Review of KTL (LKT) Rapid Sound

A new one for me, so i can't comment on the consistency or durability, but it certainly looks like a well made rubber.
I put this on the backhand of my Donic Waldner Dotec Hinoki blade, wanting more control and spin on my loops than i could get with the Donic F3 Big Slam... and it really delivered. I don't counter hit on the backhand, but will punchblock, chop, drive and loop where appropriate and this excels at all those area. It isn't as fast as I expected from the name, but if you stay quite close to the table like I do, then the rubber's other characteristics will more than make up for that. So ignore the marketing! This is definitely not a SGE rubber (Speed Glue Effect) - certainly not for anyone who's played with a Euro SGE, and the sound is fairly high-pitched and corky, not like the Big Slam at all. But, for the price (and even ignoring the price) I think this is a good rubber, which has made my backhand slightly slower, but far more dangerous.

Review of Yinhe Venus

An excellent rubber for 3rd ball attack. I use this (2.2mm) on the forehand of a Donic Waldner Hinkoi blade, playing a close to the table, spin-heavy serves, loop, smash and block style game. This is perfectly suited to that. It gets an amazing amount of spin when you load it up with a good loop or chop, but is still surprisingly strong at blocking incoming spin. It is also just fast enough to not be terrible if you get forced off the table. Great rubber!
