Review of Andro Rasant Beat4/4/2017-Good rubber,awesome control.Spin and speed are good too.Sounds awesome when I hit hard.But main feature is control with this level of speed +spin
29/August/2020 update-Using the same old rubber-3 years old......pretty amazing,now that my game is a notch up.Its a BH beast.Best dwell time of all rubbers I have used.Slow speed in blocks,but can kill with fast hits.Serves well.Spin is good,but not too spinny like BARACUDA(donic).If you use lot of wrist in your BH to loop and brush-this is am amazing looping rubber.Can like backspin with ease.I have it on Trieber Z(Andro blade)

Review of Andro RasantI love this.Afetr I started using it,I realised what is speed and what is control.I can even return fast shots from 10 feet away.....always lands where I want.Mind you when I try this with other rubber......fail a lot.I am using it on Andro Trieber z blade.

Review of Andro Rasanter R3711/20/2017:Amazing control,net play is amazing.Spin is also amazing,not the spiniest.....not like Baracuda...but good enough.This speed+spin allows me to loop....as I can have great blade speed,hit with power and still loop the ball down.I think for me the best thing about this rubber is the amazing CONTROL.Not very sensitive to incoming spin.I am using it on a fast blade-Yinhe T11+
Update-Just similar to old RASANT BEAT

Review of Andro Rasanter R42Amazing control,speed manageable,not too fast,and spin in decent like Rakza 7(maybe a tiny bit less).Spin reduces A LITTLE BIT in 4 weeks(playing 4 hr/d).But still a good rubber.

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 0517-06-2018:-Amazing rubber,but not easy to use if you are just recreational player who does not like to do hours of practice drills.Flat hits will always go out-very bouncy.Even high balls have to be looped...not hit flat.But if you loop drive.....boy ...the ball is grabbed by the rubber and looped in a lovely arc--beautiful to see,great sensation and feeling....just admire your shot...lol.Short game is not easy.Chop/push is below the quality offered by Rakza 7...or goldarc 8.Underspin serve is too spinny....opponent look at their blade to see if the ball was wet...lol...I love it.
key Points:-
1.BH flick is awesome.....lifts backspin easily wit proper technique(took me 2 yrs to get a mild hold on this)
2.Serve is ok....not the most spinny,but still very strong
3.Snakes=best rubber for this shot.
4.Loop drives=lethal
5.Blocks= average....its a attacking/looping rubber.....blocks need huge adjustment in blade angle,even then most will go out.Best blocking rubber=Nanoflex FT48,Joola Mambo-H,Aurus,Diginics(too good).
6.This save ur energy-you don't need to use all your power/energy-now I know why TIMO BOLL seems to be hitting baby swing shots,but the have such venomous spin and speed too.

Review of DHS NEO Hurricane 3I am an intermediate player,40+,when I first used this rubber,I felt I made a mistake or I was given a fake.But then as I kept at it....3-4 hours,I realised that if you hit softly-it feels a dead rubber,but if you put some real brute power the speed and sound is awesome.I was thinking that its good for Chinese style loops....but I think what it means is if you hit with a lot of power the rubber grips and wakes up the sponge.I now love this rubber.So cheap.Must try rubber if you hit powerfully on FH.
Update-Amazing rubber,great control, slow hits are slow and fast hits are supppper fast with magical click /tok sound.
Update=19-1-2018-1 year intermittent use,I have gotten better and now I play with better player....they have amazing spinny loops that are hard to block or counter loop.....now this is where I find this rubber magical....I can counter loop very spinny loops of my opponents.....winners mostly!!!! update:9 Sept,2018-->Love this even more......Using it on my BH(surprisingly).....works so well...........I have worked on my BH........speed is very good.

Review of DHS Hurricane 8November,2017-->Played few games on a Carbonado 145.Must say the loops were magically low and on target all the time.Speed was awesome.I deliberately did not tell my partners that I am using this...but they all commented on the sudden jump in the quality of the loops.But...but.....its super heavy.So if you are used to 160-170 grams set up...this will be 200+ gms...so keep it in mind.Spin ,control and speed all are amazing.And the rubber exudes great draftsmanship/quality/looks.Obviously the blade also had a bit to do with this.But on the other side I had Rakza 7,which is a great rubber too in itself,but the loops with H8 were a pleasure to execute.More elastic than h3 neo.
Update:30-July-2018-I am updating spin to 9.5.Again I find this a very unique looping rubber.Now I am using it on Yinhe T11+ blade(balsa/carbon).Great spin,ball cures like crazy on side spin shots.Pure joy to loop.Blocking is so easy to control.Great durability,takes many blows on the table -still not damaged.Great for serve receives(despite the tackiness........I think tackiness somehow kills opponent spin on serve receive.Use tibhar rubber cleaner+plastic protection sheets.

