I have been using DHS Skyline on my forehand for a while and it is showing its age and likely needs to be replaced. My usual sources in the US are out of stock (supply chain issues?). I have previously been a fan of Gambler rubbers, but don't know much about their new line and no idea how any of their options might compare to Skyline, which I really like. So
a. would any of the Gambler rubbers be similar to Skyline?
b. Options for purchasing Skyline in US
c. Other alternatives to Skyline

Thanks for any wisdom.

Thanks, but all I saw was the DHS H2/TG3/TG2 Neo, not the Skyline stuff on that page. Oh, I see the TG3 and TG2 are other terms for Skyline, but he doesn't seem to have the version I had (Skyline 3-60 Soft). It might be discontinued. Shucks.

Thanks for the leads on Skyline. Any ideas about Gambler comparisons?

Talk to the man! He may have something in store which is not listed online, and he may have other good advice.
Really a nice guy to communicate with, even in a situation when it became clear that I would be better off shopping elsewhere.
Cole Ely's contact page may be difficult to locate on his site, so here is a link.
