i have played with this ball for some practices now and this is one of the new balls that I think I like the most. the most of the ball feels round with a good bounce and this ball feels much harder compared to other poly balls i have tried. in some way it also feels heavier when playing and i also got the impression that there is less spin in the ball but that goes in general for all the plasticballs on the market, the quality is good but some breaks a bit too easy when hitting the edge of the racket but it’s very durable compared to for example donic’s new ball that i had to change three times in one match. the nittaku 40+ is definitely a step in the right direction.

This balde is absolutely amazing for the price. I haven't tried tens of blades only a select few from yasake and nittaku. But by god this blade is so good. I use Hurricane III NEO and it compliments that rubber, like a condom in a whore house. It has great speed, control, feel, and I love the sound it gives off. Great durability I nick this blade on the table all the time it is made of steel! People complain about blocking with this blade but I feel that the blocking is great. It gives more of a low and short bounce, but I prefer that it lets me play extremely aggressive close to the table even when on defense. Honestly I have no negatives for this blade. It is definately worth a try. What do you have to lose, your not going to find many blades at a lower price.

Like many other new balls they keep disappoints me. I thought this Butterfly ball was much slower then I was expecting and I can't say that the quality satisfied me. Some were good round but many I tried felt a bit eggy, really miss the old ball.

I bought the economy Red and Black package which cost much less than buying the two seperately. But somehow I think I have bought a dud. My two sheets are totally different in character. The red is lively, shiny, tacky, soft and decent as a Chinese rubber, but the black is just the opposite in every way. It is dull, hard, no tack since new and slow. The combination of hard and no grip surface makes it very difficult to play with. Only thing that is cool is the blue sponge look. So the quality control of these super cheap rubbers was reflect on the product and made all buying down to luck.

I ordered two pairs of this rubber. The black one was 36 degrees hard and the red was 38. So this meant the red will go for forhand and the black for backhand.

Actually the rubber plays very good for this price, quite linear, there are some occasional variations. Spin is very nice, with good technique it is enormous. Speed is slow. I recommend this rubber for beginners, because this rubber needs to be swinged to actually work. But on higher level this rubber is no option.

Actually I boosted my rubbers, with a lot of oil. So when boosted speed was a bit slower than T05Fx, control was still decent, and spin was better, but still required good technique.
I tried many chinese euro style rubbers and they do have one thing in common, their sponge is not so springy as the modern ESN rubbers, so you have to alter your looping stroke a bit. Use a bit more opened angle and a bit more pushing when looping to engage the sponge harder with the ball and you wil get your fine loops.

When boosted this rubber preformes quite well and it definetly worth the price and very suitable for amateur competition level or even a for intermediate competitions.

The previous reviews are very detailed, but I would like to add some missing things.

The rubber is not or should not be labeled heavy. Actually modern attacking rubbers are nearly at the same weight, which is 0.24 grams per square milimeter in max thickness. This is totally true to Evolution MX-P, Tenergy 05, Xiom Omega IV Pro, Bluefire M1, Acuda S1 Turbo ... (actual values may vary between 0.238-0.250 g/mm2)

This rubber is a mixture of the Bluefire M2 sponge with a semi chinese topsheet like TinArc 3 (a bit softer than that). This properties give this sheet a very controlled and very linear behaviour. Tolerance for mistakes and incoming spin read is outstanding.

Boosting the rubber with oil or other stuff makes it even faster and spinnier without negative effect. The original sheet smells from some sort of belgian booster, so after a mounth I reapplied booster to restore the original size.

Durability is outstanding, no abrasions. I clean my sheet after every training and it still preformes well (90-95%) after 3 mounths (120 hours overall).

A great substitute for a DHS H3 / H3 Neo rubber.
The Xiom Vega China comes with a ESN/Tensor sponge, but pretty hard sponge.
The topsheet is pretty lively and only has a gentle tack to it (can't hold the balls for more than 3 seconds).

This is almost like a hybrid (half chinese half euro), but I will push the scale more towards Chinese for the sake of the hard sponge, which allows these benefits:
- Great service possiblities
- Great blocking possiblities

The Tensor sponges also allows a powerful forehand top spin game, from close to mid distance from the table.
The harder sponge allows a "on the bounce top spin drive" extremely deadly.

The con is the weight, as this is likely one of the heavier alternatives in the market. But if you pair it with the right blade and other rubber, the total weight can be manageable.

