Andro Rasant PowerGrip

Review of Andro Rasant PowerGripThis is a very bouncy, fast rubber. I bought it in red, max thickness. It is very heavy, especially in red. The rubber mass database lists it as one of the top densest rubbers out there. So, if you want light, don't buy this. It is very spinny, and spin is created easily, just like with Tenergy. It is also very fast and bouncy due to it being a tensor. Blocks are great, and flicks and brushes are surprisingly spinny and generally good for a non-tacky rubber. A lot of power can be easily generated with this. I use it on the backhand because I used to have issues with generating power there. If you can already hit hard and just want more spin, this rubber is not the best choice. It is primarily for those who want fast, spinny loops and extra power. It is very good at counterlooping and it sounds terrific, like an old speed-glued rubber. It is for the purely offensive player, but it is still capable of great chops and pushes if the situation requires it.Nov 12, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

DHS Hurricane 3 Provincial (No. 22 Blue Sponge)

Review of DHS Hurricane 3 Provincial (No. 22 Blue Sponge)The perfect rubber for me! I got this rubber in 41 deg. hardness and 2.2mm sponge. I did not boost it, but I have used these rubbers boosted before. In my opinion, a boosted H3 blue sponge is one of the best- if not the best- rubber for loopers and power players out there. However, boosting is expensive and kind of a hassle for me, so I decided to stop doing it. This is a review for an unboosted H3 Provincial Blue Sponge. It is average in speed on passive and low power strokes, which offers great control. It is very fast once enough power is put in. It may be hard to get used to for some people because of this non-linear behaviour. It creates tremendous spin on serves, pushes, and just about anything else. Even my flat kills have a large amount of topspin with this rubber. Brushes are fantastic due to the tacky surface. It is also surprisingly good at chopping because of its good control and hardness, which does not allow the ball to sink into the rubber on chops. Its spin is more than that of T05. In top end speed, it is faster than T05. However, T05 is much bouncier and faster on passive and low power shots. Best results from this rubber come from boosting, and in my opinion T05 is no match for a boosted H3 Blue Sponge. It is available in different thicknesses and hardnesses; I have seen 2.15 and 2.2mm, and 39, 40, and 41 deg; however, there might be more options out there. I found that 41 degrees worked well for me, but it might be too hard for people who don't use as much power on their strokes or for people who want a more bouncy feeling. Do not use this if you want a tensor-like feeling, as it will throw off your game. A slightly different stroke is required to use this rubber effectively- you need a straighter arm on loops and some other things also need to change a little.As a side note, H3 Provincial is generally less tacky than H3 Commercial. I don't know why, it just is. However, it plays much better (in my opinion) than H3 Commercial. Nov 12, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Yasaka Rising Dragon

Review of Yasaka Rising DragonI got this in red, max sponge. It creates a LOT of spin, but has a medium throw angle. It may seem hard to play with at first because it feels Chinese, but with a low throw. The sponge is Japanese, and it feels nice after being broken in. I used mine for 10 months, ~500 hours, and it still worked pretty well towards the end of that time. It serves well, but not at the level of hurricane. It is tacky, but not as much as other Chinese rubbers. However, the Japanese sponge allows the ball to sing in to the topsheet and sponge enough to create extremely spinny loops and pushes. It is medium fast. I'd say it is similar in speed to Rasant Grip, slightly more speed than Xiom Vega Europe. It also has a lot of touch and control. A very good do it all rubber, it is not fast enough to prevent you from being able to play a slow game, and it has enough top end speed for an all-out offensive game or an effective put-away shot. However, I would think it is more suitable for offensive players- if you want the spin and not the speed, try something like Spinlord Marder. Yasaka Rising Dragon is for those who want to play with maximum spin, a good amount of speed, but who don't want to use a completely Chinese rubber. It is also good for those who generally play offensively but vary their game and the speed a lot due to it's touch and control.Nov 12, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
