Andro Hexer Duro

Review of Andro Hexer DuroI have never before had problems in glueing any rubber, but this rubber makes water based TT glue to fluid after couple of days. I tried to glue it to 2 different blades but got hard cleaning job in both cases. Compared to Andro Rasant, Duro plays much weaker in every aspect and above all Rasant stays in the blade :)Edit 11/2013: After about 10 failed trials with 3 different glues I found a glue that worked properly. And I found soft all-wood blade suitable for this rubber. The more I have played this rubber the more I like it. So I upgrade my overall rating from 8 to 9. Nov 12, 2013 | |||||||||||

Andro Rasant

Review of Andro RasantThis is really pleasure to play with. But in really short game it presumes really good reading of incoming spin, otherwise there will be places for offense from opponent's side.Jan 16, 2013 | |||||||||||

Andro Rasant Grip

Review of Andro Rasant Grip28.10.2014:I have played only 4 hours with Rasant Grip when writing this. Anyway compared to the original Rasant this is slower and I can control rallies much better and I have no problems in short game or in blocking as I had sometimes with original Rasant. 6.11.2014: I put original Rasant and Rasant Grip to the same blade and used that racket couple of hours. That made the problems (that I mentioned above) of the original Rasant very clear and Rasant Grip did not have those problems. But I can imagine, that somebody else do not have those problems with original Rasant either. The problem did not come from the speed difference. I have just used to rubbers, that have more simple way of working. Nov 06, 2014 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Review of DHS Hurricane 2 (H2)This is the most suitable chinese rubber for me. Next good DHS would be DHS 666. E.g. DHS NEO TG2 did not give me such a good touch to the game than H2 and 666.Aug 25, 2012 | |||||||||||

Friendship/729 GeoSpin Tacky

Review of Friendship/729 GeoSpin TackyThis is too slow rubber for me nowadays. Earlier it worked pretty well in fast blades like Galaxy T11.Jun 12, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||||

Stiga (1)

Stiga Neos Tacky
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Stiga Neos TackyThis is good rubber for me. I use it with quite hard woods so I can generate speed by hitting hard. I did not select it for defensive purposes but for developing my topspinning speed.This rubber weights about the same as LKT Pro XT, but has significantly higher throw angle and much better spin. --- update: The spin has got much worse during storing at home (not playing) couple of months -> not very durable.

Tibhar Genius Sound
|
||||||||||||||||
Review of Tibhar Genius SoundSpin/speed ratio is excellent for topspin. This rubber fits well to near the table playing, but do not give too much support for distance returns.This rubber just fits to my style and blades very well. Jun 12, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||
TSP (1)

TSP Ventus Spin
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of TSP Ventus SpinI use this on BH of Butterfly Zhang Jike Super ZLC. I suppose it would be easier on slower blade. Its plays quite similarly than Tibhar Genius Sound, but requires more accurate racket angles due to more elastic top layer of the rubber. Additionally Ventus Spin requires more adaptation to its way to do the job compared to Genius Sound that I can hit many ways.There is anyway one crucial thing in this rubber: It offers really good BH spin/speed ratio and suitable softness. So I can hit it hard and generate really high spiny curve. So my target window is now much bigger than before and I can utilize my speedy blade effectively. Sep 23, 2014 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Tuttle Beijing 2

Review of Tuttle Beijing 2I bought this rubber, because I saw so praising evaluation here. But my rating with this rubber would be so different than others, that I give only this textual evaluation - maybe I just have got bad sheet.Speed 7.5 Spin 8.5. Tackiness 9.5 Throw angle 5 Weight 9.5 Overall 7.5 I use normally Xiom rubbers and was really disappointed with Tuttle Beijing 2. I hope others get better Tuttle Beijing 2 rubbers. Jun 12, 2012 | |||

Review of Xiom Vega China VMThis rubber is good to me. Nowadays I use lighter rubbers to be more agile on top of the table.Jun 12, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Xiom Omega V Tour
|
||
Review of Xiom Omega V TourI use this rubber now on both sides and it works very very well. I do not put numeric ratings yet, because I have used it only on one blade. At the moment the Throw angle value average of other evaluators (4.7) is much lower than I would estimate. And I would evaluate the speed to 8.5. Other values are quite near to my estimates at the moment.Mar 06, 2014 | |||

Yasaka Mark V HPS Soft

Review of Yasaka Mark V HPS Soft12.11.2013:When I took this rubber in use, all my old opponents commented, that there are no spin in my strokes. The rubber lifted the ball so well, that I didn't notice that in the beginning by myself! The control is awesome, but at least other side of the racket needs to have proper spinny rubber. Anyway I do not want to learn any tricks with this rubber but replace it with some xiom or butterfly rubber. 16.10.2014, need to clarify: Of course there is spin in this rubber. The difference to my earlier Xiom Sigma Europa rubber came very clear because of my playing style (that was all about varying the spin). So opponents got narrower scale of spins and the strokes did not produce good enough disturbance with this rubber. I left my spin rating to 7.5 as it has been. Somebody who hits hard all the time might give >9 spin rating and still we would not have contradiction. Oct 15, 2014 | |||||||||
