Donic Bluestorm Big Slam

||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Donic Bluestorm Big SlamIt plays well (1750 USATT Modern Defender), real light, but hard to get loads of spin on serves or pushes (might be me). Good spin on chops and blocks well.Jul 05, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Juic 999 Turbo
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Juic 999 TurboI bought a sheet in 1.8 and its quite heavy, similar to Globe 999T 1.8 and quite spinny and tacky. Its faster than the Globe 999T, but similar in speed to the Tibhar Grip-S Europe, ie not very fast. Control hitting was not as good as the Grip-S Europe. It does chop very well, but you really need to hit it hard to win a point by smashing with it.Aug 22, 2014 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Nittaku Narucross GS Soft
|
||||||||||||||||||
Review of Nittaku Narucross GS SoftModern defender - 1663 USATTI've had both the 1.9 and 2.1 on my FH now, and liked it a lot. I like the 2.1 better. Its great for serves and bullet fast drives/smashes, and I can still push and chop with it some. Mar 04, 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||

Nittaku Narucross GS Super-Soft
|
||||||||||||||||||
Review of Nittaku Narucross GS Super-SoftI've been using this in the SuperSoft and the Soft version. I've only used this one in 1.9 mm. Its slower than the soft version on smashes, but does better in short play because it has more spin and better control. I use it on a soft slow DEF+ blade. This is the rubber I play best with.Jul 20, 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||

Tibhar Grip-S Europe Soft
|
||||||||||
Review of Tibhar Grip-S Europe SoftCurrently trying this in MAX. About as fast as Nittaku Narucross GS Soft 1.9 but slower than Rakza 7 Soft 1.8. Chops and serves have significantly more spin than Rakza 7 Soft.Sep 10, 2014 | |||||||||||

TSP Real
|
||||||||||||||
Review of TSP RealBest inverted chopping I've ever seen considering its got a 2.0 sponge. Great control hitting, too, but not wickedly fast.Apr 15, 2013 | |||||||||||||||

Victas VS > 401
|
||||||||||||||||
Review of Victas VS > 401I bought a sheet and tried it for a few weeks. It has good spin, but not as much as Rakza 7 Soft. Control was excellent, but its too slow for me to attack with, at least in 1.8 mm. It is one of the heaviest rubbers I've ever tried. Its great at chopping.Aug 20, 2014 | |||||||||||||||||

Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft

Review of Yasaka Rakza 7 SoftVery good spin.Feb 14, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||

Yasaka Rising Dragon
|
||||||||||||||||
Review of Yasaka Rising DragonSwitched from Rakza 7 soft, which was my best forehand rubber so far. This is faster and has more spin. Serves have more spin. Control is just as good or better, so this is excellent. As I'm getting more used to it, my attacking ability with it is improving, and my chop is almost as good with the Rakza 7 soft, and in a few more months as touch improves both should be better. This rubber is pretty light compared to the other tacky rubbers and is medium tacky, giving it an edge on the shots that need more initial grab, like serves, chops, loops and pushes.Feb 14, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||
