Sanwei Hyper Gear vs. Sanwei Target National for Forehand – Which One is Better?

[Furqan]

I’m considering a new rubber setup and deciding between Sanwei Hyper Gear and Sanwei Target National for my forehand. I play tournaments at an intermediate level, focusing on an offensive style with a mix of spin, speed, and control.

• Which of these two would be better for forehand?
• For backhand, would either of these work, or are there better budget-friendly alternatives?

The blade I’m considering is DHS PG5X. Would these rubbers pair well with it, or should I look at other options?

I’m on a tight budget as a student, so I’d appreciate suggestions that offer the best value. Looking forward to your recommendations!

for FH, I would recommend Double Fish Volant or Big Dipper. Arthur China is good too

Yeah, I’ve tried Big Dipper 39 on yinhe N10s Blade, but I struggled to get powerful, spinning shots—my opponent was able to counter them easily. As for the other rubbers, I haven’t tried them, but from reviews, it seems they need to be boosted.

Are there any other rubbers that don’t require boosting but still offer good spin and power? Also, what would you recommend for backhand?

Intermediate level, Gear Hyper is more suitable . It is more like Euro Rubber with less catapult, not sticky. Target National is a low throw Chinese rubber like H3. It needs more skill and arm pull to activate the hard sponge.

I really like the Gear Hyper (38) on my DHS 301 on FH!
You can watch this review on it:

(they have English subtitles), I agree pretty much with everything they say about it.

When you've played with Big Dipper and couldn't generate enough spin, you'll generate even less spin with Gear Hyper.
