and VIVA forget extra expensive...

this is the first i hear of it. I am not that regular any more. Thanks for bringing it up.

Good.  Hype over.

Ofcourse it's not a magic rubber, but none of the rubbers out there is. Because the magic rubber is for everyone different. I really like Rhyzm 425 a lot and don't like T05 for example. Even I'm "your one person",  tenthousands of TT players would disagree with me. :)

Back on topic: I surely would like to know how the Rhyzm Tech compares to Rhyzm 425 and Rhyzm-P .

Looking forward to read some reviews. :)

I said the "hype" is over.  Hype is what you have before negative reality sets in. Of course the rubber may be fantastic.  

Let's see how long it takes when the first Bryce HighSpeed rubbers appear in the For Sale section ;)

+1 

To be honest i think the Tech will be a 'meh', but I feel i owe it to my Rhyzm loyalty to try it.

"...has better topsheet."..I wonder why it's better. More spin? More speed? More control?

Personally I hope the Rhyzm Tech is an upgrade for the Rhyzm 425 I'm using at this moment.

Offtopic: the TPE Fight is a bit too fast for me I'm afraid. I own a Rossi Emotion and Aruna Off (same blade) and the speed of this blade is sufficient for me.

that's disapointing news for me. 

I actually prefer soft rubbers as well and like your first impression. It looks this rubber could replace my Rhyzm 425.

Looking forward to some more opinions about this rubber! Thanks in advance guys.

P7 great rubber, played with it a couple of years.

That is the Rhyzm most important trait. Nothing else is exceptional but the ball always goes in.

However i can't see they physics of how a softer topsheet can improve control. Hope i'm wrong. My two sheets should be here any day now. 

The Original is one of the most intuitive rubbers TT world has ever made. No need to learn or adjust. Even if you get off the Tenergy 05 horse and get one of these in your hands, i tell you, you will know know how to play with Rhyzm. Nothing special, not spin, not speed, but it is just so EASY to play with it.

P is a little softer, a little spinier, and feels more elastic. Original feels more 'dead'. Elastic sounds nice and P is indeed nice rubber, but this extra 'sling' makes it more difficult to plan the trajectory of the ball. 

Tech is another step in the P direction. Softer yet. Spinier yet. And yet more elastic. If you want to try a different Rhyzm, just go for the Tech! No need to try P, it is neither here nor there. If you want dead but controlled and natural go Original. If you want soft, spiny and slingy go Tech. 

Tech WILL bottom on hard drives where the incoming/outgoing direction of the ball is near perpendicular to the plane of the blade (Zhang Chao or Yan An kind of stroke). Especially on hard blades you can feel and hear the TOK of the contact. Tech has very different sound than the other two rubbers. 

To me Tech is a good rubber of a garden variety. All of those Evolutions, Blue Fire flavors, Maxx, Tenzone offer very good spin, good catapult, and that PUFFY feeling and are easily interchangeable. Rhyzm is different, and Tenergy is different, and all XIOM are different. 

I feel i have finally lost my desire to test new rubbers. I think i can wait until a BTY comes with a real replacement for Tenergy, and I don't think Bryce Highspeed is what they have in mind.

you got it wrong. Bottoming out is actually due to superior technique. 

Unfortunately it looks like im gona have less and less time for TT, and least in the next few years, so who knows when and if im gona hit 2000. 

Hey Victor, guess you had second thoughts? ;) Or you were not talking about Rhyzm Tech?

I noticed your recent post in the For Sale section.

Seems like the Rhyzm Tech is not your cup of tea?

Yes, I have both rubbers for sale now, excellent condition, very clean both sides.

Rhyzm Tech does seem to break after initial period. Weird. Rhyzm and RHyzm P don't do that, but Tech becomes really soft after two days. Too soft, sorry. If you swing good with more than 45 degree you will hear the ball knock on the wood. They went too large with the pores in my opinion. 

Vanilla is the hardest, and offers the best control. It is also, very interestingly, the best for ZJK-style opening BH. The others are softer, but they have lower throw, and you can't grap the ball too thin, EVEN THOUGH they are softer. 

ANyway, I am sure people with softer game, control+spin oriented will like the P and Tech more, just because they offer more jump and spin at medium power. But at Hard Power, Regular just kills them.

I haven't tried the regular Rhyzm, as  I think it's a bit too hard for me. Actually prefer a bit softer rubbers, I even like the 375 ;)

I have the Tech in order and will test it next Tuesday.

Both sides 2.0mm and glued them on Infinity VPS using Rev 3, just a few hours before playing. So the fresh glue could have some effect on the rubber during the test.

I'm a two wing looper and 90% of my style is spin-offensive by using well placed loops with high amount of spin. (playing TT for about 27 years)

Although the speed is about the same as Rhyzm 425, the Tech feels faster. This is due to the catapult effect of the Tech, while the 375 and 425 have little to no catapult. Strange thing I noticed though, is that when I played defensive, there was less catapult it seems. The rubber felt slower, which I actually liked.

Tech > 425 > 375

The Tech gives a decent amount of spin on the ball, although didn't notice a lot of difference with the 375. Compared to 425 there is a bit more spin. The Tech has a medium to high throw and this caused some issues for my opponents. In several cases it looked like my loop would go over the table, but in the last part of the curve, the ball seems to decent more and lands just on the backend of the table.  I did not notice such behaviour using 375 or 425.

Tech >= 375 > 425

Used to play 375 and 425, it took my just a minute to get used to the Tech. Despite the catapult of the Tech, there is still a lot of control. Playing slow as well as fast loops, is fairly easy. As mentioned before, it seemed the catapult effect is less while playing defensive strokes. Pushing and blocking is also no problem with this rubber. However, the Tech is less forgiving compared to 375 and 425.

375 > 425 >= Tech

I'm aware of the "new-equipment-rush" when trying out new equipment the first time and I will do 2 more sessions to get a solid final conclusion on the Rhyzm Tech :)  

I actually knew people will like it more than Regular because of the catapult feel. It slings it for you. I just started liking this feeling of the ball getting stuck on the rubber and controlling it directly, vs sinking in the sponge and then slinging it out. But if someone has never played Regular, and tries both for first time, they will probably like Tech more, at least on first impressions.

Hi.  Does anyone have more impressions of Rhyzm Tech after playing it for a couple months?  

Within a few days I will receive the Samba 19 and 27, wondering how they compare to Rhyzm Tech.

I'm not trying to steer this thread away from Tech, but could you expand on a direct comparison between 375 (which I've never hit with) and 425?

Thank

The 375 and 425 however play very well with plastic ball. There is still a lot of effect in my spin and the control is even increased. The topsheet of R Tech is more elastic, so this rubber plays more dynamic. Downside is that it's a bit more sensitive for incoming spin.
