Friendship/729 Geospin

Rubber description:

The 729 Geospin table tennis rubber from Friendship is a high-performance rubber designed for advanced players looking for excellent spin and control. With a speed rating of 9.5 and a spin rating of 9, the Geospin is one of the fastest and spinniest rubbers on the market. It features a tacky topsheet that produces outstanding grip and spin, allowing players to impart heavy rotation on the ball. The sponge hardness of 5.6 provides a solid feel and excellent responsiveness, enabling precise shot placement and control.

The Geospin is particularly well-suited for players who rely on spin and deception to win points. Its high throw angle of 3.7 facilitates the generation of high-arching loops, while its consistency rating of 6.7 ensures that players can maintain control even during intense rallies. The rubber's durability rating of 6.1 makes it long-lasting, providing players with consistent performance over extended periods of play.

Overall, the 729 Geospin is an excellent choice for advanced players seeking a rubber that offers a combination of speed, spin, and control. Its unique characteristics make it ideal for players who want to dominate their opponents with spin-based tactics.

According to forum reviews, the 729 Geospin is particularly effective for forehand looping and serves. Players have praised its exceptional spin and control, noting that it allows them to generate incredible amounts of rotation and place the ball accurately on the table. The rubber's speed has also been commended, with many players finding it fast enough for aggressive play.

However, some reviewers have mentioned that the 729 Geospin can be challenging to control for beginners and intermediate players. Its high speed and tackiness can make it difficult for less experienced players to handle, leading to errors and inconsistency. Additionally, the rubber's relatively low durability has been a concern for some players, who have reported that it wears out more quickly than other rubbers.

I tried this rubber on both the backhand (BH) and forehand (FH) using a TTSPORT OFF blade. It is fast enough, but it requires excellent technique to use effectively. The spin potential is lacking, and controlling the rubber can be difficult. If you don’t hit the ball with full strength, it tends to go into the net.

The short game is good; however, for my forehand, I find it too hard, and it provides insufficient control for my backhand. Overall, I don’t think it’s worth purchasing. I recommend getting the 729 Geospin Tacky instead, as it performs much better in all aspects.

I have been using this rubber for almost a year, and I really love it. It performs well for both forehand and backhand shots.

The rubber offers good speed and spin, making it suitable for loops, drives, pushes, serves, chops, and blocks. Additionally, it is great for beginners since it is easy to control.

Overall, I would rate it 8 out of 10.

Rubber yang saya gunakan di backhand adalah Xiom Omega VII Pro. Meskipun tidak terlalu istimewa, rubber ini cukup baik untuk pemula yang ingin belajar mengenai teknik spin.
