This is a new brand with some new hyped up rubber called P12. It's a Nittaku topsheet with a chinese sponge and german glueing technology. Total hardness of the whole rubber is 52 degrees. It's supposed to be on of the serious Tenergy alterna tives. It was promoted at the wttc in Dortmund.

Interesting...first time I've heard of it. Do you think it's made in China? There's a few Chinese rubbers that promote the fact that some of the parts are Japanese/Euro or the gluing uses Japanese/German technology, but in they're still made in China.

no the glueing is really done in Germany. The rubbers are quite a hype in Germany but people say the reason that it's so good is that the rubber is gas tuned. I don't know exactly what that is.

Interesting... Does it actually say 'Made in Germany' on the rubber?

The Gambler outlaw is only other rubber I've heard off that is gas tuned.

The first time I heard of it.
Wow, both the web and the blade's unique design concept are really amazing.

Very interesting, these guys address quite a few of the problems with rubbers blades and table tennis in general so I'm pretty impressed. Anyone that's pulled apart rubbers or put them together will know the layer of glue is applied all over the sponge and it does harden the surface of it and isn't a good thing. This spot gluing... I like that. I also like that they are taking a proper effort into having plantation grow timber which is a big deal for table tennis blades since I suspect the majority of them are and have always been cut from tropical rainforests. That's something that I've never felt right with when blade makers are pushing people to buy the latest blade. It seems like they have their heads in the right place anyway :up:
