    Ever since the switch to the plastic ball, my backhand pushes with long pips stopped biting the way they used to, and I'd been going back and forth between different equipment, but right now this rubber is the best option. The pushes bite well, so I no longer get smashed easily. It holds the ball well, so it's easy to add sidespin too. The chop also cuts plenty well. The ball flies slowly, which gives me time to get ready for the next shot. It's easy to attack with as well.
    If you want variation or power, another rubber might suit you better, but if you want consistency, this is the one. The value for money is outstanding too!

    It's just really light — the one I bought came in under 60g. I think that's plenty for a small child. They can still swing a heavier one, but it seems to tire them out quickly, so lighter is definitely better. Speed and spin are both moderate. The feel is a bit soft, and the ball leaves the blade surprisingly well. I think it lets a kid develop both the feel for spinning the ball and for driving it. There is a durability issue for sure (the plies on ours started coming unglued), but it ended up working out in a way, since it led to "oh, you're starting to hit the ball better now, guess it's time for a new one."

  • BLUESTORM Z1 TURBO

    User review

    I've used the Bluestorm Z1 through Z3, and each one had that slight "something's missing" feeling. But using this rubber solved everything.
    The Z3 was unmatched for how easy it was to put spin on drives, but it lacked a bit of power, and on finer things like pushes, it would sometimes fly further than I expected. The Z1 has power and is easy to use over the table, but the trajectory is on the flat side.
    But when I put the Turbo on one side, the trajectory got noticeably higher, and backhand drives (chiquita) over the table in particular got easier to do. The way full-swing drives carry through feels great too, and pushes and stops are easier to control as well, so I quickly decided to put Turbo on both sides.
    Its biggest appeal is performance that goes way beyond its price. I think this rubber stands shoulder to shoulder with Rakza as one of the best out there.

    I saw a video from a certain shop and wanted to try Darker's "23 processing," so I bought it. It looked like an interesting blade for short pips, so I put short pips on my forehand.
    Hitting some light forehand strokes, my impression was that the bounce is noticeably toned down. But when I hit hard, the ball flies off with real force. Then I tried blocking... the ball dies in a way that's almost fun to watch! And of course, stops land dead on the spot!
    Once I got into game practice, this blade really showed its true colors! It's amazing how easily you can push your opponent back and forth. When I flipped the blade over and hit a topspin drive, it drew a really high arcing trajectory and then dropped sharply after the bounce. When I smashed, the power was ridiculous! Maybe even faster than an inner blade?
    People looking for more "carry" on their drives might find it lacking, but everything else about the performance was impressive. I feel like a powerful unorthodox-style attacking player putting Chinese rubber on this could create some amazing chemistry...!
    As for the feel, well, of course it's great — it's a Darker blade.

    Chopping on the backhand side is genuinely easy with this. You barely need to think about the spin on your opponent's ball. Just adjust your touch to match the ball's speed and it lands on the table on its own. You can't generate your own spin, but if you chop down sharply on a heavily spinning drive it comes out completely dead, so mixing that in with simply blocking it back gives you a bit of variation.
    If you rely purely on how rare anti-spin rubbers are, it should be good enough up to district-level tournaments through junior high. By the way, I use red on both sides and flip it around while practicing with my kids. It's an easy way to enjoy fooling them with changes in spin amount. I think it's also good practice for kids to learn to read the ball and adjust their shot.
