Best short pips rubbers under $5? (with sponge)

[Newbiee]

I've never had pimple rubbers and I don't even know the models, but I want to buy one just to have fun with another bat, so tell me good options to buy on aliexpress!

Known for its good speed and control, the 802 series from Friendship is a classic choice for players looking for a budget-friendly short pips rubber.

Kmart? If you're in the US, then Walmart?
You get what you pay for, $5 is close to the price of a nice ball these days.

I think the Yinhe Uranus Pro (medium sponge max thickness or 2mm) is one of the best short pimple rubbers independent of price. Around $15 from AliExpress.
Review:

The Yinhe Pluto is no longer legal after Sep. 2024, see:

I see Dawei 388B-1 Is on LARC again and multicolor. Anyone has tried? I have the chance of buying it now on Rome on the Dawei stand, but first I want your opinions. I am enjoying Moristo 1.8, but maybe a bit less tensor will be better for me. It is not 5$ but is very cheap.

Pluto are medium pimples. Absolutely not bad though

Which of the Cheap SP would be good for chopping and pushing?

Similar to Victas Spectol S1.

No, I'm not in the US. I know, $5 is very little for a rubber. I know it won't be the best in the WORLD 😂 but I didn't ask for the best of them, I asked about the best FIVE bucks pimps rubbers! As I said, I don't play with pimples and it's only to put it on a disused bat and have fun with it sometimes... There's no reason for me to take the most expensive one.

What counts is the player who handles! 😅
