I used this blade with Hrrricane 8, Tenergy 05 and Acuda S1 Turbo on my forehand. Hurricane 2 and Tibhar MX-P on my backhand.
This blade id definetly and OFF blade as it supplies good speed even when performing small strokes. What makes this blade great is the fact that the high speed does not remove it's high dwell time which allows the player to open-up well off a backspin ball and loop safely over the net with lots of spin.
I would not recommend this blade for using with hard chinese rubbers such as the Hurricane series, I will explain why later. On the other hand, using slightly softer tensor rubbers like the Acuda S1 Turbo and the Tibhar MX-P is recommended by me as that is what the blade was designed for. This type of combination will supply you with the most satisfaction out of the blade as the blade allows you to spin the ball well and attack the opponent with good placement for an offensive blade.
The downside of this blade is that it has a Disgusting feeling. Yes, this blade does not feel good for most people with a fairly average level of feeling for the ball. This is why the combiantion of a hard rubber like the Hurricane 8 and a hard stiff blade like the TB ZLC is not good. You can hardly feel what you are doing and the ball can very easily fly off the end during rallies.
Another downside to this blade is that it is very reactive to incomeing spin on serves which makes service return quite difficult, especially short touches as the speed of the blade and it's stifness make it hard to stop the ball flying long.
But it's ot all doom and gloom, if you do have a good hand and you have very good feeling (like Chris Doran for example - feel free to check out his game on youtube) you will easily be able to use this blade without any difficulties. However, even players like Timo Boll himself prefer the ALC version because it supplies the player with a greater amount of feeling and less reactivity to incoming spin. I would recommend this blade for professional players or good intermediate players with a lot of feeling.
P.S. I would rate this blade a 3/4 as the performance of the blade largely depends on the player that is using it

I used this rubber in version 2.0 ( I think) on my forehand with the blade Timo Boll ZLC
The rubber is similar to the popular tibhar mx-p and I would go on to say that it is basically the same rubber with a different brand name on it. However, the feel of the rubber is slightly softer.
The rubber generates good quality spin on loops close and far away from the table. Looping from mid-distance feels very good as the rubber produces good amounts of spin while being able to hit the ball safely over the net onto the opponents side of the table. You can both use safety loops and some chaotic loops where you try to out power your opponent, this rubber can do it all. Yes, you can even chop with it from off the table!
Open-ups off a backspin ball also feel very safe and large amounts of spin can be produced with this rubber. The amount of spin does not reach chinese rubber level like the DHS Hurricane series but it has a decent level for a tensor rubber.
On a more serious note, I seriously recommend this rubber for players ranging from intermediate to proffesional levels.

I used the Hurricane 8 as aforehand rubber for 6-8 months during which it lost very little of it's tackiness - it was very durable. I started of using it on an old version of the Butterfly Timo Boll Forte (they don't sell them anymore) which was a moderately soft blade and around an OFF-. The first few weeks when I used the hurricane on this blade, it was so beautiful that I thought that I found the perfect rubber; it was extremely good for serving - thanks to it's tackiness - and open-ups off a backspin ball, as well as looping was incredible. The rubber put a lot of spin on the ball during loops, more than a tenergy, the only downside being that the power was limited. This means that if you prefer power over spin, this rubber is probably not for you.
The only thing that I left out of the equation when playing with the Hurricane was adapting my technqiue to the Chinese technique over the standard European techniques. This could have been a factor which limited the power that I was able to generate with this rubber, maybe, I don't know.
I then changed blades to a Timo Boll ZLC whilst still using the Hurricane 8, for anyone hwo doesn't know, this is a faster blade than the Timo Boll Forte which I used before and a lot harder than the other blade. One thing that I can tell from this experience is that hard blades and hard rubbers do not go together, so if you are using a hard blade DO NOT buy this rubber. The ball will spring off the bat too quick for the rubbers to spin the ball and the feeling of the bat becomes really bad.
Hope this helps, Mat
