Tried them on Andro Inizio OFF blade (wanted to build a economic racket for my brother).

In my normal combo i am using bty rozena and xiom vega euro df, compared to that this rubber has more direct tracectory, good spin and adequate speed.

One of the weird things I encountered is I ordered both of the rubbers in soft hardness but black one is a touch softer compared to the red rubber, I guess different batch.

If you're in a search for affordable equipment i really recommend this as a contestant.

Playing for 6 months now and for the first time I tried a rubber that can lift the ball. So nice feeling to play with! I have tried a few different european and hybrid rubbers, but Mercury 2 in black and soft sponge seems like a perfect fit on my forehand. I can push, chop and above all top-side-spin the ball wonderfully with it. I wish it came with a thinner sponge, that way I could recommend it for every beginner regardless of age. Still - this rubber should probably be on every beginners bat!

The wood is one of my favorites. It has a direct and harder touch, but a softer feel due to the gluing. The ball contact time is very high. It plays quite close to a solid blade for a carbon blade, but much stiffer and with less vibration.

I tried the commercil version a while back and it had been my fav rubber at the time. I am currently using the provincial version. It is a really good rubber to learn with. Helps you rely on your body for power instead of relying on the rubber for power which is a bad thing to do. It might not be easy for players who use esn rubber to use this rubber.

Honestly one of the better forehand rubbers I've used, it's very forgiving if compared to the likes of the Hurricane 3 Neo. I have also used this for my BH, but it hindered my development, so I switched to a Vega Korea instead. Anyways, it's bouncy and grippy nature means that it doesn't require strong and firm strokes, a simple push or pull helps get the job done, often done well too. FH was effortless, in fact was more preferred by other people I've lent the racket to. Tested and used on a 729 Blue 7. Mine did chip after only 2 months of use, so be aware!

Great rubber, comparing this to a Provincial Blue Version and a Bluefire M1, all unboosted. Plays really well, could hold the ball, good dwell time, and were quite hard for my opponent to deal with. Loops and powerloops were fairly fatal at first, but started to degrade a little after months of use, still very strong though. Tackier than the H3N BS, but falls short in every other aspect in comparison, not bad in any way though. Required more power and longer stroke than the M1, but i found the spin higher on the H3N for some reason, could be my technique. Use slow/short stroke, ball is slow. Use fast/longer stroke, ball becomes fast, faster than the M1 at 70% . Really good rubber, I used this for my beginner game.

Famous for being one of the if not the most popular rubbers for beginner and intermediate players in Asia. Affordable price plus variety of sponge hardness and many types of rubbers in the fastarc series, p-1, g-1, c-1, s-1. Good for basically everything, and easy to play with. Can be used to build the good techniques before advancing to other more pro level rubbers (tenergy and dignics, for example)

For the price point, which i purchased mine at, $37, I can't really say what is bad about it, besides that it isn't the best at the outright power in forehand, and requires some effort in the stroke. It's like a semi between tensor and tacky rubbers, needing the effort in the stroke with it being slightly tacky and spinny, in conjunction where it requires a more European style of stroke, with a high throw angle unlike traditional Chinese tacky rubbers.

Also I've found it prone to chipping, so please put edge tape, and take care of it.

Too fast but great quality

A super durable, controllable, and with great feeling, this blade is 100% worth it!

When testing this racket, I could feel the vibrations so clearly! The feeling and control is peak in this blade!

This rubber is extremely fast and good for counterhits and drives. The only part where it truly struggles in is control, but it's easily overpowered by the amount of speed you can add onto the ball!

