Review text:

Paired with Donic Dotec Walder AR blade, this rubber did not seem to excel in any particular area compared to other rubbers available on the market at the time of this review (2015). The combination of high throw, soft sponge, and low control did not prove to be effective.

With improved control, this rubber might have had more potential. However, due to its low control (as also indicated by the community ratings), it failed to perform exceptionally well in any aspect, delivering a performance that could be matched by other rubbers at a similar price point.

Despite its noticeably higher throw compared to standard rubbers like Hexer or Vega Europe/Vega Pro, it lacked the control, spin, or speed of these rubbers. The throw angle was slightly lower than T05.

Numerous rubbers offer better combinations of control and spin, control and speed, speed and throw, among other factors. Unless the Dotec AR was a poor blade/rubber combination, the community ratings provide an accurate assessment of its performance, with ratings such as 5.5/10 for durability and 5/10 for gears, indicating an overall average performance.

Not so fast but very controllable and spinny rubber. Good choice for backhandside for all-around players. 2.0mm is the best option for me. I really like this rubber.

Very soft sponge and light rubber utilizing tensor. Control is much better than most tensors due to the soft sponge (extra dwell time).

Quite fast though, meant for spin more than speed.

Most suitable for all-rounder attack with extra control rather than all-out speed.
