Giant Dragon 612

I've tried everything on the marketplace, and this is by far the most deceptive rubber to play against, hard to control but if you get to master this rubber you can beat high rated players. I've beaten players up to 2300+ hard to say how you should use it, it plays like a short and a long pimple. If you are a long pimple player you will have an attack option and you need to adjust your blocking game. if you play like a short pip you can hit two going forward but the third one you need to adjust the angle. Also you need to have a strong forehand / footwork and also learn how to twiddle. Currently I am using Dr. Neubauer matador texa carbon and butterfly 09c on fh.

I am playing this rubber for 2 months. It is hybrid between long pips and out pips , pips are longer then many LP. Not easy to tame this beast , but for oponent is this rubber very deceptive too , with impressive disruptive effect. Highly recomended for active play over the table and for players comming from LP and watching for something more offensive .It is necesary take some time to adjust to this rubber.Not so high back spin in defensive strokes far from the table .Edit 03/2018:After Tests Neubauer Aggressor 1,8 and 1,3mm I went back to GD612. In combination with my hinoki carbon blade Xiom Strato has GD612 for me more gears and better control in passive strokes and counters as by Dr.N. Agg. rubber..Edit 04/2018: After testing Dawei 388C-1 1,8mm I stay to play with 612. Better grip for flip , better block possibilities ,speed in the rally decrease when will you...

I like this pip. Mines loaded on a thick cream sponge, which is pretty springy. Options for all strokes are impressive. Can chop, float, and smash very well. Probably more floaty than say long pips, but attacking possibilities are better. I like the fact you can play defensively without too much effort. But then, change to tactical attack by moving ball around. Twiddle for best results. All in all a fun rubber that plays mostly floaty game with great attack...another thing I like is quality, and the pip spacing for the grip...something often overlooked by manufacturers. It's nice to be comfortable when playing.
