Friendship/729 Battle II Provincial

Review of Friendship/729 Battle II ProvincialI played with 39° H3 Neo long ago and bought 39° Yinhe Big Dipper to replace H3.. BD's throw is high, it's bouncy and not too tacky, maybe because it's a hybrid rubber so it has an ESN rubber characteristic, it's a good rubber but it just didn't suit me well, I'm struggle with BD, then I bought 39° Battle II Pro to replace BD, the weight is little bit heavy I guess.. I'm surprised with 729 Battle II Pro, it makes me happy even in first stroke.. Glued to DHS PG5 in FH and paired with Palio AK47 Red in BH, 39° is harder than H3 Neo with a same number, I think it's around 53° in ESN rubber & 40° in DHS hardness scale.. It has a medium low throw, very tacky, more spin and more speed than a H3 Neo, serve is spinny, feel and control is very good, dwell time is controllable, you can lift a heavy backspin easily and ball will fly with a low trajectory, and touch game is superb.. Speed is slow when you hit slow and fast when you hit hard.. but remember, this chinese traditional rubber is not for a flat hitter.. This mean it's hard to smash a ball.. But when you attack with top spin & loop, this rubber will be a nightmare for your opponents.. The ball fly with a low trajectory, fast, spinny and jump even lower when it touch a table.. It's sensitive to an incoming spin due to it's tackiness and you should do a proper stroke technique with no hesitation whenever you want to hit the ball.. This rubber is hard to tame, but once you get used to it, you'll love this $24 rubber even more than H3/H3 Neo Commercial.. If you're a player with a chinese style, just try this out..Sep 07, 2022 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Friendship/729 Battle 3

Review of Friendship/729 Battle 3Its just my personal opinion.. I think this rubber is different than any Battle series rubber, the topsheet is more elastic, has a slightly thin & high pips.. The orange sponge looks like a Neo H 3 sponge but its different than HN3, it feels like medium hardness sponge & more elastic.. I try red 38 deg for my backhand on DHS PG5 blade as a replacement for my Hurricane Neo 3 37deg.. Unlike other 729 Battle series or HN3, this rubber has a higher throw angle, longer trajectory & noticably faster but slightly less spin than other rubber mentioned before.. In short game, it has a good control & spin like typical chinese rubber, serve is a good too.. In blocking, I need to close the blade angle more bacause of its higher throw.. Its easy to flick & loop the backspin.. Unlike with Neo H3, smashing is more fun with this rubber.. Speed: B3 > H3/Battle 2/Battle 2 Pro Blue Sponge/Battle Max Pro, Spin: B3 < H3/B2/B2PBS/BMP, Control: B3 < H3/B2/B2PBS/BMP, Tackyness: B3 is less than H3/B2/B2PBS/BMP but last longer, Throw angle: B3 > H3/B2/B2PBS/BMP, 38 deg feel softer among the rubber I mentioned before even with H3 37deg but still harder compared to most Euro/Jap rubber.. If you like tacky chinese rubber on your backhand, this is a good choice.. This rubber is not that slow like other hard tacky chinese rubbers.. I cant review the durability because I just use this rubber only for 2 weeks..Feb 26, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
