So I posted earlier during the week about Sunnysix rubbers.
Not sure where the company is based(Korea or Japan I'd assume) but I was told from the my contact that it's made in China for sure.
Personally I find it even more interesting that it's not from the typically oligopolistic Big3 rubber manufacturers in GER/JPN.
I tried a new set of both on my new FL Infinity VPS(my previous set was on MaLong5) with DHS #15 glue but this time boosted it a
couple times for a days with my Seamoon 'potion'.
At my first few strokes, the FH rubber(Sunnysix7 aka Ss7) was super tacky. So tacky it barely reached the end of the table on my first few drives.
As I started to warm up the pace took of and felt more comfortable making more aggressive shots.
Spin was so good, on a good 2-3 shots out of 10, my coach(he used to be at national squad Chi-pen a few years back) who's used to playing against Team Butterfly, would miscalculate the level spin and would have to readjust his blocks.
In essence, the Ss7 feels like the high-tensioned H3. It give you plenty of spin with the right push without overdoing it.
FH receive was also very good and weight/regularity seems adequate and the blue sponge also add some spice to boot!
Eve more pleasant surprise came from the Sunnysix3(Ss3) on my BH. AMAZING CONTROL.
As soon as my coach realized I'd keep sending him back my flicks and drives, he shook me around with random
shots down the middle and to my FH. My drills went so well I was getting in to the 'FZD mode'.
Defensive shots were also very effective. My receives wouldn't be as sensitive to my coach's serve.
The angle was just right, my cuts will barely hover over the net making it even harder for the opponents.
We decided to move into scenario training starting off with my BH receives moving into BH flicks/drives
then finishing the point off with FH down the line.
I stuck with Ten05 rubber on my back for a long time until I switched to the Ten64 for more control trading it for less spin.
Always thought Ten64 was gonna be my BH love forever it looks like that might change soon. Right now I feel I could even
evolve my game around my BH drives and would keep practicing it this way.
As for the downsides, I can't think of too many but the Ss7 doesn't seem too light(like any other Chi-rubbers).
Not sure what the retail price is but I'd be extremely happy to see it somewhere in between the Yasaka Rakza/Calibra LT and slightly under
the Mantra level since it will have to gain more exposure and publicity.
Overall, my take on the rubber is as follows(following the TTdb guide):
- Sunnysix7(Red-FH):
Spin: Very High
Tackiness: High
Tension: High
Sponge Hardness: Mid
Weight: Mid-High
- Sunnysix3(Black-BH):
Spin: Med~High.
Tackiness: High
Tension: Med
Sponge Hardness: Med
Weight: Fairly Light
I still have to check on the durability and will keep posting as we go along with further testing and reviews!
Will post my new images soon.
Hope you enjoyed it!