Review of DHS Gold Arc 8have it on my Nittaku Acoustic-is a ballistic weapon.My loops are so fast,spinny,pin point accurate.Work of art.Better than Rakza 7 even Tenergy 05(....I can't use that rubber I feel....need better technique though).

Review of DHS Hurricane 3-50Use this rubber on FH if you can hit hard...loops will be amazing,balls kick up from the opponents side of the table.If you hit slow,rubber seems lifeless,as soon as effort is put,it is a looping monster.I have it o stiga infinity(VPS).

Review of DHS Hurricane 3 (H3)4 MARCH,2018-using red (max thick).Beautiful looking rubber,surface looks high quality.Seems dead on hitting slow.Once I hit hard-loops so well....sponge is awakened like a GIANT.Great on FH,power loops .Control is mind blowing...I hit the lines so often.Great chops,serves very spinny.Loops are loaded with spin-opponent blocks-fly off the table.This rubber forces you to use full-body swings, to discover this rubber's high gear- loops are on par with tensor rubbers, with correct technique.

Review of DHS NEO Skyline 3 TG313 March,2019:-Good rubber.Looks pretty like all DHS rubbers.Great logo.Great spin.Its magical for blocks.If I block aggressively-its speed is amazing.Blocks always land on table....no matter the amount of topspin my opponent puts on the ball.Pushes=great.Serve+returns=great too.Brilliant rubber.You need to be strong to use it.Very taxing on the body/shoulders.Love the cracking sound on my blocks.I use red,39 degrees on FH.Looping is good.

Review of Donic Baracuda9/19/2014:I started playing 30 days ago.This was after a gap of 15 years.I was in my college TT team.
I have never been a good looper....I bought Baracuda....and magic I am a deadly looper now.Awesome spin,awesome loop....give so much please to loop with this.Opponent at my club flummoxed with my new skills.
I am very happy with my serves,chops are great too,control is the best I have ever had.Take my game to a new level so easily.I play 2 hr daily for last 30 odd days.
Update-9 May,2018-Came back to this rubber....same sheet mind you...4 yrs old sheet...still great spin....I love the snakes I manage with this rubber....best spin of all rubbers.I use it on my BH on Sanwei Fextra....great for loops,serves.
4 May ,2019-Not good for blocking.

Review of Donic Coppa JO Gold1/19/2017:In the club where I play ,this is a very very popular rubber.I tried when I was starting out,did not find it special,could not control it.Went back to slower rubbers(Mark V,Baracuda),practised more,then came back.Now I find it shockingly fast,I can kill chops of my opponent with fast killer loops,the loops are low though.Speed is out of this world.Spin is also not too bad.Overall I love this,When I hit most opponent turn away....that's how hard the hits are.
Update 12Oct,2020-It is a very very durable and fast rubber,with decent spin.Main quality is speed,can hit from close to the table.Also can counter loop 10 feet away from the table.I now have it on Butterfly Primoac(wood).Beautiful combo.

Review of Donic Bluefire M3Using it with Stiga VPS diamond touch,I think its a wrong combo.But the rubber is good.Blade I think is very poor.Or maybe I dont have the technique to use vps.
UPDATE-NOV 2017-BOTH VPS+M3 ARE GOOD.Looping monster,very good control.Sponge is very delicate...or rather the Donic glue is the worst ever....it tears all the sponges when removing the rubber.Andro glue=awesome.

Review of Donic Bluefire M212/12/2017-Tried the red rubber(FH) on Stiga Offensive Classic.I must say it loops magically,very good arc and spin.Brilliant control.A loopers dream rubber.No lightening fast,but decent speed.I felt serves were the strongest point when I used it.I could serve very spinny and short,occasional fast serve resulted in an ace(so not a slow rubber).Update 17 Nov,2019:Very good+durable.Geat pushes(too spinny and low),chops,blocks,serves-now using on force pro-Black:good match

Review of Donic Bluestorm Z2Love this one.Using it on my BH....helps to receive serves...so I feel its insensitive to incoming spin,great control and spin is pretty good too(less than Goldarc 8)..Speed is fast(less than Goldarc 8).So I love it on my BH.UPDATE(9 March,2018)--->super quality+long lasting rubber.Great for all shots,including loops+chops/pushes.

