Strange Rubber
This rubber has a very low throw angle, making it feel inconsistent. It is better suited for blocking than looping, and it may take some practice to re-adapt your strokes to this rubber.
DHS Sticky Rubber Review
Contrary to popular belief, I do not subscribe to the notion that sticky rubbers inherently produce more spin than non-sticky counterparts. From my experience, this claim holds true only when using tuners.
Specifications and Characteristics
I ordered this rubber with a 33-degree sponge and 2.1 mm thickness from AliExpress for €16. It is the softest rubber I have received from China, with an estimated hardness of 36 degrees on the international scale.
My red rubber, specifically requested to have “low weight,” weighed 61 grams uncut with foil and 43 grams on my 156 x 150 mm Palio R57 blade. It produces a delightful, loud sound on impact.
Performance and Conclusion
If you prefer extremely soft rubbers with excellent sound and mid-range speed and spin, the 33-degree version of this rubber is highly recommended.
Update
Subsequently, I purchased the same rubber in black. Unfortunately, it generates noticeably less spin. This disparity is disappointing.
Excellent rubber, which I have been using on both forehand and backhand on two DHS Power G12 blades for a long time.
Compared to Gewo Hype EL 40, Tinarc 5 Soft is slower, softer, and more controlled in offensive play. While Hype EL offers better control in defense, especially when playing with thinner versions, it is quicker in offense.
However, Tinarc 5 Soft has a fragile sponge. Once it is glued, avoid moving the rubber to prevent damage.
