Item details

This product, with brand-new concept, will release infinite power from the bubble sponge layer and bring you new hitting experience. It rid you off organic glue. You will get everything you wanted especially smooth grip and powerful speed when the ball hit the excellent pimpled rubber and red sponge. It is the best choice for ones who values touch feeling and offense.

After strict integration measurement, we use a lot of foam, film and finally set this rubber with punchy rotation and ultra-high speed through repeated constantly debugging. The rubber, is mainly for the loop players, its biggest feature is you can easily fight with threat of high-quality in the passive. When active attack, the viscous semi-tower-type rubber brings out stable strong rotation, high tension sponge provides a powerful forward momentum, which likes a bullet fired from the gun barrel, it is enough to breakdown the opponent’s defence and makes them a debacle.

Sponge Thickness: 2.1mm

Chinese rubber from Three Sword comes in a nice packaging. Rubber has a tipical chinese smell/odour of vulcanised rubber.
Sponge is similar to open pored, but the bigger bubbles are not so frequent and uniform. So it is like the Bluefire M series sponge with less bubbles, colour is faint red. Rubber surface is slightly tacky just like Tenergy, not like Bluefire JP series.

Just tested it for the third time. I found it very slow, so I boosted it with oil. The rubber was light, uncut (166x171) black was 56g and the red was 60g. I boosted it with oil to give it more speed, boosted the sponge (4 layers) and the rubber sheet (2 layers) too.

In several techniques I find this rubber similar to ESN type rubbers, that have great spin and control: dropshot, loop, counterhit, counterloop, chops. Opening loops are a bit wierd, often too low, when trying to lift heavy underspin balls. Overall attacking performance is quite reliable, counterattacking is very easy.

Handling weakly chopped balls and spinless balls is a bit harder than ESN rubbers, this rubber does not tolerate mistakes at these shots: drive, opening loop, service recieve. I found out, that in the lower range of speed, the incoming balls tend to climb the rubber if weak force is applied to get the ball back. In the same situation, when more force is applied and the touch is not soft, the hit becomes direct and consistent.

The pore size is a bit uneven as said before, this leads to a non-linear bite effect, when looping or hitting. Similar to Bluefire M series, but less pronounced.

If we look at the price tag it is a cheap rubber. Compared to entry level or hobby rubbers from different manufacturers, this rubber is far-far better. Boosted rubber is even comparable with high-end rubbers. I did not haves to adjust much on my game, because this rubber works.
Since it is no ITTF rubber, I would recommend it for training purposes. It can be considered an alternative to Tenergy 64 when boosted. I train with this rubber, and I will go to camp with this rubber to hit the hell out of it in multiball or 1 on 1 excerscises.
