That's a good deal, domestic price is around 200 CNY so about 27 USD. Did you get it from Aliexpress?

It would be nice to have non DHS Chinese rubber breaking the glass ceiling. I think very few people would spend >20-25 dollars for a Chinese rubber that is not H3. They would rather get a ESN Hybrid or H3 provincial/national. OTOH, I don't want to get Rxton 9 is very similar to H3 because I...

unfortunately I can't afford to try out every piece of equipment I am interested in, so i have to resort to reading random reviews on the internet from strangers🥲

>90% of posts on this forum don't need to exist then🤣

good for you, everyone has different preferences 😁

Almost no one uses Double Fish blade so I don't know anything about them. For the Sword Diamond series, Fire and Wind have good reviews, I play with Forest and I like it, so I think the Mountain can be a good choice as well.

They are rarely mentioned on Chinese forums, but I've seen positive reviews about them here. Personally I never tried lemuria or stuor blades so I can't comment much about them.

if you don't want another pro 01, the Sanwei 75 seems to be a popular choice in China around the same price range.

70% is a good gear for topspin against random ball. Do finish your stroke and do spin the ball, not much point to just touch the ball back (unless that is legit part of your game). But if you cannot control the ball without going at least 70%, then you'd have a low margin of error. Basically...

So LAC didn't work for you on FH or BH, what rubbers do you usually play with and prefer?

They have also released two blades, one wooden and one with carbon.

Prioritize recovery over maximizing the quality of a single shot (still do quality shots, but tune it down slightly at the beginning). Do some random ball drills to force yourself to recover without "cheating" (guessing and move into a position before your opponent hit the ball).

For a non-tacky rubber that is relatively insensitive to incoming spin, I am very satisfied with the amount of spin I can generate with Moon 12. I am now very interested in the H-. Sounds like M+ and H- are very different.

H- and H+ came out after the M- and M+ versions. A lot of Chinese customers thought Moon 12 was quite soft even for a BH rubber. So maybe something was tweaked for the Hs in addition to the sponge hardness. My M+ plays softer than my finger test; the ball sinks into it very easily.

Agree, on my blade (inner ALC structure) my BH is landing a bit short unless I put some effort into it. Which would be great for someone with more aggressive BH. I may try H- version in the future (currently using M+).

some of them may be too hard or dead for carbon blades though (without boosting).

It was my first custom blade from more than 10 years ago. I would not recommend getting it because its price hasn't dropped much. With the current ball, it feels very hollow for me. I would rather get a blade that is designed more recently, in the 40+ Era.

Yinhe Big Dipper and Moon speed. Compare to their peers - Chinese FH/BH rubbers in similar price range ($10-15 ish) - they are close to average in sponge hardness and tackiness, nothing extreme. Good for drive and topspin, doesn't really stand out (or fall short) in any region. I don't find them...

Where are you getting your LAC and H3? LAC is cheaper both on Aliexpress and in China (PDD).

I tried both Rxton 5 and LAC unboosted, I feel LAC is a better rubber in both speed and spin. Although it doesn't feel catapult-y, just not dead. For me the biggest advantage Rxton 5 had over LAC is its weight (65g vs 70g uncut). Dingtian is a fair bit more expensive. I think it is more...
