Karet Murah Tenaga Super

Karet ini memiliki harga yang murah namun memiliki tenaga yang sangat baik. Saya menggunakannya di backhand dan sangat cocok untuk teknik banana flick. Selain itu, karet ini juga menghasilkan backhand top spin yang sangat kencang.

Performa Lainnya

Dalam hal blok, karet ini memberikan performa yang baik. Bola yang diblok tidak terlalu melambung. Secara keseluruhan, karet ini merupakan pilihan yang sangat baik bagi pemain yang mencari karet dengan tenaga super dan harga terjangkau.

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.

#4 — Long Time Ago...

I tried this rubber on the forehand side of both my 729 Z2 and Yinhe 437s. I felt that it suited wood blades more than carbon fiber (my Z2 has a thin inner carbon) due to its short dwell time and dull vibration. You can generate good spin, the arc is relatively safe and consistent, so I’m confident doing topspin rallies with it. Serving and short touch are average, though sometimes the ball bounces a bit high.
