DHS PF4-50

The slowest inverted rubber I have ever used. It is slightly tacky out of the package, but completely non-tacky after two play sessions. It is not at all spinny. It is great for placing the ball exactly where you want it, but not so much for hitting winners. It plays more like short pips than inverted in terms of spin and speed. It has a cut weight of 46 grams, which is about average for inverted rubber. It is great for novices and control players. I purchased a “medium” sponge version, which is about 1.8mm.

English:

For this price, you can’t find anything better: very good control for learning the shots, good speed, very nice spin. Way better than previous PF4 rubbers! The sponge feels really elastic.

Spanish:

Por este precio no encuentras nada mejor: muy buen control para aprender los golpes, buena velocidad, muy buenos efectos. ¡Mucho mejor que las gomas PF4 anteriores! La esponja se siente muy elástica.

The rubbers have very little effect, or you have to make a lot of movement to make a good effect. It is very difficult to handle in a game against a chop.

I have probably cut 60+ rubbers and this one turned out very jagged on the edges, crumbling despite using a very sharp box cutter type tool. Maybe my sheet was from a bad batch? Not light either, as my uncut sheet weighed 72g with a 2.0mm sponge thickness.

Es un artículo muy bueno y con buenas características.

Good grip.

Nice for training, good control and speed.

Excelente balance precio calidad. Todo lo que se necesita para empezar en el deporte.

Combining this rubber with a medium to fast blade will result in something incredible. It is a very good rubber for beginner and intermediate levels. Control is very good, blocking, drop shots, and pushes are excellent. Looping may not be as fast as with H3, but the new sponge works well with the 40+ ball and the tackiness is great. I used it for my backhand. Also, a big plus is that the price is cheap!

Very good rubber for new players, when starting to topspin this rubber is the best. Lasts approximately 8 months.

In my opinion, this rubber is a cheap Chinese value. It offers good speed and control. The speed is not sufficient for professional players, only intermediates. You will need a stiff, offensive blade. No boosting is needed.

The rubber is too mushy and too slow for a 50 degree rubber.

Very elastic, a surprising improvement of the DHS rubber compared to the previous versions.

Very grippy rubber. Needs boosting to get the best out of it. Actually quite good for the price.

Fantastic rubber for multiball, it’s also great for a friendly match.

Elastic, cheap, and good quality; to me, this is the best of the cheap rubbers.

Surprisingly elastic yet easy to control. Tacky Chinese top sheet on the fairly light elastic sponge. Is more predictable than you would expect.
Top spins can be thin contact using the tacky top or thicker with more sponge. I suspect that the lack of hardness will mean that top-end power is missing.
