    Posted: 08/15/2008 at 7:38pm

interested in stoping gluing or tuning but looking for something that will be as close as possible to glued up H3

right now i have a sheet of reactor thunder, will be testing it out after this weekend, supposedly some built-in effect
 
anyone tried the new friendship 729-08? i think that is supposed to have built-in effect, i might be wrong
 
curious about a globe 999 topsheet over the hardest inspirit quattro sponge also
 
any thoughts, suggestions, or reviews are appreciated

There's also a few people on the chinese forums talking about this 729-5
 
 
They were saying something about DHS 21 and tensor feeling and the 729-5 being similar, I dunno :) the translator is pretty limited but I'm going to guess the sponge is like DHS 21 and the pimples are conical like H3 (shaped like towers?:) )

JRSDallas, I got it from one of a kind trading. Not sure on the Hardness it's not marked but a little bit softer than the old orange sponge, but it's more elastic and more lively. I guess 37/38 somewhere around that. I've bought 5 of them now and they all feel fairly similar

the thunder is nice, a lot of value at such a cheap price, it does not have any profound glue effect, but it does have some nice speed to it, it doesnt feel like glued up h3, but it feels playable for a no glue rubber, the topsheet looks very nice coming out the package, has a nice tackiness to it, it looks like there is some visible tension built-in to the topsheet, it is pretty tacky coming out of the package, this needs to wear down a little bit before you feel its true speed, feels slow at first from the extra tackiness of new rubber, when that wears off a bit and the sponge breaks in a bit it starts to feel really nice, i am thinking about making the switch but i love my H3, i am going to try to sneak heavily PO tuned H3 past the enez machines, if that doesnt work, i just might make the permanent switch to thunder
