Sword Hero Enhanced

medium-low throw, very hard sponge, very hard topsheet, non tacky, poor grip, doesn't react well to booster. stay away :)

This is a very good rubber. I use a Red MAX on my backhand. It is rated hardness of 46, although it is probably too hard on bh for some, it works okay for me. Seems to be a little better on a higher flex blade as it will give little more dwell time. I've used rubbers that are excellent for rallies and others that are good for looping short/underspin, this one seems to walk the tight rope pretty well. I did try to loop with it on fh and it feels very good. Good speed and spin but not overwhelming. The good thing is that shots just seem to land easily so I am less worried about controlling and can instead focus on unleash more of my own power. However decided not to use it on my forehand because the serves are not as spinny as I'd like. This one is close to if not the best rubber I've found for under $20, and I've tried almost all of the "cheap" DHS and 729 rubbers. Much more lively than most Chinese rubber.
