I have been using reactor thunder as my back hand rubber. Reason is that it is light and grippy. I change racket depending on my opponent. I used the one with reactor thunder whenever i am playing against a player with has a tendency to return the ball on my backhand. Due to its control and grip i can do rpb repeatedly. My forehand is TG2 Neo. Then came Tornado. It has the control and consistency of the thunder plus more speed and spin. The throw angel is medium low. It glued on a dhs pg9. This combination is awesome. Try it and you will not be disappointed. With thunder at the back i can do almost all strokes. If you want to improve your game and you play offensive style of game with spin coming from the waist and with a long stretched arm arc you will definetly benefit from this combination.
Plays very very similiar to H3, very good rubber for looping, what you put in is what you get out of it. You do need break in time for this rubber to soften up and play for real just like H3 and any other chinese rubber. I tried this out in black on my FH on a YGE and then picked up my W6 with black H3 on FH and it didnt feel like I switched bats.
maybe the spinniest rubber i ever use, the version was a 2.2 blue sponge, lots of spin, really high throw angle, needs more power for the third ball attack or for finishing shots, great for looping!
CORRECTED !!! ... update (from 09/2021): This is the third time, I have experienced something like this (several years after my first purchase) with this rubber! What has happened with this (a little sticky) rubber ??? I bought some years ago some of these rubbers, but no one had such a hard upper rubber and sponge. ... additionally medium catapult (less elasticity) and this weight !!! I specifically asked for a lower weight! The seller send me 3 rubbers , red & black with 2 mm sponge (which is given once as medium and another time as maximum !!!). Weight packed 83 to 87 g. and uncut with film, 61 to 65 g. That ultimately means, cut on my 157 x 150 mm blade, a weight of 45 to 49 grams. For a few years, this rubbers weighed cutted (at the same size) between 40 and 43 g. and their sponge where around 42 degree !!!
Obviously these rubbers are now sold with sponges of different hardness. Two rubbers (bl & red) plays like 45 degree rubbers, one (red) rubber like 50 degree (- which reminds me of a DIGNICS 80 with less catapult, speed and spin!!!) But honestly I can not say, that this rubber is complete bad. I had a lot of fun with it, on my Lemuria Nobilis Hinoki blade on my backhand side. Due to its little catapult and speed, this rubber provides very good control, which is why I had few problems with my opponent's fast balls near the table. I was able to counter many balls or pull against them without any problems. At my forehand I could not get any useful speed into the ball at all. No matter how hard I hit the ball, it just was not picking up speed. Horrible! Conclusion: One can love or hate this rubber (- or tune !!!), but I would prefer the old version from 2017. ;-P
