Double Happiness C-8 is a highly deceptive chopping rubber that can also produce some attacking shots. Returns can produce decent spin reversal and can be highly unpredictable! It is regarded as a rubber with HIGHLY 'disturbing' properties. User Reviews (from internet/newsgroups): Review by Alex:
C8 plays like a cross between Friendship 755 and Stiga Destroyer, and is very effective close to the table. Counter-hits, so long as you are in position and hit through the ball, are consistent and give decent spin reversal. Blocks against topspin can be done by using a strong forwards movement, although chop-blocks seem to work better: they are more consistent, stay low, and give good spin reversal while slowing the ball down. Hitting against backspin, especially against heavy backspin, is consistent and reasonably fast. As with 755, it is better to use a 'normal' style for hitting against backspin, rather than the 'scooping' style that is necessary for other long pimples (a 'normal' style, for backhand shots, uses the wrist and forearm in roughly equal amounts, whereas the 'scooping' style comes almost entirely from the forearm and involves opening the face of the bat while keeping a straight wrist throughout the shot). Pushes with C8 can be kept low, and produce enough variation to make the opponent hesitate. Chops with C8 give good to very good spin reversal – enough to trouble a good looper. However, because C8 is a relatively fast long pimpled rubber, it is really only good for fast chopping. It is difficult to slow the ball down, and it is difficult to control the rally when chopping (since everything happens too fast!). The speed also means chops tend to go long. Despite this, C8 would be effective for occasional or even frequent chops, so long as this is not the focus of one's game. Overall then, C8 is not especially good as a chopping rubber; and most close-to-the-table players would probably prefer Friendship 755 or 837 (since these are slightly better for hitting and normal blocking). But for those close-to-the-table players who like to hit and chop-block, C8 is probably the better choice.
Name: Yose Country: Singapore Comments: great at
reversing spins and superb wobbling effect also you can hit hard with this
rubber.The only downside is that it's wobbling could sometime be so
unpredictable even to us the players >.< Rating: 10 Name: Syed Country: Indonesia Comments: Great Blocks and
spin reversal but what really surprised was it's speed that makes an assumption
that a long pimple rubber can't hit hard has gone totally wrong Rating: 10 Name: yesman Country: USA Comments: Spin reversing
effects are pretty good, and attacking is easy and effective. What really
suprised me was its great control. To me, it has better control than Dr. Neub
what ever super special. Spin reversal is much worse, though. Rating: 9