Ok firstly with price in Hong Kong it's only around $64 USD. I know it's more expensive in other countries. Also it's a beautiful rubber that has a beautiful grippy crisp feeling when touch. Very fast, bouncy, and grippy. Honestly much better than Tenergy series except the Tenergy 05 Hard which I like the same amount. The hardness gives it a crisp feeling making up for the lack of grip. Also I'm not saying Tenergy isn't grippy, it's a great rubber! Just not really as good as Dignics. I personally like Dignics much more. Also the spin is very amazing (of course not as good as tacky rubbers like Hurricane 3), and the arc is quite high for people like you guys but I'm used to high arc rubbers because that's what I've been using since I was like 7 and now I'm 15

I currently use this rubber on my BH, and I love it. It was poor in my eyes when I used it as a beginner, but now that Ive grooved my technique more, my opinion changed. It is amazing for speed and spin, and is not too difficult to control. Blocking with this rubber is one of the best, it is not uncontrollable that it will fly off the table, but your shots will be fast and direct. However, the short game can be a bit challenging to master due to its spin sensitivity, but it is way easier than Tenergy imo. It also may feel a bit too hard for those used to Tenergy hardness rubbers. Therefore, I would not recommend this rubber to a beginner, but intermediates and above will find this rubber to be among the best for BH and even FH. I just hate that its stupid expensive.

I use the provincial blue sponge neo version for almost a year now, and I have to say that any H3 neo version is the best rubber for forehand, even the commercial version for beginners. It isnt the most forgiving rubber and has not great speed without boosting, but it will force you to have good technique, which in time and with a coach you will get. Once you have this, plus boost the rubber, you have a FH rubber with decent speed, amazing spin, amazing control, and no limit to power. It is so easy in short game too and not too sensitive to spin, making it a good rubber for beginners too imo. If you prefer European rubbers I would stay away, but anyone with a chinese style should for sure use H3 on Fh, nothing else compares.

Pretty good Chinese tacky forhand rubber.

Очень приятное ощущение дерева, контроль ударов. Просто попробуйте

this is the ball I love playing most with. bounces good, are always proper round and are also very durable. I wish they were a bit more affordable.

with all the positive reviews and my tendency towards softer rubbers I wanted to try this rubber. I put it onto my Xiom TMXi blade, black 2.0 thickness. the other rubber was Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft as I had the feeling these two might be comparable plus I played now with R7s for a while.

AsiaDF is a bit slower, not too much, but when playing side by side, it is noticeable. on the other hand, AsiaDF has quite a better feel for the ball and spin is also better. where the two separate the most is blocking. with AsiaDF it was much more controlled, easier, if you like.

the only thing that bothers me a bit at the moment is when you want to really push your opponent with long backspin pushes. the ball tends to fly off the bat, either getting a bit high, or over the table. but it has great amount of spin so if it lands on the table, it's is still tricky for smashes.

serve game is also very good, offers good precision and a lot of rotation.

still cannot coment on durability, as this was the first session played with the rubber.

I notice not many reviews of this blade so I'll add my input.

I use this blade in jpen configuration. Very comfortable blade, soft phenomenal touch as of a good hinoki. Added rakza 7 on backhand for rpb too. Heavier than normal jpen in this configuration.

I found contrary to the previous review, this blade has quite good short game.

Mid distance forehand loops and drives is where it excels. I found it very comfortable there, and very forgiving. As I hit late a low for those shots, can get quite good spin and arc.

This blade has the best backhand of the jpen bats I've used. To be fair this is my first blade with inverted rpb rubber, so may not be totally fair. Even the tpb blocks feel solid, and surprisingly fast, especially since I use tensor mid tacky fastarc g-1. Rpb feels good, tho you will need to sand down the wings a bit more for comfort.

Serve receive overall good, but I found, likely to the rubber tho, a higher throw angle compared to my previous set up.

The shortcomings of this blade is flicks. I've found that I had to totally relearn one of my signature shots, tpb Chiquita for serve receive totally, and now it feels more comfortable using epb Chiquita?! Forehand flicks are also somehow less consistent, often not passing the net.

And another shortcoming is of course issue with all jpens-the cork disintegrates over time.

Overall, this is an excellent blade, and I'll very much recommend this blade to jpen players who want rpb and hinoki feel. Another blade recommended is the Yasaka Musashi V and Darker Speed 90s. But of course there is a consideration of cost.

The Zhang Jike T5000 excels in delivering basically attacking and power. Forehand drives become very fast and just effortless, with the ball literally catapulting off the paddle. The blade's hardness and speed make it effective for forehand and backhand blocks, allowing the person to handle fast loops. So if you are a looper , blocker or driver , this blade is for you.
