The classic PF4 rubber with hard sponge and super sticky surface has been re-invented.
The ‘new’ version is more suitable for the 40+ ball and incorporates a new surface technology and new adhesive between the rubber and sponge to increase the speed without losing spin.
Ideal for allround play for heavy chops and quick topspins.
This is a fairly cheap rubber, but it is a step up from the typical practice rubbers, like Galaxy/Yinhe 9000D. The speed is ok. The spin is very good, as the tacky surface grabs the ball very well. The sponge is medium hard, but it's not too reactive on soft shots, allowing you to easily place the ball anywhere on the top. This means you'll have excellent control and can easily lift backspin.
I usually only use tacky rubber on forehand, but this rubber is good for both forehand and backhand. Curiously, this rubber has great feeling too. This effect seems more prominent on backhand than forehand. Overall, I give this rubber 9 out 10 for its great performance to cost ratio. It's cheap enough to be used as a practice rubber, but good enough that you can play serious matches. It's also one of the few hard tacky rubbers I would recommend for both forehand and backhand.
-> My first review: This rubber plays very well on flexible to medium flexible blade. My example is 7 ply DHS PG7. I use this black , max sponge, on forehand. The SMASH HIT (no spin on it) is very good, if you know the angle to hold the racket and works perfect if you do it fast and on backspin ball. I do not think it works good on stiff blade, but who knows....
-> Very good to do backspin SERVES and Serves in general.
-> A little bit hard but you can get used to it . Goood for POLYBALL. ( China rubber ^^ )
-> I think this rubber can LAST A VERY LONG TIME, without losing its properties., even if it will not look like brand new.
-> Very good for ADVANCED players. By the way, the player who wields it matters , not so much the racket.
Nice rubber for chinese playing style... very easy to loop heavy backspi... sometime you will found the rubber don't stick well with the sponge... but overall is good.. better than previous version of PF4... very good for beginner who want to improve their strokes..
Black version medium thick version ..
Excellent rubber if u r on budget .Very similar to hurricane 3 neo commercial
Spin and speed is little less than hurricane 3 neo
Control is definitely better
Smash and block are similar to hurricane 3 neo..
It's basically a tamed version of hurricane 3 neo at half the price
