The fastest inexpensive chinese rubbers

Reactor Tornado is the fastest.(  of water base glue rubbers)

this one at 48 degrees & $9.90:

yes. reactor tornado is extra cheap, extra fast and extra spinny. Not best durability, but who cares for the price?

If you list Outlaw, you should put Pride and Strike in too... Pride is as fast as Outlaw, but Pride is not very spiny...
How fast is Tornado compare to outlaw? Never try Tornado myself. I only bought pride because it's so cheap... :))

Is Outlaw faster than LKT Red Diamond?

Is Gambler Outlaw suitable for backhand and how does it perform away from the table?

Can you compare the spin of the Outlaw with another rubber?

Outlaw, Inspirit Quattro

Going to throw my hat into the ring here.  

Is Gambler Outlaw relatively light? And is it faster than any Reactor?

none of LKT rapid rubber is really fast.
Inspirit quattro ;) I saw different sheets. Its speed is very dependent on topsheet thickness. But even the thinniest topsheet does not produce extra speed, but it is nice. Thicker topsheets are sloooow. I think I used to put around 5 layers of speedglue on it.

I doubt there is cheaper and faster rubber than reactor tornado.  (I had 40 degree version, there are softer available as well). The similar speed can be found among harder BW2 sheets.

729-5 is quite slow, it works great with even 1 layer of speedglue, but with water glue, it is not good=fast.
Among chinese rubbers, there are plenty rubbers of zero speed to medium speed, but the fast rubbers, they are rare. Generally fast for chinese rubber means hard sponge.

Oh, palio HK around 42 deg. is slow ;) Even AK47 with 50degrees is slow.

It seems, that I think that all chinese rubbers are very slow rubbers. But there are few of them, which are good.
The biggest problem is  trying all the new rubbers and coming from these fastest japanese/german rubbers back to common chinese rubbers. The contrast is enormous.