Review of Gewo NanoFLEX FT40Using the black one on my FH(max thick)-on DHS 301 blade.Lovely sound.Great spin,speed is not too much so it allows us to hit hard,swing fully -still ball lands on table.....beautiful high arc.Great control.Will update as I play more
Update(5 March,2018)-I feel its just too slow....can't loop kill...even old people able to return it easily....I think its only good for practicing looping technique.....as most balls land on table.Need to improve the consistency of my loops....so will stick to it for few months.........I may TRY IT ON--- Yinhe T11+ carbon(super fast blade).
Update-18 April,2018-speed too slow-revised to 7.9

Review of Gewo NanoFlex FT4827Jan,2019:Amazing rubber.Great speed,decent spin.Very good on my BH on Waldner Senso Carbon blade.It shines in lifting backspin and in blocks.Blocks are accurate and fast.Chop blocks are terrific too.Spin is quite good,less spinny than my Palio 40-42 hardness red rubber.Hitting winners on serve receives is a breeze due to its speed and control,Throw is low to low medium,

Review of JOOLA Mambo H17 Nov,2019:Very good rubber,not bad for the cost.Amazing for blocks,if you hit hard-speed is not less,not lightening fast,but you will end the point on hard well directed hits.To use it we must make the ball go deep into the rubber....engage the sponge.Control on blocks is a joy.But blocks are not rocket like.Amazing looping rubber,very low throw for me-maybe my style,I like it on FH.

Review of Palio Hadou 40+28-9-2018:Love this one.Amazing gem of a rubber.I have it in black(40-42 HARDNESS) on my BH on a ultra fast Yinhe T10+Cypress balsa blade.I can easily lift backspin....wow,I love it.Very good for blocks,super control.Good serves+receives.Update(20,Oct,2018)-Best BH rubber so far,I have never been able to do banana flicks on chop/backspin serves...this one is making me do it easily.Maybe the light and fast blade is also helping.This is the most amazing rubber...........if I want I can make the ball dead...no spin.....when needed....serves are very spinny...but the best is the BH kills on backspin serves....supppper fast.So this rubber has too many gears,.The feel of the rubber and the sound makes it seem like a very soft rubber...thud sound.But for wristy BH strokes and loops,loop drives...this is amazing.
Update 5 April,2019-Chinese rubbers need lot of hitting power to show their full potential..........I do prefer only fast blades for Chinese rubbers in addition to having a fairly strong motion for my FH loops.With slow blades Chinese rubber feel dead...........but on a fast blade like t11+ or t10+ Yinhe blades...they are amazing.Even a player like me can have the satisfaction of swinging side spins like Xu Xin.Hadou 40+ is a great rubber....hits,loops ,blocks all rock.
Update 3:10 Nov,2019:This is simply a great rubber-poor mans Tenergy 05(which also I have).Sponge breaks easily on removing from blade-can't be re-used or re-glued.
Update 4:30-10-2020-Spin fades away pretty fast on regular use.But still a very good rubber.Very good for looping,lovely low throw angle,ball dips and lands deep,never goes out-I have it on Viscaria(butterfly).

Review of Palio HK1997 Gold30 Nov,2020:This is a combo of Euro+Chinese rubber.Tacky surface,very spinny,speed not bad.Very cheap.I have it on Gatien crown AR(very fast blade,not AR as the company says).
Update:19-12-2020:I must say it's an amazing rubber for both BH,FH.Currently I'm.using for my BH.....great serves,very good control,one of my favourite now ,very easy to lift backspin......shines here.Blocking great too.Has good power,not ultra bouncy like Euro rubbers,but not your typical slow dead feel Chinese rubber for sure.Its very easy to play service return can be kept very short due to tackiness and it's magically insensitive to incoming spin.Just love it.

