DHS Memo

Rubber description:

The DHS Memo is a highly regarded table tennis rubber that combines quality with affordability, making it a popular option among players seeking an alternative to more expensive brands. With a speed rating of 8.5 and an exceptional spin rating of 9.4, the Memo excels in generating high levels of spin while maintaining commendable speed. This rubber is especially favored for its all-around performance, providing excellent control (rated at 8.8) and allowing players to execute a variety of strokes with ease.

One of the standout features of the DHS Memo is its tackiness, rated at 6.8. While it is not the tackiest rubber available, it still provides substantial grip for topspin shots and serves, facilitating an impressive spin generation. Players looking for a rubber that balances tackiness without excessive loss of speed will find the Memo to be an attractive choice.

In terms of weight, the DHS Memo is classified as medium, making it comfortable for prolonged play without causing fatigue. The sponge hardness is rated at 5.8, contributing to a softer feel that enhances touch and control. However, while durability is rated at 7.3, some users have reported issues with the topsheet detaching from the sponge, particularly in black versions, indicating that players should choose cautiously regarding color and sourcing.

For those considering alternatives, the DHS Memo has been compared favorably to the DHS H3, with some users preferring its livelier and faster characteristics. Overall, the DHS Memo is an excellent option for players looking for a versatile, tacky rubber that offers high spin capabilities and robust control, all at a competitive price point.

A very good, if not better, Chinese rubber that is an outsider. It costs about 18 Euro, so for the performance/ratio, it is a winner.

Very nice rubber, comparable to DHS H3. It has a more elastic sponge, making it livelier and faster. The topsheet is tacky but not as much as H3, still providing plenty of spin. The throw is significantly lower than H3.

Avoid buying the black version from TTNPP. I’ve ordered it twice, and both times the topsheet came loose from the sponge within two weeks. Strangely, the red ones I purchased from TTNPP haven’t experienced the same issue.

If you prefer tacky rubber and seek a faster alternative to H3, give this rubber a try.

I give it a 6. The rubber provides good spin with good control, but it is slow.

I have one 2.2mm in FH and one 2.2mm in BH. In the second one, the rubber detached from the sponge after 3 (three!!!) hours of play.
