Review of Reactor Tornado V5I bought the rubber thinking about using it on my forehand. I've played with Chinese (sticky) erasers before, but generally I prefer ESN. When testing the Reactor Tornado V5, I noticed that I was having some difficulties to play. The balls went at a much higher angle than normal, even comparable to the DHS Hurricane 3, for example. That's why a lot of my plays went out and I'm a player who likes the balls to go close to the net. After a lot of struggle, a friend advised me to change it to the backhand and, then, it worked very well. I think the rubber itself is of good quality, it generates a lot of effect and is cost-effective, of course, but in my case it just worked like that. If anyone has difficulty with it, it's good to take this test.

Review of Reactor Ckylin Pro (blue Sponge)It is not at all tacky. It has an interesting catapult effect, similar to ESN tensioned rubbers, but not the same, which gives it a little more speed. From the first uses, the effect of it is not great. The biggest problem is durability. I used this rubber on two days, 4 matchs on day one and 6 matchs on day two, plus one hour of training. In the fifth match of the second day, after having already trained, which corresponds to 2h30min of use, it was already completely smooth and it wasn't because of dirt or anything like that. It was simply wear and tear, something I've never seen happen with any rubber.
I've tested other Reactor rubbers, such as Corbor and Tornado V5 (which was even on the same racket), but none of them was like that, smooth and without producing any more effect in such a short time, just this one. I couldn't play with it anymore and had to take it out of my racket. It was money thrown in the trash, even though it was cheap.
