	Hey Guys I want to find out whats the longest lasting non-Chinese rubber out there. At the moment I've only found that a few butterfly rubbers that really last. Heres my favorites: Sriver series, Any of the Butterfly High tension series except for Sriver G2. I'm not a buttefly fan, but sadly they are the only ones that churn out stuff that fits my bill. Are there any others that I've not discovered yet?

	Sriver EL or G2 from the Sriver serie's and Stiga Mendo MP is quite durable and Stiga Almana Sound is verygood, but the rubber I like most for durability is Joola Laser

	The sriver topsheet seems to be especially durable but in return the touch isn't particularly great due to the thickness of the topsheet. MarkV didn't seem to last long for me, the topsheet faded really fast. I've got Mendo MP and after one day of play I can see some marks on the centre of the topsheet so that makes me wonder.

	I'm not sure what he is using, but my the owner of my table tennis club has been using the same rubber for nearing twenty years. The rubber is still very tacky and lively.

	I had two Sriver FX put on my blade in about 1991, then played with them for for about 4 years, then put it in a case and quit playing until 2007. Took it out of the case and it was still quite playable; granted after 4 years of rather intense practice and tournaments they have deteriorated somewhat and the grip was not the same but it kept for 16 years! I guess that's why Butterfly's prices are pretty high; I wonder if JUIC's prices are justified as well... anybody here with a long lasting Spinspiel ?
