Joola Rhyzm-Tech - June 2015

Thx for the info AcudaDave.

Soft topsheet and firm sponge.....reminds me of P7 ;)

Ok just let another 2200+ player hit with the Rhyzm Tech and he gave it good reviews. He thought the sponge was firm and the top sheet was medium and that it was pretty fast. I like it on my BH but also thought it was good on FH
Good rubber Joola

I absolutely love the rubber up to this point Victor. Have only played a couple of times with it, but it has the speed, spin, and control that suits my game. It's plenty fast, and is fine on either BH or FH. It has a higher throw angle than the original Rhyzm.

I put a sheet of 2.0 rhyzm tech on my butterfly photino light blade and played at the club last night, It has a fair amount of spin advantage over the rhyzm 375 that i was using on this blade for over a year. I also have had maxxx-p on this blade for 90 days, rhyzm tech feels like a softer rubber and my loops seem to be a bit spinnier, serves are also strong. My main weapon, the "flat hit" is also good with this new rubber...when im through wearing out the maxxx-p on my main blade,JOOLA T.P.E. "fight" I will be switching to rhyzm tech. I think it is a better rubber...For a player with a strong backhand loop I would give it a try, it can spin the ball very well, and blocking seems to be good. I use it on my forehand along with short pips on my backhand. 5stars!...

I'm glad you guys all like it. I've played very well with it and feel very comfortable playing with it.

After breaking in, R-Tech becomes my favourite rubber for the Barwell fleet. BF is very rubber selective and R-Tech is the right one.
It is quite soft but not too soft, spinny and fast. Throw is medium. Overall it is very fun to play with. Great performance when compares to the new ESN rubbers of the same hardness. Speed and spin is not on the top as the MXP level but it offers more than enough.

My R-Tech weights 67 g uncut in 2.0 thickness.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I have a few more hours under my belt with rhyzm tech, so i am updating my post...I am still using it with my butterfly photino light blade untill my tennis elbow heals, it is lighter and puts less strain on my arm than my joola t.p.e. fight blade. I won our monthly club tournament last night, my opening loops have more spin. it is a shot i have been frustrated with since the poly ball. My flat hit shots are strong, I am able to hit balls that are supposed to be to low to hit. what impresses me the most is i am able to reach out and loop back spin balls from heavy pushes to my wide forehand, these shots are dipping hard at the back end of the table,instead of going into the net... a lot of my loops are getting blocked off of the table or popped up so i can hit. counter looping is great! this rubber lets the ball dig in deep and produces a lot of top spin. 3 thumbs up!...more updates later...

I have been playing with Tech for about a month now on one of Charlie's off- carbon blades and I've played great with it. I can brush loop and I can loop-drive as well. My blocks and control have been great and the spin seems to be more than the jp03 or m3 I used to use, at least it seems that way to the people I play with.

@sspark80, I'm using the Tech on my FH on my spareblade. Playing with Rhyzm 375 and 425, I got used to playing with rubbers without (much) catapult. Rhyzm Tech has definitely more catapult, so I had to adjust my strokes a bit. On backhand it's a bit too jumpy, but it's a good rubber for my forehand. My topspins became more difficult for my opponents. 

375 is a lot softer and slower compared to 425. I like it as it allows me to create heavy topspin on underspin (or backspin) pushes. My game is based on well placed heavy topspin. Smashes or contra are definitely NOT in the comfort-zone of the 375 and the 425 is the better rubber for that for sure.

Thanks for the helpful feedback, p1ngp0ng3r and Snakefish.  It sounds like 425 is still the best fit for my game.

I haven't played with the classic Rhyzm, so can't commend on this rubber.
