DHS G666

Rubber description:

The DHS G666 is a versatile and well-regarded table tennis rubber, particularly favored by players seeking a balance between control and spin. Known for its noticeable tackiness, the G666 excels in generating high spin levels, making it an ideal choice for those looking to improve their looping and serving techniques. Its ability to produce spin is reflected in its impressive spin rating of 9.1, allowing players to manipulate opponents with demanding topspins and effective serves.

When it comes to weight, the G666 falls under the medium category, weighing in at a solid 6.8. This characteristic may demand some adjustment from players who are more accustomed to lighter rubbers, but many find that the added weight enhances their control and confidence during play. The rubber’s durability is rated at 6.7, suggesting it is built to withstand the rigors of competitive play, although some users have reported a decline in performance after a few months, so regular maintenance and care are advisable to prolong its life.

The G666 is particularly praised for its control, with a rating of 9.0, making it a great option for developing players who wish to hone their technique without being overwhelmed by speed. It encourages a focus on proper stroke mechanics and footwork. While it does not provide the sheer speed of some modern tensors or dynamic rubbers, alternatives like the Tenergy series or the DHS H3 Neo offer faster speeds but might sacrifice some control and spin. Overall, the DHS G666 is an excellent starting rubber for players looking to grow their skills while retaining a reliable level of performance.

A very good all-round rubber. On fast blades, it plays exceptionally well. Even on Butterfly Petr Korbel MagicHand, it provides a great feel. It offers high spin generation and features a medium sponge. It excels against backspin. The rubber provides very stable forehand (FH) topspin loops. For backhand (BH), it is suitable for players with spin-based techniques. Recommended.

J’ai commandé cette plaque en 2,1 mm sur le revers avec pour lame un Balsa speed.
J’essaierai de vous faire un compte-rendu dès que possible.

Premier essai en individuels (quatre matches dans la soirée). Mon top CD ne passait pas bien et ma frappe encore moins. Terrible pour un top spiner qui démarre le plus vite possible. Du coup, j’ai dû contrôler le match en poussettes revers. J’ai réussi à gagner 3 des 4 matches et la qualification pour le groupe supérieur en avril.

Le petit jeu en poussettes et coupes est aisé et plus facile qu’avec un Vari Spin.
Je viens d’apprendre à top spiner revers lors de mon dernier entraînement, et il a une bonne réserve d’accélération. Un revêtement sécurisant.

Je pense alterner mes topspins coup droit en gardant ma raquette sur soit Rasanter R37, soit G 666 : je ne tournerai pas ma raquette et garderai le même côté pour servir et top spiner, ou servir revers avec R37 et toper G 666 coup droit pour voir ce que ça donne en top. Je ne me priverai pas pour essayer de toper revers avec aussi. Je crois que je vais rendre fou mes adversaires, car je vais pouvoir jouer avec 4 revêtements différents, vu la différence entre mon CD et mon RV…

Je pense que la poussette revers ne me posera aucun problème avec le R37, vu que ma poussette revers est beaucoup plus aisée, or les poussettes CD avec le R37 ne sont pas très longues si je le désire, presque derrière le filet…

I have played table tennis for 20 years and have tried many rubbers. This rubber is the one I have been looking for. It is fast if you hit the ball right, but you must use your entire body to play, not just your hand. I am a modern defender and I use this rubber for forehand. It is perfect and very spinny.
