Hi,

Can someone compare these rubbers on the following:
Speed
Spin
Control (in short game)
Weight
Tackiness
Grip
Throw Angle
Hardness

I would love to try these but there are so many. I am playing T88-I but would love something with a bit more spin for brush looping slow balls and service.

Thanks

I am in two minds between choosing one for the FH:
Sanwei Rings Links or Palio Thors
T88-I (Have it already, spin on slow balls not good enough)
T05 (Too expensive, too bouncy in the short game)
Palio CJ8000 36-38 Japanese Sponge (Not much on a higher gear, too bouncy in the short game)

I have been using high throw rubbers on my FH for some time now (Palio CJ8000, T05, T88-I) and am worried about the transition to Palio Thors.

How is the life of a Thors compared to T05? I play 8 hrs a week and wouldn't want to change it before 9-12 months.

Thanks

Thor's is one of the most durable rubbers out there, you don't have to worry about it.

Wow

t88-i is a more user friendly hurricane III.
regarding the spin, I am using it in my fh now and it depends on your technique really, the rubber has good spin, specially if you take care of the topsheet (protection sheet).

t05 is a different kind of rubber (completely non tacky, euro style).
if you like euro style there's probably nothing better than tenergy.

cj8000 japanese sponge is too soft, I don't recommend it for fh.

thor's is not a bad rubber, you have to try it to see if you like it.
to me it lacked a little of spice, attacking ability, fire power, however you want to call it.
