Got my XuShaofa 999 LSZ factory tuned in today and just slapped it on the blade. Off the bat it looks and feels just like Globe 999 National. The sponge feels the same hardness and looks the same. The topsheet is thick just like Globe 999 Nat so it looks like this rubber will have great durability. Hopefully I will be able to hit with it tonight!

I would like to read about it's speed -- main weakness when using non-tuned Chinese.

This is "factory tuned" however!

Exactly. That's why we seem very eager for your report.

To me it's defintely faster than most non-tunes Chinese rubbers, especially in it's top gear.

I agree! It plays fairly well. I used to tune the crap out of the sponge to get a good effect with national. This sponge is exactly like it so it's hard and you will not hear the "crack" of the tuning effect unless you are hitting hard or flat. I will be using this as my main rubber barring that the monster Apollo sheet I have on the way in is too uncontrollable. Which I'm betting it is.

No need for an in depth review from me... I feel it plays exactly like Globe 999 National tuned

On a personal note... No more illegal tuning for me! Yes!!!!

i couldnt seem to find the review for globe 999 nat, does anyone have the link for it?

I did one a while back on this forum. I'll try to find it.

EDIT: Looks like it's not part of the site anymore... can not find it.

Hi,

I've bought this rubber (999 lsz factory tuned) and sadly the tuned effect worn off in 3 weeks... I've put a brand new one sheet this week and of course it's a lot better... hope that this time it will last more than 3 weeks but i am not very optimist to be honest.

Did you see the same thing about the tuning and are you still using this rubber? Is there a new alternative?

Thanks
