Great rubber for the price.

It has a tacky surface, but it’s still easy to play with. It’s suitable for first-time users who want to try a tacky surface. It has good arc and great sponge.

In the past, I used a medium sponge on the forehand and a soft sponge on the backhand.

Recommended rubber for the price!

Do tej pory grałem deską Temper Tech All+ oraz różnymi miękkimi okładzinami. Zaczęło brakować prędkości i kupiłem nowy zestaw. Deska Tibhar Stratus Power Wood, na FH Big Dipper, na BH Moon Pro. Nie rozumiem, jak można dać prędkość Moon 9, a Big Dipper 8, skoro jest zupełnie inaczej. Moon 7, Big Dipper 9. Jeśli chodzi o Moon Super Dwie Gwiazdki, to wysoka parabola lotu, co bardzo lubię. Ogólnie świetna guma na BH, ale na pewno nie szybka. Bardzo dobra kontrola. Ogólnie bardzo dobra guma, zwłaszcza za tak niską cenę. Polecam.

This rubber performed well on the backhand due to its fairly high speed and trajectory. While it may not be the best choice for the forehand, the combination of speed and high throw angle made it easy to loop backspin on the backhand.

Fantastic rubber for the price. You can do everything with this rubber from flat hits to very powerful loops. The review is for a Black 2.2mm sponge medium and it actually felt pretty soft for a Chinese rubber.

Trow angle at least for me it was medium to low. It can really put the ball inside the table most of the times when you think it will go out but it every so slightly touches the white line at the end.

Also, the durability is great.

Hi, I’m a beginner player. After I used this rubber for my backhand, I think this rubber is suitable if you want to try the backhand for the first time. After I used this rubber, my backhand skill increased significantly. Now I can flick and backhand smash. I recommend it if you want to practice backhand.

Just buy it. It’s worth every penny.

Review: SOFT version of SpinLord UltraCarbon on FH.

The rubber excels in flat hits. While it’s versatile, its flat play is exceptional.

Compared to Apollo 5 36, it feels significantly faster. Moon Pro resembles a tensor rubber rather than a Chinese one. However, it retains the consistent play without the unpredictable catapult effect found in European tensors.

The soft version may be more suitable for backhand play, while medium or hard versions could be explored for forehand.

Red, 2.2mm, Hard version on a Yinhe Mercury Y-13. Weight: 48g cut. To my pleasant surprise, I found this rubber to be faster than I expected. Brush looping was excellent, and even the short game was impressive, possibly due to the relatively hard sponge. Flat hits were decent, but the throw angle was a bit low for my preference, as I am accustomed to the higher throw angles of Big Dipper and Hurricane/Skyline NEO series. I have been able to adjust my swing to accommodate the lower throw. Despite its hardness, this Chinese rubber allows for effortless slow lifting loops from under the table. It also provides a greater level of feel than I have experienced with other hard rubbers. The low throw is my only current concern, although I have only used it for two training sessions so far. Based on my experience, I would recommend this rubber. It feels well-made and is highly effective when used with the appropriate technique.

(Update 200720) I have switched to using this rubber with the Yinhe MC-4 carbon blade. This blade enhances control, elevates the arc slightly, and improves my overall game.

Update 200806 I have also tested the Medium hard sponge version with the MC-4 carbon blade. However, I was underwhelmed by its performance. This version is noticeably slower compared to the Hard version. Upon unboxing, the Hard version exhibited a dome shape while the Medium version did not. While the sponge appears to be identical, it seems that the Hard version has undergone additional treatment. The Medium version has a similar throw, but its brush looping capabilities are not as pronounced. Its relative slowness limits its effectiveness. I would rate this version as follows: Speed: 6.8, Spin: 8, Control: 8. This rubber compares favorably to the Globe 999 H40, offering a slightly higher throw and marginally better control.

Best described as a failed MX-P, it’s a rubber that makes me think, “this could’ve been good if…” It feels somewhat like an MX-P but lacks the dynamic, elastic, capacities - it feels stiff (not hard) and less responsive to minute wrist movements on the loop which control spin and direction.

Also, this rubber ages much worse than an MX-P. Where as the MX-P loses maybe its top end power on medium strokes, the Moon Pro becomes rigid which lets balls drop into the net on loops. Overall, I do not rate this rubber as very good.

I played with it on my brother’s blade - Yasaka Gaiten Extra. On BH he had Palio CJ8000 BioTech, which plays better - like a Sriver El with a bit of tack. Anyway, I think nowadays there are many better rubbers - for cheap rubbers I like Palio (HK1997, AK47, CJ8000).

I have used both Moon Pro (MP) and Sanwei Target Nation (STN) for a few years. I’ve tried both in black forehand with medium sponge MP and max sponge for both.

