Butterfly Zyre 03 vs TSP New Magnet

Post by Semnerty »

I heard that the top sheet of Zyre 03 is very thin
This is to accommodate for the high 2.7 mm sponge thickness

Reminded me of the top sheet for TSP New Magnet rubbers from the 38 mm ball era

TSP New Magnet came in 2 versions
TSP New Magnet D ( D was for drive)
TSP New Magnet C ( C was for chop)

This came around late 80s or early 90s I am not sure
TSP also had the much better known TSP 730 in many versions , one of the stickiest rubbers EVER

I tried only New Magnet C
The top sheet was very thin
Sponge was slower but live
It was extremely easy to block with it because of this
And since the top sheet was very sticky almost like 730 , it was also easy to chop hard.

I could block better than almost any rubber other than 729 TackSpeed 2000
But both these rubbers were very similar and sticky and sort of slow.

TackSpeed 2000 was EXTREMELY popular especially in China

So I am sort of confused about Zyre 03 as to what it is for

So if the top sheet is so thin, then is it more of a control rubber and not a power rubber , even with 2.7 mm sponge?

I was wondering the same thing'
If it would then be a good forehand chopping rubber for modern combo defenders

I'm sorry I think not good to chop, Zyre 03 lacks of grip, isn't a grippy nor sticky rubber.
