Among the absolute worst rubbers out there. Unremarkable (but average) topsheet grip, very low rebound, very low throw angle. Literally just terrible in every way.
I am very sorry for that, but which hardness You used?
I am using a fake SGH (metal grey package, mid hard), but original SGH may be 37, 38 or 39 on chinese hardness scale, that is stamped on sponge in a rectangle with the word HARDNESS and one of the three previous reported numbers.
What about Sanwei Target Pro (please indicate hardness)?
 
Asked my friend randomly whether he has Stiga Rosewood NCT V and guess what ? He had it!!! Borrowed for a test for some brief time. There's like 1 more penhold player in my region and he plays worse than me, so no penhold blades can be found in 2000km range...so if I like that one I might order either RW5 or Intensity V Xu Xin edition

I have a few set up, because its fun to play different stuff, but when its serious I like this blade. Mizuno fortius ver. D. Very powerful, with good grip and a bounciness level I like. The bh is not as good as fh, but there is no do it all blade. Has a fat ST handle, which is great, as well. Hard to find outside of japan, but really nice.

BTY Harimoto Super ALC Chinese Penhold
FH: BTY Dignics 05 1.9mm
BH: BTY Rozena 2.1mm

but i'll be changing my FH to BTY Zyre-03 2.7mm and my BH to Dignics 05 1.9mm (some EJ itch that needed to be scratched hehe)
Have fun with the Zyre-03! Used it on a Viscaria Super ALC on my FH and really liked it, but I like it better on my BH and I miss the sticky rubbers on my FH🙂

Thanks! I have tried my friends Zyre-03 on his Harimoto Super ALC and it feels great! How's Zyre on your BH RPB specially on opening to backspin loops?