In my opinion, MP has a slightly harder and better quality sponge and topsheet, with slightly more speed and spin. STN has a little more control. MP comes factory boosted, while STN does not.

One nice feature of MP is the factory glue sheet that is already attached to the sponge, so you only need to apply glue to the blade, not the sponge. MP boosts better than STN, but the life of both can be extended by boosting.

These rubbers give back what you put into them, so both speed and spin potential is brought out by the player. I have used both rubbers on double inverted attacking setups and long pips backhand defensive twiddling style setups. All strokes work well; forehand chop takes some work but can be highly effective.

Both are excellent Chinese rubbers available for under $25 USD.

Yinhe Moon Pro Soft Max Black provides excellent sound, control, and a very nice feeling. Its speed is well above average for Chinese rubber, and it offers a medium-high angle. While blocking is not its strongest feature, it performs better than Hurricane Neo 3 Provincial. With a low price point, it is one of the top 5 Chinese rubbers and comes highly recommended.

Used as backhand rubber on several blades including a regular Butterfly and T11+. The latter was better, but it was still difficult for me to control. The spin was not enough for my playing style either. Despite its popularity, I did not find this rubber suitable for my needs. I have since switched to Xiom Vega V Euro and have found it to be a much more satisfactory choice.

#13 — May 2014

I have the 37-degree version.

It fits very well with the Galaxy T11+.

It is a strong forehand rubber, very easy to lift down spin.

It is not the fastest, but it has enough speed for intermediate players.

#14 — October 2013

I got Black Moon pro 2.1 H33. It became faster after a couple of days of training. It’s very consistent on slow and medium-fast loops, very spinny also when serving and chopping. It has a nice glue effect but less than tin arc 3, which is not as good as Moon on loops but better on smashes. I think I will stick with moon pro for a while… all my top spins land on the table!

#15 — January 2013

Plays quite a lot like a NEO Skyline TG3 with a softer sponge.
Quite nice.

Moon Pro H33° (=40°) is very similar to Jupiter but superior from all perspectives. Moon Pro possesses all of Jupiter’s qualities (exceptional control, substantial back or topspin, excels in hitting and counter topspins, GEARS capabilities), but it lacks Jupiter’s negative traits. Moon Pro is lightweight and “punchy” when necessary, highly capable at mid-distance, and offers impressive speed.

Chopping with Moon Pro is effortless, delivering heavy backspin and remarkable control.

I utilize Moon Pro with only a 1.3mm sponge, which aligns perfectly with my all-around playing style (modern defender).

Previously an avid Jupiter user, I am now smitten with its improved evolution, Moon Pro.

#17 — May 2012

Moon is a great backhand rubber but very good for forehand as well. It is more linear than T05, with a bit less spin but more controllability. It provides enough speed, spin, and control for mid-level players. However, it is a bit on the heavy side, so it is recommended to select a blade below 85 grams. While it may not be as high-performing as Tenergy, it is a sensible and great playing rubber that won’t break the bank.

#18 — March 2012

I’ve been using this rubber since the beginning of this season on both wings. I gained confidence after a while, and now I feel it fitting nicely to my play.

There is a big difference between the black and red rubbers: the black one is much harder, faster, and has less control. It is suitable for quick loops and hard strokes. The red one is more versatile, more “looping,” and fine for precise touches.

#19 — February 2012

Overall, a fantastic rubber.

I prefer it as a backhand (BH) rubber. It excels on push and touch shots, with the ability to really ramp up the speed on varying levels.

#20 — December 2011

I’ve used Moon Pro 39 for over 3 months. The purple sponge is hard but very versatile. I can do pretty much everything I want from H3/BW2, but Pro39 has a much better game off the table.

#21 — July 2011

I switched from Tenergy 05 to Moon Pro. I’ve tried the Moon, Moon Pro, and Sun Pro, and I find the Moon Pro the best for my game.

The Moon Pro provides better control over the short game over the table than Tenergy. It’s great for serves and pushes, but it gives up a little on looping, requiring more effort for the same result than Tenergy.

It does hit better than Tenergy, but if I was choosing a hitting rubber, I would look to Sun Pro instead.

USATT rating: 1856

#22 — May 2011

This rubber is fairly good, quite close to a Neo Hurricane 3 with a higher throw and a tad more speed (more speed than a normal Hurricane anyway). The spin is quite good, and control is up there. However, for me, due to the high throw, it throws me off a bit, as it’s quite a gap between the Hurricane. Overall, it’s a decent rubber for someone who wants a bit of Chinese tacky play with extra speed/catapult. It’s also a decent rubber for backhand strokes and blocks well too.
