I played the Pronte some years ago and beat better
players than me, just by pushing the ball back without effort. I was
satisfied with the rubber, but thought that there may be other rubbers
which may be even better (EJ-syndrome). the last 2 years i went through
an odyssee of changing setups: china-rubbers, japan-rubbers, hard, soft,
fast, slow, super tacky, and everything. But with none of them i felt
comfortable, my performance went down. Now i came back to my old setup
(729 Hinoki Carbon with Pronte) and once again im impressed by the
"compliance" the rubber has. I think it has something to do with the
unusual long dwell-time of the ball on the highly-tacky and soft
topsheet. With Bryce i can loop rockets, with H2 i can loop really
dangerously, but what does all this count, when i lose points in passive
play due to lack of control? Pronte is fast as Sriver yet tolerant as
Tackiness and nearly as tacky as Globe 999. When it comes to critical
points in troublesome situations the rubber never let me down. No matter
if its fishing, counter-smashing, or backspin defence. With Pronte you
may place the ball into the corner of the table without knowing how this
happened. When you need it Pronte does it for you! I can recommend
everyone to try this quite unpopular rubber out. If it won't please you,
sell it to me!
I got the pronte in soft, and it's a rubber so unique: it's so soft and
bouncy that it is hardly possible to play brush loops with it, you must
go straight to the ball, "press" the ball. The rubber has the highest
throw (of all rubbers?) according to don iguana, and according to me,
this is true. you can literaly "block" underspin, so high is the throw
and so huge is the bounce. Maybe with a harder sponge the rubber plays
different, but i got it in soft.
If there is a similar rubber which comes close, i
would say the mambo, but the pronte has strong tack and a higher throw.
Anything else you like to know?

Pronte has been called "nuclear flypaper." It's an extremely high throw,
sticky but fairly fast rubber. Some people really like it but it takes
some skill to get much out of it. Agooding2
