Butterfly Rozena Rubber Review

Released in 2017, Butterfly Rozena marked a new rubber line targeted at a specific audience. Piggybacking off of the success of Tenergy, Rozena is aimed at players who are not skilled enough to use Tenergy but want a similar playing experience. Think of it somewhat as a muted Tenergy rubber

Tibhar Evolution MX-P Review: A Wildly Popular Rubber

Tibhar Evolution is a wildly popular rubber series that is often compared with the Tenergy line produced by Butterfly. They both occupy the same rubber niche, therefore Evolution is largely considered Tibhar’s Tenergy equivalent.

Donic Bluefire M2 is a well-balanced rubber for all areas of play, yet it also offers high spin and speed, which makes it very desirable. It best fits into the offensive category but can certainly still occupy the allround+ or offensive+ classification in the hands of the right player and

If you want a grippy rubber with explosiveness then Butterfly Tenergy 64 is the rubber you need to buy. Butterfly Tenergy 64 is fast, like super-fast. So fast in fact that it’s considered to be the quickest of the Tenergy family which is one of the reasons it is so

Andro Rasanter R42 Review

Rasanter is one of the most popular rubber series that Andro has put out. Its predecessor, Andro Rasant, was similarly very well-received by the table tennis community.
