I haven't used 64, only T05 and I don't find it anything super special, if I did I'd be using it. Pretty much every decent rubber makes the same spin so the main thing for me is control versus speed and Shark is very good with that ratio

I just gave my (15h used) sheet of Shark II (yellow sponge) to a friend because it was a bit too fast for my current blade.
I do play Whale II (red sponge) and can comfirm foams findings.
Shark is definately lighter and faster than BWII, the loudest rubber I ever had, and with the biggest speed glue effect amongst the chinese rubbers i have played. As the top sheet ist not as tacky (almost no tack) as BWII you want be able to generate so much spin on short serves or pushes over the table. But than again its more about your technique than the rubber probably...
I will get definately a sheet of the red sponge version soon.
@ Foam: My sheet of Shark II was 33°, do you know if the soft version of the new one feels as soft as the old ones??
My BWII soft rs feel 6° harder than the shark II..

I was curious about this rubber, and I saw this review.

I might get this on my Ross Leidy blade, not sure.

Off-Topic:



I can't believe that nobody here saw anything wrong with that!

There is nothing wrong with it, Rocket Scientist and Brain Surgeon have both been used to describe the same thing for decades and people have been combining the two for extra coolness for at least all my life (40 years), there's nothing new about this

From Urban dictionary:

Rocket Surgeon: 33 up, 3 down
A hybrid of the terms Rocket Scientist and Brain Surgeon. "It is not that difficult, it doesn't take a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon to figure out."
How can you forget how to spell "ridiculous"
Clearly it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to spell common words correctly.

FYI: Both cut to Avalox P700 (perfect cut)
BW2 RS Soft: 42 grams
Shark 2 RS Hard: 50.2 grams

Shark 2 RS is not a light rubber (at least the hard ones I have)
Compared with:
Thors: 49.4 grams
Sanwei T88-I 39 degree: 57.6 grams!
Galaxy Venus 2 35 degree: 49.5 grams.
Regular Shark 2 37 Degree: 43.8 grams

Hello, i have a Shark ii cut 58gr in a butterfly blade, it's normal? It's too heavy for me.

My Whale added 10 grams but overall set up still ok at 180

i agree abut this, spin is very good, but not as good as T05
and this rubber do strange things, sometimes i feel it doesnt give any spin..
so i tested it with medium max yellow sponge
with soft slow touch u cant generate much spin (if the ball will not deep in sponge)
if u do harder stroke and when ball deeps into sponge spin is over average
but still spin is worse than with T05
what is good abt this rubber? is control
its 300% easier to lift underspin than with T05, its far less sensivite to incoming spin
i had same strange effect with BWII, after 2 month topsheet doesnt have much grip/tack and with soft strokes it was almost like antispin,but on harder strokes there is spin
