The DHS Skyline 2 table tennis rubber is a classic all-round rubber that offers a perfect balance of control and spin. It is suitable for players of all levels, from beginners to professionals.
The Skyline 2 is made with a natural rubber top sheet and a sponge backing. The sponge is medium-hard, which provides good speed and control. The rubber also has a sticky surface, which helps to generate spin.
One of the best features of the Skyline 2 is its versatility. It can be used for a variety of playing styles, including both offensive and defensive strokes. It is also very durable, so it can withstand many hours of play.
The Skyline 2 is a great choice for players who are looking for a rubber that offers good control, spin, and speed. It is also a very affordable rubber, making it a great value for the price.
Here are some of the reviews from forum users:

"I'm a professional player and I use the Skyline 2 as my backhand rubber. It's a great all-round rubber that gives me the control and spin I need to win matches."
Overall, the DHS Skyline 2 is a great table tennis rubber for players of all levels. It offers good control, spin, and speed, and it is very durable.
This rubber is very tacky (in the non-neo version) and has outstanding surface friction, and the result is tremendous spin. It takes 4-6 hours to break in, and once it does you have a unique weapon in your hands - spinny, consistent, great gears, great short game. However, it’s not for everyone as it requires tremendous strength to generate the pace that is standard in the modern game, and, as a result, tremendous all-body endurance to sustain this level of effort. Given that nobody talks about this here or on the forums, I’ll note that Skyline II also chops brilliantly, even in 2.1mm. (You can watch old videos of Ma Lin butchering some of the dirtiest chops around on YouTube, and pretty much model his style of play in general if you embrace the Skyline monster.) On that note, TT11 - please start stocking the 1.8mm DHS non-neo Skylines and Hurricanes again. There’s a real market for thinner sponges these days. If I could get this in 1.8mm, I would never use another rubber. As it stands, I’ve ordered a slower defensive blade than my Defplay to see if I can get the control I desire to use this rubber for modern defense in 2.1mm.
I liked the rubber a lot on the forehand; it allowed you to play powerful and spinny shots. The problem was that when you didn’t play actively, it gave a very slow block which gave the opponent too much time to attack. So I would recommend it on a naturally active forehand, but not on the backhand since one is unlikely to be naturally active on the backhand all the time. It is probably the first hard rubber I have categorically been unable to use on both forehand and backhand with confidence.
We can use this rubber with Tibhar Carbon Shot. Very effective. If you’re playing for fun, and local tournaments, for state and international tournament levels, we have to use a carbon acrylic blade for it to be effective.
