Friendship Bloom Arc Rubber Review

The Friendship Bloom Arc rubber stands out with its medium-hardness sponge, rated 7.5/10. This firmness provides a balance of control and power, making it suitable for both backhand and forehand play.

The rubber generates ample spin, allowing for effective topspin strokes. It offers excellent control on backhand shots, while delivering both strong spin and moderate speed.

In testing, the Bloom Arc performed exceptionally on a Stiga Long 5 blade. While its durability remains uncertain, the sponge may soften after breaking-in, potentially increasing the speed.

Despite its limited tackiness, the rubber maintains a high level of grip. It is relatively insensitive to incoming spin, but generates significant spin itself.

Notably, the Bloom Arc exhibited excellent performance from the moment it was glued, possibly due to factory boosting. The sponge’s firmness is comparable to ESN’s 48-49 hardness.

Review:

This rubber is excellent for playing with an open hand style. Its tempo is slightly slower than the power edition near the table, but it performs better than the power edition at mid-distance. It pairs well with a hard blade.

Conclusion:

This rubber is well-suited for the Chinese playing style, and it offers better control during training sessions of one to two times per week.
