Might be, but this is at the risk of getting a really head heavy blade, which (according to me) makes the blade feel a lot heavier then a well balanced blade, even if the actual weight of the balanced blade is a lot more.

I know Haggisv does his best to convince the lot of you that Globe 999 National is the answer to your wet dreams, but believe me, it's not

I tried it and I can safely say, this rubber demands a lot of the player! If you use this, you can forget all about passive play as you are always forced to do something your self to get any form of reaction from it.

I lacked a lot in the technique department to get anything out of it, even on the rather fast Wavestone blade and a couple of layers speed glue, this rubber felt very "dead" to me.

So, if you have a good (or very good perhaps) technique and like tacky rubbers, give it a go, you might like it. Otherwise, stay clear from this monster as it will brutally show any lack in your skill and reveal the dreaded facts that you will not become the next Olympic champion.

I had my hopes to play in Beijing, but this rubber destroyed all my dreams, even as today is (about a year after my attempt with it) I wake up screaming and my girlfriend has to comfort me and assure me it was just a bad dream.

It's gone so far I've even visited a psychiatrist about this. He recommended me to cut the rubber in pieces and then burn it in some ancient sacramental ritual. After this, I should always sleep with my current blade next to my bed as a constant reminder that I'm no longer using Globe 999 National and I can sleep safely.
