Recently tried the Palio AK47 Blue on my FH with my Sanwei 75 alc cs and it seemed to me to be too fast. I'm planning on going back to the type of tacky Chinese rubbers I used to use. The 729 Aurora suited me well. Do you guys have in mind something similar but maybe hard sponge, tacky, cheap, good control/forgiveness?

Much thanks and God bless.

Double Fish Volant and 218 Spin are great choice. Sanwei Target is good.

I've been looking at DOUBLE FISH VORTEX FC218 and it seems pretty good though there aren't a lot of reviews online. Are DHS, 729, yinhe any good?
Like I said, FC218 is really good.
DHS is used by all the top players, so yeah it is good.
729 is hit or miss.
Yinhe Jupiter 3 and Big Dipper are very good.

Cs?Fh? 729 Battle 2!! provincial blue sponge, or national. 40° if you can. Control, low throw angle, great spin, tacky but not WOW!!! you can also boost and becomes a bit faster. Lasts a good time, they're 19-25u$s on ali.
