Pros
  • Versatile
  • Very spinny
Cons
  • Price
Softer than T05, harder than T64, it does everything in between.

Blocks better than T05, slightly less sensitive to spin, with throw just a bit lower (hardly noticeable). Feels softer and is a bit bouncier than T05.
A good backhand rubber.

Excellent for looping and driving.

  • Can be too hard
Nothing that has not been said about this rubber.
Durability used to be better than other rubbers, but they have imporoved so no more advantage here. Price however is far too high.
Rubber can be too hard on a hard blade in my opinion, but since it's very linear it's very controlable.

"Turbo"? not a high speed rubber but good enough for FH and BH rubber. Control is excellent.

Changed from Kong Linghui Special. This blade can handle play close and away from the table. Great for spinny loops and has more than enough power for put away shots. Dwell time is good for service and short play. This blade is made for tenergy but it can also go with other medium-hard rubbers.

Pros
  • Many different gears
  • Service and receives
  • Dwell
Cons
  • Top ply splinters easily
  • Blades vary in feeling and weight
serves: Paired with good rubbers you can easily get a lot of spin onto the ball. Short serves are very easy as the blade is not too fast. Even serves that require better timing like the reverse pendulum are easier due to the long dwell time.

receives: Just as expected from an allwood blade,the infinity performs very well in the short game. The dwell time and the good feeling of the wood help play short pushes as well as flips with forehand and backhand. Pushes and any kinds of crazy receives are easier with this blade.

open ups: The dwell time really helps on playing heavy spin topspins. You have a lot of time to generate spin and go for a good placement on the table.
topspin: The follow up topspin also works perfectly fine.

Speed: The general speed is not as high as let's say a viscaria's, but still fast. If you are physically fit, you'll have no problem blasting the ball past your opponent after opening up with heavy spin.

countertopspin: Countertopspins also work well, but require proper technique and timing.

conclusion: The infinity is a very good allwood blade that really has no weakness. You can open up with a lot of spin and follow up with a well played loop and then a kill shot. Especially for forehand oriented players this blade is fitting. Backhands are easier to play because of the increased dwell that gives the blade more control. If you're looking for an offensive blade that can play all gears ranging from slow and spinny to fast, then this is your blade. If you're using a carbon blade but struggle with service receive, then this blade is for you. If you have enough physical strength but your receive game or open ups are slacking, then switch to this blade.

Hi .... Now it is about one month I have been playing with this rubber. Initially i was confused from the throw angle on my FH so i played with it on BH ..where it is just perfect. But now i get used to it also on my FH and it is great for Power loops and Spin .. On push game it is very spiny but also a little bit more sensitive to incoming spin ... but you can easily master the incoming spin after a while. And what is the best about this Rubber is the sound ... I like it when you just hit it with power ... wow. Of course the serves are just really hard to return ... lot of spin.

Ok after a while of playing with this rubber (i have tried off+ and all blades with it)i love it for the backhand .. the flicks are just unstoppable ,very High speed can be produced only from a fast wrist movement .... But touch play is a little bit harder with it .Short to net is ok but the transition to back line is hard to get in hand .. the sponge is really reactive and need to practice to get the good feeling for this.

Just great rubber...

Only think is the durability, after a month of playing I can already see my finger movements on bottom of the rubber, so im really afraid how long it will last.
Ok after four months of playing (4 times per week, 1.5 hour practice) the top sheet is ok .... (i clean it with tap water at the end of the day ) only the finger parts is absolutely destroyed . (maybe the salt from fingers ? but my DHS NEO H3 has no issues at all so i do not now) .
Robert.

ps.: i bought it for 33 Euro from internet store.

Pros
  • Control!
  • Speed and Spin!
  • Dark Pinch
Cons
  • Price?
This is the first racket I was truly content with to a Perfect degree! (C-Pen version) First off the dark pinch is perfect and really nice. (In contrast to the very light pinched Silver line Carbon). Secondly - It has very little vibrations, the little vibration the blade has is comfortable in my hand.
The blades structure itself is: koto - ayous (horizontal) - fiberglass - ayous (horizontal) - koto. Whereby the Fiber glass core is probably the source of the nice dark pinch.
The blade is pretty hard (Not TOO hard, just medium hard!) yet VERY controlled and much more loopable than you'd think (which also means it's great for spin!) with that hardness. I sealed the blade as well, which also give the whole blade a dark nicer colour with a darker blue handle that now matches the blue sponge of the bluefire. (although that's not the main point of sealing). It's said sealing the blade differs the hardness, which is probably correct but to a VERY small degree, but I would personally recommend sealing it, as it also makes it more durable!

