Donic Acuda S2
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Donic Acuda S2This is a very reliable rubber. Not a speed demon, but paired with a somehow harder blade like Yasaka's Ma Lin Extra Special, has the power to finish the point. Ma Lin Extra Special paired with this rubber offered a nice dwell time, giving more control and spin. Loops very well. Great choice for those looking for something more aggressive than classic rubbers such as Sriver but with good control.Oct 26, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Donic Bluefire JP 02
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Donic Bluefire JP 02Great speed for a medium hardness rubber. Despite the fact that the topsheet is not as grippy as, say, Donic's Acuda S2, this is a spinny rubber, but I tend to think that the spin is unleashed when engaging the sponge. Quite springy, so requires a somewhat good technique to prevent overhitting. Pairs well with OFF- to OFF blades like Xiom's Offensive S and Yasaka's Ma Lin Extra Special. Quite heavy for a rubber of such hardness.Feb 23, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||

JOOLA MAXXX-P
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of JOOLA MAXXX-PReliable rubber. Excellent control and grips the ball well. Feels softer than what I was expecting after reading the reviews, softer than Acuda Blue P2 and Bluefire JP 02. Feels quite spin sensitive, so you may need some time to adjust to that, especially when blocking spinny loops. Using this on my RPB.Oct 20, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Sanwei Target

||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Sanwei TargetOut of the package, the tack was crazy, or maybe I was easily impressed, this being my first chinese rubber. The ball wouldn't even bounce once when dropped on the rubber. Nice controlled spinny rubber. No tension effect, so the speed is all up to you. I believe this might be a great rubber for those looking for something better than the ones attached to these premade bats. Pretty cheap also, but the sponge is quite fragile and can be detached from the topsheet without much effort, so be careful if removing and reglueing this one.EDIT: The tackiness helps grip the ball, but there isn't really that much spin produced. Reduced the spin ratings. Oh, and pairs well with faster blades, which would provide higher gears. I've glued this one on a 7-ply penhold blade, 9-ish mm. Oct 20, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||
Stiga (1)

Stiga Genesis M
|
||||||||||||||||||
Review of Stiga Genesis MWay different from Yasaka's Rising Dragon on my Stiga Offensive Classic WRB. The Genesis M has a harder sponge AND a harder topsheet, which isn't tacky at all. This way, it has less dwell time and less control. Throw angle seems a little bit higher, but the ball dips more into the table. I'm still getting used to it. Feels pretty heavy. <<Update 1>> After some time, the feeling of uncontrollability diminished considerably. Maybe the rubber broke in. I also got used to the additional weight of my new setup. Feels very spinny, I've been scoring significantly more with serves and spinny loops. But I still don't find it as reliable as Yasaka's Rising Dragon. There's not that much forgiveness.Jul 30, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||

Xiom Musa III China
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Xiom Musa III ChinaBought this one from AliExpress. Comes in a cardboard package and there's a plastic sheet covering the topsheet, which has a little tackiness to it ::::: Despite being from the Musa rubber series, this one has the Hyper Elasto technology, which means it has a lively sponge ::::: Compared to Stiga Genesis M, it's tackier, heavier and has an overall softer feel. Seems closer to an european rubber than a chinese one ::::: This rubber is quite fast and unforgiving, but it rewards good form. Looks like it was made for loopers ::::: Not the best choice when serving, could be spinnier ::::: Cheaper than most tensor rubbers, it feels like a great deal, but can't say much about it's durability yetFeb 23, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||
Yasaka (2)

Yasaka Rising Dragon
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Yasaka Rising DragonSoft, slightly tacky and very grippy topsheet paired with a medium-hard sponge. Grips the ball well and is a little bit more linear than regular tensor rubbers, thus making it suited for every part of the game, from serving to receiving, slow looping to driving, flicking to smashing. Indeed feels like a hybrid, not really leaning toward any end, but gathering characteristics from euro, jap and chinese rubbers.Feb 23, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Yasaka Rakza 9
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Yasaka Rakza 9Using a 2.0mm on my Stiga Offensive Classic WRB RPB.Great speed, spin is pretty good too, my RPB flicks work well with this rubber. As time passed by, the speed decreased, but the spin production capabilities are still good, so I'm quite impressed. You have to time the ball well, not much forgiveness. Overall, great rubber, would definitely use it again, maybe in max thickness for more speed. Feb 23, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||
