Friendship/729 Focus 3 Pre Energy Aggregation

This rubber is available in 3 sponge hardnesses (42/44/46 degree), but only in one sponge thickness. (2 mm) My original plan was to compare the Friendship Focus 3 Snipe (at 42 degrees) to the Focus 3 Pre Energie (at 42 degrees). - unfortunately I got this rubber in the version with 46 degree sponge !!! ... and so the actual purpose of my test is no longer given and of course neither is the comparison. But whatever !!! Facts: black rubber, 2 mm thick, the 46 degree sponge is under a lot of tension. ( - and seems a little softer to me! ) The rubber was sealed airtight in foil and had a total weight of 62 grams. Uncut with the protective foil covering it was 54 g, without the foil ultimately 52 g. (- like the Focus 3 Snipe, this rubber is also relatively light !!!) Experience has shown that a weight of 39 or 40 g should end up. (156 x 150mm). - I first cut the rubber to (slightly larger than) “Cybershape”, to test it on different blades! In my first test, I still used the Focus 3 Snipe for comparison on an XVT ZL koto blade! Of course, you can feel the harder sponge of the Focus 3 Pre immediately. It delivers more rotation as well speed and catapult. ( - this rubber seems most similar to the KTL pro XP Red Dragon! ) In my opinion, this rubber is perfect for the backhand. - only far away from the table, I would wish for a little more speed! On the forehand side, this rubber would not be an option for me because it is simply too slow for me and produces too little spin. - considering the low price, this rubber is absolutely worth the money!!! ( I will probably order and test the 44° version again )
