I ordered a sheet a week ago and cant wait testing it on my homemade Cybershape...
I would recommend 39d or 40d. 41d isnt bad, but plays closer to regular Chinese rubber.what hardness did you find the best for you?
I don't want necessarily super hard rubber. I have big dipper 38 currently on v14 pro and it is just fine, except long and high arc. If the arc was lower and everything else was the same, that would be perfect for me. Will Jupiter 3 39 do the job?I would recommend 39d or 40d. 41d isnt bad, but plays closer to regular Chinese rubber.
Certainly J3 39 is fast, very grippy, spinny, and not super hard. Compared to H3, it has a lower arc. But I'm not sure if the arc is lower or higher than BD. But in general, J3 has a slightly lower arc than H3, but higher than B2.I don't want necessarily super hard rubber.

Jupiter3 39 with a booster can, but can you handle it? Jupiter is faster than Big Dipper, but topsheet is harder and therefore it is more difficult to get strong rotation. Big dipper is softer, slower, more spin. To my taste, the Big Dipper works better on a fast blade with external carbon and koto, such as yours, than the Jupiter.I don't want necessarily super hard rubber.

I also have a homemade Cybershape. I'm currently playing this with long pimples on my backhand. If you use hard maximum rubbers, the balance is greatly shifted towards the head of the racket. This is due to the increased area and shape of the Cybershape. The racket turns out to be powerful at impact, like a hammer, but clumsy - making a banana or chiquita is very difficult. A possible solution is to use lighter and therefore softer rubber. I put the pimples on and I really like it - a lot of control, very clear ball feel not comparable to standard shaped blades. There's something in this...I ordered a sheet a week ago and cant wait testing it on my homemade Cybershape...
MichaelI had a brief moment today to test the Rakza Z. and I have to say, it is quite a bit slower than the Jupiter 3. It is also far less tacky. Seems insane to say that a $15 rubber is better than a $45 ESN rubber, but that may indeed be true.

How would you rate the Jupiter Asia 3 and Rakza Z against Big Dipper, what would be your 1,2 and 3?
in currently use Rakza Z on FH but have a new sheet of YINHE JA 3 and big dipper waiting for me to try in a few wks after our lge season is finished. I will of course try both over the summer but am interested in your thoughts regarding the move.
cheers!
Thanks dude, will have a read on that 👍Take a look here: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/best-chinese-alternatives-to-d09c-tier-list.31883/
I would put

close #2 - Big Dipper
distant 3 - Rakza Z
