varnish is really essential to protect your blade. i used this varnish back when vocs were not illegal, but i can not be sure wheter this has them or not. one of my blades sealed with this passed a VOC test, maybe after long periods of exposure the vocs will all evaporate out.

this is a good rubber for people with a slow offensive game. at first feeling, it is very very very soft, with avery elastic and absorbant sponge. it is very good for controlling the ball. for exmaple, you cna block very well, the ball sinks into the rubber very well. but for looping, i feel it is not fast enough. it is very hard to loop underspin balls i felt. also, the loops did not have much momentum, just did not feel good. maybe if you use with a hard, heavy blade, it might work out, i used with a mizutani. but it is not for very good players because it is soo soft.

China’s Zhang Yining and Guo Yue retain the respective top two places on the Women’s World Ranking list published by the International Table Tennis Federation on Wednesday 4th November 2009.
No doubt when selecting the players for national representation, those two names would be the first to be listed on the team sheet.

To sum it up in a few words: nice aesthetic appeal, crapy functionality

Magna is similar to a Chinese rubber, very hard and tacky, but faster. With speed glue, it can generate incredible spin and moderate speed. It is good for short game because it isn’t bouncy or springy. Serves are also very spinny because of the tacky topsheet. But, without speed glue, it’s much worse, still good spin but too hard and slow.

One of the best rubber for spin and speed. Serves are also very spinny with T05. But I found it’s hard to control this monster. It’s not very tolerant and the ball can land anywhere, out of the table or into the net, when you make just a slight mistake. Short game is not good, but not bad, either. Smash and loopdrive are super hard to control, perhaps because of the “spring sponge”. Very durable, I’ve played mine for 4 months now and it is still in good condition. I think this rubber is better for a control-loop game, like Timo Boll’s.
