I tried a few rubbers after taking the game up about four years ago, but once I gave the Hurricane 3 a go I knew I'd never look elsewhere (now have it on both sides). It's brilliant for 'local league' club players like myself because the power of faster rubbers can be difficult to control. You can get fantastic control and spin, but it's still fast enough at the level I play at, when you want to really put the bat through the ball. A tip if you use them and don't want to spend a fortune changing them too often - once the tack goes, add a little commercial cleaner (I use Custom's Bio-Clean) just before you play each time. The rubber instantly gets some good tack back.

There are a lot of table tennis rubbers out there guys, what are your top 5? 🔥

I first used bike glue back in 1978 when i ran out of glue and when telling other players they seem shocked that that glue would work. Those puncture repair kits were fantastic as they came in a small tin box and would fit nicely in your bat case and came with a little grate plate to help you scuff off the old glue. Never noticed any change in speed when using it on mark v or the black power rubber on my forehand. I don't know about the Hungarian guy being the first, i don't think he would have been born when we used it here in Australia lol.

When I was into table tennis I collected blades and rubbers of all types, I made some wild combos, like short pips on one side, long on the other, etc. Fun to use.

Thank you for good and quality clip. Love this video very much.♥️♥️

Can you do a video where you tell us about being confident and motivated for a tournament or match? I think it will be really helpful🙌🔥🏓 Love your content btw, it really helped me the last months :3

Hi Dan!! What is the average life of table tennis rubbers like 100 or 150 hours ?

Hello Dan! In my opinion that's a great youtube chanel! I just subscribed to it. Keep making such interesting videos.

I was around when Mark V came out back in 1969. What i find interesting is seeing some old strokes getting resurrected with the new ball and rubbers. More punching, flat hitting, and hitting off the bounce.

Tenergy 05 is my best rubber but it is bloody expensive

I played with shriver in my youth. I missed vari spin (great allround rubber in the past) and the Andro rasanter (r37, r42, r47, r50, v47 and v50). All most every one at my club plays with one of the reasanter rubber now. It's most populair now I think.

Awesome review... probably the 1st comparative one with history to current time. Excellent attempt. Really appreciate. Please have more comparatives with similar 5 rubbers and blades from different brands of the recent time.

Donic Coppa was also one of those popular ones back in the days. I played the Donic F1 and F3 when I was younger. Donic was actually a very popular brand back in the days. Now even Dima switched to Butterfly, which is actually really sad, but Butterfly hit the market with that lucky Tenergy-punch and seem to be the benchmark until today.

Hey Dan, why did you never switch from your timo boll alc? In some of your reviews you sound really positive about other frames

I prefer the 38 mm ball in celluloid. I also like the 21 point game format. Why were other colors of rubber like green and gold discontinued? I took a break from table tennis and it morphed into something completely different.

Very high quality video 🔥

I use Tenergy 05, which is an arm and a leg, but cheaper than trying lots of other rubbers for a couple of weeks in the hunt for something close. Can I have some advice on gluing though, I used to roll it on, and that stretched it. Now I lay it on - is either way better (laying it on means you can take it off to reuse it more easily on spare bats as it will still fit - stretching tends to shrink back after cutting)?

I used Tackiness D and C. Maybe 20 years ago, this was a really nice combination :)

Hey If I use sriver on an offensive blade will it be good for competition (I'm entering competition and am looking for a fast rubber) or should I go for butterfly roundell

I use yasaka Rakza 7 on my FH, still has good control and is quite forgiving, may not be as fast mxp or tenergy.

Really great analysis

Hello I need suggestion about setup...I am considering Tenergy 05 and/or its kind, but I am confused about the good combination, what blade is good for it, what backhand rubber that suits it...thanks!

Can you do a review on dhs hurricane 3

so is it a good idea to put Tenergy 05 on backhand side and Hurricane 3 on the other? For a beginner like me, on an all wood 5-ply blade, maybe Butterfly Primorac?

Super Sriver was a lot underrated in the 70‘s. I changed from a Mark V to the Super Sriver on a Hinoki Wood and it worked fantastic for my style…. 😉

what i really like about tenergy 05 is it comes down so nicely at the end while looping

Time for some Yasaka Rakza series reviews I think!

wicked video , all info i wanted

Nice information! Wish I could hear your opinion about Gambler rubbers.

I use DHS hurricane for BH and tibhar mx-p for FH , suits my style of play , a perfect combo .✌🏻

In the 80s I had Mark V on one side and Sriver or Super Sriver on the other side. The 80s was a good era for rubbers. I was surprised how much spin you could get from these rubbers. Used to use Double Happiness instead of Sriver too. Was super sticky too (with a blade) , so you reallu had to look after its tackiness.

It's a great video - BUT - - - you missed BRYCE! I think Butterfly Bryce in the speed glue era was more popular than MX-P now, it was on par with Hurricane and Tenergy for attacking players.

My dad played with Mark V and I just bought my both sides Mark V. It's a great rubber if you play good and wanna have fun with a great rubber

H3 review plox. (preferably one of the blue sponge versions)

Could you do a review on Gewo Hype XT Pro 40? Thank you in advance Your fan

The butterfly tenergy cost much but lasts well. A friend of mine has been using a piece of tenergy 05..for 4 years. There has been slight perf drop off..but amazing it's still viable.

