Never heard of this brand before. Where are they available, and what are they? Any good reason to watch the video?

Available on princett, Rayhe being the FH and Stolz the BH offering.

I checked the LARC - Derwind is a very small brand, with three rubbers registered. "Stellar" - 164-003 - was just added. I went fast-forwarding through the video to see if I could figure out where these came from - I see the usual BIOS logo and "Made in Germany", so these are Tensors. I wonder if those players are really playing games or just doing drills... if they're actually playing games for real they look like pretty unimaginative ones. I suppose whether I would buy these rubbers or not would depend on price - I doubt they're much different from the dozens of other Tensors out there from other companies. If I could get the equivalent of, say, Rasanter or Rakza at a 10 or 20% discount I'd go for it...

Curious about why the little thumbnail on the opening screen (visible before you start the video) has "729" in the upper left hand corner.

AHA... Came across this again.. Eacheng's got them, so do Playa and a couple of others. Typically $24-26 a sheet.

I take back calling these "Tensors". They've got the Bios logo but no Tensor logo. That makes them similar to, say, Xiom Musa or DHS GoldArc 5. I can't see any indication of 729 on the package but they're not showing the blurb on the back. They claim it's a 729 rubber on the web page though.

Derwind is a sub-brand of 729.
