Review of DHS G888On a Galaxy T8 with 729-8-ES on other side. Used against my robot for about 3 hours. Very, very tacky. High throw, medium speed, lots of spin. Spinnier, slower and less control ('cos of the tackiness) than the 729. Will try this combination at comp this week, with the G888 on my backhand.

Review of DHS Skyline TG2 (No. 19 Sponge)Using this on b/h of Donic Waldner Senso Carbon blade. Softer sponge than "typical" chinese rubber suits my (intermediate level) looping style. Good spin, good control.

Donic Acuda S2

Review of Donic Acuda S2I just can't come to grips with this rubber. I've tried it on my 2 Donic blades and my new TB ALC - nothing works for me. Brush looping against the robot results in the ball skidding across the topsheet and dropping into the net. A driving rubber only. Not a keeper for me.

Review of Friendship/729 729-08 ESOn a Galaxy T8 blade with DHS G888 on the other side. Used for 3 hours against my robot. Medium tacky. Faster but less spin than DHS (not by much). More consistent and easier to control than DHS. I play a loop game and both these high throw rubbers loop easily. Currently prefer the 729 on my forehand. Will try this combination at competition this week.

Review of KTL (LKT) Red Diamond (Golden Cake Sponge)On the b/h of a Donic Waldner Senso Carbon blade. Nothing special but great consistency and control for my looping style. Good spin, good speed.

Review of Sanwei T88-IIII use it for backhand of my Donic Waldner Ultra Carbon. I play "frisbee" style top spin. Great control (brush or drive), lots of spin, surprisingly fast, consistent and forgiving. Much lighter than T88-I and solid feel on ball contact. I have Tenergy 05FX on the other side of the DWUC and the Sanwei is a little slower, about equal in spin at low/medium speed (loops and serves), higher throw, and more forgiving than 05FX.

Review of Sanwei T88-IIOn a All+ blade, tested against a robot, reminds me of Acuda S2 because the ball regularly "slipped" across the topsheet when attempting brush loops. Spins well ONLY if you engage the sponge. Speed similar to Acuda S2.

Review of Xiom Omega V ProGreat rubber for my f/h. On a Donic Waldner Senso Carbon blade, amazing control, not bouncy, not very reactive to incoming spin. Loops very well, brush or drive. Agree with Xsponge - this rubber has ability to suck up a fast incoming drive and pop back a slow short loop. No real weaknesses, a real "do it all" rubber. Well done Xiom.

Review of Yinhe JupiterFast, spinny, high throw, medium tacky.... and cheap.
I'm ordering more of them for my other paddles 'cos it works well on my forehand. Curently on a Donic Waldner Ultra Carbon blade. More spin and speed than Moon or Hurricane N3.
Update: didn't work well on less stiff blades. Still luv it on the Donic Ultra Carbon.
Update 2: glued it to a Bty TB ALC and it works a treat. Good speed, spin and excellent control for my backhand loops.

Review of Yinhe MoonTried this on Donic Waldner Ultra Carbon. Low tacky, medium throw. Less spin than either Mercury2 or Jupiter, less speed than Jupiter. It didn't give me what I was looking for. Will try on other blades later.