Dan, could you review Victas products pls ? We want to know more about their products. Tks

Hey dan I got a question! So im a beginner player and these rubbers are really good but they are so expensive for me so please I found a good price one and his name is Forfar table tennis rubber. Is it good? Is it good for beginners like me? Thank you!

I use MX-P on the FH and Tenergy 05 FX on the BH. When i was young I used Sriver and Mark V. I agree with your review ;)

So i bought a rubber (TSP triple speed offensive sponge) 15 years ago that i never used. it's still brand new in the packaging. Do they deteriorate over time or could i still use it?

Sobre o teste da rubber diguinics 05 ? Não entra nessas posições entre as 5 ???

I don't play anymore (old and ill) but the Sriver was good enough on both sides to win a couple of regional titles back in the days :-)

I saw that Palio rubber get chucked off the desk ahhh lol. Such a good budget rubber for intermediate players

I get the Thibar EVO MXP, but I am not sure if it matches the same quantity of players for a really long time playing with Bryce ...Bryce Speed etc. Bryce was the equivalent of Tenergy back in the days and it stayed popular for a a very long time. Tenergy will be hard to beat for a time to come, it's revolutionary balance makes it the best ever, and mentally, a top player will not think twice about using/trying it for sure. Especially because they are sponsored (it's a no-brainer). Cool video though ! PS (yes the Hurricane needed the bat to stick to the ball... more contact 😁)

Im an intermediate player. My style is aggressive but i have trouble keeping the ball on the table. Would you recommend the Donic Bluefire JP 02?

30 years ago the Mark V kicks ass.. Used by most players in our provincial matches. My Friendship rubber that time is almost unheard of this side of the globe

I'm intermediate guy, heavy on backhand might buy Stiga Infinity V balde. What rubber should I get? Thinking of Mark V

The Butterfly Tenergy 05 is the top overall rubber, as it maximises Speed and Spin for Offensive players and masters the final shots in many competitions.

Good afternoon, review the old linings palio ak47 red

I just bought a pair of hurricane 3 neos, and it's amazing!

Did you ever tryied DHS Hurricane 3 National?

You mentioned boosting the hurricane 3. I have the hurricane 3 neo on my timo boll all-round blade. Can I boost with it already on the blade?

Hello. Could you advise the Allround blade rubbers ? For example, I consider: Donic Appelgren Allplay, Yasaka Sweden Classic, Stiga Allround Classic etc. I am a self-taught amateur and have made a lot of progress as a recreational player. I had three rackets folded by myself. 1. Donic Waldner Exclusive AR +, Donnic Akkadi Taichi fh and bh 2. Donic Persson Seven, Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft bh, Rakza 7 fh 3. Donic Waldner Exclusive AR +, Donic Bluefire JP 03 bh, Bluestorm Z3 fh Something must have been wrong because the balls were flying behind the table or stopped on the net. Of course, I am aware of technical shortcomings. Overall, I would describe myself as an Allround with an ambition to play offensive. I am looking for a suitable board and cladding for the first years of basic training. I heard that the best allround blades are 100% wood and soft rubber to start with. I am asking for help and Best Regards.

I’m still playing a Mark V.

Could you test the nittaku fastarc serise of rubbers at some point. I hear they are popular in Asia and I'd love to know what you think of them

For Hurricane 3,Ma Long used it on both his forehand and backhands. Some Chinese players also played it on both forehand and backhand

Used to like Friendship 729. Tacky with plenty of control. Used to love playing people with Stiga Mark V as too powerful for them to handle when they got some of their own spin back on service returns.

using tenergy-05 fx and the timo boll w7 blade. IM thinking to chang to timo boll alc, since i actually wanted the alc but it was out of stock sadge

Can u make video for the top 5 rubbers of 2019 , and top 5 blades

How long do you have to play to be able to use ,,Evolution mx-p" (forehand) and ,,Hurricane 3Neo"(backhand)?

Can somebody explain why Buttefly Sriver use old logo while Tenergy uses the new simple Butterfly logo. I have lots of teenage memories coupled with the old Butterfly logo but it seems impossible to buy any butterfly rubber with old logo in Sweden. is that different in UK?

I love the way you create these videos. Is Yasaka Mark V still around? That was the best rubber I had around 1986-1994. I am 52 years old now. Is it still good? It is chaos out there. I just searched DHS Hurricane 3 at Amazon and I got totally lost. Prices starts at $27.37 (Canadian Dollar) and goes up till $430.14 CAD. What's going on? why so much difference in prices for the same rubber? Does it mean some of them are fake?

Mark v has been out since 1967? wow thats a long time!

My top 5 is #DIGNICS05 #TENERGY05 #TIBHAR EVOLUTION MX-P #ANDRO RASANTNER 53 #DHS NEO HURRICANE 09

How is T05 tensioned? What keeps it in tension? What does tension have to do with the speed or spin of the rubber? Show me an equation.

