For G-1 in Rubbers
I've been playing with this rubber for almost a year and it is still nowhere near being used up... It might have lost a tiny bit of speed or spin, but heck. Most of the rubbers I've used were very used up after 6 months. This is one of the two rubbers that withstood the hardest test... The test of time.I don't think there is much point in describing this rubber characteristics because it has been done to death. It smashes rather well, it does top spin well, it blocks well... Very good all-round and it just won't die. If you are short on money. That is the rubber to get. By the this time I would have killed 4-5 sheets of Jupiter 2, but this still is alive.
The rubber is truly amazing. It is very spiny and very fast. Provides a reasonably good feedback. Blocking is quite hard with it. Hard-ish to keep the ball on the table with BH using this rubber. I think it would make a great FH rubber. After 3-4 months of training rubber lost it's umpf.
Pros
  • light
  • durable
  • nice grip
Cons
  • bad for my knees
  • too wide
Nice quality, durable, good grip it is all about this model. Also one of the few having big sizes (which was deciding factor for me). However I prefer heel part being higher (maybe I need a little bit more cushioning there too), this model is too flat for me. Also I felt that there is too much room inside this shoe for my feet (more up, than wide). Also my knees started to ache after about 4-5 month in these shoes. Solved all of that using custom orthopedic insoles which took that additional room, made my heel higher

  • Great Spin

  • Great topsheet
Cons
  • speed
The HP is a really great Rubber, because of its super grippy topsheet. Its good for serve return due to the lively topsheet and it has a great control and accuracy because of the open-pored sponge.The HP has an impressive durability, which is why I would highly recommend this rubber for intermediate and advanced players who dont want to spend much money in a short time. The sponge thickness is generally good and the sponge quality is really well done by andro because its in contrast to the R series much more controlable and accurate, but here comes the problem, slower. This is the only problem but if you have a good impulse and arm movement you will get used to it.All in all the rubber is really well done and I highly recommend it because of its price- performance ratio.

Excellent blade.For a while,I had been using a 5 ply all wood blade which was fantastic in the short game, but in making the transition to the LGY ALC ,there was little or no adjustment needed.It is a soft blade, but when you open up and play fuller strokes,the speed and quality of the shots is fantastic.I considered quite a few options before finally deciding on this one and I can honestly say its a good buy.Without being too cliche , you do get the best of both worlds here,nice soft touch for control play but as much speed as most people would need when you attack.I highly recommend it.

My brother has this blade with the exact same rubbers as me. It feels faster on the forehand definitely as it feels like a lot heavier blade. It might be just that it has more weight in the head of the blade but I have to say it feels like a tank in your hand. Definitely not as fast on the BH for me as it is heavy and hard to get the racket speed in the shorter movement.

17yo, Chinese penholder, inspiration on Xu Xin style. I practice 3x week for 4h30min and 3x week for 2h30, physical training 2x week. Saying this for you understand the people who reviewing this rubber. Using this about 2 months on FH on a Hurricane HAO, 5ply all wood, very thin and flexible. I will talk about the general first, then some specific points.About hardness:I believe versions 40 and 41 compare to the hardness of the Gewo Nexxus EL PRO 53 Hard. But the 39deg version is practically a 50deg on the European scale, if I compare my Skyline with my GoldArc 8 50deg, it has the same hardness.About speed: this is definitely not slow, or super slow, it just doesn't "jump" like European rubbers. It's not bouncy, it doesn't have its own speed and mechanics like most tensioned rubbers. But that's not exactly a problem, go ahead.So let's talk about this rubber.The most important part here is learning to spin the ball by brushing it, not hitting it, you can spin the ball simply by hitting it with European rubbers, not with this one.Be aware that if you're looking at this rubber, you're going to need to focus a lot on learning how to brush the ball. And now comes the part that I put as con and as pro. It depends on your own strength, that means it doesn't have a strength limit, if you spin correctly according to the force you put in, the ball goes in, and why spin correctly? Because if you hit hard without spinning it will certainly be a flat hit and the ball will go out. That's the pro, the rubber really converts your power and the ball can go really strong.But what's the con? Remember I said that rubber isn't super slow? So, now is where that comes in. If you don't put your strength but put spin on it, it will go relatively well with good positioning, it won't go strong or fast, but it will go relatively well. And you start to settle for that, with a "mushy" ball. It goes linear, it goes with a lot of spin, it doesn't go slow, but it's not fast and it's not strong, it's just another ball on the table.And well, to have a strong ball, you need to give your 100% all the time. If you give less than that, she will be much weaker. You MUST have good footwork, you MUST have good weight transfer. And you need GOOD technique, you need to know the right time to do a smaller movement using more forearm and you need to know the right time to do a full stroke using more shoulder and triceps using less forearm snap. And for counters, you MUST do strenght to COUNTER, actually COUNTER THE BALL.Watch a lot of Chinese technique videos, when you go practice, try to practice with a coach as much as possible and focus on your footwork and leg and hip strength. My forehand really jumped after I started using this rubber, I'm not the one saying that, but everyone around me told me that my forehand is actually much stronger and I'm playing much better. Good luck :)

