There are a few guys on Mercari selling cheap chinese rubbers online. Like this guy:

I think I will mount my sheets after the team match next wednesday.
OK. I'll replace 'sheets' with 'wife' but regarding table tennis we are on the same planet.
I just ordered a sheet of this for a laugh. Let's see how it goes. I doubt it's a bad rubber for me. At my perma mid level they rarely are. The bigger issue is trampoline tensors and Chinese rocks.

I'm not a native English speaker but a quick look in the dictionary persuaded me to use the word glue next time.

You will have to pay some customs and taxes to get the rubber into the EU, that explains some of the price difference.
Also was on Ali offer yesterday.
They do some specific offers for specific colors and thicknesses etc on given days.
I fully believe it's not because they are offloading damaged goods.
#It's real to me.

I glued my sheet yesterday (1 layer of haifu), tried it briefly, my initial impressions are, really spinny, good speed, really controlled on short touches, and really good on open ups, tried it against my teacher chops (Long pips) and I was able to hit multiple on a row with a lot of confidence.
Tried on my Fextra 7
So glad to hear this.
It’s just what I am looking for.
Mine is arriving next week.
I’ve never done boosting so will just use as is.
I’m putting it on my spare bat at first (swat carbon), but might be tempted to put it on the main one (Sanwei echo) if it goes well.
Rakza 7 on there is new so I don’t wanna waste it but I have some issues with over hitting with that rubber. Yesterday was hideous on the open ups. I’d prefer to solve the issue technically but if I fail I’ll blame the rubber and switch.

First time to glue my own rubber for several decades. Hopefully I did it OK.
Practice tonight was very good. Went all out to test its capabilities. Practiced against a good defender, a looper, short pips, multi ball. The whole lot. It’s not fast but you can get some kick out of it when necessary. Def don’t expect tensor speeds.
Not overly spin reactive despite being a tacky surface. Great on the pushes and open ups. Could lift well (tough to lift the real zingers though. Let’s see next time). Can definitely chop if you want to. I could chop even with this fleece carbon blade.
Just what I wanted really.
Hopefully not just a first time excitement thing.

Did you boost it ?

I put these on my main racket, and used about 2 weeks. I think it’s a combination of J3A’s top sheet plus M12’s sponge, and is softer than I thought.

My FH rubber is a black/hard option, it works really well for making spinny loops and fast loops. It’s not a fast rubber, but it’s enough for me. No issue on short pushes.
My BH rubber is a red/medium option, it’s soft. RPB flick and opening loop is easier than Rxton7 or 9 37. Blocking fast shot became stable as well. I feel it’s hard to produce enough speed on my BH, but I don’t punch with RPB, it’s fine.

Before this, my main rubber was Rxton9 38d+37d, Rxton 7 37d, or LAC.
The hard version feels like Rxton9 37-38d, and the medium one feels softer than 37d.
I am very satisfied with the quality for the price.
Next, I will try Rxton9 orange sponge on my FH, but I will stick with this on my BH.

Pretty similar to my experience.
I like this rubber. Will be interesting how long it lasts at this price.

The Sponge looks like the one from moon 12 rubber. It also shares the hardness scale m/h. With moon 12 m+ feels like 48° esn.
I think I'll place an order, because I like the sponge of moon 12.
Ali Express describes Moon 12 as using #12 sponge and S1 as using #13 sponge so seems to be a new sponge. Currently £6.50 a sheet! HWSPORT CHOICE STORE
