Butterfly Dignics 09C

Review of Butterfly Dignics 09C1400-1500 USATT. Penhold-Two wing looper.I've been playing with this rubber for about 3 months now on forehand with fangbo BX2 blade. The price is ridiculous and unjustified IMHO but you get something quite unique. I've previously played on boosted hurricane 3 commercial and the transition to this was no problem. Counterloops like H3 and opens against backspin have a bit more pace/land deeper. Keep in mind this means you'll still need good technique and acceleration to use the full potential. Serves are just as spinny and blocking is MUCH better than hurricane 3. Surprising how spinny this rubber is given it's relatively low spin sensitivity to H3. It's weight is slightly lower than that of H 3 unboosted. For many though including myself I'm sure there are comparable rubbers for a fraction of the price. Jan 11, 2022 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Xiom Vega Europe

Review of Xiom Vega EuropeXVE I used 1.8mm- very high level of control and helps to bring down the pace of rallies while being able to generate power on its own if needed. This rubber being so light and soft is good in accelerating to loop the ball and generating spin. A great rubber for beginners learning to spin the ball and for intermediate control players. For more advanced perhaps the MAX or 2mm will be more appropriate.May 04, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||

Yinhe Moon

Review of Yinhe MoonOne of my first rubbers I tried on my backhand after switching from Yinhe’s value rubber mercury 2. Supposedly this rubber claims to be a clone of the price jacked tenergy 05. Played on DHS PG7. First thoughts-Pretty Bouncy! I had a few chances to try Butterfly Rozena and this seemed a less catapulted version. -Geared towards European style attacking looper players. You must close your blade racket to keep it on table. -Control is good. Catapult power much higher than mercury 2 and made backhands take less effort. Overall another good entry from Yinhe. If you’re a beginner who’s developed some good offensive drive shots then this is the rubber to try. The next rubber a step up would either be rozena , or Xiom Vega Europe. All are good controlled offense rubbers. May 06, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||

Yinhe Mercury II

Review of Yinhe Mercury IIVersion used: 1.8mm/soft version-One of the cheapest ITTF approved rubbers out there so if you’re on a tight budget this is the one. The sponge is dead, absorbing the incoming speed rather than rebounding it back. I suppose this is good for somebody who’s unsure of whether to be an offensive or defensive player. Spin is there however thanks to its tackiness. It’s also quite heavy do such a dead rubber. A good comparison would be if HURRICANE 3 original unboosted had a 34 degree version, it would be this rubber, slow off rebound and high tackiness. Sponge durability is poor, once you have glued this to a blade, peeling it back will cause some chunks to fall out.May 04, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||

Yinhe Earth 2

Review of Yinhe Earth 2Earth 2 compared with yinhe™s other rubbers Mercury 2, Moon, and the DHS hurricane 3. Personally Played red on Yinhe 896 blade(5 ply looping blade) on backhand with medium sponge 2.2mm.This rubber is less tacky than mercury and H3 but more so than moon. It is quite grippy though and can generate sufficient spin in close range drives. The catapult effect is noticeable, not dead like the mercury, and very similar to Xiom Vega Europe, hence this rubber has good control. It is lighter and more durable than the Mercury 2, thus it can be peeled and reglued multiple times. Compared with hurricane, it is MUCH lighter and has significantly more initial catapult. Currently priced at $20+ on ebay and Ali so not as cheap as it used to be. If you're looking for a good entry level tensor-like rubber, this is an affordable dependable option.
