Butterfly Rozena

Review of Butterfly RozenaFeels like a step down from tenergy rubbers, all around. That's not to say it is inferior, only that the traits and characteristics are less extreme. A bit less spin sensitive, a bit less speed, slightly less catapult etc. Still works wonderfully well on the amateur level and I believe even a few pros have swapped to Rozena. About $25 cheaper than tenergy as well!I think in a blind play test, 95% of people wouldn't be able to tell the difference! And their score would probably go up, as rozena is easier to control... it's certainly made to compete with other rubbers in this price range (tibhar mx-p, donic bluefire, etc.). Butterfly probably wanted to get a foot in the door, instead of losing those customers with slightly lower budgets. At $50 a sheet, I think any player under 2500 (so essentially everyone on the amateur circuit) would be perfectly fine with it. Sure, you might like how X rubber feels or Y rubber bounces more, and that's okay. But on the objective level, Rozena sits right up there with the best and I foresee it being a perennial best seller.

Der Materialspezialist Mega-Block

Review of Der Materialspezialist Mega-BlockMega block is an entirely frictionless anti spin rubber. That means there is essentially no grip! It's almost like playing with a matte LCD screen or a rather hard disc.Mega-block provides just about the ultimate level of legal reversal in the game of table tennis. I don't think any of the current allowable long pips can match mega block in that area. The downside is, of course, you have less variation in your game. Your returns are dictated by what your opponent gives you, basically. That's where the skill comes in... Using Mega Block in the 2.0 super soft sponge... provides a MASSIVE dampening effect on the ball. They can be dropped short with ease. Hard loops are slowed down to a snail's pace with plenty of back spin in return! Terrific for blocking -- terrible at chopping! The lack of grip also makes attacking top spins very difficult, if not impossible in some scenarios. But you can smash the hell out of chops and pushes like no other! Serve returns are a cake walk. Probably the best frictionless anti spin on the market today! MB differs from transformer in that the top sheet is much thinner. This removes some of the non-linear response transformer experienced when facing balls of different speeds. MB is able to keep slow balls slow and fast balls slow, whereas transformer had issues with fast balls rocketing out too quickly. Jan 28, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||

Tibhar Evolution FX-P

Review of Tibhar Evolution FX-PA very nice, soft, and controllable rubber. Good overall spin with wonderful dwell time. A satisfying kind of 'THOCK' sound when attacking can be heard screaming out from this rubber. The soft sponge allows for somewhat padded, linear blocking. On the flipside, it's not as BULLET directed as some other rubbers are in that area. You are sacrificing some speed for ease of use and consistency with FX-P.Plays similarly to tenergy 05 fx. There is a noticeable difference between them, so certainly not a replacement rubber. But having said that, if you're John Club playing at the local table tennis spots -- odds are, you've got a bit of a pot belly, no real footwork, and poor stroke mechanics. This rubber will suit you fine! Absolutely fine, forgiving in all aspects of the game. Tenergy is kind of like learning to drive in a formula 1 car... FX-P is more like a honda -- not too flashy, but you'll get from A to B with few errors along the way. And for most people, they may not "like" FX-P as much as tenergy, yet dollars to donuts they'll play better using FX-P! Feb 13, 2017 | |||

Yinhe Moon

Review of Yinhe MoonMoon - red 2.1 mm37 deg hardness Donic Defplay Senso I reviewed this rubber long ago... much has changed since then (or so I like to think). Some on here claim this baby lacks spin or touch, for both loops and chops. Nothing is farther from the truth! I understand how they feel as I too experienced the same conclusion upon first use. It comes down to your stroke. I am able to chop and loop with tremendous amounts of spin. Easily equal to or greater than any other rubber I have used as of yet. The rating system is inaccurate to say the least. Too many unqualified posters and inflaters/deflaters. Instead I'll compare it to a few other rubbers I've used and let readers drawn their on conclusions. Compared to: Hurricane 3 #19 Sponge - Moon has a much faster rebound with a livelier feel. Its top end speed is greater for loops and drives. I would give the spin edge to a new sheet of H3 with the tack still fresh. Once it wears off I find they are quite similar, in fact in my hands I am able to generate a tad more spin with the moon on brushing strokes (both chops and loops). Short game goes to H3. Geospin Tacky - I find moon superior in every way, aside from once again a new sheet of geospin with fresh tack... better spin at first for the opening sessions. Geospin is much better rubber for beginning players I'd say. A lot slower and easier to handle (other than reading spin as the moon is essentially tackless and less sensitive to the incoming ball). Gambler Reflectoid - Put this toy away! Reflectoid supposedly is a wonderful blocking rubber... Moon does it better all the while keeping more gears for attacking! Stiga Mendo - Mendo is much softer, has a lighter touch, and one might argue is easier to control overall. Yet, with a bit of skill and knowledge of the game I rank Moon above Mendo in every category across the board (barring ones such as sponge hardness etc.). Mar 07, 2013 | |||
