Review of Donic Acuda S1 Turbo

I agree that at least an intermediate level is required for handling of this rubber as it's quite fast but still I don't understand all the fuss about the poor "control" on this rubber. I paired it with nittaku septear and the control is amazing, compared to my previous rubber, nimbus soft, which had very poor control and consistency on the same blade. Speed and spin are good. The weight is a problem though. Nimbus soft was very light but this one is too heavy in comparison. I'm not sure about the durability yet as it's only been two weeks with this rubber on my blade. Overall, an excellent rubber. I think this rubber will work well with other medium to medium hard and flex blades like acoustic, violin, virtuoso

Review of Donic Baracuda

Spinniest non tacky rubber I've ever played with. Besides this I've played with MX-P, Nimbus, Acuda S1 Turbo, Rakza 9, Aurus and Mark V (why am I even mentioning this one?), none of these rubbers comes even close to generating as much spin as baracuda does. It's forgiving and despite the high throw it is very easy to play with, even when doing close to the table looping. The high spin produced on loops beautifully counteracts the high throw and brings the ball down to the table with a good arc. It only took me only a few minutes to adjust my game when i first played with it. Amazing product by donic

Review of Donic Acuda S1

Not a monster rubber in terms of speed, but pretty fast. Spin is above average, still not good enough for serves. Control gets this rubber the most points. Not very heavy, but not light either. Weights somewhat lighter than Barracuda. Loops are good, not great. Medium throw. Good for blocking. Less sensitive to incoming spin, compared to the rubbers with humongous spin (T05, Barracuda). Overall, a pretty decent rubber for backhand. Players who use backhand for blocking, counter and flat hitting will benefit the most from this rubber.

Review of Tibhar Nimbus Soft

It's a good rubber but didn't worked out for me as I was using it on a soft and flex blade (septear) which effected consistency very negatively. Good for medium hard blades. Fast but not too fast. Good spin and decent control. Lots of gears, good for pushes and short game. Low throw makes it difficult to loop heavy backspins sometimes. Durability is most bothering. Wears out quickly, after only a month of using it on forehand the top sheet started cracking and the strokes became more and more inconsistent with detorioration of Speed. This was despite the fact that i only play for an hour or so twice, or sometimes, thrice a week. Spin however was preserved. Changed the rubber to Acuda S1 Turbo and very happy with it

Review of Tibhar Aurus

It is the best backhand rubber for RPB I've ever played with. Before this I've had a Mark V, Nimbus Soft and Acuda S1 Turbo but this, IMO, beats all of them (only for backhand, Acuda S1 Turbo is the best forehand rubber for me). It works great with hinoki blade/hinoki top ply. Just amazing

Review of Tibhar Evolution MX-P

April 2016: I must say that I'm very disppointed with this one. Before this, I was using Acuda S1 Turbo on my forehand and it was quite fast and spinny on loops. I had hoped this one would be at par with, if not better, than my old rubber but it just doesn't seem to work that well for me. A little lighter than Acuda S1 Turbo i believe but thats just it. I'm having Aurus on my backhand and I think it's amazing but this one isn't the one for me. I'm just sitting this one out till it were off and then I'm gonna go back to my old rubber

UPDATE September 2016: I have judged this rubber very early. Although this is not the fastest out there but it certainly is one of the best. It took me sometime to get along with this one, but now I'm happy to say, it has become one of my best friends.

Review of TSP Agrit Speed

Very fast, spinny on loops, little less spinny on serves, very forgiving, great for blocking, good control. I've used Acuda S1 Turbo, Mark V, Nimbus Soft, Aurus and MX-P on my backhand. It is similar in speed to MX-P but is much easier to control and play with. It is a heavy rubber. Also, topsheet is fragile, huge crack after slightly hitting table. MXP topsheet is much more durable, very few and tiny cracks even after hitting the table many times. Still, best backhand (RPB) rubber I've ever used.

Review of Xiom Vega Europe

Soft, lightweight, fast, springy, medium throw, controlled rubber with good spin. I came from hard high throw rubbers like baracuda and MX-P so it took me some adjusting. Very good for driving, not so much for counter looping. I like this rubber but, I miss being a hardcore looper so decided to move on.

Review of Yasaka Mark V

There was a time when it used to be amongst the "fast" rubbers. Now it just feels so slow with all the tensors lining up. Much slower than the slow tensors like nimbus soft. But still a great rubber for learning table tennis. Highly highly recommended for beginners, recreational players and early intermediate level players

Review of Yasaka Rakza 9

Nothing out of the ordinary. Average spin, not so spinny on serves. Fast, but I've seen much more faster (MX-P, S1 Turbo, Agrit Speed). Medium to medium low throw so good for looping close to the table but not so special farther from mid distance. Not forgiving, again due to low throw, so timing and footwork has to be good. Control is very good, I'll give it that. Good for flat hitting, but so is my 802-40 on Mystery III sponge, so again nothing that would make it stand out. I suggest, for the same price (or cheaper) you can get many other faster and spinnier rubbers. Better stay away from this