I recomend this to be a forehand rubber - an alternative to H3/H3 Neo.
I rank it in the range of provincial versions, and I did not tune/boost mine.
Durability went well for over 6 months of "random coaching/fun play"

Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit - The best, amazing blade with fantastic feeling! If you don't have it, buy it and you will probably never change and never regret that buy.

Faster than Acuda S2, slower than Acuda S1 Turbo, with slightly less spin than the first two. Not as good as S1T for mid-distance or away form the table play, but better for 3rd ball attack. Also it is slightly lighter. Its durability is pretty impressive.

This is pretty awesome. For a cheap cost guarantees a good product. More Power Sanwei and Dawei.

Tenergy 05 is very controllable. I like it very much. You can produce a lot of spin on the ball. It is also very durable for my rubber, mine is around maybe 2 years old.

I've been using T05 for more than 5 years on FH side and it play well with hinoki woods.
It's a perfect match, in my own opinion, suit my playing style.

A good rubbers in the market but can't compare to T05 in term of spin, speed and quality.
I used its on BH side, which suit me well. And glued it with speed glue (apply 2 layers).
Have a go since Bty rubbers so pricey these days.

Overall these shoes are very good, they offer fantastic grip and are very durable. If you are use to very light shoes these may not be for you as they are slightly heavier than some table tennis shoes but this means they give you great support and will last a long time.

This blade is really great. It is not that fast as it could be, although it is off I would say off-. Blade is more concentrated to control and spin. It is great and control does not matter which part you touch the ball. In cheaper blades you need to concentrate to hit always the middle of the blade, here there is no problem which part you hit - you still get great control. It is very soft so you Can keep the ball longer and really feel it. Great for playing middistance.
Blade is soft so you really ned to be carefull.

1. Speed.
Is fast, but not ridiculously fast.
Has good range of gear for both short play and powerful topspins.

2. Control.
Large sweetspot, much more forgiveness than most blades I've tried to play with.

3. Hardness.
In my opinion, is not very hard, and not very stiff.
Provides very good feeling, and very good for blocking. After changing from previous blade, had a feeling that you just need to put a blade in a way of ball, and blade will do the rest
For topspins, dwell time is enough for making spinny shots with enough power.

In my opinion, it is best of blades I've played with, and probably best for it's price.
I cannot really feel a difference with super-costly super-zlc blades, but difference from cheaper blades is obvious - blade is very good!

I am user of Xiom Vega Pro 2.0 on both sides of my racket.
I am pretty satisfied with rubber, it is more than enough for my play level.

1. Speed.
Freshly unpacked, rubber has pretty good speed.
After few months of playing, speed noticeably decreased (I think effect of "factory busting" ended).
Still, rubber has enough power and is playable. For me it was for better - you can work on your technique, and rubber doesn't allow you to get a powerful topspin without your own good performance.

2. Spin.
For 2.0mm, spin is adequate. With MAX sponge thickness, there should be more spin.
Comparing to other rubbers i've played with, sponge is quiet hard, and you must put more efforts to get good spin, especially on serves.

3. Control.
Rubber is controllable, especially after few months of playing. Again, I use 2.0mm version, with MAX control is lower, and will require better technique.

4. Durability.
Rubber tends to crumble if you've catched an edge of table. But not as much as some stiga rubbers.
Rubber is losing "factory busting" effect in few months.
But rubber has grip, spin and power to played for a very long time.

In my opinion, rubber is good for learning technique.
Rubber is good for it's price.
But it is not tenergy

This rubber is quite unknown and it's a pity ! It is very cheap (10$ for 2 PIECES on Eacheng) but it is very good quality for the price. I have tested many cheap rubbers (DHS, Yinhe, Friendship) and this one is my favorite. The topsheet is just a bit tacky and quite elastic. The sponge is pretty soft (for a chinese rubber) and the black rubber come with a blue sponge while the red rubber come with a orange sponge (it's like you play with a CNT's setup ! lol).
The rubber has a LOT of control and really good spin. The speed is quite slow, like All class, but you can do every shot with ease especially flicks, lifting backspin and opening loops. All other shots are good though. For the feel, the rubber is like a mix of chinese and euro rubber and is quite lively (more than all the other cheap chinese rubber I've tried).
Overall, I recommand this rubber for those who look for cheap allround rubbers with good quality and capabilities. It's the best I've tried among the "under 10$/piece" rubber.

Great blade. It has great control and feeling whilst maintaining a strong element of control. Great for looping when using Tenergy.
I would recommend for more advanced players.

i love it, but i have to change it after 2-3 months (~16 hrs trainig in a week)
