Donic Desto F3

Review of Donic Desto F3Perfect for a developing player to transform from hitting to looping mechanics, since the gripping feel is really delicate and accurate, and speed of hits are not as slow as the review shows if you're using a 2.0mm version , which is a better transmitter of power between blade and ball. And most importantly, price is ideal comparing to what it can provide for a beginner. I would rate its overall at 9+ if for a beginner only. (This might differ according to region, in my country F3 is about only 30 USD, being at the same price level of Mark V.)I recommend this one more than the beginner's "go-to choice"-- Mark V, since it is softer and more versatile, while Mark V needs a harder/stiffer blade to penetrate if you are a beginner, and a harder/stiffer blade demands more skill, which makes Mark V a little bit self-contradictory for a beginner, especially who are self-taught. (I paired Mark V with YE first and couldn't even figure out why people think it is soft and biting). This one is a honest mediator between you and your blade; it makes you feel your blade and makes your blade reflect how good your skills are. A blade decides quality of shots much more than a rubber, so don't chase a more expensive, more powerful rubber while developing; save money for a proper blade. But do notice that if a rubber as soft as F3 and as thin as 2.0mm is paired with a stiff/hard enough blade like Kinetic Supreme Off-, control will deteriorate, pushing and looping will lose control more easily. A max version will improve; it will trade less vertical power & speed for more grip & dwell & feel. Thus generally 2.0 for softer blades and max for harder blades. Since this is a very soft rubber, don't hesitate to change to a harder one if balls are going wild in larger strength. If that happens in max, Sriver EL will be more suitable. Now I pair 2.0 with my YE and max with Temper Tech Off- BH, and they're great. Dec 09, 2012 | |||

Haifu Blue Whale II (2) (Untuned)

Review of Haifu Blue Whale II (2) (Untuned)I played 39° hardness. Surprisingly speedy for a highly tacky Chinese rubber. Has a funny clicking sound and crispy feel when hit on the sweet spot. Serving feels like something between Chinese rubbers and non-Chinese ones, because serves are very spiny and more speedy than a traditional Chinese rubber, somewhat reminding me of Razka 7 in this unique combination of spin and speed (and only this characteristic do; make sure that these two are absolutely different). Given that you've grasped the mechanics of looping well, Blue Whale 2 can be a deadly weapon in loops, but I think it's not for a beginner since it still has the "dead" feeling that a Chinese sponge usually do, which means you don't sensitively feel how the ball works in the rubber while you hit it, which wouldn't happen in a soft European or Japanese sponge. And don't think that a softer version can solve this problem. Very heavy, which is another reason why it is not suited for a beginner.Nov 25, 2012 | |||

Tibhar Sinus Sound

Review of Tibhar Sinus SoundA magical rubber, since its hardness is soft to the extent of making you feel almost zero resistance when you press the rubber, but also produces higher-than-average speed and outstanding spin, which seems to be something illogical that somehow Tibhar has achieved. But beware! At 2.0mm a normal player like me can cause the ball to penetrate this rubber easily, rendering too much bounce of the blade and thus a higher-than-desired arc of the shot; this effect is perceivable even in pushes. But goes quite well with the backhand of my sister whose power are slim. Now I'm tempted to try a max version.Nov 26, 2012 | |||

XuShaoFa 999 LSZ

Review of XuShaoFa 999 LSZIs it me or the tackiness of LSZ999 wears out REAL quickly? In less than 1 month it needs cleaning of water every hour during a session or I can't even produce proper back-spin serves. When this haven't happened it is a superb rubber, if its sponge being speed-glued or oiled a little it can well beat some rubber which priced at 2-3 times of its price, and be comparable to rubbers 4 times of its price, making it a poor man's DHS Hurricane or something.Dec 03, 2012 | |||
