if you want a crisp feel then go for the H3 neo prov i had it about 6 months ago and it was the most crisp rubber ive ever used, but didnt use it for very log as i was in an Ej state was trying out other Hurricane/Tg rubbers

hmmm I guess Blue Whale II RS it is, should I get the untuned or tuned version?

Either. I think developing a loop with a full swing is important so maybe untuned. If you want more power than create it. You are young. Play strong.

@decoy: I think H3Nprov is too slow with my blade, Haifu BWII rs seems a little faster...

trust me man...H3N prov is not too slow

but haifu BWII rs is a good choice....tuned...it has a better feel and is still significantly slower then what you are using now....

just remember this is what is going to happen to you as soon as you pick up you blade with your new rubber...

1. "whew, this is a bit heavier" (don't let that bother you)

after the first hit warming up with your buddy

2. "wow, this is really hard" (and it is much harder then ur current rubber)

after looping for the first time

3. "This has NO speed" (that's because you are used to a softer rubber with a high bounce)

after looping with a strong forward brushing motion for the first time and your buddy blocks it into the wall behind you

4. "holy crap that was AMAZING"

and now ur hooked on chinese rubbers lol

tuned vs untuned is all about elasticity, get a tuned one...the untuned are not meant to be played like that, they are meant to be tuned themselves...

hmmm can't find Haifu BWII RS in medium/soft anywhere except at TTNPP

powerpingpong.com hasn't responded to my emails, I guess I can just get H3N prov from MTAG

I think BW2(tuned) is one damn fast and bouncy rubber compared to other chinese type rubbers. I tried it with the 38* sponge and didn't like it at all. It felt too fast, soft and kinda mushy, meaning I didn't get good feeling with it.
And why can't you order from ttnpp?

red sponge version?

extra 3 (carbon i take it) anyway it will be more that fast enough... ive played with old hurricane on a Stiga allround. and it was fast enough. the slower the blade the more punishment you can unleash with the hurricane rubbers.

if spin is what you want: Giant Dragon Topenergy soft Has more spin than Thor's IMO.

Agreed. Topenergy soft is a great do it all rubber. I just glued an old sheet on my blade and it seems to get better the older it gets. If you want long lasting pick this one.

Especially because you are still developing this one is good. It makes you swing hard for hard shots and soft for slow shots. Very vey linear. The stronger you get the better this rubber gets... Not saying bw 2 tuned or h3 provincial would not be great but giant dragon top energy soft is a hidden gems.

man you guys make this very hard for me... making more options rather than narrowing it down

@decoy: I use the allwood extra 3d not carbon

Do not make this too hard. Use one of the choices that you can afford and have access too. Train with it. The "magic/secret" is the training!

Best Chinese rubber without glue got to be :

Palio Thors
and
Hexer HD.


unless by chinese you mean "made in china".

Not sure if Hexer HD qualifies, not tacky.

If tack is no issue, than Hexer HD is great, but then you can open the floodgates for all the other (hard) tensors!

I think that the best non-glued chinese rubber is Butterfly Spin Art.

Not because I played with it, simply because it's $80.

And for $80 (and a commercial rubber at that), it had better be!

Also, a Hurricane 3 national, NEO National, or Neo National Blue Sponge may be up there.
