Friendship/729 Bluesponge

Borracha muito lenta e com muita aderência. Pelo preço, útil para iniciantes.

This rubber is not designed for my style; no speed, but it is good for the lazy players. Good control near the table.

Really amazing control. Not fast, but really spinny.

The reason I like this rubber so much is that it is available in thinner versions. It’s unceasingly hard to find smooth rubber that works for defense. The price is great. It is tacky. It certainly doesn’t need boosting in the 1.0 or 1.2 types. I would guess in the typical thicker versions it would be rather average without boosting, but it is great to find something that works so well for defense, especially combined with pips on the other side for such a great price.

Inexpensive, good-quality rubber. Slow and controllable. Didn’t use it much, though, due to its low throw.

I don’t play that often, but this is a good beginner sticky-ish rubber.

It generates good spin, and I can even do pretty good backspin serves with it that stop at half long over the net or even shorter.

Good control and okay-ish looping ability, as the rubber is not so sticky that a spin ball from the opponent flies immediately in the wrong direction if not hit correctly.

Good to learn spin shots and easy to control, as well as pretty good speed.

Good

Low price, good rubber, recommended for BH.

Very good rubber for beginners. Must try on soft or medium hard blades.

Good rubber when boosted, so came back for a few more.

I like Chinese rubbers. Not as spinny as DHS Hurricane 3, but it has a better price.

It is preferable to boost it in order to break it in ASAP. Other than that, an excellent medium-hard lightweight rubber.

Perfect for those who want to develop their FH stroke.

This is my first Chinese rubber on my FH.

Very spinny and control is superb!

Cheapest rubber that I’ve ever used with superb performance! I boosted it 3 times (24 hrs, 12 hrs, 12 hrs interval) and paired with Butterfly ALL Secretin blade. Perfect spin, superb control, and decent speed!

I was hoping the rubber would be harder than it was. Lately, I have been wanting a hard Chinese rubber for my forehand. The rubber is great, I’m just looking for something else.

Good rubber and lightweight, but not suitable for carbon blades—I suppose so. It is designed for wood blades, otherwise, it plays like a “dead” rubber if you are lazy))) A real Chinese rubber. I put it on Venus 14 Pro (Galaxy Yinhe), like ALC. I need to work on my short game; long distance is with control. Use it against strong players to obtain some control. Understand how you play, your style. It gives spin/control/pretty good speed if you like the “Chinese style”. If you play the European style (lazy, to be bounced from the rubber w/o movement)—forget about it. It’s cheap, put it in wood blades. Suitable for BH better.

Good rubber, given the price. Slow rubber, but it can generate a lot of spin.

I bought a few pieces on sale meant for practice only. I boosted it and used it on FH. Wow, it is really good not only for beginners. It is easier to penetrate through the sponge and apply the power from the blade. There is enough spin, either chopping or looping. It performs well from the short game to the midrange. In my opinion, it is good for players of any level. I plan to stick it to my FH. For its price, it is way overperforming! BTW, this rubber best fits players who have a good foundation and have bottom-up power. If you rely on the power from your arm and a bouncy sponge, then this rubber is not for you.

About 40 degrees. Is tacky.

This rubber is great for working on technique. Even a small mistake and you will get punished. It forces me to use my legs more instead of just relying on my arm, because when I don’t use my legs the ball doesn’t go over the net. People who say this rubber is bad probably have bad technique themselves. It’s the player who plays the game, not the paddle.

I use it on my practice blade; good spin and control. I will get another for a spare.

Excellent rubber. I have been using it for many years since 1995. I recommend it especially for casual boys.

163×163×2.0 мм, весит 60 г. Это довольно легко, учитывая то, что у топшита почти отсутствуют пупыри. Резина небыстрая, цепкая, с тонкой губкой, хорошо подходит для защиты.

Давно хотел попробовать эту накладку толщиной 2,0 на FH CPen Yasaka Sweden Extra Ch.Pen вместо DHS TG2 2,2. Удивительно! Всем CPen рекомендую!

Pretty good rubber by itself; it’s more grippy than it is tacky. The sponge is fairly soft for a Chinese rubber as well, but I do find the ball sometimes doesn’t bite the rubber, causing it to slide off.

With two layers of booster, this is a different machine, picks up low balls with great ease, and I really feel the ball bite into the sponge. I am able to loop short balls back over the table with extreme ease.

Good for those of you who want to start using plastic balls. They are cheap and were on sale for four boxes of six for the price of three boxes!

Fair for the price.

Very good product. Very spinny, yet real good control, and fast. Real springy sponge; overall great product.

Great sponge, good bite.

Blue sponge version made for forehand. Had never tried this one and I must say it is the hardest piece of rubber I’ve tried so far. And it didn’t get any better after two weeks playing with it. OK, it is cheap, but there are several other better options in the price range. If you want to buy it to get a feel of Chinese rubbers, you must boost it.

It’s a nice product for beginners for a nice price.

When tuned, it plays at the same level as those very expensive rubbers. It becomes super fast when boosted, but you must use 6–7 layers of boost. It is not too grippy, but offers unbelievable control.

• The price of this rubber reflects the respectfulness of “729 friendship”. It is just a rubber; why should it cost $50–$70 dollars? Why?
• This rubber proves that you can play like a pro with a $9 dollar rubber, and that the rest of the rubbers in the market are daylight theft and robbery.
• Buy it, tune it, and push your game with it.

Amazing rubber, like a Tackiness C. Great control and feeling. Thanks.

Considering the price, blue sponge looking great. As expected, not much speedy or springy, but pretty spinny. For the price, definitely worth a shot.

Good for FH & BH!

No matter what… blue sponge… handsome!

My first Chinese rubber. Good for BH. Simple rubber for beginners.

Great value rubber, very good quality, and yet again top service from TableTennis11.

Very nice FH rubber. This is my first Chinese rubber after Japan/European rubbers. With proper technique, this rubber shines in all strokes. Perfect control. Don’t want anything else.

Good rubber, but too soft for me.

More speed and more control. In 1.5mm, very good for blocking.

Great

perfect

It is not very durable, it is hard, but it has good spin. These rubbers were made for players who are starting in table tennis. It’s very cheap, but it hasn’t a lot of speed. For those looking for something better than the rubber sold in stores, I recommend it. Really, the quality is better than any rubber accompanying a racket.

Não é muito durável, é dura, mas tem muito efeito. Essas borrachas foram feitas para jogadores que estão iniciando no tênis de mesa. É muito barata, mas não tem muita velocidade. Quem procura algo melhor que as borrachas vendidas em lojas, eu recomendo ela. Realmente a qualidade dela é superior a qualquer borracha que acompanha a raquete.

Very good. TT11 is the best shop, very good products. Order arrived in Italy in only 6 days. I will always buy here next time.
