Hello,

Recently I have bought penhold paddle:
blade: 729 a1
FH rubber: palio ak47 red sponge
BH rubber: palio ak47 yellow sponge

I would like to have shakehand bat as I'm not 100% sure which grip I end up with. Right now I'm about on the same level.

I was thinking about.
1. blade: DHS PG7 as i want something a little bit faster then previous blade. Or just 729 a2..
2. FH rubber: I would like to test chinese rubber. So far it's between Sanwei Target National and Yinhe Jupiter II. Can't decide.
3. BH rubber: I'm not that impressed with palio ak47 (but not dissapointed either) although I don't think I can find anything (suitable for BH) better around 15$ on alliexpress. However If i choose sanwei for FW (which is quite heavy as I remember from reviews) I'm afraid that the lightness of palio will make weird feeling.

So I guess the 1st and 2nd point is almost decided but 3rd is where I'm lost the most.

I cannot say much on Jupiter 2 because I have not tried it yet. Target National is faster than a regular hurricane 3 rubber that is not boosted. It has a lower arc and also is heavier.

Thanks yogi.

Last bump. Anyone tried both Jupiter II and Sanwei Target National ? Or maybe just Jupiter II? There are more opinions on Sanwei so something only on Jupiter II will be great too.