It has as far as I'm concerned a big sweet spot and its speed is (as mentioned above) perfect with the amount of control it has. To put it this way I highly doubt you will get ANY blade with as much speed and still have the same amount of control. You will have to look for a while. (personally using with it with Donic Bluefire jp 01-turbo and jp-03). This blade is with that said probably optimized for medium to far distance shooting, mainly medium-far. It works good close to the table, but there are probably other blades better for close to the table (but those would obviously be worse in further away from the table!)
I prefer to step a bit back so for me it's perfect!
If I were to point out any cons with this blade, it MIGHT be the durability. I've had no major damage on it after 2-3 months use (but that's not a very long time), and it seems good so far. But I would recommend the users to "handle with care" (solely based on the feeling I get while using it) if not you should just get the DHS PG 13. (roughly same structure without the same quality control) :p
Edit:
I've had it for more than a year now, a couple bumps on the edge due some hard punche that hit the table or table edge, but it has great durability.
Extra Update:
Hurricane Hao III (With Adidas Tenzone Ultra and P7) - I call it "The Excalibur of Holy Grails".
This blade in the form of a racket, was given 3 phoenix feathers in it's center core (glass fiber) for a swagical touch and it's surface is filled with the holly african wood known as Koto. It has the extraordinary ability to expelliarmus any death ball back on the table with a under/side spin more sneaky than a Basilisk, or a top/side spin that not even Dobby would be able to handle with his Elf magic. Oh you prefer clean loop? Well that's original, try a light one first and the table might make it out with just a scratch.

Pros
  • Speed and Spin!
  • Catapult Effect!
  • Blue Sponge!
Cons
  • Rebound time?
This is my first review so bare with me, I've used this rubber for a few months now (on a hurricane Hao III - Pen) I believe it's suited better on a bit harder blades. I use it for my fore hand (black version, 2.00 mm). On close to the table I believe it's doing very good, but when flicking close to net I needed a bit time getting used to it, often flicked it a bit too low. (aka needs a nice touch on flicks)
Before I used this I had a go with Tenergy 80 (for a short while), comparing to the 80 it's more forgiving, and it's throw angle was for my preference better than the tenergy 80's (which had a bit higher throw angle.) Another thing that I find very usefull, but is the second, among the two things that might take some time to master, is the catapult/trajectory arc on harder shots, when you do a hard topspin punch you can feel the rubber bouncing it out with boosted speed. (which is the catapult efect, more speed compared to other rubbers without the so called "catapult" effect) which is imo a powerful weapon when you learn to control it, because several of my harder shots went just too far at the start, but got the hang of it after a while. Despite the speed maybe not being optimal (according to some people) I don't think you need more speed than what the catapult effect gives. Any faster would be too fast for my taste.
Aside from those two things I'd say the rubber is pretty much Perfect. And hey, the sponge is blue, fancy that?

Edit: At the time i wrote this, I meant everything I wrote, but after trying Adidas Tenzone Ultra, I'd say the rebound time in Jp-01 Turbo is a bit of a con. Read the Tenzone Ultra review for more info.

This is one of Stigas tensor-rubbers.
The sponge I play is max, the color is red. The blade I use is a Stiga hybrid wood.

Boost xt is not tacky but generates good spin. A great forhand rubber.
The speed and catapult effect is really good. Medium throw.
It's not light, but not as heavy as the chinese rubbers ive tried.

I picked this rubber to complement a DHS Skyline 2 neo that I was used to, thinking this would be a good backhand rubber but I had real trouble controling it as a backhandrubber. The catapult effect was to big for me. But as a forehand rubber, wow! As soon as I turned the blade over my game started to fall into place.
really happy with this one.

Update:
Seems to be a really nice rubber quality. Looks and feels brand new after 2 weeks and 1 hour practice a day..
As time goes I find it easier and easier to control on my forehand. Definetly a rubber I will buy again. Super happy with it.

This rubber seemed very fast when I used it, but that could be partially due to the blade that the rubbers were on. Sometimes I struggled with control when I used this rubber, but it had plenty of power and speed.

A great blade with excellent speed. The blade feels great when you hit the ball. It works excellently with Tenergy 05 rubbers. I would definitely recommend this blade to anyone who is experienced enough to control the blades high speeds. This is my definite favorite out of all the blades I've tried.

Sriver is good rubber for people starting out in table tennis, it along with Mark V were extremely popular and and are still popular now, they are both an extremely nice and easy to use rubber that will always be popular among people learning to play table tennis.

I tried this blade as my friend was using it at the club. The control is excellent. It is very lightweight and has very good feeling and well balanced. From close to the table and mid distance the you can spin the ball very well, the only problem was its lack in speed. But this could have been down to the rubbers, however it was Tenergy 05 on the forehand. I think this blade is ideal for developing strokes and improving your game from intermediate levels.

Great for Mid-far table play, since its topsheet acts more like a spring it helps when performing either counterlooping or driving far away from the table. It's great for players who value driving your way out of a rally, rather than doing full force attacks.
