Reasonably priced rubbers: most of the Xiom Vega range, Fastarc series, Rakza 7 and Z. Maybe controversially, I think Butterfly rubbers are reasonably priced, in the sense that there isn't quite any other rubbers which have both the same performance + durability.

Yinhe is also good value. They have similar durability issues as a lot of ESN rubbers, but they cost 1/3rd of the price.

I'd rather buy a Dignics rubber that stays at the same performance or 6+ months and declines gradually, than to buy something at 60% of the cost which comes factory boosted and is an entirely different rubber after 2 months.

In terms of blades, Andro and Butterfly seem to be consistently good quality. Some other brands seem to have questionable QC but charge the same premium. I'd rather buy something from Yinhe or DHS at half the price (or less) than buy from some other brands.

Donic Anders Lind is made in China, i also have one ✌️

Oh I didn't knew that. I meant the cheaper Yinhe, Sanwei, Stuor etc. blades (V14 and such). I've tried a couple but they had absolutely zero feeling in comparision and nothing in return. Might have been just bad luck, but still.

What is also overpriced are "premium" premade rackets. I always die inside seeing a 60$ or even more expensive unplayable premade , especially how cheap you can get a decent beginner setup from china.

Vary Spin, Mark V and any other rubber that still existed in 1990. That's ridiculous to let them in the catalogue of the different brands, and they still cost 40€ when any 3€ AliExpress rubber has better performance.

Edit : Yasaka Mark V exists since 1969. Almost 60 years in the catalogue. How the hell can they sell it 40€? Vari Spin is from 1972... No rubber can be more over priced than those 2.
