China market-only rubbers?

[TensorBackhand]

I have a friend traveling to China this month, so I asked him to pick me up some rubbers. Are there some China-only rubbers that are not typically available outside? What are some good recommendations?

A lot of junk rubbers with false Ittf logo available from Taobao. Pimples treated by means of ozone oxidation. Frictionless glassy pimples by Neubauer SUPER BLOCK 70 ¥.

Yeah there are heaps. My main rubber is China only, it is the Xuperman Powerplay, I definitely recommend it. If you're just keen on trying something different, I'd recommend getting rubbers in the 100-150RMB range. Just heaps of fun stuff at little cost. E.g. RKT Hyperpower has a new AMG version.

Try out Cuifeng or Chonglan, acts like H3 Blue sponge if I'm correct. Tsunami acts like a Euro

Yes, I thought about the Powerplay. But it seems kinda expensive for a Chinese rubber ($30?). Also I read that it is very slow and dead...so I might not like it. How does it play for you?

I actually have the RKT Hyperpower, I got it for like $11 on Aliexpress and I really like it. Not sure what's different on the AMG version.

Any other 100RMB rubbers you like?

I heard Chonglan is more premium, but I don't really know these rubbers that well, I just know they exist...

Fair enough, but if you really want the rare stuff, you can go for it. My seller uses these rubbers.

Cuifeng is Pinyi, Chonglan is different brand. I don't have experience with Chonglan so can't tell. Price wise Chonglan is a bit cheaper. 88rmb for sticky and 108 for the grippy Pro version. Pinyi grippy rubbers are also more expensive around 138.

It's a lot softer than traditional topsheets. I think it's a bit nicer than the ever popular Double Fish Violant (another great 100RMB option).
Not sure, I personally didn't like the Japanese style feeling the RKT Hyperpower went for, so I won't be trying the AMG version.

Cuifeng is fun, they have two versions. One budget and one "premium". I found the topsheet too hard for my liking, kinda reminds me of the new Target National 3 topsheet.

I've heard good things about Chonglan, but apart from Gan (小甘哥) I haven't seen much of it being played at provincial level.

Yeah, this monstrosity haha

Is Volant really 100rmb?

I bought it for $11 on Aliexpress. Why would it be cheaper on Aliexpress?

what does AMG mean?

 

[Gekko]

The Chinese market pricing is actually wild. Volant can be found for 30-60RMB if you know the shop owner, or if you're buying other stuff at the same time. But Taobao + GST + shipping etc, it's about 100RMB.

Anyone has thoughts on quanshibao rubbers?
