Review of JOOLA Maxxx 450

Bad rubber for backhand. This rubber is the most inconsistent rubber I ever tried. You hit the ball 10 times in the same way, it goes in 10 different directions. Sometimes you hit the ball and it just doesn't do anything, dies into the net, sometimes you hit it and flies 3m above the table, sometimes you get the occasional good shot when doing a strong topspin shot with the bat angle very closed (angle parallel to the table).

Playing with this makes you lose all your confidence in your strokes and makes you wonder what went wrong after each shot and why the ball went where it went. It also feels like it react heavily to incoming spin. Might be a better FH rubber, but for BH it's unusable as it only has one gear (hit the ball hard with bat closed topspin).

Review of Xiom Jekyll & Hyde C55.0

Good hybrid rubber that requires good technique. When you do the right thing, the ball quality is insane, but if you play lazy the ball just dies on the bat because of the tacky topsheet + hard rubber. It is also very spin-reactive, especially on incoming topspins you have to close your bat more or go more towards the net when hitting.

It has very good control in active blocks, it's very direct and has very low throw (which sometimes makes it a bit harder to lift backspin). It feels like a hurricane 3 sometimes, but a lot faster when you go into the sponge.

Because of the hardness and spin sensitivty, this rubber should be used by advanced players.
