Review of Table Tennis Rubber
This rubber is recommended for forehand strokes if you have a fast swing. It is important to maintain proper positioning as it does not tolerate errors. Pairing it with a hard carbon blade worked well, but a flexible blade might be a better option.
The short game is effective. Service is highly efficient; opponents often underestimate the rotation, making service returns particularly challenging.
Summary:
Tried this in 40 deg, red on a Yinhe MC-4 carbon blade. Comparing to H3N 41 deg, 2.15mm. Very domed when unboxed. I think that this is the rubber that has come closest to my H3N in all ways.
The sponge really seems a bit softer than the H3N, so I feel that flatter hits benefit from this, making them more controlled. The speed when brush looping is a tad slower, but in return you feel a bit more control when looping.
Short game is good, and easier to spin the ball than H3N. Really nice rubber over all. Tackiness is a bit more than H3N. Weight uncut: 71g and cut: 53g, so a bit on the heavy side.
Update I used this this weekend in a competition, and it works really fine. Don’t know what else to say. The floor was a hard wooden floor, and my H3N 41deg felt a bit fast, so I switched to B2 instead, and it worked like a charm. Of course the sponge is 40deg, so perhaps this made the softer more controlled feel, but this rubber is really sweet.
Me sorprendió gratamente. Su calidad es comparable a las gomas que cuestan casi el triple. Es muy divertida de usar, con un efecto sobresaliente que permite ganar muchos saques. Su velocidad es notable y me permite jugar cualquier estilo con ella.
