Hi guys after i used this rubber for 1 month, in my opinion this rubber characteristics suitable for beginner player because the beginner player need a very high control for adapt the stroke ,9000D have good control,medium spin,and medium speed,i used 9000D for my FH with yinhe t8s blade,i think if you have a stiff blade very recommended for use this rubber with a lower price !
Before I start I’d like to say that this is my very first custom rubber that I have used (I have used a few pre made paddles before) and I’d like to say that I’m a Chinese penholder who uses tpb and Rpb and is also in high school so I’m still very much a beginner and as of now have been using this rubber for almost 3 months. I use this rubber on my forehand and its a very good rubber for it and also a good rubber for tpb and is able to do tpb topspin’s it seems to have (to me) good speed not slow but not too fast either and it’s also decent for blocking especially tpb blocking, but it is really good at countering shots (back a bit ago I rarely blocked and wanted to be able to with a little bit of getting used to the rubber I’m now confident when blocking with this rubber). Compared to the pre made paddles I’ve used, this rubber has a lot of spin and is very good for serves, push’s, chops, and loops. The control is also very good, good enough for a beginner. Its gears are decent too from what it seems (this is my first rubber so can’t dive too deep in this). I will say overall this rubber is pretty consistent especially for a beginner but it’s throw angle isn’t very high especially for a beginner and that compared with the above average consistency makes it sometimes very hard to get the ball over the net sometimes ( I am still inexperienced with this rubber so maybe it’s just that I’m not used to it fully but I would like to get out as this is what I am experiencing). But that is all I can say for my honest review, overall the rubber is very good and doesn’t lack on anything it’s also definitely not bad for flat shots like drives and smashes but it is definitely better and more aimed towards loops and more spin oriented shots. Then again I am still very much a beginner and is still learning so this is just a honest review from a beginner’s perspective. I recommend this rubber
I like this rubber, on bh you can get quality shots. Only problem is the lack of spin. Is 20/30% less then high quality rubbers. This makes a huge difference. Medium throw, Maybe a H3-50 clone?
I am writing this review as a Traditional Penholder challenging myself with an extreme budget limit, I live in Asia, I used a Yinhe N-9s Penhold Allround (10 USD here) and this rubber on one side (4 USD here). The price is very low for a setup and the performance wasn't crappy at all. The Spin was quite amazing and deceptive, I brushed the ball with Ma Lin Chop Block style and the result was a fast straight bouncing ball, BUT I played it to my opponent (Shake Hand) Backhand side and suddenly the ball got this sidespin that launched the ball away from the table as soon as he blocked it. Then backspin is very good, Penhold Snaking under the table makes a ball with extreme backspin such that after the ball hits the table at your opponent side, it just goes back to your side quickly. Please note that this is achieved by proper techniques, NOT solely by the rubber. Speed was OK to a but good. I can achieve TPB Smashes that are quick and deadly, and tbh, 50% of my points came from here. Control is good, returning serves is very threatening, especially backspin serves, because the ball has a kick effect and goes fast and low. Blocks against Topspin when hit with a bit open angel off the bounce resulted in the same result as a backspin serve return. Tackiness is nice, as long as you care for it by cleaning the rubber regularly, it holds for 9 months (so far it is 9 months since I set it up) Weight is average, nothing special. Hardness is Medium and I reccomended you to get this as a starting rubber the move to the next rubber (I reccomend Dawei 388a-4) as soon as you learn the basics. Average gears, Meaning Machine Gun type players (speed and reflex) are quite comfortable with this rubber. A good throwing angle because it's medium low, mastering it will make you deadly, and the consistency and durability is amazing, only 3-4 pimples in the edge has been destroyed. (IT'S MY FAULT slamming it to the table) and Overall, this is good, better than 9000E for Trad Penholders
