I think the Qiji topsheet is quite interesting. It's sticky differently than other Chinese rubbers. The VP is pretty usually sticky. It's hard to describe. Liek the Qiji stickiness is very thin but still sticky while other Chinese rubbers have a deeper sticky feel.
I kind of wish DF would experiment more with this topsheet with VP sponge or others...
Maybe that's the reason why DF would never experiment with it, it's different than the common chinese rubbers, and players prefer things which are familiar to them.

QC sucks too with Qiji and Polestar S. It only took me a month for those two rubbers to bubble. It's pretty much incomparable to VP which is built like a tank. They must have used military-grade rubber for it.

How does Polestar play compared to Qiji and VP?

Polestar S plays like a normal chinese rubber. Livelier than Neo H3 but not by much. I prefer VP.

Which double fish rubber would you advise me to test if I like the feeling of Yinhe Jupiter 3 39" the most?
Volant Phoenix 1 40. Honestly, I like VP better than Jupiter.

Interesting. I wonder why Polestar costs more than VP. How does Polestar react to booster? I find that DF rubbers with booster are really fast.

I also kinda prefer VP to Jupiter too. Jupiter is harder and may have more power potential, VP is more forgiving, easier to spin, and also quite speedy.

I don't boost my rubber, brother. Putting your whole weight behind your shots is actually very rewarding and a good exercise. Winning or losing doesn't matter in training.

We have different taste then. Jupiter for me is lackluster compared to VP. Less spin, less forgiving, less powerful. Yinhe should have just sticked to selling blades.
