Palio HK1997 Biotech

Good rubber for BH hand because it will not be over powered by smashing to it. Can give good sensitivity in short game and drop shots are possible with my off- blade. In spite of this still a fast rubber. Can chop well and also suits my attacking game. I now use HK1997 on FH and BH. The 36-38 degrees sponge is light. I wish I tried Hk1997 first before all the other rubbers it is that good in the short game. Warning using PO to boost this rubber turned it into a mush.

Le Mark V des chinois .Collé sur un Galaxy N-9 en version 36-38 deg . Ça avance ,ça spin tout ça avec du contrôle . Le topsheet décolle et s'use rapidement . 4 mois de ping et capoute . Fonctionne bien sur le coup droit et le revert . Dynamique et impressionnant en attaque avec un bon spin mécanique .

I have now used this rubber for about 3 months and it's perfect for beginners/intermediate. It's average at every thing except from throw angle, it's loops are not very good at all and when your quite far back from the table you just can't hit the ball far enough. Over all this is a great rubber to start with.

Glued rubber with Rubber cement both paddle and rubber. Not worth the time to test it after gluing as its a dud but 12 to 14 hours after gluing it shows excellent capabilities. Overall this is an outstanding brushing rubber,backspin and forehand loops, forehand and backhand topspin loops. The backhand loops off topspin was so easy almost unreal. Good attacking topspin drives but not as crisp or violent as tensor provides but a high percentage stoke in that it stays on the table. Brushed serves stay on the table with good lateral and backspin movement. Unlike Tensors this rubber requires a player to pay attention and stroke the ball properly rather then just hitting or flipping the wrist for some spin. Shots on or around the table show lots of control and have a nice soft touch. Not a strong counter drive rubber but good control. Overall this is an excellent rubber for players that brush the ball and want good control over serve depth and length. tested this rubber on a BBC trifex 7 ply skinny.

Used this last night in training for the 1st time. Three hours of training on the FH of a Dawei GTS Off blade in Red 2.15mm, 36-38 degrees. Good speed good spin, not as spinny as CJ8000 40-42 biotech but softer and a little more speed. Good for attacking serves, good control, you can do alomost anything with this rubber for close to mid distance. Not a speedy rubber but fast for a chinese rubber. I liked this rubber, it also perfoms quite well as a BH rubber if you like to attack, good control on blocks good on chops but excels when playing a driving spin game. Will try the harder veriation to compare at a later date. Worth a try at the price sellers are selling at on ebay.
