Friendship/729 Focus 3 Snipe

This rubber is super cheap, has a soft and very light sponge and a completely non-tacky but grippy topsheet. I was recommended it for learning RPB, and I do think this is a sublime beginners rubber for BH. It is soft, so high spin can easily be made with a softer stroke and increases the dwell and feeling on the ball.But this rubber isn't slow, so you can finish points with it. It's very difficult to serve and play short with this rubber as the sponge is engaged easily and the completely non-tacky topsheet doesn't hug the ball. I wouldn't recommend this FH. get a tacky/hard or Euro/med instead.

European-style Chinese rubbers. Very affordable glue effect rubbers easily available off ebay. Plays very well on the BH if you a wristy technique, also good for static blocks. Those who use a European technique on the FH will need to incorporate more wrist and probably a more closed racket to get the most out of this rubber on the FH. Shots also require decent effort, these rubbers work if you do. This rubbers strength I think is the performance to price ratio. Needless to say I don't think this will suit advanced players who are used to expensive European rubbers but for the intermediate player who cannot afford them these are suitable. Most effective at mid-distance from the table, still trying to adapt it to near table play.