Hello sir According to u which one is better Donic carbotec 7000 vs (tibhar carbon shot with Mark 5 rubber)

So I hadn't played in over 35 yrs...so I was quite shocked when I came back to table tennis, everything had changed. The balls, the rubbers, I missed a lot LOL. I started with Hurricane 3 because I wanted better technique. Having played before and now KZfaq instructions, I picked up very quickly. After I had my strokes, I tried Rakza7 and was blown away. Using a Tibhar Pure Wood blade. I was so impressed, I opted for a sheet of Tynergy 05 - and OMG. I have the technique to control it, but the instant speed and spin and touch, were simply amazing. I remember saying...I will never not own this rubber ever again. LOL. It is amazing stuff.

How do you feel about the Andro Rasanter R48?

I am an intermediate player and i am looking for a offensive blade and speed rubber, so could you please suggest me one.

Please update about top 5 blades..✌🏼

Sir ur videos very helpful for me Sir i play play tt regularly from 6 months I want to buy my first custom made racket I choose stiga all round classic blade With mark 5 with both sides. It is good combination for me plz suggest me

What would you prefer? Yasaka ma lin extra Off or imperial 9 tri Carbon of? Thanks in advance!!!

I remember speed glue like it was yesterday, used to speed glue a thibar vari spin in back hand, decent speed, loads of control and spin. And speed glue a butterfly Bryce speed fx in forehand, this thing went like a rocket!!! Miss speed glue so bad :(

That's a beautiful stack of rubbers.

Hii.in india we use mark 5 n donic sonec jp gold n also donic jo gold plz do mention about this two donic rubar also.thanks

I'm looking for a backside rubber to learn topspin with no sticky adherence but good grip, good dwell Time, forgiving, durable more than 6 months if possible, not slow, not sensitive to spin and not high throw. I've Yasaka rigan it's good but i've not feeling for topspin. Perhaps something like victas v07 regular.

Were the dignics already released in nov 2019 or did they come later?

The h3 neo gets its speed from the blade and your power, it can be slow when you need it and fast when you want it, with a carbon blade, it can be faster than t05, i have them on my viscaria, but the h3 really needs lots of power and excellent technique that it forces you to develop, thats why i love it, it also has all the spin of the world and amazing control. Edit: i have the t05 fx and the 05, i use the fx on my backhand

Can you review dhs hurricane 3, dhs hurricane 3 neo and nittaku hurricane 3?

In the 90’s one of the most popular rubber was Donic Coppa. In modern era certainly is the Tenergy and Xiom Vega.

Back when I used to play about 10 years, I used Andro Rocket as my rubbers, I think.

I use hurricane 3 and Yasaka phantom 007, the price of my phantom 007 when i bought it was more or less Php2,800 or $57 then as of today the phantom 007 our local shop sells it for Php 1,170 or $24 only. The prices of some rubbers are cheaper now.

JOOLA SAMBA->The number one rubber for klick fans in the 90ties and 00years. Not that you could play serious table tennis with it, but the sound was majestic :-) Should definetly be in the list!!!

I have Xiom Vega Pro on both sides of Butterfly Mizutani Jun and they are fast, spinny with good control. I used to have Razka 7 but I like the Vega Pro more.

guys I'm intermediate in the game not bad and not soo good like pro players and I was wondering is DHS hurrican 3 on both sides will be good for infinity vps v blade or not ? Fan Zhendong uses just one side but I don't have enough money to buy tenergy 05

I can’t speak of previous eras, but today there is no question that it’s Tenergy on 1 and Hurricane on 2.

Do you have an updated version of this by any chance? Has it changed?

I use to play with tenergy, but whitin 6 months my rubber would be replacrd. I am only play 1 in a week and no competition. Now i play with Xiom musa and Xiom vega. As a child i played with MarkV and Do from Yasaka. We still use the speedglue 👍👍

Started playing with sriver in 1986 and ended playing in 1993 also with sriver, haven't played ever since. Thinking to start again as recreational plyer of course. Have no clue which blade, rubbers and glue to buy in this modern days.

Is it advisable to use the same rubber on both sides of your paddle?

I think the list is good, but Butterfly Bryce cannot be left out of any top 5 as it changed table tennis in a way similar to how Tenergy changed it... it is a historical milestone in table tennis. Sriver /Mark V (interchangeable), Bryce FX, Tenergy 05, Hurricane 3, MX-P

Mx-p is definitely the spiniest rubber i have ever used ,i have never seen my opponents service returns miss the table by such huge margins,BUT WAIT! these rubbers are dead as a door nail in about 4 weeks and have tried the latest mx-p versions from tibhar and have been extremely disappointed, these rubbers aren't cheap and if Tibhar could develop the rubber so as the spin lasts longer i believe then that this rubber would dominate the market.

Thabk you so much

5:24, look at the edge of Ma Long's rubber, it's curling and the surface of the rubber looked like that due to heavy boosting, IMHO

What goes with those rubbers as blades ? Thank you

Please make a review of stiga carbo advance 6 star

I play g888 on both sides on my stiga alser blade, I bought the blade as a mk v. In 1975 it's the all round one.

Please review the Stiga Azalea blades!
