To me, it feels just about as fast as possible while maintaining feel and flex

So all indication is that this is not the same rubber as lac? Maybe just the topsheet is same?

After boosting, the Gears 2.0 is still very low rebound and unimpressive. The Kirin 1 is way better for a cheaper price. Gears 2.0 may be the most pathetic rubber that I have ever seen, I don't know why it employs such fancy marketing. It really is just like the most basic beginner's rubber...

I tried all 3, lemuria was by far the best one. I think it can hit all shots well: serves, flicks, etc. It does have a big head though, so i feel it favors deep shots

That's crazy. That does not sound like a good rubber. How is the rebound?

Honestly I love this Lemuria Long 5 blade so much. Today I tested the blade against my friend's DHS Wang Chuqing Long 5, and the Xiom TMXI. The feeling and performance of the Lemuria is great. It kinda sits in between the DHS and the XIOM. The DHS has the most dampened feeling, like a shock...

wait what? 40 ESN? that is like Rakza 7 soft. you can't be serious, right

You seem like you know a lot of players. You don't have a youtube channel that posts match videos of lots of local players do you?

Hehe, I just know he calls the rubber "trouble maker". I didn't check what actual rubber it is. But I think it might have been a Dr Neubauer?

haha. I watched the video, but it seems like Anti behaves pretty similarly to LP. It's just giving that "reversal" spin every time.

Wow. Where can you get the pro d05?

How complicated. He likes to refer to his bh rubber as "trouble maker". At first i thought that was the name of the rubber. But i think he just enjoys the ide of the opponent being confused by the rubber

For the very first time in my life, I played a antispin player, and he just happens to be 2150 USATT and the best non-coach guy in our club. I actually did fairly well and got 2-3 against him. One of the games that I won I dominated 11-1. I had 2 things that worked in my favor: 1) I had a fair...

Can you link to where you bought it?

I tried out the Gears Hyper as well. I have heard really good things about this rubber, but I don't really see it so far. Unboosted, it is a slowish grippy rubber. The topsheet is non-tacky, very similar to Moon 12. But the rebound is night and day. Moon 12 has a nice medium-high rebound, Gears...

Honestly its really good too

Today I tested out my Pro 01. I think in general it is quite similar to Butterfly Koto-ALC blades. Wouldn't say it is worse or better. But after playing with it, I feel it's pretty safe to say that this style of blade just isn't for me. The feeling isn't as good as my inner fibre blades. I...

Today I tried out the DF 218 and the Sanwei Gears 2.0 The DF 218 is legitimately a very good rubber. It's basically a boosted, fast, high-rebound Chinese tacky rubber. It's very similar to DF Volant. In fact I really didn't see much difference either way. Both have great spin, great control...

I'm just curious, I see that many long pip choppers use H3 on their FH side. Do they usually boost their FH side? Or do they prefer to lower speed of unboosted rubber for chopping?

Unboosted would definitely be AK47 red. Boosted would be Aurora Max
