Gambler Outlaw (Tuned)

soft topsheet and very hard sponge (like H3 neo 40 or 41). medium-low throw, low arc, not tacky, decent grip, below average spin but also fairly spin insensitive. good for blocking. good speed, though less than tensors. Too hard for beginners on backhand, where you might feel you lack dwell time due to the hard sponge. Good on forehand for beginners though, due to low spin sensitivity. You need to loop with open blade angle. Overall it is a good alternative to hard sponge and soft topsheet rubbers, like s1 turbo. very brittle unfortunately: the sponge tends to rip when you detach it from the blade.

I had this on my BH for a short time. It was bouncy and I enjoyed this at the time as I had only used slower, tacky Chinese rubbers and was looking for a bit more speed. It wasn't very durable, though. I think it was the first and only rubber I cracked hitting the table when I tried it on my fh. I later put it on a mini-paddle and the sponge cracked all around the edges. Weight was about 38 g in red 2.15.

You guys are lot better off buying toilet paper then this!!!! If nothing it last longer then this rubber, well actually let me take that back. Toilet paper and Outlaw Gambler last about the same (one use only!!!). Worse rubber i used in last 10 years or so. No spin, ok speed, no control because it lacks so much spin... It has no tack, no grip, no nothing... John Gotti was better of with nickname Gambler Outlaw Boss instead of Teflon Boss. Nothing could stick to him, or if it did stick by some random cosmic event it would not have enough grip and drag to take him down. So i guess if you are mobster or king pin this rubber is great for your nickname, but TT player stay away from this please!! Extremely overpriced at 15$, unbelievable QC issues, .... Sorry for trashing on DB but i feel obligated to give honest opinion. Enjoy life and have fun playing TT.

topsheet separated from sponge after few hours of playing

Nice price and decent performance. But crumbling at the edges and rubber/sponge separation almost from day one, along with some cracking of the sponge. I had it FH and BH, and I had to junk one sheet after a week of hitting. I have kept one sheet on BH, because it has not begun to separate and pimple yet; but it is crumbling and tearing at the edges too, despite my using the highest quality, sharpest Xacto knife and cutting surface, and not bumping my bat on the table at all. I can get a rubber that lasts for months for $30US, so some quick math tells you Outlaw is not the deal it at first seems. As far as I can tell, I got the quality I paid for, and I didn't pay much.
