Friendship/729 Bloom Spin
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Friendship/729 Bloom SpinExcellent price ratio performance. The Bloom Spin has a little less speed and spin than Battle 2. Very controllable. Medium hard sponge with many gears. If you like modern Chinese rubbers it's definitely worth a try.Feb 06, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Friendship/729 Battle II Provincial (Battle 2 Provincial)
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Friendship/729 Battle II Provincial (Battle 2 Provincial)Light( uncut 57gr.) rubber that comes in 37 to 40 degree sponge hardness. So far this is an excellent Chinese rubber for plastic ball. The battle ll provincial is slightly faster than the normal version, produces heavy spin on plastic ball and is my favourite rubber for FH.Apr 14, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Friendship/729 Dragon-F
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Friendship/729 Dragon-FUsed it on different blades from def to off unboosted. Short to short always has to be very active or the ball falls into the net. Topspin with slower blades is difficult because of the very closed angel of the blade. This produces a lot edge hitting. Slow topsins with heavy rotation where possible neither. At shots is where this rubber shines. Good speed and control.At least I was so frustrated from the playing abilities of this rubber that I boosted it. Finally it worked average. In comparison to the battle series I do not recommend this rubber. It is cheap and it only works boosted. May 27, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Friendship/729 Battle 3
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Friendship/729 Battle 3This is a surprisingly good performing rubber.Out of the box very smelly ( disgusting)with a smooth sponge surface. The rubber is in 38,39,30 degree sponge hardness available. I tested a 39 . At the bouncing test the rubber feels slow because of the tackiness. But when you start to play battle 3 shows all the excellent abilities. There's a litte catapult effect. Not that much like tensors do. Every stroke succeeds well from short to short , serves, counter and topspin. This rubber is a very good mixture between European/ Japanese and Chinese brick hard rubbers with a soft and tacky rubber surface. The biggest pro is the price for this " hybrid rubber". For everyone who don't like pure chinese rubbers and the tensor catapult effect. This is a good mixture and worth a try. Update: after using this rubber for a while I've got to resume that everything wears out. The rubber loses remarkable speed, spin and tackiness. At least it is unboosted useless after 2 month of moderate use. So that rubber is not durable at all. Jan 01, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Palio Hadou 40+
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Palio Hadou 40+Best buy for a modern Chinese rubber. Similar too esn/ tensor rubbers but with more linear speed development . Faster and same spin like DHS H8. Absolutely made for 40+ ball. Works good with stiff allwood or carbon blades (40-42 degrees) and the harder rubbers on flexible blades. Worth a try.Aug 21, 2018 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Palio HK1997 Gold
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Palio HK1997 GoldGood and cheap spinny rubber. I rated speed with 8.8 because 9.2 is like Xiom Vega Pro. HK 19997 is very controllable on blocks, flicks, tospin rallys and short to short . Unsensitive for incoming spin. The best bang for the bucks. Try it.Feb 09, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Sanwei Target Provincial
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Sanwei Target ProvincialVery heavy Chinese rubber for 40+ ball( uncut 78gr, cut 57gr). Slower than National Target. No catapult. Good for flexible allwood blades. If you've a god technic it's good for stiff blades too. Spin is awesome.Update: after 3 month of usage the sponge feels dead. Maybe the factory tuning is over. Rubber is still tacky. I'm disappointed. Jul 21, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Sanwei Target National
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Sanwei Target NationalSolid modern Chinese off rubber for 40+ ball. Medium high throw angle, tacky and a bit on the heavy side. Soft rubber and medium hard sponge. Glued on a Sanwei A9 it's a looping machine. Easy to control. Normal sensitive for incoming spin. And at last you can produce heavy spin over and behind the table.Aug 24, 2018 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Sanwei Gear Hyper Hard

 |
Sanwei Gear Nano
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Sanwei Gear NanoATTENTION this rubber is not listed in the larc list. Often sold as a gear hyper. Medium pores sponge with some micro holes in it. Looks like a lower quality version of the hyper but with the same topsheet. Tacky rubber not sticky. You can feel how the rubber grabs the ball. Definitely an offensive rubber with a slight catapult like many other hybrid rubbers. Lasts for 3 months of average training.May 05, 2026 | |||||||||||||||||||||

TSP Ventus Spin
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of TSP Ventus SpinThis is a good rubber if you've got the right technic for incoming spin. Means the right answer for heavy spin serves and short to short. Topspin rallies and drives are easy. Works good even with short strokes. You can compensate lack of speed with fast and stiff blades. Soft sponge is not my cup of tea but in the right hand it works like hell.Feb 09, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||

Tuttle President G20
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Review of Tuttle President G20This rubber comes in two hardness rubbers. Blue and red package. The sheet is only 160mm so it won't fit bigger sized blades.First of all this is no cheap rubber and it plays very worse in comparison to the price. It feels average in everything. Nothing mind-blowing or no wow effect. Even the super duper new designed rippled surface of the rubber is average. Maybe everything works better boosted. Won't try. You can buy for same money a Battle 3 or 2 prov. Jun 16, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||
