Thanks guys. I believe this rubber is a sleeper. Have a feeling many players would like it.

That's a great price. Paddle Palace sells it for 49 bucks yikes.

I really loved it when i played with it the first time on Xiom Offensive S. That was on a friends blade that I had glued for him. It was the best thing I'd ever hit with. I liked it more than tenergy. I got my own sheet eventually, and put it on a clipper. I hated it. I was so disappointed. It lacked rebound, the topsheet had no bite, and it was super slow with no feeling. I'm fairly convinced I got a dud sheet, because there's no way a rubber can be that blade dependent. I ended up putting that sheet on my own offensive S, and it wasn't at all what I remembered. I never got the guts to risk another 50 dollars to see if my suspicion was correct.  I still had hung onto it, and when I went to try it on something else it ripped right down the middle when taking it off the offensive S. Only rubber I've ever ripped at all like that. I was thinking about trying it on Defplay or VKM, because I think it would be super good at chopping, but 50 bucks is a risk if there's a chance that what I got last time comes in the package. 

I just made an order at tt-japan before coming to mytt... wish i would have saw that it was on sale, I'd have given it another try. 

looks like very soon we will see many Renanos Hold rubbers in For Sale section :)

In all my sheets I have used this year all four rubber sheets have rips on them mainly the middle. Once you are able to see the pips of your hitting zone on the bat eventually the rip will occur. It doesn't matter which rubber you use red or black it will happen to both of the sheets in my experience. Currently I am still using it and have a spare sheet I have stayed with Renanos Hold but with this problem with the topsheet I may have to look for an alternative rubber

Hey tuco, can you say something about the sponge hardness of RH? Is it as soft as C-1?

I will be giving it a try on my cypress one ply 9.5mm blade next month, if the rubber likes wood this should do it..
