Review of Andro Rasanter R45Put the Andro Rasanter R45 green rubber (Ultramax) on the backhand side of a Donic Waldner World Champion 89' blade and Tibhar Evolution MX-P (Max) on the forehand side. This combination worked very well with alot of control, speed & great spin. Blocks very well and ball placement comes easy if proper technique is used. First time using the green color and it looks very nice. The hardness of both rubbers are perfect for the 40+ balls and the weight of the blade and rubbers together is 199 grams which is a perfect weight for me. Bought the rubbers from Tabletennis11 and the shipping time (3 1/2 days from Estonia) was unbelievable. If you buy 3 rubbers you get the 4th one free which is a great deal. Highly recommend Tabletennis11 for your table tennis needs. Give them a try.

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 05 FXOutstanding rubber and sponge in all aspects what more can I say. 5 Stars and a 10. Using 2.1 Max on both sides of a Donic Waldner World Champion '89 blade. Great combination: Total weight 189 grams.

Review of Butterfly Tenergy 05Great rubber that provides everything needed to win at this game. Looping, pushing, smashing, speed acceleration, blocking, ball placement, counter attacking, hitting from near or far, you name it....it can do it. Great combination on my Donic Waldner World Champion '89 OFF inner fiber blade (SZLC). Using the 2.1 (max) on both sides of the blade and the touch and feel is very nice and the sound is tremendous. What makes this combination work is the blade has a stiff soft-like feel (spruce, sruce, carbonfleece zylon, kiri) while the rubber has IT'S OWN medium to medium hard feel. When looping, the rubber grabs the ball and sinks in just enough and brings out the best performance of the Waldner WC89 blade. Really enjoy playing with this combination. GIVE IT A TRY!!!

Review of DHS Gold Arc 8Very fast and bouncy using the 47.5 version. Need good technique to control it. Using a blade that has good dwell time (inner fiber) and the ball still shoots out like a cannon. Good for a player who likes the speed aspect of the game. Will stick to my Tenergy 05-FX or Bluestorm Z3 for better control and spin.

Review of Donic Desto F3 Big SlamRubber offers exciting playing characteristics, speed, spin, control, blocking, ball placement, and most of all awesome sound. Great for semi-hard blades. Offers good feel and touch when ball meets rubber and sponge and sinks in so you can feel the characteristics & features of the blade (Waldner World Champion `89 OFF). One of the best spin elastic rubbers on the market that can accelerate speed you need to score a point. One of the best blocking rubbers on the market. All positive features when the proper technique is used to deliver or receive the ball. 5 stars * * * * *.

Review of Donic Vario Big SlamVery nice playing characteristics. Speed there when you need it (tad slower than F3 Big Slam). Offers nice spin capabilities (tad more than F3 Big Slam). Very nice control rubber. Blocks very well and ball placement comes easy. Very nice rubber to play with. Not a whole lot of difference when compared to Formula Donic F3 Big Slam.

Review of Donic Bluestorm Z3Z3 (2.1mm) thickness on the forehand and backhand side. Matches up and plays very well on OFF & OFF+ blades. Rubber has a great balance between speed, spin, and control. Blocking is outstanding. Ball placement comes easy. Donic has done their homework in creating the BLUESTORM SERIES rubbers (well done). For me Z3 (2.1) is a nice match for the Donic Waldner OFF & Persson OFF+ World Champion 89' blades (IMO). Nice touch and feel, good control, outstanding blocking, great speed when power hitting, and the sound is like a crack of thunder when hitting hard. Definitely NOT a slow rubber and super fun to play with. Rating it a 10 because it is a well balanced rubber and does what it is supposed to do. FYI: The rubber is medium to medium soft.

Review of Donic Bluestorm Z1Works very well on my Donic Waldner World Champion 89 Blade. Using the (2.1) thickness on the blade (both sides) and it gives me the speed and power when needed but most of all it is very controllable and ball placement comes easy. The Donic Waldner WC89 blade is known for being a blocking machine and if you put Z1 on the blade it will definitely enhance the blocking (nice combination). 5 Stars and a 10.