Review of Tibhar Evolution MX-PUsed it in max thickness,red,FH.played 6 hrs only so far.Best rubber I have used ever.Better than Andro rasant.Shoots the ball,great catapult effect,huge spin that is speedy,ball kicks off the table like a cobra.Amazing control for a fast rubber.Suprisingly chops are awesome and its not very sensitive to incoming spin.....so good for serve receives.My friend used it for >1 yr,so I know its very durable.Cost is not too high.I am using it on Yinhe ZLC venus 4.
Will update if there is new info.

Review of Victas VS > 402 Double ExtraVery grippy surface-good spin and loop.....but brush loops slip off at times with a squeaky noise....we need to hit hard,so the ball sinks in th sponge and then spin is amazing,good speed to.Good med high arc,shots land deep,ball rarely goes out as its not super fast.Blocks are good too.But best blocking rubber is rakza 7 soft and gold arc-8.Spin is less than baracuda,but the sponge does not bottom out even on hard hits,catapult is quite good-amazing infact.Ball slips off the rubber if footwork is not good and u can't reach the ball to hit hard---so this rubber will fail if we don't hit hard.So its difficult to get balls on the table unless u are fast and have good footwork to reach the ball to be able to swing real hard and activate the sponge-unlike other soft rubbers that can make shots even at awkward angles.

Review of Xiom Vega Europe4/20/2018:Bought on recommendation of user :"superspin''. Amazing rubber.Best rubber for me to loop and lift backspin.I have never looped so beautifully....high to medium high arc+loops land very deep with great speed.I have on it DHS 301 blade.Super light rubber,cut rubber was 40 grams only-lightest I ever used.High grade topsheet-very grippy,bit tacky,Very good for pushes,accurate placement.net play awesome, I can play until mid distance also without problem. My FH flick for receive has skyrocketed.Update:20 March 2018-had to remove as a friend hit it on table creating a hole.But while removing the sponge showed how strong it was.
Update-31 August,2019-Still feel it's a great rubber,but topsheet is fragile........ruptures easily.But spin is still intact after more than 1 year.Blocks are too good.

Review of Xiom Vega Pro5/12/2018-Did not like it that much....maybe it doesn't suit my style.The quality is awesome,but its hard....needs lot of effort to get the full potential of this rubber.....I think spin way less than rasant and rasant beat or even rakza 7 soft.Control-not as good as above mentioned rubbers.....but it's cheap+very durable.I have it on Andro Trieber -Z
Update-23 May 2019:Since I have been practicing a lot,and have improved a lot,I love this rubber.Better than Tenergy05 as it's easier to control.Ball can be hit very hard...still lands on table due to the spin.T-05...too bouncy...goes out...need more skill to control.

Review of Yasaka Mark VMark V is not slow,I used to think it is a beginners rubber....but as you develop your game...it shows you more gears...I can hit spin shots that spin sideways 2-3 feet.Also it is fast enough with great control. It excels at close to table play with great touch for the short game as well as looping, hitting and quick counters.Very consistent.
Update-4 March 2018_some od the best players in my club still use this....they hit amazing spin and speedy loops.So the advanced players can create magic with this rubber.....''too many gears''-suited for beginners as well as the advanced players.

Review of Yasaka Rakza 7DEC ,2017,Brilliant rubber....most players in my club now use this.Consistency is the middle name of this rubber.Started using it on the Recommendation of my friend .Takes few hrs to show full potential.
Update-This is my go to rubber now.Great in fast loops(medium arc ,much less than Tenergy 05),flat hits,serves,returns.Its mind blowing in blocks,when I stand close to the table and block people ask me if I am using ''anti-spin rubber''-as the control is amazing.Update(17-June-2018)-using it again on Rossi Emotion Joola blase....pushing/chopping is amazing,pushes are just too fast,deep if you wish and very low.Best push I ever did with any rubber.I use it on BH,on FH I use Tenergy 05.

Review of Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft4 march ,2018-Have red (max) on BH of DHS-301 blade.Brilliant-maybe the ''best'' rubber(and I have used a lot of them).No need to waste time trying too many rubber if you are not made for experimenting-blindly buy this.Its spin increases as it gets older(first 2 weeks)-then stabilizes.Good ,consistent spin,great loops,blocks are awesome-I love to block fast loops using my BH-ball shoots away from the opponent.Serves are very spinny. It's reactive to incoming spin....so beginners may have issue in receiving.Speed=9.1,spin=9.5(update-15-05-2018)
