Yasaka and Donic is much used here (Portugal),as butterfly sure,but most of the teams use Donic most often,since Butterfly has raised them prices.
Since the time i start playing til today,is pretty hard find someone playing with Chinese trademarks,like DHS.The only DHS rubber i played with in my beginnings,was PF4,which i found ok,better the SuperFX (friendship),which was also pretty much used here.
I used to play between butterfly/yasaka/stiga/tibhar stuff,but since i started again,the only thing that i still own from butterfly is the batcase,1 sriver fx with 4 years old(still ok,not much used since 3 years) and was offered,and my Super-anti,which,for me,is the best anti rubber,cuz i never tried another
,and dont want to spend money trying,cuz im already satisfied with this.
Butterfly got nice quality control,no doubt,which i like and i find better then the most trademarks,but still,doesnt justify the high prices they put on them products,and in a country like mine,passing thru a thing called crisis,people avoid expensive stuff.
Nittaku also priced up many stuff,since that was a pretty famous mark at time and it was affordable.Magic Carbon was very commercialized duo the output performance and control from it.Some players at my club used it for a while,i would compare it a bit with stiga mendo,which is a great old school rubber too.
I can be tripping a bit saying all of this
,but i like to get the things to the bottom of the "bottle".
