I would have to agree, butterly makes better rubbers than that one, ie sriver, bryce .

I've read some good reviews about the catapult ! basically good speed/spin, slower than bryce but more controllable, faster than sriver...

v-stage works out for me

Could you compare it to mark V, XS and GPS?

I can't find the "softness" rating of yasaka rubbers, any idea which of them are soft and which are hard ?

I have used catpult before but I switched to Andro Plasma 430 max, which is a lot better. More spin, speed and control.

And you don't need to speed glue Andro Plasma 430.

sriver g2 is good for hitting, hard to create your own spin. cermet is a decent rubber i think you would be happy with it

Posted By: Timemaster
Date Posted: 07/18/2007 at 2:13pm

Why is that ? Sriver G2 is rated spinnier than cermet and srivers. Also the G2 is softer than regular sriver...

ther lieing thers no "proof" on the site what the spin is or what that even means. basically everything they say is a lie or is alterd in some way

catapult and cermet = bad not stable rubbers. Butterfly has very good brands - but not these two.

catapult and cermet - both very bad rubbers comparing to what butterfly has.

Both not stable, not too spinny not to fast, no too much controll - just without any "personality"(specialisation)

Posted By: Timemaster

So what would you suggest ? I'm hearing very controversial stuff about G2, at this point, I'm considering sticking with sriver ! I'm afraid bryce would be too fast...

Or maybe try some yasaka, but I don't have enough feedback on the mark V XS and the V stage

i say sriver el probably one of the best rubbers ever
