I just noticed this rubber on sale. It's pretty cheap, but is it good?

What do these rubbers play like?

If you not going to play in tournaments that need ITTF Larc approved rubbers, then do your EJ thing and buy it and let us know.

Why is there a $9 one and $13 one?

there is?

Regular one is $9. Then the $13 says "spread". What does spread mean

That's not my shop, you need to ask the seller

 

[TensorBackhand]

Not sure, but my best guess is that the $9 didnt pass qc, like its slightly harder or softer.

And maybe it doesnt come in regular packaging.

I have a feeling haifu rubbers are just generic Rubbers with some seamoon applied to the sponge.

So...i dunno, the fun part is doing the boosting on my own.

Are you sticking with tensor ESN rubber on your backhand or no?

I have experimented with CJ8000, AK-47 and Big Dipper. I am done with Chinese rubber on my backhand. It just does not work. I am not tempted at this moment.

By the way, I just put Battle II provincial blue sponge on my forehand on one of the blades. It plays eerily similar to Sanwei Target National, the one I got from Megaspin. So I think I am done EJ'ing on my forehand side. There is nothing wrong with Battle II provincial blue sponge or Sanwei Target National black sheet (I don't like STN red sheet) but I like my hurricane better.

I heard good reviews about Haifu Whale 2, but couldn't get a chance to play it. Your link is Haifu Whale 1 I expect it be similar to 729 Bloom Power

What's the difference between Whale 1 and 2? Why do you expect it to be similar to Bloom Power?

BTW, the seller replied to me. He said the $9 one is the regular rubber, and the $13 is the one boosted with Haifu oil.

So definitely I would want to do my own boosting.

I haven't played any so I don't know the differences. I expect Whale 1 to be similar to Bloom Power due to the same price, and same design, quite same name

maybe, but I like the looks of the Bloom much better

lol, I like the purple sponge of Bloom.

But Haifu is cheaper, and if it really does perform as well as Bloom, that would be a miracle.

I don't think so lol, the reason why I sticked to Battle 2 Golden for 2 years because of that purple sponge

These just arrived in the mail today. Will test them soon.

Im optimistic because Haifu seems to have strong demand in some circles.
