I'm using a Joola Aruna Off blade and have this rubber on both sides. The rubber I had before was Hexer Duro and I feel that this is both faster but has better touch?? My touch and control game have dramatically improved. I think that these rubbers are a lot more forgiving of variation and spin. While I feel like I get enough spin, I think I got more out of my Hexer Duro's. I think these rubbers keep the ball on the table more and I can add more variation to my spin because of the forgiving nature. I tried the 47 and I felt that they were even faster and I wanted more spin. I am very pleased with this rubber and will most definitely be using it for a while. Also, a point I should make, I play in a German league that still uses Celluloid balls. This could be a large reason why it's not as effective. These rubbers are designed with the plastic ball in mind.

I have nothing bad to say about this blade, I love it. I have had it for about a month. I came from using an Andro Flaxonite Cruiser (All+), I found that it wasn't fast enough for me and died. I didn't want something that was too fast that I couldn't control the ball as well as lose the ability to block. As soon as I picked up this blade I could do everything I wanted. There was literally no learning curve at all. From the first hit I was landing on the table. Once I started to back away from the table I really found the blade had power when I needed it. I also found that it blocked even better than my slower blade!! I think it has a larger sweet spot than my previous blade which gives a more uniform hit. This might be the blade I use for life..... I think if I want more speed I will train my technique to get it.

I just reapplied my second set of Andro Hexer Duro rubber. I train on average of 12 to 16 hours a week. I used my first set for about 6 months and I loved every minute of it. They feel medium-soft which fits my style as I use a lot of spin, the speed is always there when I need it, but as a developing player my coach and I are focused more on control. I find that these rubbers have a wonderful balance of spin, speed and lots of control.
