Non factory-tuned and not tensor ESN/Japanese rubbers

[Robin0910]

Are there such rubbers that are still being used and sold nowadays other than butterfly?
Can you please name some for me?

Mizuno, Neottec

Neottec? Is it ESN? Which country is it from?

Somehow people are always able to fit Hammond Z2 in a thread. Mizuno rubbers are expensive outside Japan, costs as much as butterfly if you include shipping fees.

Victas Ventus Regular α, sold by TT11. I have a sheet in blue and another sheet in pink. I knew it would be non-tensor. A bit slow. But I like the colors and the price is $26.66 = $18.66 after bulk discount. I like the colors. I opened the blue sheet and I have not used the pink sheet yet. Good quality for the price.

Neottec Katana $20.33 = $14.23 after bulk discount from TT11. Quite bouncey on my old ALC carbon blade. I really really like it. It is my favorite non-tesnor rubber for sure. For example, for the price and performance, I would definitely pick Katana over Sriver and Mark V. By the way, just get 2.1mm or max sponge. It is not a fast rubber.

Neottec Hinomi-S and Hinomi-M are both $17.66 = $12.36. The sponge is very very soft. The top sheet is almost a bit tranluscent. I mean for the price, I would pick Katana over either Hinomi-M or Hinomi-S.

Nittaku Factive is one ESN rubber I tried that does not feel like a Tensor to me. Very stable and consistent rubber, like a modern Mark V IMO
