this was one of the first blades i have ever used. i used to use this with hurricane 3 on fore hand side and hammond on the back hand side (back when speed glue is still alowed) i think it is a decent blade, but more for beginning players not as good for advanced n professional players because it is not a very fast blade. iut worked well with hurricane for me when i was a beginner because i could loop very good but still control the ball. with teh backhand on hammond, i looped kind of slow and spinny, and i could block very well on both sides. if you are under USATT rating 1200, you should change to faster blade

amultart is definitely a very good blade, but it is very very pricey. i am not sure if you want to spent 150 dollars on a blade, but i you do, do not worry because you will not be disappointed! it has very good looping characteristics. the speed is not outrageous, but it is more than enough to do very good loops. the control is very good too though. this is one of my favorite blades for blocking because the ball seems to sink into the wood and carbon of this blade, a feelign i like. i found this blade is real good with bryce speed fx and tenergy 64, as over tenergy 05. it is worth trying

in my opinion, tenergy 05 is the best looping rubber to have. i like using this on amultart and mizutani blades. it is very good characteristic to loop on your forehand. it is very fast, as fast as speed glued rubbers. the topsheet is not very tacky, so it does no have max spin, but more than enough to do very deep spinny loops. the angle the ball hits off the rubber is very high, noticeably higher than most other rubbers. this makes tenergy 05 a very good rubber for looping underspin balls, because you can really lift it up and over teh net. it is okay for blocking, a little hard to control if you do not have good feeling.

tenergy 64 is a little feel like tenergy 05, but after you play with it for a long time there are some fundamental differences. overall, tenergy 64 is more of a control rubber than tenergy 05. the speed feel is a little different. tenergy 05 speed is very powerful feeling, while tenergy 64 is very quick and swift feel. it seems to stay in teh sponge of tenergy 64 a little more. there is more spin on 64 as well. the sponge holds the ball in longer. the control is good. it is easier to block with 64 and keep the balls on the table. it is very suitable with any blade and playing style.

DHS water base glue is a little different from the butterfly, stiga, andro etc water glues. it is thicker than the other glues. in terms of performance, i used on hurricane rubber, i felt it was faster compare to otehr glue but the control was not as good. for example, my looping felt more fast and powerful, but i looped the ball out of the table or into the net a lot more than usual. same with blocking, i did not feel as good grasp on teh ball. the glue takes a long time to dry, maybe 40 minutes to dry fully. it is sold at a very low price, and i feel it performs just as good.
