Review of Andro Hexer Grip SFX

I'm an amateur player at an intermediate level. I prefer allround style close to table and at mid-distance.
I play Nittaku Piecea (5-ply hinoki woods) with Nittaku Sieger PK 50 (2,0) on my FH and Andro Hexer Grip SFX (1,9) on my BH.
Andro Hexer Grip SFX is a really nice rubber. Not hard but no too soft, very spinny with moderate catapult effect. The speed and sensivity for incoming rotation are average. The control is good, but you have to play a dozen hours to feel this rubber. Comparing to Rakza 7 Soft - which in my opinion is very similar rubber - Grip SFX is harder to control and has lower throw angle, but offer more difficult strokes to handle for your opponent.
I trully recommend this rubber. I use it on my BH and I am really happy of it.
To sum up, my rating for Andro Hexer Grip SFX (in scale 1 to 10) is:
Speed = 8,5
Spin = 9,3
Control = 9,0

Review of Nittaku Sieger PK50

I'm an amateur player at an intermediate level. I prefer allround style close to table and at mid-distance.
I play Nittaku Piecea (5-ply hinoki woods) with Nittaku Sieger PK 50 (2,0) on my FH and Andro Hexer Grip SFX (1,9) on my BH.
Nittaku Sieger PK 50 is an amazing rubber, the best I ever had. Very spinny with a huge control and moderate speed without unpredictable catapult effect. That combination is perfect for me. I can play various types of shots and each of them is diificult for my opponent. This Nittaku rubber helps create a great serves too and is not very sensitive to incoming rotation. The only thing to keep in mind is that you should probably use more power to your strokes compared to the other rubbers you used before.
I highly recommend this rubber to everyone who likes technical game close to table with the wide range of strokes.
To sum up, my rating for Nittaku Sieger PK50 (in scale 1 to 10) is:
Speed = 7,5
Spin = 9,5
Control = 9,8

Review of Nittaku Moristo DF

In my opinion the Nittaku Moristo DF is a very good rubber for allround players and modern defenders.
For few years I used it on BH so I could really recommend it.
It has a huge control, moderate speed and decent spin.
This combination allows you to block balls easily and play precise returns exactly where you like on the table. It also allows you to attack when you want a smooth move from defense to offense.
Moreover, the durability of this rubber was very, very good.
To sum up, my rating for Nittaku Moristo DF (in scale 1 to 10) is:
Speed = 8,0
Spin = 8,5
Control = 9,2

Speed	9.0

Review of Nittaku Fastarc C-1

I use Nittaku Fastarc C-1 on my backhand.
It took me only about ten hours of play to adjust my habits after change my Andro Hexer Grip SFX to this Nittaku rubber. And I don’t want to come back to Andro, in spite of I really liked it before, because in my opinion, the Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is at least as good as Andro Hexer Grip SFX in close to table play and no doubt is much better in mid distance strikes.
Of course I know there are exists faster, spinnier and more dangerous rubbers for my opponents, but for 47 years old amateur player as I am, I think that Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is an ideal option.
I have a lot of control, quite good amount of spin and nice level of speed I'm able to handle. And what is the most important – I can create various types of strikes and have a really huge fun of play.
Nittaku Fastarc C-1 is very stable and repeatable in close to table play. Blocks are easy and I have full control to place the ball where I want. My hits are not too slow, so there are not too easy to pick up for my opponent. The amount of spin I can create is a bit lower than with Andro Hexer Grip SFX but still is really good and on the other hand I have no problem to handle the incoming rotation.
When playing further away from the table, I have enough power and control at the same time, and changing/reversing of incoming rotation is not a big deal.
With the Nittaku Fastarc C-1 I can effectively do all sorts of serves - short, long, forwardspin, backspin, sidespin, no spin... It's really simple.
And one more very important thing for me - as I wrote above - I don't like the catapult effect, which is characteristic of many modern rubbers, so I'm glad that with this rubber it is practically unnoticeable.

Review of Tibhar Quantum S

Tibhar Quantum S is an easy to play rubber. It does everything well enough, but does nothing perfect. Moreover, what is important to me, it hasn't got unpredictable catapult effect.
With this rubber you can make really variuos strokes so it is in my opinion very good choice for allround players like me. I used it for a few years on my Forehand. The durability of this rubber was very good.
To sum up, my rating for Tibhar Quantum S (in scale 1 to 10) is:
Speed = 8,8
Spin = 9,2
Control = 8,8

Review of Tibhar 5Q VIP

Tibhar 5Q VIP is a very good rubber but a bit too fast for me. It has a lot of spin and quite good control. I recommend it for Forehand if you like an offensive play. As I wrote before, for my allround style it was little too fast.
But it is worth emphasizing that the durability of this rubber was very, very good.
To sum up, my rating for Tibhar 5Q VIP (in scale 1 to 10) is:
Speed = 9,4
Spin = 9,2
Control = 8,4

Review of Xiom Musa

The Xiom Musa rubber was not suit me well. It was too slow for FH and too fast for BH, and the amount of spin was not as big as I expected.
Two undoubted advantages of this rubber are: a high level of control and great durability.
To sum up, my rating for Xiom Musa (in scale 1 to 10) is:
Speed = 8,5
Spin = 7,5
Control = 8,6

Review of Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft

Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft is really good rubber. Got a lot of spin and great control. Moreover it is rather soft and not much speed. This combination makes it incredibly easy to play. I highly reccommend this rubber on Backend for every intermediate allround player.
