Review of Table Tennis Rubber

After installing this rubber on my blade, I was able to beat a formidable opponent the very next day. In comparison to DHS Hurricane Neo 3 National/Provincial and DHS Skyline, this rubber excels in every aspect. It provides exceptional ease in lifting the ball and generating sharp topspin, making it a nightmare for opponents when hanging balls or looping. The control is also commendable.

The topspin on the ball is remarkably sharp, enabling over-the-net shots with precision. This rubber has proven to be an exceptional choice and will likely remain a staple on my blade for an extended period.

Specifications:

  • Uncut weight: 60 grams
  • Cut weight: 45 grams

Review: Province Skyline 2

I’ve played with this rubber for 14 months. Compared to its predecessor, the TG3 Prov, it provides more loop, even without a booster. I’ve also noticed improved TPB consistency, with shots going after landing on the opponent’s side. While it’s slightly bouncier than the TG2 Prov, my short game remains effective, although not quite as complete as with the TG2.

I purchased the 40-degree, 2.2 version from TT11. Konjecture’s initial review is accurate in its assessment.

Table Tennis Rubber Review

This rubber excels at generating its own power. However, it is quite sensitive when countering and has a significant bounce that requires adjusting the angle or slowing down to effectively handle opponents’ topspins. Countering topspins off the table is less demanding.

The rubber performs exceptionally well for serves and revives. Opening loops are manageable for stable loopers. It excels at blocking compared to traditional Chinese rubbers and performs better unboosted in my opinion.

This rubber is perfect for “power-blocking” against high-spinning shots due to its tackiness. It’s the tackiest rubber I’ve used, allowing me to hold the ball upside down for over two minutes.

Additionally, pushes are incredibly spinny and short, providing precise control. Boosting the rubber can result in excessive uncontrollability and is best suited for softer, flexier blades like Long 3 and Barwell Fleet.
