AIR Illumina x88 Alpha Plus/Delta Sound
Price: $22 - SALE $20


Color
Thickness

This topsheet has a very soft, euro feel with traditional euro pips structure. Extremely spinny without being sticky at all. The sponge in this batch is natural off white and it is very clicky, even moreso than the dawei sponges. This rubber is a rarity that blocks as well as it loops. Now avaiable in two hardnesses of sponge. One version is called "alpha plus" and is 38deg (like the previous illumina batch)and is the fastest illumina make so far, still with good click. The new version is 35deg but bouncy and clicky. They call it "delta sound." The true strength of Illumina rubber lies in its control while countering or blocking heavy topspin. Combo price is $18 per sheet...email me for this. Neither type is tuned nor do they need tuning. Effect is built in and permanent.
AIR Scirocco - SALE $18
Price: $20


Color
Thickness

There are three kinds: SN is the least tacky but slightly softer sponge; SR is power and control; SF is spin. The SN and SR have large pips which make the rubber play "flater" for more stable pushing and hitting. SF is slightly softer top and has traditional pips. Only lightly tacky. SF plays like a higher quality, slightly less tacky version of Quattro UL. Combo price $16 per sheet - email me for quoteed combo.
Inspirit Quattro ULTRALIGHT
Price: $16


Color
Thickness

Dawei's best euro copy rubber. Thin top allows for better sink into the sponge and better use of the best glue feel sponge of any unglued rubber coming from china by far. This is a euro style looping rubber, lightly tacky, and built for max topspin. Max is supposed to be 2.3 but sometimes goes thicker. The SV is around 35deg, regular around 40, and power version around 42deg. 42deg is available in 2.2 only. If you want to use Quattro or Quattro UL in a combo you will need to click the "Quattro Upcharge" button below the regular quattro, once for each sheet of you want to use. It will add $2 to the cost of your combo for each sheet.
Inspirit Quattro - SALE $14
Price: $16


Color
Thickness

This is the thicker topsheet version of quattro, which makes it play a little flatter than the UL version. Pushes flatter, flat hits better, less topspin on loops.
Dawei Inspirit - SALE $12
Price: $14


Color
Hardness/Thickness

More controlled version of the inspirit series. Still a very corky, euro copy sponge and an absolute steal at this price.
Galaxy Moon and Sun
Price: $16.00


Color
Thickness

Two popular, non tuned galaxy rubbers that have been selling very well lately and are "hot" on the forums. Sun has wider pips like Scirrocco SR and SN. Both are only slightly tacky and have 38deg, lively sponges. Requires combo upcharge.
Galaxy Apollo Tuned - SALE $14
Price: $17.00


Color
Thickness

Limited supply so get it quick. Last time I ran out in a month or less and I didnt' order much more this time. Quite tacky but extremely heavilly tuned so still has some speed. -EIf you want this in a combo, use quattro upcharge button once per sheet.
Galaxy Venus2 Tuned - SALE 14
Price: $15.00


Color
Thickness

This is a quality traditional chinese, tacky topsheet on a fairly hard but heavilly tuned sponge. Thicker plastic base seems to allow the sponge to retain the tuner more than other makes I've tried.
Sprungfeder G3 - SALE $12
Price: $14.00


Color

The newest and best version of the popular Dawei Sprungfeder rubber. At one time this was my best selling tacky rubber, at that time displacing cream on mrs. Sponge is kind of a cross between saviga and quattro, and a firm 40. The tackiest dawei offering I carry.
Gambler Outlaw Classic and Golden Cake version
Price: $14


Color
Thickness

This very successful rubber has been one of my biggest sellers over the last year or two. Totally non tacky but reasonably spinny top. Excellent speed. The classic sponge is faster and less spinny, while the golden cake sponge loads topspin better.
Gambler Wraith
Price: $14.00


Color/Type
Thickness

Wraith is the spinniest of the gambler rubbers and is quite fast for being fairly tacky. Springy sponge.
Gambler Shadow
Price: $14.00


Color/Type
Thickness

Shadow is a slightly more control oriented rubber than wraith. Less tacky, softer sponge.
Gambler Reflectoid
Price: $14.00


Color/Type
Thickness

Although a labled as defensive rubber, it is not an anti spin. It is fairly spinny. It is made for blocking and chopping primarilly but can topspin pretty well. Most people who want to spin with it will go 2.0, and the 1.5 is more for chopping and blocking.
Dawei 2008XP/td>
Price: $7


Color
Thickness

This rubber should be selling for at least $10, but what the heck right? The sponge is 40deg and fairly fast. The topsheet is medium thickness and only very lightly tacky. In 1.8 it's a decent rubber for beginners if a little "hot", and offers a quality option for premade prices.

LKT BlackPower/RedDiamond
Price: $14.00


Color/Type
Thickness

A forum favorite, this rubber is very lightly tacky with a medium firm sponge. A popular item.
Gambler Aces PRO
Price: $14.00


Color

Tacky rubber with good control. Something like geo tacky but a little firmer and faster.
LKT Pro XT
Price: $14.00


Color
Thickness

Modern, ultralight rubber made by friendship under the LKT brand. Moderately tacky, this rubber is something like geo tacky. Not quite as sticky but with a newer type of sponge.
LKT Pro XP
Price: $14.00


Color
Thickness

XP is supposed to be a less tacky (and therefore faster) version of the same rubber, but there's very little difference if any. Instead, what I find (like many of the rubbers I carry) is that the black is quite a bit softer and tackier than the red in either make.
Geospin/Geo Tacky
Price: $14.00


Color/Type
Thickness

Geospin black tacky is among the stickiest, spiniest rubbers on the planet. It has excellent control (being sticky it does react to incoming spin heavilly though), and is medium in speed. The regular Geospin is supposed to be on a softer sponge, but I can't tell the difference. I like black tacky on the forehand and red regular on BH if you choose these rubbers.
FXEL Supersoft
Price: $14.00


Color
Thickness

This was 729's first attempt at creating a Euro rubber. It's soft, half tacky, and very very light. It's been criticized for lacking power, but I don't think it seems that slow. It's a great rubber for control looping, and I frequently recommend it to players making their first step up from a pre-made racket. One of the highest control rubbers on the market.
Cream on Magic Red Sponge
Price: $14.00


Color

This is the rubber that got me into the business. For a couple years my best seller. Tacky topshet so not great for beginners but loads of control for people who want to play equal amounts of offense and defense. Be aware this is fairly heavy, esp if you're using on both sides.
FocusIII Snipe
Price: $14.00


Color

I believe this new snipe version is no longer japanese sponge, but the sponge is more consistent and the topsheet is probably the highest quality friendship makes. Totally non tacky, quite soft.
H3 Neo
Price: $22


Color

I'm not known to carry a lot of dhs, but I tried this and was impressed. Sponge seems to be tuned, and has the plastic painted onto the sponge to seal it in. Much like the galaxy and other tuned stuff I've tried, but this does seem to be from a different manufacturer based on the finish. The topsheet does seem to me to be dhs make. Sponge seemed a little thinner than other 2.15's I've seen but I thought it was perfect thickness for play. Anyway, I was impressed enough to try stocking it. Semi tacky top, not terribly thick or heavy. PRICED BY THE EACH, sorry no combo's or discounts on this item.
