I used agents like 86daigou and panli but they are all Chinese only. May be you need a China friend around you to help buying. They take paypal so transaction is secure and smooth.

Basically you can add everything you want from different sellers to your cart. Check out and see how much you needed to pay for the items and local postage then settle by paypal. They will order for you and advise when your items are ready. You can keep buying this way until you decide when it is enough to ship. There are many options for shipping but don't expect anything cheap especially when it is a few kg. Pay the balance and wait for delivery. There are many restrictions shipping from China like liquid and batteries so you have to ask before buying those items.

Turbo Z, now that you have mentioned tornado I have both the orange and blue sponge versions. the blue sponge versions are new and are also in medium hard and medium soft hardness. I have yet to test them since they only arrived yesterday. The orange version sponge of both corbor and tornado rubbers are very light. The blue sponge version is heavier. The tornado like mark v regular and the corbor feels like sriver fx for both orange sponge versions.


The new Reactors are interesting. They are all updated to deal with 40+ balls. Looking forward to your review.

Received two sheets of cKylin today. They do not have the porous sponges like yogi's.





Weighing both in the package, black was 2.3 grams heavier



Not porous.... Unhappy


63.8 grams uncut


Grainy topsheet with sheen.

the Corbor Blue sponge is a surprise and it is very good. The Tornado seems to have a very low throw and I have misses when spinning. It hits the net occasionally. Both with blue sponges have a marginal increase in speed. Both have medium hard and medium soft sponges. I think im going with corbor blue sponge next time for my next order.

I see they have upgrade their rubbers with new design to suit 40+ balls but keeping the old names. I think they come with sponge other than blue as well.

So yogi mentions corbor and tornado with blue sponges. But as you see in the pics I added above, yellow and orange sponges are pictured with the new packaging.

I am afraid the blue sponge Corbor and Tornado are just like what YB said about CKylin which he is the only one having it now.

wait wait wait, I thought the new version of the Ckylin is the Blue Phoenix? Or is that an older version as well. I want to get the updated big pore sponge version.

Tornado has blue sponges for few years. 
The white package Corbor says "Professional training rubber". The yellow package Tornaro says "multi purpose rubber" , the blue package CKYLIN says "My little blue fire". I think CKYKIN is not Corbor

Yogi, tThis might be imcomparable but how MX-P compared to the 3 new reactor mid-hard blue sponge rubbers?

Are any of them non-tacky and grippy like MX-P?
