DHS Skyline serie, TG2 and TG3

[Kilogramme]

Hi all,

I was curious about player review about Skyline serie. I played with TG2 a long ago (I sarted to play with tacky since then), but it might be before the Pball. I was wondering how does it plays in 2026, and if player still plays with it. I know many player are now with H3, I did play with H3, but I remember having good time with TG2. Funny enough, I only find provincial version in blue sponge (TG2 or TG3). From my reading, TG2 is spinnier than H3 more oriented for 3rd/5th ball attacker, which is my playstyle. I dropped H3 earlier in 2026, but recently I experienced an opponent playing H3, and the ball was tricky to deal with. Spinny and the ball just pop up on table rebound. Despite my Vega China Being tacky (maybe more than H3), it does not produce such a caracteristic ball. I switched back to H8-80 on my BH, and I could produced similar spinny ball that surprised my opponent. That leds me to think about going back to DHS in FH. Especially that I greatly improve my physical strength since january. And Why not the TG2 ?

I wrote TG3 also in title, if you play or played it recently, it could interest other people. So feel free to share.

I tested skyline tg2 neo last year and it was a fine rubber for me.

Can you develop please.

From experience, the TG3 is a bit higher throw and the TG2 is lower. I found the TG2 harder to kill the ball with. Also the TG3 Neo was quite sticky, similar to hurricane and the TG2 Neo was not really sticky, I've never seen a sticky commercial version of it. I tried TG2 national and that was very sticky.
They are both quite technical rubbers, you can vary the trajectory and spin quite a lot. They are intended and developed for penhold players.
I think the Xuperman Powerplay-X is probably an improved version of TG2, especially with the new ball. And many sponsored players play with it on the world tour.

It sounds like a H3N/8-80 combo would work well for you. Especially since it combines with your blade. Many DHS sponsored players use that exact combo. H3N probably has the advantage of availability. You don't want to have supply issues if you're competing.

My TG2, back then was super sticky. But liek H3, they might have reduced the tackiness.

I do know H3. And I left it, for a reason, so I was wondering about TG2. I did try the Xuperman, it felt too soft. Did not like it. Maybe I should try 39° of H3, I was playing 40°.

I started playing with a TG2 neo on my FH. It was extremely tacky and spinny, but hard as a brick. I've tried an used sheet later and found it too slow and low throw, but it might be because it was already worn, not boosted and on a stiff blade. Ma Lin used it I found that it works the best when used in the same way: 3rd ball kills or very spinny slow opening loops. In the rally it was hard to use.
Today I would definitely boost it, migth wortha try.

Tg2 neo was sticky and I only used it on the backhand. Tbh it was not very different than pf4 for me .For what I did with it it was ok, but nothing compares to Nittaku pk50 :/

I have two TG3 BS, slower and with a lower throw than H3 BS. The level of stickiness is the same - can lift the ball for 1–2 seconds. That is my spiniest rubber, but the QC is very bad - the 40 degrees version is softer than the 39...

I have a SKYLINE 2 Provincial 39° on a VICTAS FIRE FALL LC. It only has a single light layer of Haifu Yellow National.

It feels slow unless you apply enough power and speed. Because of that, it’s excellent in the short game, great for third- and fifth-ball attacks on the table, and ideal for counter-looping — I often use it to block and to slow the pace of rallies and change the opponent’s rhythm. You can generate a lot of spin, but that obviously depends on your technique.

It stays quite tacky even after several months of use. It’s very good, but if you don’t hit hard it will feel slow.

Thanks. Well all DHS rubber behave the same with 20/22 sponge. I know that. I do hit pretty hard when needed. If the ball is better on 3rd ball attack, it might be good for me'

You should grab a TG2 and try it out again to see if it fits your game. Talking about it isn’t enough — you have to feel it while you play.
