61 Second Lightning DS PRO

ATTENTION: all 61 second rubbers are NO LONGER on the ITTF list and are therefore no longer allowed in competition!!! The red version of this rubber has been (2/2023) redesigned. (- darker sponge and a non-transparent topsheet in a lighter red !) The playing characteristics have also changed a bit. Rubber available in 3 hardnesses. 35,37,39 degree! At first I ordered 37 degree version. (... in my opinion all versions are round about 5 degree harder at int. level!) The top sheet is a little bit sticky and is, just like the sponge, very clean processed. Control, spin and ball placement are very good, the speed medium fast. Weights: 1.5 mm 46 g. and 2 mm 56 g. uncut. On my OFF blade, 157 x 150 mm, they weighs 33 and 39 g. After I had previously only ordered this rubber with a 35 & 37 degree sponge, it was now the turn for the 39 degree version. (2 mm, black. - lo and behold, still very good quality and low weight, as well as (... in this harder version) a little more speed and spin. (... than both softer versions) Unfortunately the quality of the black upper rubber is not as good as I was used to with the red version!!! (- here too the sponge is now darker!) The uncut weight of my rubber was 56 g. inclusive foil and at last 41 g. on my OFF blade. (157 x 150 mm). Addendum: the 39 degree version, 2,2 mm, red weighs on the same blade 45 g. Conclusion: no matter what degree of hardness, this rubber is definitely recommended. - for beginners and possibly also for advanced users! For me personally, this rubber in the 39 degree version is a real option for the backhand. Either with 2.2 mm or possibly also 2 mm on a very fast blade. Addendum: If YOU prefer speed, take the Lightning DS "non tacky" !!! If you prefer more spin, take the Pro or the Eagle. ( ... Pro and Eagle have a middle throw angle, a bit higher as by the DS "non tacky" version.) In addition, the Eagle “is the speed between” the DS pro and the DS non tacky !!!

I'm using BH 2.2. 36(normal version) / FH 2.0 39(pro version) on 729 RITC Z-1. PRO version Rubber is slightly faster than normal version rubber. not fast not spinny as much as japanese, germanic but cheap and good-controlled. slightly tacky.

It is cheap and seems good using it on Yinhe 11 s wooden blade and I have the thin 1,5mm version. Gives good control and spins ok
