Review of Banda SigmaAn ok backhand rubber. Does not have enough pop to put the ball way against more advanced players on the forehand though.

Review of Butterfly Bryce HardI really loved this rubber during the speedglue era. Forced to switch from this to bryce speed because of its thick topsheet and lack of spin.

Review of Butterfly Bryce SpeedGreat rubber for punch's, blocks, and smashes. Loop drives are difficult but deadly when executed correctly. Not so good for topspins and keep a rally going. Need to play against offensive players to get the most out of this rubber because it feed of power.

Review of Butterfly SriverThis is just a steady control rubber that has the density to put balls away with enough effort. It does not excell at anything but it also does not lack in gears and capabilities either. A safe choice for a steady backhand.

Review of Butterfly Sriver FXThis rubber is only for those that lack confidence to put the ball away. A good player (i.e. good footwork and power) would smach the crap out of the ball if one looped with this. I would recommend a thinner sriver or sriver el for more control over this rubber.

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 05Wow. Just an amazing rubber. Very blade dependent. On some blades it is really slow and uncontrolable. On other it is fast and spinny. I have found the most success with it on the forehand of a TBS and the backhand of the TB ALC. Hated it on all wood blades. Was just terrible for smashing and driving.

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 64Good backhand rubber. Bouncy. Good for those who used to use speedglued bryce on the backhand. Great at blocking. I prefer T05 for opening loops on the backhand. Basically, if the blade is on the slower side I would definitly opt for t64 on the backhand on the backhand because t05 would not be bouncy enough for me and vice versa in the opposite situation.

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 05 FXThis is hands down the best backhand rubber I have ever used. I can topspin anything with this, as well as counter-loop. The only downside to this rubber is that it is terrible for flat blocks and hits, but if you add your own topspin to these shots, they become more consistent and lethal.

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 80I was not impressed by this rubber at all. There just doesn't seem to be a point to it. It is heavy, not nearly as spinny as T05, noticeably slower then T64, and not as much control as T05FX. If I wanted a do everything rubber then I stick with sriver for half the price. There has to be way better performing rubbers out their that cost less then T80. I could see the point of buying the other tenergies I mention: they are specialized. However for this one I do not.
Update: I have decided to give this rubber a second chance. After playing with it again I noticed how consistent it is at everything (i.e. looping, blocking, smashing, opening, touch, etc.). I still do not think it beats t05 in spin and t64 in speed, nor that this rubber specializes in anything to excuse the price, but it is a solid backhand rubber.

Review of DHS Hurricane 3 (H3)Good to learn the basic chinese stroke with. I would switch to one of the neo rubbers for more speed one good technique is established though because of lack of speed (i.e. way to much effort).

Review of DHS NEO Hurricane 2h3 Neo and tenergy are much better rubbers than this. Heck, if your looking for speed even bryce speed is much better than this rubber. Very few gears.

Review of DHS NEO Hurricane 3The best forehand rubber I have ever used. Definitly have to adjust your stroke (racket angle and foreward momentum) to get the best out of it though. Can't wait to get my hands on a provincial.

Review of DHS Hurricane 3-50Slow, low throw, somewhat spinny on loops, and nothing special in comparison to h3 neo provincial. Honestly, it does not play much better than h3neo commercial either, except slower. Maybe a boosted version would play differently, but overall it just felt like any another Chinese rubber to me.

Review of DHS NEO Hurricane 3 Provincial (Orange Sponge)Great rubber for those with chinese looping technique. It also is not as forgiving as rubbers like the tenergy series (i.e. need to use better technique to maximize effectivness).

Review of Globe 999I had the national version. Spinny but slow. This was with speed glue. Unless you are a close to table penhold player who emphasizes control with spin, I would not recommend this rubber.

Review of Stiga MagnaI really liked this rubber when it first came out. Tenergy 05 feels like what this rubber was meant to be. So, to sum it up, I would call this rubber a 'primitive tenergy.'
