These are discontinued and have no replacement still... Many kids in my club plays with these Tronix CMD now.

Too bad, I grew to like the acc and zgr a lot.

@Matt Hetherington is this true? I've been considering buying ACC for my next FH rubber but its future unavailability makes me hesitant.

I’m working on a few things for it so I’ll have to get back to you on this

Joola not shooting themselves in the foot challenge, difficulty: impossible

Rhyzer 43, 48, Pro 45, Pro 50
Golden Tango, Golden Tango PS
Rhyzen ZGR (for being too good for its MSRP, lol?)
Now Tronix ACC and ZGR
Xylo 7, Vyzaryz Freeze, I'll give them a pass on the ZQH 90 because the sponsorship was discontinued, but can't you just release that under a different name like Xiom? Instead they just release stuff like Proline that no one plays, pure insanity. Donic kept the Desto F1 for how many years now? Just do that, literally.

What I absolutely hate about Joola. Is that they will make something decent, and then they will just say. Heck, we are no longer doing that. I found Tronix ACC + ZGR wonderful combo, and now they discontinued it. I will try XIOM now. They have a solid range they continue to produce. So if I like something I will be able to buy replacements.... The anger is boiling deep within me. Over the last 7 years I tried a fair bit of stuff. But its really hard for me to find something that is I truly truly like. But whenever I do find its discontinued XD I guess it was too good or something.

ACC is straight up one of the best price to performance BH rubber, great spin, dwell, and feel. Now it's gone again for funsies, lol. Best never to touch Joola I guess, try gewo if you can, Proton Neo 475 or Neoflexx 48

I had a chat with a local shop owner (close to Joola) and they also mentioned, that they will advice customers to look for other brands (e.g. tibhar) if the customer grew out of the rhyzen line and the dynaryz line is still to advanced. We also had a clear upgrade path for our juniors from Rhyzen Ice/Fire -> Tronix CMD/ACC. Maybe Gewo will come up with a clone soon.

XIOM does the same thing but more with blades. Bringing back the HAL was pretty much a unique move, but they have made and scrapped plenty of blade lines in their relatively short existence.

Just forewarning you against the same kind of disappointment

I only play Vodak blades these days. They have fair superior feeling than anything purchasable in store.

That was another stupid move, I guess Joola is releasing a HAL clone soon enough, better get 10 of those before they discontinue it next month

This rubber is really great. I use it on the forehand of my Nobilis blade—it grips the ball really well and has fantastic friction. It’s still available for purchase here, and I hope it never gets discontinued. I was already heartbroken when they stopped making the Golden Tango PS.

Asked joola europe for clarification, they confirmed tronix is discontinued. And new lines will be coming.

FWIW... Last 2 seasons I mostly played with H3 BS prov. and Rxton 9 on the FH... When the last season ended, I wanted to kill the remaining rubbers, so after a while I glued the STN (Sanwei Targer National H40 or H41), boosted with 2 layers. I played with it couple of times, but then I had to stop because of elbow issue... After cca 7 weeks I started playing again (this week), and I felt like I'm punishing myself with the STN... It's nicely slow like H3 and Rxton 9 in slow hits, but in hard hits it's like I can't really access it, and the throw is lower and balls go over the net out... That is not the case with H3 and R9 - these both are fine, I mean as long as the booster is not fully out... I'd even say the R9 top-sheet is both tackier and also more elastic than H3's top-sheet... So I decided to try something else and went for the Tronix ZGR... It's discontinued, so I could get it for good price... Today first training with it... It's a nice rubber, after the STN it's like huge relief, huge relief... Cut on my blade it is 4g lighter than STN, it is 53g cut, my setup is now 193g and it was 197g... It's pretty hard, as Joola says, 56 deg, and that I think is accurate... I can access it, but it maybe a bit harder than what I prefer... When I compare it with Xiom C55 it doesn't have that nice clicky sound, at least not yet... I'm curious about the durability, as you know, the C55 durability is terrible, but it is an excellent rubber... Anyway, I thought if I love Tronix ZGR, I'd buy 4 sheets so I can play the next season with it, but now I'm not sure I'll do it... For sure I'll spend this one fully, but I'm not yet sure with what FH rubber I'll play the season... It will not be the classic chinese rubber (H3 or R9) this time.
