These are great photos. Thanks Dan, once again. Excellent info. A picture is worth a thousand words. Funny, I just recently switched to Skyline III on my forehand not knowing that Ma Long and Ma Lin Wang were using that rubber. I thought they were using Hurricane III. Wang Hao, I think has been using it for a while. I had used Skyline about a year ago and really liked it so I decided to try it out for my forehand as something less expensive than Tenergy. It is a little hard to get used to it after Tenergy. I think, Tenergy is more versatile and has more control but it is good and I still need to get used to it. The guy who runs the club I play at in NY goes to China a few times a year and gets rubbers straight from DHS so he gets the good stuff rather than what you would get if you ordered it from a distributor. But it still needs to be boosted to stand next to Tenergy.
There is a real difference playing with a hard, tacky rubber rather than Tenergy but it is pretty decent for the forehand. Who knows, if I play with it long enough I will see if it works for me. Thanks again Dan, for the great photos.
