I have many questions because I'm a noob when it comes to blades/rubbers so please, bear with me =(

1. Wich rubbers are like this? tacky, hard and tensor (or any other technology that compensates for the lack of speed glue)

2. I've found out about those "Reactor" rubbers, where can I find more info on them? where can I buy them? (internationaly, since I'm from Panama, or at least send to USA, since there are companies that have P.O. boxes over there)

3. I have recently bought a Waldner senso carbo v1 blade (for testing purposes), are these types of rubber good on this blade? what types of rubber goes well with this blade?

I've always liked chinese hard/tacky rubbers (TG3, H3), but I was wondering about new chinese rubbers for the water glue era and wanted to try them too =)!... Thanks in advance Smile!

Oh... really?, I thought that Reactor Thunder rubbers where something like that, since I've read that it is something like a hurricane 3 with speed glue.
 
anyways, what about my other questions =D?

The tacky rubbers can generate top spin from its top sheet. The XIOM ZETA is one of such TENSOR BIOS rubber - liked by Chinese players mostly. The Asian version of ZETA is hard.
 
The sponge hardness of various XIOM rubbers can be found here.

There are some answers i can provide.

1) Xiom Zeta might be hard by tensor / eurojap standard, but it is still soft compared to ur H3 and such. Especially if your H3 is ard the standard 38 degrees. If thats the hardness you are looking for, might not satisfy you.

2) Chinese rubbers with glue effects are generally limited. The Hadou Biotech might be your best bet for something designed to suit a tacky hard rubber and don't require glue. Thats strictly a personal opinion though..

Palio Speed Tension

http://cgi.ebay.com/Palio-Tension-Tech-Pips-In-Rubber-Sponge-CJ8000-Speed_W0QQitemZ250350206670QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPing_Pong?hash=item250350206670&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

cheap.
fast.
tacky.

works really well on a slow, flexible ALL or ALL- blade.
loads of gears.
clean it with water.
durable.

capable of producing faster shots than standard Mark V or Sriver, with loads more spin.

can spin with the topsheet (for serves, pushes and loops)
can spin with the sponge (for hard hits, blocks and power loops)

i really don't see a downside to this rubber.

it plays like a chinese rubber on crack.
