I've started using Genesis M Max on my forehand. It's a very linear rubber, with a Chinese-like tackiness, and lots of control. Suitable for agressive and controled play. Struggling a bit from a distance, as it's quite inert (compared to other tensors), and need a good technique to generate...

The T80 is half way between the T05 and T80. Not as spinny as T05, not as fast as T80, with a throw higher than T64, and maybe just less than the T05. It is a very versatile rubber, and will serve a rounded player well. Sadly, maybe because it is so good at everything and excellent at...

The Tenergy 64 is an excellent rubber. With a high throw (but less than its T05 / T80 brothers), it is a rubber for attackers. It has a soft feel and more bounce than the T05/T80 but is still very linear. I found it to be better than T80 or T05 in damp conditions. The T64 is in theory the...

Great rubber for backhand. While it can be a bit heavy, the T05 FX has a soft sponge which gives a resulting feel around 40-41 degrees hardness. It's very spinny and has a medium throw, which results in very comfortable blocking and driving. The feel and control are very good, and the rubber...

I've played with Boost TC when I started playing TT again after a 14 year gap. I used to play with speed glued Mark V GPS, and when told the speed glue / boosting was not allowed anymore, I tried Boost TC. The feel was great, and I found this 38 degree hardness rubber to replicate the feel I...

The Stiga Clipper CR (and CR WRB) is a great blade for developing players (and more!). Lots of control, suitably fast. This blade has no weaknesses and can be used by defenders, blockers, hitters, spinners... The drawback is that it does not shine in one particular aspect. For a pure topspinner...

This blade is one of the best in the current (commercial) DHS offering. It is mostly sold with FL handle, although some CHinese websites seem to sell ST versions. It weights +/- 93 grams, so not a light blade. The blade face dimensions are also slightly bigger than most. BTY blades are...

I ply with Omega V Pro (OVP) in max on my forehand. It's a modern rubber, made for the plastic ball. It's slightly hard, but that's just what the new ball requires. I'd rate it a bit softer than T05 + old ball. It has a hint of tackiness (if you leave the bat to rest on the ball, the ball will...

Can't fault that rubber. Soft topsheet with a hard sponge, it works very well with the new plastic ball or the old celluloid one. Fast, balanced, a very linear rubber with a lot of control and an medium - high throw. This makes topspins, blocks and drives easy. I use it on my backhand and am...

Good blade for experienced players. Limba - ALC - Limba - Ayous - Limba - ALC - Limba. OFF blade (not OFF- nor OFF+), good feel for the ball, with sufficient power to put any ball away. Blade weight can vary from just over 80g to 100g or so. Shame BTY seems to have stopped producing them, but...

Softer than T05, harder than T64, it does everything in between. Blocks better than T05, slightly less sensitive to spin, with throw just a bit lower (hardly noticeable). Feels softer and is a bit bouncier than T05. A good backhand rubber. Excellent for looping and driving.

Nothing that has not been said about this rubber. Durability used to be better than other rubbers, but they have imporoved so no more advantage here. Price however is far too high. Rubber can be too hard on a hard blade in my opinion, but since it's very linear it's very controlable.
