Hellfire x is a good rubber. All the products released by sauer and troger are excellent. However in my personal experience dornenglanz offers better spin reversal on active shots and is better able to hit through backspin balls. There is very little passive spin reversal on any modern long pimple, however dornenglanz generates a lot of spin reversal on active shots such as rolls / lifts, hitting, chopping and flicks. If you are used to playing with dornenglanz I would just stick with it.

I appreciate that. My only real concern with dornenglanz is it can be hard to find at times. Where I've been buying them in the US goes out of stock sometimes and with dornenglanz they don't last as long as other LPs I've used, I need to be able to get a few sheets from time to time. I bought two sheets a couple months ago and since then the price went up an additional $5 from the same company which make me wanna

With the price being near the same of Hellfire X now, it's getting more tempting to give that one a try once I use up the 4 sheets of DG I currently have. I still love DG and if I can find a reputable supplier with reasonable prices (including shipping to the US) there is a good chance I'll stay with it.

I can also recommend tabletennis11.com for ordering to here in the U.S. Just order enough to get the free shipping, and it's FAST. Most orders I've gotten in no more than 4-5 days after I order.

Thought it might be relevant, so I'm sharing this info here: Today, I emailed DMS and asked to compare Spectre and Virus 2. Their response was that they're the same in terms of speed. But, Spectre is more suitable for offensive LP users and Virus 2 is better for passive players.

That's good information, thank you for sharing that. I haven't tried Virus 2, but I did try out the Spectre. I can understand why they'd say that about the rubber, it did seem good for attacking, not affected a lot by spin, but also less reversal than a rubber like Hellfire X.
