Donic Desto F1

||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Donic Desto F1This rubber feels average on a carbon blade, but really shines on thin wood blades. I have tried it on a Sanwei Fextra 7 Power blade (6mm, top 2 ply are limba, thick ayous core, OFF-), and RallyAce MP 5 (5.5mm, top ply maple, OFF), and the performance are stunning, best I have experienced - it feels that this rubber brings the maximum power out of these blades. BTW, my F1 rubber is not max thickness, might be 1.8mm or 2mm, feels even better than the max version. I have heard of story that one top Chinese amateur player is using this F1 rubber on a Stiga Ebenholz NCT V, another thin pure wood OFF blade.Jan 07, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Huaruite WujilongA nice non-tacky backhand rubber. Soft purple sponge. Looping and Control is decent. It can match with most offensive blades. Low cost.Apr 05, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Kokutaku Blutenkirsche 868 Tokyo (Hercules Black Sponge Pre Tune)
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Kokutaku Blutenkirsche 868 Tokyo (Hercules Black Sponge Pre Tune)Super cheap but very good rubber, especially for BH. Overall performance can match $40 ones like Xiom Vega Euro - due to the hard sponge, it's even faster than the latter. The only drawback is the weight - kind of heavy, might be good idea to use it on one side only. Good value for money, highly recommand it.Aug 28, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Palio HK1997 Gold
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Palio HK1997 GoldThe pros: it's a cheap sticky rubber. The cons: very stiff and heavy, not much feelings even on a soft blade. Sponge is easy to tear apart when changing rubbers. Would never buy this again.Jul 05, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Palio AK 47 Yellow Sponge
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Palio AK 47 Yellow SpongeI use this rubber on my FH. it's slightly softer and slower than the red version, other than that it's the same good as the latter. Compared with the blue version, the yellow version will not lose control when looping or hitting hard, or playing far away from table. Fantastic rubber for such a price. Update : it matches very well with thick hinoki top ply blades like butterfly primorac carbon, or xvt zl hinoki. When paired with some allround wood blade like sword 309, it's not impressive at all.May 03, 2018 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Reactor (1)

Reactor Ckylin Blue Sponge
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Reactor Ckylin Blue SpongeGot the medium hard version. It's supposed to be an alternative of donic blue fire M1, but much more heavy and stiff, even on a light flexible blade. It's a mix of 80% non-sticky plus 20% sticky. Speed is good due to the hard rubber, but not much spin generated, which is disappointing. I still prefer Blue Fire than this one. Good for budget minded players.Nov 02, 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Review of Skitt Red DevilsThe sponge is rated medium hard, but feels very soft. Top sheet not grippy at all. Good for attacking, but not good for spin. Can match with thick and stiff blades.Feb 24, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Skitt Terminator
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Skitt TerminatorTacky rubber with soft sponge. Didn't play well with my pure wood blade, but after switching to XVT Cannon blade, which has got two ALC layers and walnut surface, it really surprised me in a good way. Has great control and spin, performs exceptionally well. Good for budget minded players.May 05, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
