Butterfly (6)

Butterfly Bryce
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly BryceThe good:For the established player, it adds the speed you have been looking for. (especially on FH and BH loops and loop drives) The Bad: It is not very cheap. Bryce is GREATLY affected by your opponents spin. If you have a weakness on recognizing spin during your opponents service, then this weakness will be magnified and exploited very easily. Adding spin can be fairly difficult with Bryce because it is not very tacky. Overall, If you have your basic strokes down (fh and bh loops, drives, and chops) and you feel that you need to add more speed to your game, then Bryce is probably the answer for you.

Butterfly Sriver
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly SriverThis is a very, very good rubber if you are a beginner and do not have consistency in form, during basic strokes (FH & BH loops, drives, and chops). It is not as expensive as higher-end rubbers (like the Tenergy rubbers) but it is a pretty good rubber for a controlled game. Pair this with the Butterfly Primorac paddle and you have one of the best quality beginner setups you can buy.Sep 06, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Butterfly Sriver EL
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly Sriver ELSriver EL seems to be a very controllable rubber. I would dare say that it plays like a slightly slower version of the original Sriver. Sriver on the FH and Sriver EL on the BH can make for a good setup for beginner and intermediate players.Sep 06, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Butterfly Tenergy 05
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly Tenergy 05Ahhh! Tenergy 05. In my opinion, Tenergy 05 is a very fast rubber and if your power loops and loop drives are very strong no matter what rubber you use, lookout because Tenergy might end up being just too fast for you. You will end up seeing too many of your shots going out of the table because of the uncontrollable power. If your basic strokes are well established and you would like to add the extra speed and spin to your game, then Tenergy 05 may be your answer. Another thing is that, I don't feel very good about using Tenergy 05 because of the price, its too expensive a rubber to have to keep replacing. It does not last very long even if you clean and cover the topsheet with protectors. If Butterfly were to lower the price to about $30-40 it would be worth it. The price alone for this product is too much of a hassle for how long it does not last.Sep 06, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Butterfly Solcion
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly SolcionWow, this is Butterfly's highest rated Tensor rubber in the control category. And this is for good reason, placement with this rubber is spot on. The speed seems a little bit lacking and is probably about as fast or slightly faster than the original Sriver. the softness of the sponge makes for a really nice clicking sound when looping and counter looping. The only downside to this rubber is the that it is pretty delicate so try to take care of it the best you can by proper cleaning and storing when not in use. It seems to last okay, even after using it during robot drills, multiball training, coaching and club play. I have gone from using Sriver and Sriver EL to DHS hurricane 2 and 3 to Tenergy 05 and have found a good controllable rubber that is not too fast and not too slow. If your game is tuned to winning points through the rally, then Solcion may be right for you. I wouldn't recommend using it for close to the table play.Sep 06, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Butterfly Roundell
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly RoundellI've tried Roundell and I find it to be a little bit more like a controllable Bryce. It seems to play decently as far as spin and speed are concerned, but for the price I just don't see why you would use this when there may be rubbers that are more affordable that do almost the same things.Sep 06, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Dawei (1)

Dawei Inspirit Quattro Ultralight SV 35
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Dawei Inspirit Quattro Ultralight SV 35Okay, so I have just tried Dawei Inspirit Quattro UL SV in 2.0mm for both my BH and FH loops, drives and chops. These sheets are totally worth more than what you will pay for them. I have used Sriver, Sriver EL, Tenergy 05, Bryce, Solcion, DHS Hurricane 2 & 3. Without a doubt Dawei is THE WAY to go if you are on a budget and do not want to sacrifice quality performance in any of your table tennis strokes. The only concern I have with the Rubber is that I can't truly say how long it will last just yet so I will update the Durability in the future.UPDATE 10/19/2010!!!! I have been playing with the Dawei rubbers on a BTY Michael Maze Blade for a little over a month now (2-3 times/week) I can tell you that the initial Tackiness that was once pretty good on the Dawei rubber is now not as strong anymore however, this is not a bad thing. I have found that the rubber still plays very well with the good grip that it does still have, it still looks new too. Oct 19, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||
DHS (3)
 |
DHS Hurricane 3 (H3)
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of DHS Hurricane 3 (H3)I used DHS H3 for about 1.5yrs.The good: It is tacky and very good for putting heavy spins during service. Its not very expensive and it lasts a long time if you can keep the rubber surface clean. The bad: It takes a lot of effort from you when you want to power loop or loop drive with a lot of speed; which can lead to becoming fatigue in later stages of longer rallies and longer matches.

DHS Hurricane 2 (H2)
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of DHS Hurricane 2 (H2)H2,The good: it is very tacky and does well for adding spin during service. looping is very, very spinny. It is very inexpensive, and it does last for a long time if kept clean. The bad: Like the H3, it requires maximal effort from the user to get fast power loops and loop drives. This can be an issue because with the quickness that is evolving in the game, sometimes you just don't have enough time to recover from such a large stroke. Sep 06, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

DHS PF4-1
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of DHS PF4-1I have used this rubber on a pre-made DHS 3 star blade. It is pretty good for a beginner to use. Its not very fast, but it is also not too slow and its very, very, inexpensive to buy (you can probably buy a sheet for around $10). If you don't know what your style of play is just yet, try PF4-1 until you get your basic strokes down. At such an inexpensive price, what do you have to lose?Sep 06, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
