Friendship/729 Phoenix II

Review of Friendship/729 Phoenix III write a review for the soft variant. The rubber is very tacky and very soft. It is not very fast. It is very good usable for European style of table tennis. Softness can compares to the softest European style rubbers like Xiom Omega IV Elite or Vega Elite for example.I play this rubber on a very fast OFF+ blade (Thor 8.0) on both sides, therefore the slow playing speed is fine. Together it makes a very controllable ALL+ to Off bat. One of the rubbers strengths is also its low weight. On standard size Blade 157x150 one side should weight around 40g. Chopping is easy and also topspins and flicks. You can really take the Ball with you on Topspin Movements. Behavior of the rubber is also quite linear in general. Only when you Chop a ball very very soft the ball gets slower then linear behavior would do because of the tackyness. I think this is an easy to play rubber and regarding the price with around 15 EUR at Aliexpress, it is really a good alternative to hybrid rubbers. Only real difference is the slow speed so this is best used on fast blades. Chopping and Blocking is easy even on OFF+ blades. When attacking its is producing good enough speed though, but of course it is not as fast as a hard rubber. Sep 11, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Friendship/729 Battle 3

Review of Friendship/729 Battle 3Was playing the 38 Degree Version in Black on an Arbalest Bogen.The rubber is very controlled, not very fast in passive game. It can create A LOT of spin. Is one of the spinniest rubbers out there. It is very tacky, the dotz test ball nearly doesn't jump of the bat at all. Its fast enough for me. The Rubber behaves very linear, so there can be a lot of variation of which kind of ball you play, depending on your movements. It is relatively easy to attack underspin balls with it. I could attack balls which i wasn't able to attack with other rubbers. In short game / chopping you have to put a bit more effort compared to a european rubber, because the strong tackiness is slowing down balls in the short game. You have to adapt to it. The rubber is not brick hard as Battle 2 Standard version. It does not need much adaptation. If you are used to european hybrid rubbers, you can directly start and play Battle 3 right out of the box. The rubber has enough speed for me, you can attack well with it even though it is not one of the fastest rubbers out there. Probably the 40 degree version is faster. Even with 38 Degree version hard attack balls are very difficult to block for the opponent, because they are rather flat curve. One of the strengths of the rubber is the high amount of variability in your strokes. You can play stronger curved top spins, but also flat ones, much underspin, lower underspin. The opponent always has to read that correct. I have the feeling that more elastic european (tensor) rubbers don't offer the same amount of variation, because the rubber does much "on its own". With Battle 3 you can vary from extreme amounts of spin to lower amounts, just depending on your movement with the bat and your wrist. Sidespin balls even curve the flying curve of the ball, because there is so much spin in them. Mar 23, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||

Palio AK 47 Blue

Review of Palio AK 47 BlueThis is a good rubber, that can do everything that table tennis needs. It is very insensitive to incoming spin and it is easy to loop with. It produces good spin, but is not as spinny as the way more expensive top rubbers.This rubber is very affordable and pretty good for it. Especially topspins are very easy with it. Due to the insensitivity for incoming spin you can loop very consistently with, also on underspin. Very fun to play with. Worth mentioning is also the very low weight. Uncut my rubbers weight 51-52 g. So cut on a normal blade size the weight was just around 41 grams. So if you are going for a light setup, this also might be a good option.
