Friendship/729 Battle II

||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Friendship/729 Battle IITried the the battle 2 2.1mm 39 degree orange sponge for the first time. Placed it on the 2026 Sanwei P20D-FL 5+2 outer LD carbon stiff blade. Speed is really fast with a very high spin, though the throw angle of this rubber is low-medium. trajectory for power drive is more direct and very straight which sometimes it will out of bounce. Coming from DHS G888 2.1mm 40 degree rubber on forehand, this rubber has a medium arc trajectory which is better in flat drive than the battle II. Needs to adjust the angle of the racket everytime I make a flat drive to eliminate out of bounce shots. Top spin is excellent in the battle II because of its low-medium throw, paired with a stiff fast blade makes a very fast, very spinny attack which is hard to counter. The feel of this rubber is crisp and hard on a fast blade which is i'm not yet very familiar. Needs more time getting used to it. The Battle II is better suited for aggressive FH topspin and aggreessive play on a stiff carbon blade. Nevertheless, It's a very excellent FH rubber. Will keep this rubber for a long time and master it.Sep 26, 2026 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Kokutaku Tokyo 730First mounted on a Loki Kirin K3 inner nano carbon blade for BH. Outstanding control on blocking and service return. Remarkable on BH push. Very spinny on service. Great Budget friendly BH rubber. Bought another one and slap it on my 2026 Sanwei P20D-FL outer LD carbon, harder and faster blade. Suprisingly the rubber becomes more bouncy and faster. Feels like japanese/european tensor but with great control. Big win for me!Sep 23, 2026 | |||||||||||||||
