Friendship/729 Higher 2

I had this in 2.2mm Black on my Yinhe T-8 blade. I tried it on both my backhand (BH) and forehand (FH).

It felt too slow, even on the Off T-8 Carbon Arlylate blade. I also felt like it lacked the spin that I was accustomed to with 729 rubbers.

I only trained with it for about 10 hours and decided to discard it. It was a complete waste of money for my spin driving game at mid distance.

It might be more useful for a beginner who is looking to build or order their first customized bat.

Review Text

This rubber excels in spinny serves and modern defensive playstyles. It provides exceptional control but lacks speed.

I tested this rubber in both offensive and defensive styles. Here’s my recommendation:

For players prioritizing control and placement over powerful attacks, this rubber is highly recommended. It’s also well-suited for defenders, who will find it easy to chop and execute various techniques near the table.

In offensive situations, this rubber imparts significant spin on topspins but lacks speed. Therefore, players should focus on precise placement or powerful smashes.
