not for the passive defender.

I use this on a Viscaria Blade with an attacking FH. It's simular to my Neubauer 'Desperado' rubber I used the last 3 years but it looks like the effects are harder to read for the opposition. Without me losing control. It's only the second type of long pips so I'm not the expert but I have a good feeling about it.

Up to 6 months ago I would have said the Dawai 388D1 was the best rubber for pimple players... I have been playing with that rubber for over two years. However I gave the meteorite rubber a go and have found that control was far superior to that of the Dawei, deception and reversal may be fractionly less than the Dawei but this is acceptable due to the much better control. Counter hits are easier as well as blocks and chops. Ideal for long pimple players looking for that extra something in their game.

My first long pimple use on backhand with very fast Ovcherov Donic Carbospeed blade .I do not use this rubber for defending only attacking very easy to attack with close to table. Excellent attacking rubber that causes many problems for opponents when used aggressively
