It seems that phthalocyanin blue has a magic, it makes blue sponge with better elasticity and energy; New designed rough frosted rubber surface gives rubber high friction force, rough frosted rubber and optimized composition of blue sponge, finally that is Blue Ckylin rubber and sponge with high friction and elastic force. Please enjoy the distinctive sense of playing.

Fitted play: Loop / Quick Attack

Good rubber for 11$ :). Rubber has light blue sponge which is very soft, and i mean very soft along the lines of Vega Euro. Top sheet is transparent but strangly on a thick side with medium size pips. Rubber does not come in vacuum pack but standard plastic wrap with paper cover around. There is also a protective sheet over the rubber. Spin: For 11$ as much as you gona get :) Nothing short of much more expensive tensors. I would say very simular to LKT (soft or sound) version of the rubber. Speed: Hmmm, very fast in blocks (it is bit difficult to control), most of pasive shots are much faster then you would expect. When you start looping it slows down a bit due to the softness but you still maintain more then sufficiant speed to finish off. Control: About the only thing i did not like. It felt bit bouncy in a short game, and faster you go slower it gets. Blocking feels difficult also (overshooting). Other: Just slight amount of tack on top sheet. Not big of a factor in a game. Ckyling has a high throw (big shock for me). I cant comment on durability or production quality since i tired only one sheet in red, but from previous experiance with reactor that department should be good. Recommendation: If you like CJ 8000 Bio, Vega Euro, Sriver soft, Tutle B 4... this is for you. If you like playing hard tacky rubbers then stay away :) Biginers and inter med players from Europe have solid chances of likeing this rubber. Have fun :)

Atrached this rubber on my Nexy Dexter. With boost, i can say its a good buy. I liked it due to the fact that i can do top & side spins with less effort due to its short stroke but spinny capabilities. Even recommended to my best player who uses ZJSZLC. I can say that he likes it too due to the short stroke spins but spins the ball nicely. A highly recommended rubber for those looking for cheap priced products. I stocked 2 pcs for my future use incase the rubber wont last long. Be updating my review as to the durability.

Cheap price, decent quality but will not keep up with modern spin and speed standards. Easy and fun to play with and consistent but not for competition or club level play. Not even Booster-compatible as it has a porous, sort of built in speed glue imitation blue sponge. It does look factory tuned and bound to fail even more if boosted.

It's a slow rubber, not very spinny I've tried with Off blades and it's not that bad. Tough is not the right rubber for me I rather stay with the Donic Bluefire JP series. Is a cheap grippy rubber, if you don't want to spend tons of money it's good. I'll recommend using other similar price DHS rubbers such as Skyline, since you'll get more out of it.

Maybe I got unlucky but this turned out to be a pretty slow rubber. I was actually trying to get something around (OFF-) close to Palio Hidden Dragon, but this one was certainly slower, at least in the beginning - but I was comparing that to a new PHD as well. Somewhat sticky/tacky (not like Hurricanes and Skyline, of course) with quite a lot of control. However I cannot recommend this to attacking players unless you put it on some really fast blade (like, say, Yinhe T-2,3,4,8 or similar). Medium hardness, seems quite durable, no catapult. Certainly better as FH rubber imho, and definitely for a player who stays close to the table.
