I noticed this rubber on ttdd and was it seemed interesting because of the stats, I like slow rubbers with lots of spin. With numbers like that(speed:4,spin:11,control:9.5) I'd expect it to be close to my tibhar super defense soft, but this rubber is rock hard and only available in 2.1, while I play with 1.3. Then I went to look at the site of Sword and despite not being able to read them, it shows 3 numbers around 12, so it might not be slow but still a very hard rubber with control, so that makes me think it might be something like Spin Art.

I would love to know if anyone knows anything about this rubber, because I can't find anything about it and it sure seems like an interesting rubber.

I suspect ttde have done their own ratings, with respect to their other rubbers, which is actually far more useful. Manufacturer rating are often highly inaccurate and their ratings cannot be compared to other rubbers since they use their own scale.

Want a slow rubber? Try Reactor Ckylin. That's s-l-o-w. I can't play with it.

The difference in the speed number is immense though, I think it has a very different feel compared to what I generally have if it's this slow and thick, but I guess there is no harm in trying one next season.

Was just looking to find some of the early buyers, but sadly they aren't there or haven't read this.

I finally remembered I still wanted to test this rubber, and I have to say it felt pretty good, the few ball I could play with it. I had it glued to and old blade, and I'm not too happy with my current one, so that might influence my judgement.

Anyways, the rubber is initially very tacky, lifting the ball is no problem, it didn't last very long but who cares anyways. The rubber is indeed weirdly slow for a max rubber this tacky and spinny. I loved the feeling of looping against chops, and chopping myself wasn't too bad either. Control is great, but I had trouble controlling the more direct balls, but that's not something new. I will need to do some more testing with it, but it certainly does what the description on ttdd.de says.
