Anyone knows the approx weight diff between a japanese/euro rubber to chinese? I know it depends on the rubbers/thickness/topsheet but on average how significant each rubber would be to your blade?

If you took an average off all, I think you would fine one to be about 10g heavier than the other on a cut sheet.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

I agree with Cole, the difference in weight between the more heavier Chinese and normal euro/jap rubbers is about 10 grams a sheet. However like you said yourself it completely depends on the thickness and even more, the hardness of the sponge. There are Chinese rubbers that are way lighter than the most european/japanese rubbers.

10 g is significantely lighter but also dont we have to consider the amount of glue used to prime the rubber?
 
i mean the plasma rubbers dont need any priming and compared with a H3 with tons of glue, wouldnt it be much more than 10g?

I realized that...

With H3 Provincial on my fh, I cant seem to find a balanced rubber so the racket does not feel too heavy on the head or overall
 
even with Plasma's the racket feels heavy
 
since there are so many ppls using H3 Provincial on fh... I wonder if they dont find the racket too heavy...
 
The Hurricane King and Oh Sang Eun got similar head size with should be the average...
 
any suggestions for a bh rubber? or what are the lightest rubbers around with good control and spin?

I have H3-P on the Korbel and I find it just perfect. I believe it's because of the balance because it feels heavier on my bt555

In terms of weight is there a big difference between:

Innova Ultra Light
Hammond Pro Alpha
Mark V GPS

all in 2.0 mm

I heard those are among the lightest rubbers out there suitable for bh
