Two, it doesn't mention anything negative about the new rubber.
I actually think this is a great piece of information. I think it is also accurate. Knowing Dan a little, I know he is a positive kind of guy. So it does not surprise me. But you can take any rubber, Tenergy, for example and examine what it is not good at as well. For instance, Tenergy 05 is not so great for chopping.
Tenergy 05 is decent for serving and pushing, but there are loads of rubbers that are a lot better for these things.
Knowing what a rubber does well AND what it does not do as well would be quite helpful in an unbiased review.
That being said, I do think Dan was trying to review these rubbers and say what they do well and show what they do well.
So, the review could say something like, you can generate pretty decent spin with the Medium rubber, but there are other rubbers which do generate more spin without having to make a real comparison to any other specific rubber. My guess is that these rubbers are also acceptable for pushing but, because they have a sponge that is on the bouncy side, they might not be as good for pushing as many other rubbers that are not as offensive. In fact, in the video, as Dan is saying they are good for short game, you can see, when he pushes, that, on many of his pushes, the ball bounces up off his rubber instead of touching forward which shows they are actually not so great for pushing.
A player who is used to the rubber might be able to push very effectively with a speed glue effect offensive rubber, but it still would be useful to know if these rubbers do not do this so well in comparison to, say, a good tacky rubber that has a sort of dead an non bouncy sponge.
Even between the three: Which one is worst at looping underpin? From the video, it looks like the hard one is.
The things that these rubbers do not do well in comparison to each other, may be hinted at by the fact that the positives are emphasized. Therefore, the things that each rubber does not do well is not emphasized.
So Dan says he gets good topspin from the hard rubber, but then he says he gets better topspin from the medium rubber.
The hard rubber does not topspin as well.
Dan says the soft rubber has a great sound and gets loads of spin and is good for big swings and play away from the table. The subtext is, IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE MEDIUM RUBBER, AT MID DISTANCE OR CLOSE TO THE TABLE.
For the backhand the hard rubber is good for hitting hard and flat. It is "good" for spin, but, not as good as the other two. In other words, the hard version is not so good at spinning for the backhand.
So, all this is in the video. But, it is true, it is worth saying things as they are. It is okay to say, hey the hard version has acceptable topspin but it is the worst one for generating heavy topspin. The soft one is good for far from the table but it is not good at close to the table. The hard one is good for flat hitting, but the medium one is still better because you can smack the ball but you can also get better variations on spin.
So, I think this point by Lorre is an excellent one and well worth looking at.
