Nittaku Sieger PK50

Review of Nittaku Sieger PK50USATT 1500 level intermediate. 2 wing looping, close/mid distance, OFF- game.Fantastic, balanced rubber. Truly on par with 09c. This is the first I've encountered that matches that unique feeling rubber. I have an IF ALC w/ a black sheet of pk 50 and a black sheet of 09C (a red sheet of pk 50 is in the mail to make me legal), and I struggle to tell the difference when I do a blind test. I'm coming from Vega Euro on my BH, which I replaced with pk50. Though very different animals, the speed is pretty similar. However, I get much more depth, penetration, and spin with pk 50. The contrast is most stark with serves, where the pk 50 cuts nasty underspin with ease (and my VE often gets flicked and eatenfor lunch). I've never had a piece of equipment make such a difference with a particular stroke. VE is a safer, more controlled rubber, but not by a whole lot. I would say that the relatively high throw of pk50 has been the only thing that has been a (minor, doable) challenge. This rubber feels perfect for someone like me who is trying to move beyond intermediate status. It is very stable and linear, and I can hit full strokes with confidence. Unlike say T05, it is slow enough to force me to learn proper stroke technique on what are (for me anyways) harder shots on which to add pace (e.g. BH loops from greater than 1 meter off the table). At the same time, it has every gear I need when I add some muscle to shots or slow thjngs down for more a more spin oriented strategy. I read another review that this rubber is a jack of all trades but a master of none. This is spot on IMO. PK 50 may not be the absolute best in any particular category (though the spin is up there in my view); however, it has no weaknesses. I love that while it suits my needs already, I can grow into it for a long time. The "thick" 1.8 version is perfect for me even though I normally go for 1.9-2.1mm. Bravo Nittaku. At nearly the half the cost of 09c, they have created an equal rubber Sep 06, 2023 | |||||||||||||||||

Tibhar Evolution EL-P

||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Tibhar Evolution EL-PI respectfully disagree with those who feel that this rubber lacks spin. I just switched to this from the acuda p2 (no slouch in the spin department), and my coach commented on the impressive spin i was getting with this rubber on my bh. At the same time, this rubber seems very forgiving, especially since it is rather speedy. It is just on the soft side of medium, but noticeably firmer than fx-p rubber (which was too mushy for ny taste). It is very good at pushes and sevice returns, as it is forgiving for an offensive rubber. I like the acuda p2 a lot. However, i am going to stick with this rubber because it has a less flat ball arc, which makes it better for looping underspin. Finally, el-p is good both close and at distanceApr 11, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Xiom Vega Europe

||||||||||||
Review of Xiom Vega EuropeFantastic BH rubber for intermediate level players like me who are two winged loopers. The rubber nearly has the control of a Mark V but with a controllable catapult effect, which, in addition to adding gears, makes VE far more interesting with which to play.Ideal intermediate setup: H301/TBS/INNERFORCE ALC or ZLC + 09C (FH) + Vega Europe (BH).

Yasaka Rising Dragon

Review of Yasaka Rising DragonI love the control on this rubber. Compared to Rakza 7, it's a hair slower, at least as spinny, significantly more controlled, more linear (but still has pop when I need it), and about the same hardness. In my view, it's feel has more in common with Rakza than say a typical Chinese rubber (e.g. Hurricane 3). I love it.Jan 24, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||||||