Pros
  • p2p ratio
  • superb ball feel
  • big head size
Cons
  • quality control
  • passive block
Hands down one of if not the best looping blade in terms of price to performance ratio. The standout attribute I feel right away when using this blade for the first time is the superb feeling of the ball and excellent controls, both with FH and BH. An innerforce-ALC type blade with Koto outer, it is medium stiff on the top ply but you don't get any of that when driving... I reckon it's proper when said to be HL5's little brother with only 1/3 of its price. If you come from an outer carbon blade, be aware that the speed will seem a bit 'shackled'... whilst the manufacturer rated it as an OFF++ blade, I really think its at most an OFF-/OFF blade (I reckon the OFF++ rating is when you activate its top gear due to its power linearity, aka swinging full stroke + activate the carbon inside).That being said, imparting spins are crazy easy with this blade - I used a hard Chinese rubber on FH (unboosted at that time, stupid me lol) and people are finding the spins too immense to block... But, blocking is not as easy- you need to be active, at least impart a short stroke in the block otherwise most of the balls will just get to the net no matter how fast it comes at you. However, for counter-looping, loop-killing, this blade is a beast. Backspin multiball training is a breeze for me due to its medium-flex and sufficient dwell time.Average weight of the blade should be around 89+- 3 grams, mine is 94g but feels relatively fast and lightweight. Thickness is 5.9mm. Looks ideal quantitatively.Comes in a nice silver box, wrapped in plastic (blade face is PLAIN, the 301 text writing is on the plastic! lol)Please do yourselves a favor, SEAL this blade (and any other blades you use really) before first time use because the top ply gives you the feeling that it can splinter a lot when regluing.(Have to admit, DHS's QC is not near 'top' brands like Butterfly, even Yasaka is a lot better imo).This is a blade I will heartily recommend to beginners (who already know the basics of TT), and intermediate players who are developing techniques as they go up the ranks. People who are physically strong-armed can also benefit from the control factor of this blade (due to its innerforce structure). I suggest to couple this with a Chinese/tacky FH rubber and a Euro tensor BH rubber, a versatile combo.

I play this on a Waldner Senso Carbon blade in red, max. A bit more linear than a Tibhar MX-P. A great Off to allround play rubber. Good spin but not monster spin. But overall a totally good rubber for amateur players with a clear controlled feedback. I think its a rubber you cant do wrong to try. Too fast for a beginner player though!

Hello here is my first review for MX-S rubbers , got two sheets of them with maximum 2.1 mm sponge attached them on my old stratus powerwood blade, considering that i upgrades from softer rubbers ( andro rasant bh, dhs hurricane 8 mid-hard) first of all, after the first hold and first few balls i found that the blade is really heavier than before, stratus PW notorious for head heavy, and also mx-s are one of the heaviest! giving the whole combo good power when playing with good technique and fast full movement, the main problem till now is that i am not finding myself well yet, i dont have the same control as before for BH, MX-S is not forgiving at all, u should play very good technique to get sth from this rubber, till now i can't generate that enormous spin that i heard about, the spin i generate is good , almost like the one with DHS or fastarc G-1 , but it is harder to obtain that amount, i didn't find mx-s as very fast rubber, it is just speed enough when u play good technique, if you play passively this rubber is almost dead, noting that i am using all-wood 5 plies blade.. the best thing so far with this rubber is the serve recieve and small touches.. it's so controllable with good feeling to place the ball in desired spot while keeping it short.. i played for 4 sessions till know, the rubber needs to be cleaned to maintain its grip quality, i think i need to develop my physical skills to fit this rubber more.. and hope i will decode its secrets with more training sessions.

Mostly use it for outdoor fun. The touch of this blade is great, easy to use for short games. But it lacks power when I'm away from the table, but more possibly it's me not the blade:) In general a great and classic one.

I don't understand that so many players still think this is a super fast blade. That is really weird. Speedwise I would put it in the (lower) off range. It's first and foremost a blade that supports a close to the table/mid distance topspin game. It was made for that. It has a woody, natural feeling to it,. The carbon only kicks in when you hit hard or when you block powerful shots from your opponents. This blade is very balanced indeed. I would recommend it to anyone who loves 5-ply allwood blades but looks for something that is more stable in blocking and counter spinning (especially with the 40+ plastic ball). The only down side is the price, apart from that, it's a really good blade.

Pros
  • good feeling
  • not too fast
  • good for attack
Plays very similar to T05. A little less spin but also less spin sensitive because of it. Has a softer feel however.

Pros
  • Price
bought in a promotion of joola. It came with a net and a box of balls. It was the best thing I did, I can train like no opponent can, especially topspin against defensive players. The Underspin that the robot can achieve is superior to any human being. The materials used are plastic, but I really appreciate it. it is a very light robot and fits anywhere. It looks fragile but in reality it is a battle tank. It stays in the trunk of my car and it has never broken down, believe me it jumps a lot in the trunk hahahahaha. It's just right to shoot the balls and no deviations. In addition to training, you can compare material from table tennis, blades and rubbers. The capacity of balls a can be changed if we stick a plastic around the part that is up ;) When placing the balls we have to be careful not to enter directly into the place where the balls are thrown, it can get stuck, just turn the wheel a little bit which controls the entry of the balls. Nothing a person doesn't get used to. I recommend this robot to anyone who wants to spend a little money. I'm not going to mention that it oscillates, that it has a remote control, etc. because that's in the product description!
