Butterfly Tackiness Chop
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly Tackiness ChopThin sponged version 1.1 makes more backspin than thicker sponge version,if you want more topspin ability take a 1.3-1.5 and still retains good chiselling properties provided you clean it regularly to retain the tack.Too reactive to spin on serve return as you go up the levels and lp is a better option for backhand...I still like this though and revisit every once in a whileNov 07, 2015 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Butterfly Dignics 05
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly Dignics 05I tried Dignics 1.9 black on TSP Black Balsa 3.0 def:Compared to T05 1.9 on same blade the throw angle is lower for topspin,the speed is less,the spin is similar for topspin but higher when serving. Pushing needs a different blade angle,if the blade is too horizontal the ball is too high with Dignics and not easy to predict the flight path, I like T05 better for this and will need time to perfect. The topspin arc is lower and flatter with Dignics and I wish the rubber was softer. I decided to boost with 2 layers of Falco long and the ball is breaking out from the table better than T05 now and finishing the point is easier. There isn't a big reaction to the booster and the rubber didn't stretch much,I have added a 3rd layer to try soon... Nov 24, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Donic Baracuda

Review of Donic BaracudaWe`re all looking for extra grip/spin with the polyball and this one has it although the pace is a bit slow on my Defplay Senso,4 layers of Falco booster and it plays like a dream with more pace than my usual Tenergy 05 and equal if not better spin,I think this is a reasonably priced solution for me ...I didn`t put a speed spin control rating due to the booster where I would put my rating for that at 9.5,9.5,8Update:the Falco long booster is needed for effect longetivity ,this rubber boosted is the solution when you need more speed without using a faster blade,as an ox lp user I need a blade with some dampening on b/h side,t05 is not fast enough with polyball for f/h on my current all+ blade with flex(bt 550) May 14, 2017 | |||||||||||||||

Donic Slice 40
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Donic Slice 40On Donic Defplay this is a very good b/h rubber,much less spin sensitive than a tackiness c and very good for serve return , chops and far better looping ability.Usable on f/h but can bottom out when looping sometimes,they should have made a slightly thicker sponge version 1.8 would be perfect for f/h.Stickiness fades and needs constant cleaning to maintain,I use Spinmax Aqeous which does the job nicelyupdate:new version Slice 40 cd in 1.8 sponge now out,my resistance to try is becoming futile......

Donic Slice 40 CD
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Donic Slice 40 CDI got this after using the normal Slice 40 because they made it in 1.8 sponge which I felt would be perfect on f/h if it`s anything like the normal version which is great but i`d like a little higher throw angle and more speed,sadly it was not the case.The cd version is more towards chinese rubbers not as hard and dead but moving in that direction,compared to Slice 40 I found it to be a harder overall feel,tackier and less dynamic,less arcing with less spin.I tried boosting it with Falco long but still it was too slow for topspin ,it feels like a dead Barracuda would feel in my mind...very dissapointed they should make the regular slice 40 in 1.8 that would be just right for f/h Mar 02, 2018 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Xiom Vega Elite
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Xiom Vega EliteI tried this as a possible alternative to 05fx,it`s a nice rubber and a lot of players in my area are using it but it doesn't come close for me.I found a lower throw,less spin and arc,not as good in chopping and pushing the feel is softer however it does improve with a couple of layers of Falco booster but the Tenergy still gives me more of a cutting edge in everythingNov 01, 2014 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
