I could not resist... 2 more cheap rubbers:

Sueke Phantom Attack II green sponge, black surface, 40 degrees, measured 52 shore O. 66.5g uncut, without foil. Topsheet has the same thickness and pips dimensions as H3 OS, it is softer, but not like TDE. The stickiness is low - can hold the ball for 2-3 seconds. The sponge is factory boosted and has a strong "729" smell, that is mostly gone after a month. There is a hint of tensor effect, let's say, similar to 2 layer boosted H3 38 OS. The throw is between OS and BS, closer to BS. Speed is below boosted H3 OS and 739 Broken Boundaries. There is no indication of surface oxidation, but some marks appear after 6 hours of play, so I don't expect to have the durability of H3 and B3. The rubber plays well allround stile on FH and BH. Short game and chopping are quite controllable and easy. Openings are slow and spiny. Blocks lack control. The spin is easy to access, but the maximum level is lower than H3. It can be a cheap H3 OS alternative, especially for defensive purposes.

729 Hunyuan black sponge, black surface, mid-hard, measured 52 degrees shore O. Same topsheet and sponge feel as 729 BB (Broken Boundaries). Rare horizontal pips orientation, low weight, 62g uncut. IMO, it is the same rubber with a different sponge color. Currently, at €10 is easily the best price/performance rubber.

For sure Pinyi Cuifeng has more potential than Quanshibao F1 or rxton7, more spin, more snappy topsheet and it is indeed more difficult to use. Especially difficult to use in a small venue and in outer carbon blade. I noticed this in China too. In bigger venues it felt great on xiom azx pro, big in small venue it felt hard.

Am I the only one that observed a drop in the spin capabilities of B3 / B3 Purple in the hot Summer? Under the same conditions, H3 BS remains spiny as before, or even more. Dragging the ball along B3 surface feels oily and slippery. B3 is next to new and cleaned only with water. Same story with 729 BB...

Hot & humidity affects a lot sticky Chinese rubbers.
