Review of Butterfly Tenergy 80This rubber is great on my blade( Galaxy J-1). It have good control, DEFINITELY! I think there would not be a rubber which have both high spin and speed but have such good control. It has quite a medium-high throw angle but after various time, you will know how to keep the ball low. Looping is easy, but blocking seem to be a little difficult but will slowly know how to use it properly. I have block nicely with low returns which cause my opponent to make mistakes. Service is definitely a dream for players who use this rubber. it provides the ball with spin that you have never possible think of with other rubbers. Butterfly prove itself of it standard with this excellent rubber, but just a little expensive. i bought this for $95 in SG.

Review of Donic Acuda S2Acuda S2 look a bit tacky .The sponge seem soft but the Acuda S2 will be the softer one it seems. My serves are usually side spin with combination of backspin, abit like Wang Hao€™s serve, and it usually goes to the middle/far table. As for service return, as a penholder, it is normally a push or flick. Forehand wise, I attack the wings of the table. I will use fast attack when near table while looping more when I get further away from the table.
For the forehand rubber, which I put the DONIC Acuda S2, I can say that this rubber will be much better if you think that DONIC Bluefire M2 is good. Although DONIC Acuda S2 is not somewhat like have more technology than the DONIC Bluefire M2, but I can say it is better and also suit me better. This rubber not only have the control but also the power spin. Why do I say this rubber suit my forehand? Cause I use the flat hits when nearer to table, but as I step back, I€™ll start to use topspin as it is harder to flat hit but sometimes if it is too fast, i will still use flat hits. This rubber ensure that the ball will land onto the opponent table with great spin. This rubber can give u very short balls that is near the net. But if you are a looper or like me a Near table fast-attack player, this rubber will be the best for you. No matter if it is you put it on the forehand or the backhand, this rubber is a great combination of all both qualities of spin and most importantly control. I would not say it has the fastest and spinniest spin, but I would say that the amount of control is definitely excellent, plus the addition of good spin, it is more than sufficient to kill of your opponent with either fast shot or topspin. Plus the weight is somewhere in the middle, comfortable for both Forehand and Backhand. The throw angle wise is also somewhere in the middle, you will find that you will play comfortably with this rubber. I recommend this rubber to all players who want to have excellent control with also tremedous extreme spin.

Review of Donic Coppa X2 Platin SoftFor the backhand rubber, i put on the DONIC Coppa X2. I like this rubber a lot! It is somewhat the same as DONIC Bluefire M2, but i think DONIC Coppa X2 has that little more of control, and lower tradjectory. This rubber is really fast, but not that kind of lighting fast like DONIC Acuda S1 Turbo, but still this is far more faster than any convient rubbers out in the market with also good decnet amount of spin. Why do I say this rubber suit my backhand? Cause I use the traditional Backhand to push when near table, but as I step back, I€™ll start to use the reverse backhand. As the reverse backhand will make the ball spin more than traditional backhand block, this rubber is just what i need as the spin i can use my wrist to have more spin, but the rubber can help me have a faster ball. The weight is quite light, definitely comfortable for both Backhand. The throw angle wise is quite low but still you will find that you will play comfortably with this rubber.

Review of Nittaku Fastarc S-1This is my forehand rubber on STIGA CC5. The ball feel is great and fast and definitely need skill to control the ball to be low as the throw angle is quite high. It is almost as fast as bryce speed but definitely more spin than it.

Review of Stiga Calibra LT SpinI use STIGA Calibra LT Spin on the backhand. I would not say that it is a substitute for Butterfly Tenergy as it stands out in its own ways. This rubber is spinny, fast but not deadly fast. But you could kill of your opponent with devastating spin shots. I think that Aggressive and fast attack players may want to give this rubber a try. The throw angle is medium and the sponge is soft, which gives you good control, but not losing any speed. But the con for this rubber is that you have to take very good care of it, or it will break easily. Clean it with either water or cleaning foam is fine.

Review of Stiga Calibra Tour MFor the backhand rubber, which I put the STIGA Calibra Tour M, I can say that this rubber will be much better if you think that DONIC Bluefire M2 is good. STIGA Calibra Tour M is somewhat an upgrade of the DONIC Bluefire M2 I can say. This rubber not only have the control but also the trajectory. Why do I say this rubber suit my backhand? Cause I use the traditional Backhand to push when near table, but as I step back, I€™ll start to use the reverse backhand. This rubber ensure that the ball will land onto the opponent table with great speed and spin. But I say first, this rubber cannot give u very short balls that is near the net. But if you are a looper or like me a Near table fast-attack player, this rubber will be the best for you. No matter if it is you put it on the forehand or the backhand, this rubber is a great combination of all 3 qualities of speed, spin and most importantly control. I would not say it has the fastest speed nor the spinniest spin, but I would say that the amount of control is definitely excellent, plus the addition of good speed and spin, it is more than sufficient to kill of your opponent with either fast shot or topspin. Plus the weight is somewhere in the middle, comfortable for both Forehand and Backhand. The throw angle wise is also somewhere in the middle, you will find that you will play comfortably with this rubber. I recommend this rubber to all players who want to have excellent control with also excellent spin and speed. This rubber will give a €œwhole new world€ feeling.
