Which one is more grippy or tacky? and generates more spin?
any good reviews? How are they compared to: - Yasaka New Era Spin - Butterfly Sriver G2 FX - TSP Xs F1 21 - TSP Real - Donic Sonex JP Gold in terms of spin? for BH |

By the way, neither zeropong nor I have highpoint. I guess it's not available right now.

In terms of speed...
I think Inspirit Quattro Lights and highpoint should be about the same |

Highpoint will be faster.. IQ will be more spinny..
I haven't got the UL, but my Quattro can generate much more spin in my loop than Highpoint.. Highpoint is good for flat hit and blocking.. Depends on your style.. If you have the X's F1, i'll be sticking to that for BH. great BH rubber.. |

It's a very grippy rubber that can produce good spin and good control too.. works well for pushing and flicking.
That is why it is a good BH rubber, for opening up play.. if you are a FH oriented player that is.. |

It may just be a coincidence but many distributors that carry Donic do not have F2 either right now. Maybe Highpoint being compared (or in part a duplicate) to the F2 is not really far off.

If you like to loop with backhand etc actually you need to be of a moderately high level to use X's F1. I have friends who definitely cannot master it with its soft sponge and looping back topspin with the backhand is much more difficult with it than lets say.. sriver. Dragonkid must be pretty good then  |

I can give IQ UL a good review, I'm really happy with this rubber.
Just put a fresh sheet of IQ UL 40 degree 2.0 red on my YEO backhand, no tuning or anything like that, it feels and plays really nicely! The spin on IQ UL is great - both the sponge + grippy topsheet create spin. This rubber has a lot of bite. Short game is excellent. Service excellent (for backhand serves, in my case). Pushes are easy to keep low and my opponents were having a lot of trouble attacking them last night. With a robot I can also loop over the table with this rubber easily. When looping and countering, speed is good and all my shots have a lot of spin. Looping topspin off the bounce is very easy with this rubber - cock the wrist back just slightly lower than the height of intended contact, brush across the ball and you get a nice arc every time. These are all the things I need from a backhand rubber and IQ UL delivers nicely. To compare: I tried G2 FX a while back and couldn't get a lot of spin out of that rubber (I was using it untreated / unglued). Glue effect rubbers from Donic have great spin for certain but I think IQ UL can match it, or if its less, only marginally so. IQ UL wins over JO Silver (the glue effect rubber from Donic that I've used the most) in the short game department dramatically for certain, at the expense of some speed. |

Well some equipment work for some, some don't.. it depends on one style too.. it is a good rubber, underrated IMO. My BH is mainly push, flick, block, sometimes loop. Open up then switch the body to play FH to finish up.. So not really looking into loop to loop rally on the BH.. switching to Inspirit on the BH nowadays..
How true.. fast rubbers will tend to be hard to control in short game.. |
