Globe 999

Very cheap, good quality rubber. Topsheet was not terribly tacky and it generates huge quantities of spin.

I am reviewing the 2.2mm, 40 degrees, chinese sponge version. this is a tacky, low throw rubber (like 729 super fx) with hard sponge but medium (not hard) topsheet. So it feels considerably softer than H3 neo. Due to this medium topsheet, the dwell time is very high, the ball stays a lot in the rubber , so it's loaded with spin. You need to loop with open blade angle though. ---Another strong point are blocks , that stay low (and short). ---Unfortuntately the rubber is slow. I don't recall how much it reacts to booster and oil. Overall a very good rubber for beginners. It's a heavy rubber. Red is a bit higher throw than black.

I like this rubber for it offers good control with decent speed and great spin. For its price, that's a very nice offer. Great feel also when you hit or chop with it. The only drawback is its sensitive to incoming spin since its tacky.

999 Red, 1.8 mm but looks like 2.0, marked 40 deg white firm sponge. Long lasting tackiness, had mine for 3 years, i moved it on a outdoor blade and - surprise - it s still playable without even using a rubber protector for a long time. Crazy. I played it with Yinhe N6 and N9 and found both combination tricky as a beginner. Difficult to lift backspin and could not loop no spin balls, always needed to commit some power. It blocked short und pushed well on the backhand, this lack of bonce was both safe for me as confortable for the opponent. I think it took almost one year to break in and show a bit of softness. Maybe now it's just worn. I m thinking to rebuy and see what was that about.

Using red in BH...you need effort to brush the ball because it's very slow. I'll recommend it in forehand for controlled chinese strokes. I think it's a high quality made rubber base on my observation for a year even though its very cheap.
