Popular European rubbers of similar speed to 729 Focus 3 Snipe

ronz91 · Sep 19, 2015

Hey guys

What are popular European rubbers of similar speed to 729 Focus 3 Snipe? Possibly slightly faster.
But have similar or better spin and similar throw angle for medium to close offensive to all-round play.

Thanks

Focus 3 snipe is lighter and improved version of the original Focus 3. It uses mechanical grip (like European style rubbers), in order to provide spin. Well, I think if you really liked original Focus 3, that would definitely you like more.

Verification,

European type or manufacturer?

My research tells me that the Focus 3 Snipe is European style rubber. So I would have to say European style by a European manufacturer.

Ok.

On paper, based on online reviews,

Cornilleau Pilot Advance
Stiga Calibra Tour S
JOOLA Maxxx 450

But, I admit I have yet to test them in person.

Cornilleau Pilot Advanced: my suggestion: lie down and avoid this one. Sponge is good. Topsheet doesn't have much grab. Good for counterlooping with control or flat hitting. But not so good for looping backspin.

Same with the tour s, the top sheet is almost anti-spin

Yeah I am a looper, mostly attack backspin on my FH side though.

Any suggestions guys?

Im using adidas P7 right now, which is an awesome spin rubber for the looping game

Xiom Vega Euro I would say (Made in Germany, by a Korean brand)

Any Euro rubbers that match the 729s quality for the same price?

I don't think there is any Euro rubbers for the same price as 729/Chinese rubbers.....
You can go and search a few table tennis online stores and check for yourself - just sort it by price and acsending

If you get lucky you can find some first or second generation tensor rubbers for 20 to 25 EUR, but you still would probably get two 729s for that amount....
Another option could be lookin' in the different forums for some used (but still in good condition) rubbers.

yeah I will have to see what I can find and what the budget can manage.
