I just got this new rubber in from Galaxy. The Moon rubber is 'supposed' to be similar to Tenergy 05, whereas their Sun rubber (I'll start another thread on this) similar to Tenergy25.

The regular version of Moon was not available, so we got the more expensive "Pro" version. It seems the Pro version does not come with the carton packaging, but it's vacuum sealed and included a protection sheet. It's rather odd how they've included a plastic protection sheet within the vacuum sealed package. It is supposed to be factory tuned.

Here are some pictures:





This rubbers is 33deg on the CHinese scale, which is supposed to be 38-40deg on the Japanese scale. It does feel relatively soft, but I've not yet opened to measure it.

I will try this rubber and review it here. I'm not quite sure what blade to try it on, but since T05 does not perform well on the Tachi I think I'll try it on another blade. If anyone else has tried this rubber, please post here as well.

I'm going to be interested in this topic. I just tried Tenergy 64, and I like it more than tensors. I don't think my shots are that much better (maybe 5-10%), but the control and feel is much better.
But with a pricetag of 56 euros I refuse to buy those rubbers. So this could be an alternative.

Galaxy market the Moon as similar to T05. The Pro version is only a little more expensive to the regular Moon. I remember now that they told me that the Pro version is for Professional players, and is more tacky. I've yet to see if it's actually tacky or just more grippy, or if it's anything different at all.

We've got a 33deg and 36deg version, I don't know which will be closest in hardness to T05.

It's just that you mention T05 twice in your first thread haggisv



I actually really like T64 too. I can still justify the price of T64 as it lasts 3-4 times longer than the tensor I used to use - I was killing them every 2-3 weeks back then...

New versions of Moon and Sun are getting hyped up here in Korean online, especially on Hedgehog's forum. Next sells it as well. Maybe I test it out next time i visit him at his HQ. I am way overdue for a visit. The 50 minute bus ride takes me within 200 Meters of his HQ, no real excuse not to visit sometime this month. Nexy has a room setup with one table (decent room) for his staff and customers to tryout stuff. Maybe I make a vid. I got a lot better, but maybe he wouldn't want that vid on the internetz. Maybe I should film only when I play one of his staff members. He would be disappointed to hear I broke my sample Lissom, but playing with it as a main blade a few months really helped out my overall TT game immeasureably.

All this talk about Moon makes me want to slap on a sheet (on the TBS) and go at it.

Isn't that the objective and the fun of TT gear experimenting?

Any chance you will also review the Mars V2 rubber? That would be the Tenergy 64 clone and it is what I'm most interrested in.

This is what I found on the internet:
Non-tacky Galaxy rubbers compared:
- Galaxy Moon, High throw, offensive rubber, comparable with Butterfly Tenergy 05!
- Galaxy Sun, Lower throw, close to table attack, comparable with Butterfly Tenergy 25!
- Galaxy Mars V2, Lowest throw, offensive rubber, controlled version of Butterfly Tenergy 64!

So that's why I asked

Someone said Moon is better than Thor's, just one person but still that's a big call it must be at least half way good. That writing looks like it came from the blue whale etching machine doesn't it?, I'm assuming yinhe don't own a rubber factory?

I've just glued a sheet onto a blade, with t05 on the other side... should be a good test tomorrow. I decide to test the 33deg version first, so that will be softer than T05.
