| I am a happy camper with Mantra M on my Killerspin Diamond CQ but my friend is contemplating Rozena on BH and FH, also on his Diamond CQ. Has anyone tried out both rubbers on an Off- blade? If so, I would you say they compare in feeling, spin, speed, and control? Thanks (from both of us)! |

very different rubbers, the mantra M has a lower catapult, lower arc and it's less responsive. The Rozena has a nicer feel to it although it's slower, the arc feels more natural.

When rozena came out I played with it for an hour on a BTY Hadraw, just enough to make my conclusion that there are many other rubbers which I've tried before and they did exactly the same or better as the rozena and meanwhile being so much cheaper. I don't want to say it is a bad rubber, it is a rubber without a particular character. I am using mantra h for quite some time and since a week mantra m and I am pretty happy with both. All those comparisons are so subjective ------------- Hallmark Carbon Extreme (x3) FH: D05/G1/RX BH: Z2/D64/Ω7Pro |

| I agree that comparisons are very subjective. I'm a long time Tenergy user myself so I am used to it's feeling. Rozena feels like a tamed down tenergy. The mantra feels very different. I wouldn't say it's bad. Definitely better than the airoc series. |

Call me romantic, but I miss the feeling of my T64 with the old ball... ------------- Hallmark Carbon Extreme (x3) FH: D05/G1/RX BH: Z2/D64/Ω7Pro |
