I'm interested in these rubbers. How fast are they? I'm looking for some grippy chinese rubbers with fast and hard sponge to whack the crap out of the ball with. I don't really like these hurricane tacky type topsheets they really slow up flat smashes. So What would be your suggestion?

scratch God Favored.. they're tacky..
Faster is fast but not quite spinny, mildly tacky topsheet. Focus is grippy, but quite soft. Will not do for all wood blade, but will do well on a stiff carbon blade.. I personally dunno about 729-2, but i heard it's mildly tacky and quite fast. |

How about 729-5? If you need any, I have access to them direct from China

The Focus series isn't very fast. You might like Cream Transcend, medium to lightly tacky topsheet, fast for a Chinese rubber.
Here are some reviews of the rubbers you listed though: 729 Focus 2 Reviews 729 God-Favored SST Reviews 729 Faster 2 Reviews 729 729-2 Sensor Reviews |

Or you may like a custom assembled rubber, maybe Cream topsheet or 729-2 topsheet on Dawei Lightning 47-degree sponge.

Actually I think focus 1 is fairly fast. Focus 2 is pretty darn fast. If I remember right its that "god favored" sponge on a non tacky topsheet. Focus3 is pretty slow but is a great quality offering nonetheless. The topsheet quality is friendship's best, I think.
The 729-2 senso is pretty fast.

The 729-2 sensor is the only one on that list that is non-tacky (or very lightly tacky), the Focus 2 I used (blue sponge) was dead and I recall we had a disagreement on this last time since you had a fast sheet. Anyways, I've personally looked into short and medium pimples that whack the ball a lot faster than I have with inverted. Especially on my speed 90 lol :P |

The hardest rubber I tried until now is 729 40H on Japanese sponge. The topsheet is hard too, but also very tacky and you want grippy.
I have 729-2 on transcend sponge and is medium tacky. You can try a grippy topsheet, let's say palio cj8000 C, on a hard sponge like palio gp1 (45-50 hardness) or on another hard Chinese sponge. |
