Andro Hexer Grip SFX

||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Andro Hexer Grip SFXI like it a lot! I use it for BH on Joola flame extreme (OFF blade) and it does everything the way I want it. Previously, I used AK47 blue for my BH and wanted to switch with rubber that has the same sponge hardness (38-40). Hexergrip SFX is a tensor rubber that has 40 degree sponge and makes the rubber has a soft-ish feel. The rubber is also quite light.In terms of performance, I can easily adjust my BH with this rubber within the first try. (I am a BH dominant player). This rubber suits for all-around attacking player because you can do killer loop, block and chop with this rubber. Lifting underspin is easy. I have not found any flaws with this rubber yet. It also seems quite durable because I have hit the edge of the table twice with this rubber and no damage at all. In my opinion this rubber is good on OFF-, OFF, OFF+ blade. Good also on stiff blade. To summarize: Speed is good Spin is very good Control is superb A top notch rubber! Apr 30, 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Nittaku Fastarc G-1

Review of Nittaku Fastarc G-1I have to decide between Joola Rhyzm P and Fastarc G-1 for my forehand. I decided to go with G-1 because of the reviews here and simply because it is one of the best sold rubber in asia. After using it, I am not surprised anymore. :)I put it on Joola Flame Extreme (off blade) on FH. First time using it, I am struggling a bit to control my stroke especially on flat hit, simply because I am using a completely different type of rubber previously (hard sponge, less dwell time). with G-1, the sponge felt medium with more dwell time to generate spin and the speed is fantastic too! the ball used to go away from the table, but after several weeks of practice, I notice that I can loop backspin ball easily especially on the 3rd ball attack setup unlike my previous rubber that usually goes to the net. for me, this rubber is prefect for you who are in intermediate level with tactical attacking playing style. the cons are probably the flat hit can be too fast for some players and counter-looping felt a bit inconsistent sometimes. for more controlled shot, I recommend this rubber to be put in OFF- blade.

Palio AK 47 Blue

Review of Palio AK 47 BlueI put this rubber for my BH. It performs really consistent as I can do everything with this rubber. Blocking is superb, looping backspin is easy, chopping game is decent, smashing is good too. I am a dominant backhand player and budget wise, this rubber worth every penny.Update: after 5 months playing, the spin generated is quiet reduced. I play with it 4-5 times a week so it still makes sense for the rubber to loose some of its ability. Just buy this rubber. It won't hurt you financially unlike the Tenergy series.

Yinhe Apollo 5

Review of Yinhe Apollo 5Best rubber for flat hitters with clicking sound! I always make accurate smash with this rubber. Rubber is quite hard so suits better with flexible blade. Spin is alright but nowhere near Tenergy, Rakza, Rasanter or Fastarc. Boosting the rubber does help increase the speed and spin. You also need a proper technique to execute a quality spin.The rating here is so overrated especially on the spin. I can't believe some people put the spin 10 out of 10! what a nonsense! They probably have not tried using Tenergy or Rakza 7 rubber. I will give 8.5 for spin and 8.8 for speed and I am being generous for it. This rubber is very direct and more speed oriented. good for 3rd attack, chop and counter smash. Also insensitive to incoming spin. I recommend this for those of you with limited budget but don't expect it to be as good as the world top 10 rubbers. May 07, 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Yinhe Venus 3

||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Yinhe Venus 3As marketed by Yinhe, I used it on my BH on Joola flame extreme (off blade). I previously used AK47 Blue so my comparison will be between Venus 3 (med-soft sponge) and AK47 Blue (soft sponge)Venus 3 is a tacky rubber that makes it good for FH as well. In BH the speed is less due to the stroke motion but the springy sponge will help the ball return to the table. The rubber excels in chopping, active blocking and counter topspin. Decent in serving, lifting backspin, opening top spin, flat hit.. not as forgiving as AK47 Blue especially in passive blocking but still get the job done. Suitable for close - mid to the table gameplay, meanwhile AK47 Blue will struggle a bit with close game because of the topsheet. I don't really recommend this rubber for BH attacker unless you have a proper technique. I gave this rubber away to a friend who only do chopping with his backhand and it suits him apparently. Go for AK47 blue if you have limited budget for BH as it can do everything well. May 07, 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
