Friendship/729 Bluesponge

Borracha muito lenta e com muita aderência. Pelo preço, útil para iniciantes.

This rubber is not designed for my style, no speed but it is good for the lazy players, good control near the table.

Really amazing control. Not fast but really spinny.

The reason I like this rubber so much is that it is available in thinner versions. It’s unceasingly hard to find smooth rubber that works for defense. The price is great. It is tacky. It certainly doesn’t need boosting in the 1.0 or 1.2 types. I would guess in the typical thicker versions it would be rather average without boosting, but it is great to find something that works so well for defense, especially combined with pips on the other side for such a great price.

Inexpensive, good quality rubber. Slow and controllable. Didn’t use it much, though, due to its low throw.

I don’t play that often, but this is a good beginner sticky-ish rubber. It generates good spin, and I can even do pretty good backspin serves with it that stop at half length over the net or even shorter. Good control and okay-ish looping ability as the rubber is not so sticky that a spin ball from the opponent flies immediately in the wrong direction if not hit correctly. Good to Learn Spin shots and easy to control, as well as pretty good speed.

There are two rubbers that are too addictive and highly effective. I find that the Speedy Spin rubber has more control than this. Spinny with good control for push tactics. fast and very spinny for close to the table. this is a rubber for the aggressive players. this is a rubber for the aggressive players. this is a rubber for the aggressive players.

Low price and good rubber, recommended for BH.

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

Good rubber when boosted so I came back for a few more.

So I bought this because I wanted to see what all the hype is behind boosted Chinese rubbers! Very hard sponge! After 4 layers of booster over 5 days, it felt great on my 90’s Stiga UTC all-round classic! Great control, very spinny/tacky. Glad I bought a few rubbers.

I like Chinese rubbers. Not as spinny as DHS Hurricane 3, but it has a better price.

It’s preferable to boost it in order to break it in as soon as possible. Other than that, excellent medium-hard lightweight rubber.

Perfect for those who want to develop their FH stroke.
This is my first Chinese rubber on my FH.
Very spinny and control is superb!

Cheapest rubber that I’ve ever used with superb performance! I boosted it 3 times (24hrs, 12hrs, 12hrs interval) and paired with Butterfly ALL Secretin blade. Perfect spin, superb control, and decent speed!

I was hoping the rubber would be harder than it was. Lately, I have been wanting a hard Chinese rubber for my forehand. The rubber is great; I’m just looking for something else.

Good rubber and lightweight, but not suitable for carbon blades - I suppose so. It is designed for wood blades; otherwise, it plays like a “dead” rubber if you are lazy ))). A real Chinese rubber. I put it on Venus 14 Pro (Galaxy Yinhe), like ALC. I need to work on my short game for long distances with control. Use it against strong players to obtain some control. Understand how you play and your style. It gives spin, control, and pretty good speed if you like the “Chinese style”. If you play the European style (lazy, to be bounced from the rubber without movement) - forget about it. It’s cheap, put it on wood blades. Suitable for BH better.

Good rubber given the price. Slow rubber, but it can generate a lot of spin.

I bought a few pieces on sale meant for practice only. I boosted it and used it on FH. Wow, it is really good not only for beginners. It is easier to penetrate through the sponge and apply power from the blade. There is enough spin either chopping or looping. It performs well from short games to mid-range. In my opinion, it is good for players from any level. I plan to stick it to my FH. For its price, it has way overperformed! By the way, this rubber best fits players who have a good foundation and power from the bottom up. If you rely on power from your arm and a bouncy sponge, then this rubber is not for you.

About 40 degrees. It is tacky.

This rubber is great for working on technique. Even a small mistake and you will get punished. It forces me to use my legs more instead of just relying on my arm because when I don’t use my legs, the ball doesn’t go over the net. People who say this rubber is bad probably have poor technique themselves. It’s the player who plays the game, not the paddle.

I use it on my practice blade, good spin and control. I will get another for spare.

Excellent rubber. I have been using it since 1995 and recommend it, especially for casual players.

The rubber weighs 60 grams and measures 163x163x2.0 mm, which is quite light, considering that there are almost no pimples on the top sheet. The rubber is not fast, but sticky with a thin sponge, making it suitable for defensive play.

I wanted to try this 2.0mm rubber on my Fh CPen Yasaka Sweden Extra Ch.Pen, instead of DHS TG2, 2.2 …
Amazing!
Recommend to all CPen players!

Pretty good rubber by itself, it’s more grippy than it is tacky. Sponge is fairly soft for a Chinese rubber as well, but I do find the ball sometimes doesn’t bite the rubber, causing it to slide off.

With 2 layers of booster, this is a different machine, picks up low balls with great ease, really feeling the ball bite into the sponge. I am able to loop back over the table short balls with extreme ease.

Good for those of you who want to start using plastic balls. They are cheap and were on sale for 4 boxes of 6 for the price of 3 boxes!

Fair for the price…

Very good product. Very spinny, yet really good control, and fast. Really springy sponge, overall a great product.

This is a very good product. Great sponge, real tacky top sheet, great control, yet fast.

Great sponge, good grip.

Blue sponge version made for forehand. I had never tried this one, and I must say it is the hardest piece of rubber I’ve tried so far. And it didn’t get any better after 2 weeks of playing with it. Okay, it is cheap, but there are several other better options in the price range. If you want to buy it to get a feel of Chinese rubbers, you must boost it.

It’s a nice product for beginners for a nice price.

When tuned, it plays at the same level as those very expensive rubbers. It becomes super fast when boosted, but you must use 6-7 layers of boost. It is not too grippy, but offers unbelievable control.

The price of this rubber reflects the respectfulness of “729 friendship.” It is just a rubber, so why should it cost $50-$70? Why??

This rubber proves that you can play like a pro with a $9 rubber, and that the rest of the rubbers in the market are a white-hand theft and robbery.

Buy it, tune it, and push your game with it…

Amazing rubber, similar to a Tackiness C. Provides great control and feeling.

Amazing rubber, similar to a Tackiness C.
Great control and feeling. Thanks.

Considering the price, blue sponge looks great. As expected, not very speedy or springy, but pretty spinny. For the price, definitely worth a shot.

Good for FH & BH!

No matter what… blue sponge… handsome!

My first Chinese rubber. Good for BH. Simple rubber for beginners.

Great value rubber, very good quality, and yet again top service from Table Tennis 11.

Very nice FH rubber.
This is my first Chinese rubber after Japanese/European rubbers.
With proper techniques, this rubber shines in all strokes.
Perfect control. Don’t want anything else.

Good rubber, but too soft for me.

Review text:

More speed and more control. 1.5mm is very good for blocking.

Great rubber for offensive players. Provides excellent grip and control on the ball. Fast and powerful shots are easily executed with this rubber. Suitable for players looking to improve their attacking game. Highly recommended.

Perfect.

It is not very durable, it is hard, but it has good spin. These rubbers were made for players who are starting in table tennis. It’s very cheap, but it doesn’t have a lot of speed. For those looking for something better than the rubber sold in stores, I recommend it. Really, it is the better quality than any rubber accompanying racket.

Não é muito durável, é dura, mas tem muito efeito. Essas borrachas foram feitas para jogadores que estão iniciando no tênis de mesa. É muito barata, mas não tem muita velocidade. Quem procura algo melhor do que as borrachas vendidas em lojas, eu recomendo-a. Realmente, a qualidade dela é superior a qualquer borracha que acompanha a raquete.

Very good. TT11 is the best shop - very good products. Order arrived in Italy in only 6 days. I will buy here always next time.
