61 Second Lightning DS LST

Hi there, i was looking for an ultra tacky rubber, but this is definitely not a case. Not even in the beginning when brand new. Now after some 30 hour of play, and cleaning it after avery training it even doesn*t pickup a ball from a table. So tackiness was really a big disapointment for me... on the other hand it is damn spinny and choppy, yes it is. I*ve got red one 2,2mm from aliexpress (i am quite sure this is cannot be a faked one :-) and i use it on Grubba All+ blade. Speed is OKish, control as well, spin is highly above everage, not hard, not soft. /except it is definitely not a tacky rubber,at least in my case/ For that price (some 11USD) it is really an good option to go, if you are looking for say above everage rubber in every aspect. I would try this one in 2.0 or better 1.8 for better control for my style of play, and for better feel.

Version tested is 38°, 1.5mm on backhand and 1.8mm on forehand. No tensor effect. Very tacky, lot of control and spin. A bit slow. Light and quite soft for a chinese rubber. To be used on a quick blade. Perfect match with the Galaxy T11 for example. 1.8mm on backhand and 2.0mm on forehand should be perfect.

I don't know if they strictly correspond to the product on this review, but I bought two rubbers of this type in the version sold in pairs red and black to replace the original ones of a Decathlon Pongori TTR 500 allround racket that I use purely in training. For their price they are good even if they lose tackiness quickly and tend to deteriorate with a decent speed. However, they perform discreetly in all variety of shots and allow for good all-round and defensive play. I would like to recommend them to those who want to experience ping pong without facing exorbitant expenses but want a certain quality of play. Evaluations: speed 6.3 - spin 6.5 - control 7 - tacky (but fast decay) -medium weight - medium hardness - few gears medium throw angle - not very durable.

2.0mm H38. Weight uncut: 55g. Weight cut: 41g. Very light weight. The same as TSP Ventus Soft 1.8mm and 729 Focus III Snipe H46. I'm replacing my TSP Ventus Soft 1.8mm on backhand with this rubber. The blade is a Yinhe MC-4 (Carbon). This is the tackiest rubber I have ever had. More than any Hurricane/Skyline etc... The feel of the sponge isn't that soft that I expected. Great spin and quite low throw. Not a speed monster at all, but it may have something to do with the tackiness and quite soft sponge. Backspin and backhand serves are more spinny now. This rubber is not bouncy at all. You have to perform the full stroke to do good top spins with this rubber. Blocking is good, but someway a bit inconsistent. It's not that forgiving as the TSP Ventus Soft. You have to hit the ball at the right time, with the right angle and put some power in your stroke to make it go in. Flat hits are very good. I don't know why, but my flat backhand hits goes in more often with this rubber. The tackiness after some 5-6 cleanings are about the same as H3N and lifts the ball for about one second now. I guess it makes the rubber a little bit easier to play with, when the tack goes away.

The tackiness of his rubber is better than h3 commercial or provincial. The sponge seems like inbetween chinese and japanese sponge. The ones I've tried are 38 deg 2.0mm and 40 deg 2.0mm. The later is faster compared to 38deg but has more control. Shortgame is super. Before using this rubber I have a problem on my services. I thought I wasn't imparting enough spin on the ball but when I used this rubber I had it all wrong. It was loaded and my rallies improved too. Attacking the ball even receiving it is easier because of the tackiness. You grab the ball better. The blade I'm using to test this is my 85 grams viscaria.
