It's not going to be nearly as fast as bryce, but it's faster than, say, h3 or cream mrs.

Well, at this point what higher I'm getting are stuff I have to pay for (to resell).  So I can't really give it away.  But if you want I'll sell one sheet at a discount and you can come back and tell us what you think.

i have a friend from china he says that 729 in china is more tackier than 729 selling in other country. he seen my 729 test it even is just merely a year and i care the rubber very well. with protective plastic sheet but he say if he could bring his own bat from china he will show me the difference. another 10 more days his bat will arrive. :)

*China guy in my college. i can practice with them to improve myself:) and one china girl really cute hahaha small size with pink face.

RITC's website says the higher is most suitable for backhand play, but i'm using it on my forehand and its gd enough to win me over from using national h3. serivce return is as good as the national h3.

when the normal sriver is unglued, its speed is slower than Higher in my opinion. And pleaseeeeee, Bryce is agreed by almost everyone to be the one of the fastest unglued rubber in the market. So of course Higher is slower than Bryce!

I can tell you I asked tom at zeropong the same question, faster on esn was the faster topsheet on a soft but very heavy german socalled tensor sponge which is the same sponge used in andro revolution ect,  it weighs about 50 grams a cut sheet, the new faster on trancend sponge is about the same softness execpt lighter and in his opionion plays much better.

Well, the faster on esn sponge is going to be better for one thing only.  That's backing up and power looping from mid distance.  Otherwise the version on trancend will be better in pretty much every category.

Check out my post on the higher transcend I got in today.

Needs glue if you aren't using a hard blade.

Yeah, it's just the traditional 729 on orange.  Nothing special.  Just a remarket.  Still a very popular rubber in china.  Kind of a sriver over there.

729 faster ESN feels great. The fact is that it's heavy. I'm not sure if I want to invest another 14 bucks on transcend faster. It'd be great if I could actually test it.

Also the esn faster I think is a better forehand rubber, it doesn't have as good dwell time so I prefer something with a soft topsheet that allows the ball to sink in for looping on the backhand

it's true that the top sheet is soft. However, I don't like my forehand sponge to be that soft. Plus, 729 faster doesn't give me that great grippy feeling.

But thanks for your kind advice. I'll hit some with my forehand today and see how I feel.

Okay. I'll try higher since it's relatively cheaper compare to Jap/Euro rubbers.

It's this one on zeropong.com right?

I'm still confused. I checked some other CHinese sites. They all said 729 Higher and Faster are both using tenion technology on their rubber. So I don't really get it. All I'm saying is that I don't know who to believe as I've no clue.

Hope someone has actually tried it can tell me.

Appreciate y'all help

729 FX on blue sponge (it's one of the cross series) makes a loud noise and extremely spinny and easy to loop when is glued, but i had trouble cutting the sponge for some reason.
