It seems rubbers that smell of boosters like to shrink and lose their properties after booster evaporate. I like Tibhar Evolution rubbers when they are new, but they fade away quite quickly and they shrink too. Only ESN rubber I know that don't shrink is Joola Rhyzm, but it's older generation.

Are there any recent ESN rubbers that don't shrink or don't smell of boosters?

ESN rubbers with the distinctive smell definitely shrink as the booster wears off. Which ones use the booster seems pretty random to me. Here are some which don't have the smell, and don't seem to shrink much in my experience:

Donic Bluefire JP01/JP02/JP03
Adidas Tenzone Ultra / Tenzone Ultra SF
Joola Rhyzm/Rhyzm-P
Xiom Omega V range

Note that the Joola MAXX range does use the booster.
This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated.

Both Rhyzm (425) and BF (JP03) shrink some, former being worse than the latter. I would think the other versions do as well. Worst offender I've met is indeed the Maxxx 450, yet I'm still playing with it. It smells strongly and recessed 2mm off the edge if my blade.

Don't remember whether I used Finezip or TSP, probably TSP. I've just glued a new one with Revolution medium viscosity, I'll see if it's any better. It had no impact on playing quality anyway, and it happened over the course of 4 months.

OK, cool. Just wondering if the glue could have had an effect for you, but it looks like it hasn't.

BOMB labeled rubbers would emulate ESN products pretty well, best agreeable pricing.

it is difficult to find one ESN rubber that don't shrink, especially recent version. because of the booster's property, something would evaporated. but why don't you chose T80, T05FX? i've chenged from ESN rubber to T80, T05FX.

A little over $30 per sheet before accounting for the shipping.

Omega IV pro doesnt smell out of the pack. have used 3 sheets of them in the past 4 years. Same goes for Sigma II pro. no smell on either, neither do they shrink. My one sheet of OmegaIV pro domed because I used wd40 on it, thinking it would restore lost properties of an old sheet. Others were fine.