Review of Donic Bluestorm Z2Put this rubber (2.1) on both sides of a Donic Waldner WC89 blade and it performs very well. Ball placement and blocking comes easy. Blade and rubber provide a very nice touch and feel sensation and when exploding the ball the sound is great. As of today the Bluestorm Z2 rubber is the best I've used when comparing it to other medium to medium hard rubbers. Have used the Z1 & Z3 versions and they also perform very well with their own personalities. Donic has done their homework in providing a winning Bluestorm Rubber Series for the new plastic ball (IMO). 5 Stars and a 10.

Review of Stiga Calibra LT SoundHas the speed you can accelerate and the softer sponge makes the ball easier to block and control. I would compare this rubber to DONIC Baracuda Big Slam with the same amount of speed and spin. Proper technique is very important when using catapult rubber of this caliber.

Review of Tibhar Evolution EL-PPaired this rubber (Max) on a Joola Rosskopf Emotion blade on both sides and the speed is there when you need it and the spin is very nice along with nice feel and touch with good control. Blocking and ball placement comes easy. Very nice setup.

Review of Tibhar Evolution FX-PFast with awesome control. The weight is perfect. Ball placement and blocking comes easy. Has a very nice grip and plays exceptionally well. Put this rubber (max) on both sides of the Gambler Fire Dragon Hinoki blade and it performed exceptional. Keep in mind that the speed of the rubber is dictated by the speed of the blade when reviewing. Outstanding rubber with amazing control with the ability to perform the way you want it to. Getting good results using Butterfly Free Chack II glue (best one layer glue on the market IMO) one layer on blade and one layer on the sponge. Note: Used many high profile blades but the Gambler Fire Dragon Hinoki FL was a bit of a surprise (top-notch craftsmanship and gorgeous). Also, the rubber performs well on a Butterfly Garaydia ZLC and a Donic Ovtcharov Carbospeed. VERY NICE RUBBER (IMO).

Review of Tibhar Evolution MX-PPut Tibhar Evolution MX-P Max on both sides of my Donic Waldner World Champion 89 OFF SZLC inner-fiber blade and the speed, power and control is awesome. NOTE: This rubber plays better after two weeks of using it and breaking it in, AMAZING. Ball placement and blocking comes easy. Deserves 5 Stars and a huge 10 (my favorite combination AS OF NOW). FAST and POWERFUL rubber has it's own personality and definitely will improve your game as long as proper technique is used. Great rubber for OFF- and OFF blades and probably a monster if using OFF+ blades. I prefer OFF- to OFF type blades with an inner-fiber makeup. Tabletennis11 has the best pricing with discounts for your table tennis needs check their website out.

Review of Tibhar Evolution MX-SRubber seems to have it's own identity and personality and definitely in a league by itself. Great rubber with many gears!!! Awesome speed acceleration with very good control. Using MAX thickness on a Donic Waldner World Champion '89 Blade. What makes this COMBINATION standout is the blocking and ball placement comes easy with nice touch and feel and the top sheet grips the ball like no other. Very spinny and powerful as you want it to be as long as proper technique and skills are used. Very easy to open up with this rubber. Produces a nice spinny curve with correct wrist and arm movement. Flicking also seems to be easier. 5 BIG STARS AND A HUGE 10.

Review of Tibhar Evolution MX-P 50Using an inner-fiber blade with Evolution MX-P 50 (Max) on my backhand side and Bluestorm Z1 TURBO (Max) on my forehand side. Very nice rubbers with a low to medium arc. Controllable speed with very nice spin and good feel. Not as hard as one might think with awesome touch for ball placement. Blocking comes easy. The Tibhar Evolution rubbers along with the Donic Bluestorm rubbers are right up there with the best rubbers for today's modern game as long as proper technique is practiced and then used in game play. For today's modern game it seems heavier blade weight and harder sponge rubbers are playing a big integral part of the game now. I also think very high of the Evolution MX-S (Max) rubber on both sides of my inner-fiber blade (GREAT RUBBER).

Review of Yasaka Rakza 7 SoftYasaka Rakza 7 Soft MAX. Excellent playing rubber. Fun to play with. Control and ball placement comes easy. Very nice touch and feel when delivering and receiving the ball. Gives you the power and speed as needed. Good for counterattacking. Compliments my Donic Waldner World Champion 89 OFF blade when blocking and everything else. Amazing rubber in the same class as Butterfly T05-FX 2.1, Donic Bluestorm Z3 2.1, and Tibhar Evolution FX-P MAX. No complaints here. GIVE IT A TRY!!!
