It is a forgiving rubber, making it suitable for beginners. While it doesn’t offer insane spin or speed, its controllability and affordability make it an ideal choice for those just starting out in table tennis.

42-degree Blue Sponge
Medium tack, lowest profile of pips seen, quite wide. Played on FH of a Sanwei Fextra (6mm 7ply).

Controllable and dead in the short game, lively rebound at medium speed, excellent grip on flicks and serves. Hitting hard yields a low-throw shot that is also spinny.

Preferable to faster forehand rubbers. Can hit at max speed, sponge stores energy and loads more spin, resulting in faster shots with only marginally longer trajectories. This may not apply on a slower blade.

It was my first rubber on a preassembled racket. For beginners who are learning PP, this is a good conventional rubber. It has average speed and control, good spin, and it’s durable. It works better on stiff blades.

729 Classic is an older technology Chinese rubber. I paired it with a harder sponge to make it considerably faster. I have to attack to utilize its looping capabilities. However, it has lost some of its touch and control.

When new, it looped well due to its tackiness. But once it lost its tackiness, I had to hit it hard to make it loop effectively. It’s a very durable rubber. I maintained its tackiness by using a grip spray.

I haven’t tried this one with a thick sponge yet, as I played it for fun with a 1mm sponge. Of course, I played some defense with it, and it was awesome. Well, I’m far away from being a defender; however, I could chop on loops so that the ball almost touched the edge of the net. And yeah, it had tons of spin thanks to the tacky topsheet. I just had problems chopping slow and spinny loops because they were hard to keep low.

Anyway, I guess I will try this one tuned with a 2mm sponge or so and redo my rating.

By the way, getting this much quality for such a low price is absolutely amazing.

This rubber was too tacky and hard for me. It was very good when I was a beginner, but it held me back once I improved. The price is great for what you get.

This rubber is perfect for beginners and intermediate players. It provides good control and spin, making it easy to maneuver the ball on the table. The rubber also has a nice feel to it, giving the player confidence in their shots. Overall, a great choice for young players looking to improve their skills on the table.

Good rubber for beginners.

#9May 2023

Good for attack and defense!

#10November 2022

Excellent product. Great value for money. As always, great service and fast delivery from Tabletennis11.

#11August 2022

This rubber is great for defense. It is sticky and durable.

#12November 2021

Everything was great. Delivery and the product are as described. Thank you! :)

#13October 2021

Очень хорошая и долговечная для защитной игры.

#14September 2021

Very good rubber for beginners. Must try on soft or medium-hard blades.

#15January 2021

Not as spinny as the DHS Hurricane 3, but it has a better price.

#16April 2020

Not the quickest, nor the spinniest, but a great all-around rubber at a fantastic price.

#17October 2017

Very nice.

#18May 2017

Very good rubber.

#19February 2016

Lowest price rubber for spinners who need to change it twice in three months. Drives can be played with good control.

#20November 2015

A very good all-around rubber - not too fast or slow. An excellent rubber for perfecting your strokes.

#21October 2015

Якісні накладки за низьку ціну.

#22September 2014

Guma je odlična. Možda nekome može da bude malo spora, ali za to je veoma dobra za blok igru, kao i za spinove. Budite bez brige; nemojte da vas cijena zavara. Guma je odlična.

#23October 2024

A bit tacky, almost no tensor effect, very consistent, very durable. I’ve recently switched to penhold style, and this rubber helped me to improve my RPB quite a lot.

#24April 2024

Great rubber for beginners.

#25December 2021

Low price, good rubber recommended.

#26October 2020

It is the best rubber for such a low price.

#27October 2020

Excellent product.

#28August 2020

Great product; great quality.

#29June 2020

After boosting, it is not the same rubber. Pretty slow, even in maximum thickness. Much spinnier and faster. If you are on a budget, you have to buy it.

#30March 2018

Can’t go wrong with this product!

#31August 2017

Got this for my daughter (10 years old) who is now picking up the sport along with myself. The rubber is cheap but has reasonable speed and spin compared to the original rubber that was on the blade. It has allowed her to better work on her technique of looping while maintaining good control. Very good for the price.

#32June 2017

Good control rubber. Good quality for the price. Fast shipping!

#33February 2017

Very good rubber to start playing, but not so much for a professional level!

#34February 2017

The soft version has more catapult and spin. Same reaction with the plastic ball like the softer version. With the plastic ball era, some old rubbers have lost touch… But this rubber is weird, when we played drills for 2 days, it seems to perform better with plastic balls in terms of catapult but lesser in spin. While with the older balls, it’s spinnier but less catapult. It’s great for hobby rubber and starter rubber. It’s really just best to save a little bit of money and buy the h3.

#35January 2017

Cumpre o que promete, excelente para iniciantes no esporte.

#36December 2016

Muito bom, brasileiros podem comprar e confiar, o prazo demorou um pouco para chegar, mas chegou inteiro com a borracha colada.

#37March 2016

Quality is good in reference to the price quoted for purchase.

#38March 2016

This rubber is somewhere between H3 Neo and Yasaka Mark V, with a slight lean towards the Neo. It’s not very tacky, but has plenty of grip.

For the low price, it’s fantastic to use on a backhand if you’re unsure of what to use, or use it on both sides of an All+ blade for a beginner on a budget.

#39February 2016

This rubber is too slow for me. I played with it for a couple of weeks and completely hated it. If you don’t like very slow rubbers, skip this one.

#40October 2015

A very good all-around rubber and well-balanced. Can be paired with any blade.

#41June 2015

Adhesive surface. Affordable price. Firm when pressed.

#42June 2015

The surface is very sticky! It is hard during play and when pressing down. Requires good physical fitness and a high level of technique. These are my observations.

#43October 2014

Las gomas y el servicio de envío son muy buenos. Estoy muy conforme con ustedes. Voy a volver a comprar más artículos. Gracias.

#44January 2014

This rubber is very cheap, very spinny, tacky for serves, and great for up-close play with good control. It is great for beginners, and for all kinds of games:
1.8 defensive
2.0 all-round
2.2 offensive.

#45July 2013

Well, excellent for a new player. It’s good.

#46March 2013

Good quality and the best price.

#47February 2013

Good price and good quality.

#48February 2013

Very good and inexpensive rubber.
