Soft topsheet allows you to generate huge
spin. With the medium soft sponge (40deg) the speed is decent, but will need
some glue to get it real fast. With a thin (1.5mm) sponge it's a very popular
chopper rubber as it offers great control and huge spin or variation potential.
Great rubber!!! Good control, speed, spin, tackiness and
weight. Perfect
A little bit less spinny than ritc rubbers at first but as
you use this rubber the tackiness increases. its also less faster than ritc
rubbers but its one of the most controllable chinese rubbers i have tried and i
think its better than 729-2 or ritc 2000
Bought a 1 mm Globe999 but don't like it. It's not a rubber
for a decent topspin. It's not spinny enough. But it has good control and you
can smash very hard with it. And the price is nice!
I've got the 1.5 mm version. Its 40 degree sponge gives you
great feel on chops but you can attack with it as well when necessary. Loops
from it are difficult for your opponent to return. On smashes it gives very good
speed. Overall a wonderful rubber. I use it on Joola Toni Hold.
I've just bought a few sheets of '999' after using Mark V
for many years, and am amazed how good this rubber is. Control, spin, and speed
are perfect for my loop game. If there is anything I'd pick on about this
rubber, it is it's weight, which is quite heavy. on a value for money scale 999
is way ahead of MarkV as far as I'm concerned, and better as an all-round
rubber.
I have tried this rubber last week during practice and my
comments are the following: For Backhand it has what it takes, very much
control, light, and you can do almost everything with it. For the forehand, I
regret to say that it is slow and not spinny enough. I used it on a Dawei Carbon
BBC blade, and the feeling is very good, on my forehand I use xienting chinese
rubber, but must get used to it yet. My overall comment on Globe 999 is that
should be used for backhand side only
A very polyvalent rubber, tacky (but less than a Friendship
729 FX), with a medium sponge (hardness c.a H40). You can do almost everything
with it : chop, hit, loop. In 1.8 mm, interesting for an active defense style,
with FH conter-attack.
Very good rubber with super control.
Great spin, decent control and feel. Good if you have a
relatively hard and fast blade, as rubber is pretty slow due to its original
soft cream sponge.
