Looking for Cheap Forehand Rubbers (Tacky) that doesnt need booster

[zzabz]

Hello! Im currently using a Hurricane 3 National Orange Sponge (boosted) but im trying to look for alternatives right now as it is somewhat a hastle to boost from time to time and it is costly especially that I do train a lot. I’ve been digging thru reviews and 729 Bloom Power does seem convincing. What are your thoughts guys please do suggest rubbers 🙏

Loki Arthur China is great

I tried LAC, yes it was tacky and I liked the travel of the ball but for some reason I dont like the feeling

 

[piligrim]

Jupiter 3

 

[nicedream]

Hurricane 8-80.

Hurricane 8-80, 729 Dragon F Hard, 729 Battle 3 (B3 is very close to H3 in terms of spin and trajectory but has a softer topsheet)

Dingtian blue sponge is the only FH rubber I like to play un-boosted.
LAC needs boosting and Rxton 9 needs even more muscle. 😁

Definitely Jupiter 3 and Bloom Power. Rxton pink/blue or LAC.

LOKI GTX, DHS Skyline 6-60, DHS Hurricane 5-50. Slower than these rubbers is DHS Hurricane 3 Neo 37shore.

Jupiter 3 or rxton 9

You mean skyline 3-60 and hurricane 3-50?

I know some people in the thread do not like Sanwei Target National. I don't know why. It is tacky. It has low throw. It's blue sponge is not as lively as DHS' blue sponge but close enough.

I have two paddles, same blade. One has Sanwei Target National on the FH and Rozena on the BH (double inverted) that I pull out to play against pips players. The other blade has DHS provincial blue sponge 39 degree on the FH and Spinfire on the BH that I use to play against double inverted players.

I go back and forth between those two blades without a problem. My forehand feels fine with both blades/rubbers.

Man, I gotta get my hand on a sheet of N80 someday.

How does it compare to LAC?

Unboosted, not as fast as LAC, N80 is a tad faster than H3, not a lot.

Hi,

Yeah, actually I dunno why this rubber seems to be "forgotten". Does Yinhe even make it anymore? But when I tried it, it was very very good. But its also very similar to Jupiter 3...

Unboosted, not as fast as LAC, N80 is a tad faster than H3, not a lot.

Thanks, I imagine it is far closer to unboosted H3 than to LAC. did it have a strong reaction to booster? Once it's boosted, is it faster than LAC?

See the reason I never got N80 is that it seemed pretty much the same as Rxton 5. So I figure if I have to boost it anyway, might as well just get 2 sheets of Rxton 5.

All H3 are no longer tacky. Even less tacky than my D09C.
