Hi guys,
Now my FH rubber is broken (pimples broken off after 2,5 years of use) I am looking for a good cheap (probably Chinese) alternative for a Tensor !
I was playing with an Andro Revo Fire 1,7 mm and played with a Tibhar Nimbus 2 mm also from time to time (i got this from a friend, and gave it away to somebody of my team).
In the past I have already tried some alternatives :
2,1 mm Yinhe Galaxy Sun (this was supposed to be a Chinese rubber with built in glue effect, marketed as an alternative to Tenergy 25, but i found it to be really lacking in spin, speed was also not at all special for this thickness, no good feeling of control either), conclusion : not even close to an ESN Tensor, no speed glue sound at all
Friendship 729-2 sensor 1,8 mm (this was also marketed as a Chinese rubber with built in glue effect, good spin, medium speed and sponge too hard, i would guess 47, i tried to boost it but the sponge stayed very hard, overall good rubber but not an alternative to a Tensor, no speed glue sound )
Dawei Sprungfeder A2 1,8 mm (good speed and spin, but very hard sponge and no glue effect at all, could be better with booster, but i never tried)
Palio Drunken Dragon (2,1 mm , has a GP sponge, also marketed as having a tensioned sponge, good speed and spin but again , not the Tensor feel at all)
I am thinking of trying one of the following rubbers (that are more recently developed and should have more of the Tensor feel) :
KTL Red Diamond
Giant Dragon Topenergy Soft
Gambler Outlaw
CTT National Hero
Friendship Focus 3 Snipe
Palio Hadou Biotech (or other Palio Biotech rubbers)
Xushaofa LSZ 2
Does anybody know one of these rubbers , and is there a Chinese rubber that comes close to a Tensor (i like the higher than average catapult speed and heavy spin that can be generated with a Tensor, i dont like the price of about 40€ for these ESN products !)
Greetings from Belgium !
