Butterfly Tackiness Chop
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly Tackiness Chophave tried chop 2 and prefer this over it. play with TSP p1-R 0.5mm on my back hand and this rubber is so slow that the pips are speedier, however, chopping a dead ball is a guarenteed point if the opponent tries to loop it back....GREAT control rubber.....little pricey, would probly try 729 judo or cross instead next time....Oct 06, 2009 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Review of DHS G666bought this rubber twice....both times the top sheet peeled off as though there wasnt enough glue between it and the sponge....kinda a huge downer...Dec 08, 2009 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Friendship/729 Focus 1
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Friendship/729 Focus 1had it on forehand and back hand of a TULPE allround wood blade, black has green sponge (transend???) and red has cream coloured sponge. very high dwell time and spin, very controlled yet if you unload with it you can generate quite a bit of speed, i would suggest this rubber to modern defenders with emphasis on control, or offensive players who prefer a back hand loop over a blockOct 06, 2009 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Friendship/729 729-08
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Friendship/729 729-08had this on the forehand of a donic defplay classic senso blade... great for classic fast attack and can generate some speed away from the table however the hard sponge and very tacky top sheet do not agree with passive shots...you swing big or go home...also not good for chopping on the forehand side, not forgiveing enough. in conclusion, great for fast attack and occasional loos from far away.Jan 21, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Friendship/729 Focus 3 Snipe
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Friendship/729 Focus 3 Snipeseems to be a factory tuned version of focus 3. AMAZING rubber, have it on the forehand of a defensive blade, and WOW can u loop with it, you can keep the loops low with so much spin that your opponents tend to misjudge the spin a shoot it off the table, GREAT rubber for those that love the soft ones.Jan 21, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Palio Macro Era
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Palio Macro EraPlaying with the 42.5 degree sponge version in MAX thickness...Simply a dream...controlled and fast blocking, extremely spinny loops, more then enough speed to put it past your opponent from a distance, controlled pushes....high dwell time....I have tested about 15 different rubbers thoroughly, and this one takes the cake as the best.. Only 30 bucks too....once you try this you will never again go back to what you had before. Thing of beauty. Update: This rubber shrinks....don't take it off your blade if you don't want it to shrink to a size smaller! Apr 04, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Palio HK1997 Biotech
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Palio HK1997 Biotechplays EXACTLY like Butterfly Sriver with slight glue effect. The top coaches say "Stick to a great allround rubber and practice with it....this is how you get better"....this is that rubber. Excellent at everything, and I mean everything....driving blocking looping (close and mid distance), chopping, and serving....not a flashy rubber, but definitely a work horse. side note....this rubber needs to be broken in with about 2 hours of solid play time Mar 11, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Palio Thors
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Palio Thorsused on a 5 ply Ary/Carbon blademodern defender long time tenergy 05 user, emphasis on straight arm swing (some call this chinese style)... the only think it does not match tenergy in is is counterlooping ease.....it can still counter loop just as effectively, just more effort is required....greater spin, speed, blocking, chopping serves and pushes....much harder sponge Jan 06, 2011 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
