Saw someone saying they used Big Dipper and got to 2200 with it, so it has plenty of power. From my experimenting with Bloom Power, it's as fast as LAC, which is faster than BD. My second LAC sheet shows zero signs of separation between the topsheet and the sponge.
AK47 Red lasted me for a couple of months and was still brand new, although I did not like it.
Really not sure if this is all based on experience or just whatever reviews you read online, because this is not accurate.
Regarding Big Dipper, Jupiter 3 and AK47, this is my personal experience. I judge Bloom Power and LAC from the reviews here and on revspin.
I played Jupiter 2 and 3 for a very long time and know this rubber very well. Jupiter helped me learn, this honest workhorse, but in counting games it doesn’t work the same way as, for example, Hurricane 3 and Loki N80. Big Dipper spins the ball well and has average speed unless makes sudden movements. Perhaps many people like this, and with a certain playing style you can achieve results, but personally I don’t like it. At one time we had a lot of defensive players playing Big Dipper, perhaps this rubber is more suitable for such players. It happened, but now I don’t see it. Defensive players need a quick forehand attack and many use fast Butterfly rubbers. According to Friendship, neither I nor the players around me had a good relationship. Friendship rubbers still inferior in quality to DHS. Perhaps I’m wrong in that without having personally played Bloom Power, I put it on a par with Big Dipper and Jupiter, but I played Battle 2 Provincial, which in my opinion is in the same category. And judging by the reviews, Bloom Power is not much different from this.
In addition, Jupiter and Bloom Power require a booster, and are therefore immediately excluded.
LAC looks like a good option, but it clearly has quality problems...
Something like this.
