For me
Rubber-Stiga Boost TC and by this statement also Boost TP is the most durable rubber I have ever played. It has lasted me over 3 months playing 4 times a week and is still very very good I expect to get another good month out of it before any major performance drop. In comparison tenergy last me 2 months and my old speed glued rubbers I would change every month. Blade- Butterfly Kong Linghui I think this is a copy of the avalox p500? I had an old one in my drawer and slaped my blue wale and tc on it and wow was it good handle is perfect for my hand. Felt like a slower harder clipper with more control and not so thick which I really liked. I am thinking about picking up a second. |

@Zhibin
I know u r very good young player so any regular all woods in ur hand becomes lethal arsenal. Yeah...nvr heard/seen any 1 here talk abt this reg. Bty KLH. Ppl always talk abt the latest/greatest ZLC/ZLF or whatever.
I know a teen here (2000+) who is so good these days n he's just using a beat up 5 yr old OC CR, very light one. Dunno what rbrs tho'....

There are so many factors to how long you can use some new generation rubbers. The most important thing is the kind of glue you use. Stick with the water based glue from the same brand is the best idea. They test the effect of glue on their rubbers, and it is some kind of guerntee that the rubbers wont get damaged fast.
I have heard Butterfly Tenergy has durability. I would agree with that.
I have seen players using XIOM Omega III, II and ZETA for months. Then there are people put regular glue (and boosters, speed glue also) on some of these rubber and complain that their rubber is broken.
I have not tried Stiga Boost TC - something I will do this year.

boost TC is now what im using ....i think it is amazing for my forhand, but not so good for backhand( to much dwell time i think)
and speaking of underrated i think tenergy 05 is overrated.....i was using 05 on my backhand for a month now and got really use to it, i really like some things about it, mainly the spin...the only notable quality!....but i switched back to platin soft just to see...and wow, i'm glad i did. i was way more consistant in all areas of backhand..but especially return of serve was way easier.....i say the trade off for a little less spin was way worth it for me sorry i went i little off topic here...i might start another post on if tenergy is overrated |

Yeah, I agree, Boost Tc has an awesome durability compared to let's say, Xiom Zeta, which is pretty poor. Donic platin also has durability.
I don't really have any ideas of any underrated rubber or blade, as I don't know rubbers and blades that have only negative feedbacks. |

I have been using Boost TC since the start of the season(Sept)
1st sheets lasted me till Xmas(4months)(on everage I play 3 times a week)
Black sheet didn't look and play to bad.
But the Red sheet had bits missing round the edges.
But still played OK
Since Jan I have started using Red on the FH and Xiom Omega III Asian on the BH.
The Red Boost TC is already starting to damage round the edges.
But I still think its a brilliant rubber.
In April when I get some new Boost I might try Black on the FH instead.
Xiom Omega III Asian still looks like new in Black.

@ttman: can you really classify TC as an underrated rubber given the very lengthy thread we had of it earlier?
As for blades, I would say the Galaxy (yin-he) M-6, slower softer, higher arc clipper with more control (kinda like the Kong I suppose :P) |

Amen. Many of the new generation rubbers are DESIGNED for water glue; adding speed glue or boosters or even plain old rubber cement plus thinner can loosen the topsheet or encourage cracking/splitting/breakage. |

t05 i glued the hell out of it, stretched the hell out of it to see how far it could go.
IT IS DURABLE, loses its topsheet contact grip at about 3 months of glueing. Mine was in a constant state of mild glue efffect since i reglued onto so many different blades.
When donic tell you not to use voc i suggest people to follow the warning and understand that this product is going to last a week or two.
