Uh, Hi?
I'm "new" to this forum (I knew this forum 4 years ago)
Anyway as my first post, let's just review this rubber
Player profile : Cpen user, used to be shakehand, got tired of too much blade choices, opted for Cpen because only this prevents EJing. 182 cm height, Ma Lin structure
Player play : Offensive right-handed FH looper/counterdriver, plays both TPB and RPB.
TPB is only for "very left side" attacks, consisting of very aggressive TPB smash/hit and TPB Loop/Drive (Yes this is possible) and chop-block Ma Lin style stroke.
RPB is only for the "in front of body attacks" with drives/loops/block
A rather weird penholder, BH dominant play.
Rubber version : Max, Soft (61g), Red
Blade : YEO Cpen
Rubber position : RPB side
Actual review :
Rubber Physical Properties : Non-tacky, grippy topsheet with a litte less than medium sponge, harder than 729 Super soft, I'd say 34-35 DHS scale (I don't get ESN scales)
Blocking :
This rubber performs well in blocking, with the YEO, I can vary placements very well, the control is definitely there, and the speed is just medium-fast, less than AK47 by Palio
Driving :
This rubber forte is driving, the ball is good in spin, more than some other medium sponged rubbers in it's price range.
(I've tried the Yinhe Earth II, and this has just a little less spin than it, and less control, however it is less sensitive to spin, this is very noticeable) I play some mid to close distance drives.
My accuracy is improved from the lower sensitivity, however my opponent say they have no difference returning it than my old rubber.
Looping :
Very unique property of this rubber is the higher gear is a bit special, the speed is a bit less than Palio AK47. The spin is very strong, the kick effect is there.
Far from the table, this rubber speed is sufficient to make ball quiet long, and the spin is quiet strong. Opponent say sometimes the speed is annoying.
Medium throw a bit higher than that I think.
And the topsheet feels lively, but not too lively, it's definitely not dead.
Chopping (for emergency return) :
The ball is very linear and spinny. But nothing special
*Palio AK47 is the blue (softest one)
I think this rubber is worth giving a shot, the drive capabilities of this rubber is worth it if you like to play FH but BH is a bit weak.
The consistency in strokes of this rubber is well, I play RPB for consistency, waiting for enemy error in stroke. This fulfills what I want, I will stick to this rubber until I can save up to buy Xiom Vega ESN rubbers.
Sorry if my english is weird.
