It seems like DHS recently released this new rubber Skyline TG2 Provincial B/S to the mass market.

I came across this article and was able to find some vendors on jd.com selling this rubber for 248 CNY. They are available in black only and is offered in 2.1 and 2.2 thickness with 39 or 40 degree hardness.
I was wondering if anyone got a hold of this rubber and played with it. In the article it does mention that DHS in the past had typically withheld a lot of sponges used by the professional Chinese players with the exception of Hurricane Provincial and National series. It also mentions that TG had been on a downward trend since 40+ balls and many people have shifted to Hurricane. This seems like a new TG rubber release in a long time and I'm somewhat curious as to how it plays. I realize there have been "national" version of TG for quite some time and prott.vip seems to be selling it as well, although I've never tried any of those.
The article does talk a bit about the characteristics of the rubber, like how it isn't as tacky as Hurricane rubbers and it is easier to penetrate into the sponge. I think TG rubbers have always been like this and I wonder how this new one compares with a lot of the hybrid rubbers offered by other manufactures (Hybrid K1, Golden Tango, Shining Dragon, Genesis, and etc.)
