difference between big dipper and jupiter 3?

testing out cheap rubbers on ali

Both excellent. Jupiter 3 is tackier, more Chinese feeling but fast.

BD is less tacky, also fast, and more tensor feeling

That is a very accurate description, @TensorBackhand!

I am playing with Jup 3, 39 degrees on FH and I've found it to have a much lower throw than tensor like rubbers. It's quite linear, quite tacky - goes very well with Yinhe v14 pro in my opinion.

I've used BD and JP3. I stuck with JP3. Love the rubber, and for 9-13$ you can change it as soon as the tackiness wears off.

the J3 you guys are using is asia or tour?

For J3 Tour users, which rubber rubber would you compare it to?

This exactally. If you are coming from European (hybrid) rubbers, BD will feel more at home. At lower hardness J3 felt like it had the handbrake on when going for a big hit, whereas with BD you feel a little acceleration when going for a big hit.

Small bit of advice, don't go too soft when trying out rubbers like I did, especially for your forehand. You can simply feel that Chines rubbers with lower than 39 hardness aren't meant to go on the forehand.

Regular J3 has very low throw, so I only recommend using it on blades that create naturally high arc, even then powerlooping requires care to not hit the net or outta the table.
Not relevant to your question but might be helpful and it's fresh off my mind:
Comparing J3 39 (not boosted) to H3 neo blue provincial 39 (1 very very thin layer of seamoon yellow booster), I would say J3 has maybe 5% more speed, 5% less spin. On very high speed, hard loops and smashes, I think J3 might actually be more lethal. But for everything else like push, serve, receive... I prefer H3.

I think very low throw is exaggerating.

All the times ive used J3, i really never noticed the throw. Maybe its slightly lower.

But not as low as B2.
