Friendship/729 Top Point

Used it for only 3 months, no a big fan of it but it isnt a bad rubber by any means it has good speed, decent spin (good for serves and blocking but not so good for chops) you need to engage a full body movement to get that really fast speed and good spin. Nice rubber to start gaining technique, after that it isnt all that great. It should be noted that this rubber was discontinued

Hardness Black / Red 42. Weight seems medium-heavy. Rubber is slightly tacky when new. Most or all of the tackiness wears off within about ten hour play and loses a lot of spin after that. The sponge is medium to medium-hard. Speed is OK and spin is good. Also a good level of control. Speed held back a bit by the tacky nature of the rubber. Throw angle I found to be medium-high. Blocking was just OK though a bit more difficult with tacky rubber and lacked bounce. Pushing and chop serves were OK for control but spin was good. Attacking was OK with good pace and control. Spin was good due to tacky surface. A decent rubber for the price if you like tacky surface. It played more like a medium sponge My ratings: Speed: 8.0; Spin: 8.4; Control: 8.7 Tackiness: Medium tacky; Throw Angle: Medium Weight: Medium-heavy; Sponge Harness: Medium-hard; Gear: Average Durability: Lasts longer than average; Consistency: Always identical Overall: 8.3

seems not produced any more
