Friendship/729 Focus 3 Snipe

Review of Friendship/729 Focus 3 SnipeSETUP:- blade: Yinhe N10; rubber fh: 729 focus 3 snipe 46 degree red; rubber bh: 729 focus 3 snipe 44 degree.Quite soft, light weight and fragile. Even the 46 degree one is much softer compared to and tacky rubber like H3neo! SPIN:This rubber produces fairly good amount of spin is all the cases. It is quite bouncy but still produces a lot of spin in serves. In terms of service spin, mark V< Control: Excellent! I can place the ball wherever I want. If you get the angle correctly, there should not be any problem.BLOCK & DRIVE: One of my friend is pure blocker. He blocks everything and he just love this rubber. I had quite hard time returning his block from focus 3 snipe. It coms so fast. For block it is as good as MX-P. BH drive is very good. But I don't like it for FH drive. May be because I like harder rubbers like H3 Neo for FH(I also don't like MX-P in that case. Don't feel enough confident!). DURABILITY: This is the only weak point of this rubber. Topsheet is too fragile. OVERALL: Overall, I would say that this is an excellent BH rubber. Even with such high speed, it is so easy to control that beginners can play with it. Lightweight and thus I prefer over EL-P/MX-P. CONS: Fragile topsheet. But who cares at 10$! Mar 12, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Friendship/729 SP Transcend

Review of Friendship/729 SP TranscendAn excellent rubber with very low price! My SETUP: Blade: Yinhe Pro Feeling , FH: 729 SP Transcend, BH: Mark V. This is a typical Chinese tacky rubber. If you are a player who plays active shot always with lot of control, this is the rubber for you.SPEED: Not a fast rubber. But when you hit hard goes like rocket. Speed is linear with effort. But the plus side of slightly less speed is that the ball does not go beyond the table. It is little bit slower than H3 Neo. SPIN: Excellent. Better than any non tacky rubber. Much spinier than MX-P or El-P but less spinier than H3 Neo. Service spin is excellent, specially for high toss serve. No problem to execute ghost serve. Push is also great, contains lot of backspin. Looping underspin is easy but not as easy as non tacky rubbers. COUNTER DRIVE: This is the case where this rubber excels. Close to the table counter drive is just awesome. You won't miss a single drive. Hit just before the top of the bounce. SMASH & BLOCK: Ok but not as good as non tacky rubbers. The rubber is definitely very durable. I am playing for one and half years but still it is tacky. Just clean it regularly. OVERALL: This is a nice rubber but the point is that you have to play actively. The moment you try a passive shot, you either miss the shot or go to back foot. Mar 15, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
