I wish to have money to buy Butterfly rubbers such as Tenergy and Dignics, i bought them few times in the past and they all wore off except one, so i can't keep buying them although they are my favorite, so i try to think about alternatives that good, mainly for my forehand really, i keep thinking about DHS Hurricane or Tibhar MX-P, can't decide between both, i feel that i want to go with DHs rubber as someone said it is a natural fir to DHS blades which i have, and seeing Chinese players playing with them regardless how original or fake we buy those.
What is wrong with you my friend ? Even if you are a wealthy Sheik or something , you should not waste your time with European / Japanese rubbers.
or at least advanced players) They are designed for Pro players who have the perfect technique & the need to play with them. Amateurs do not have the proper technique and these European / Japanese spinverted rubbers are almost like anti spin in the hands of an amateur.
And most European pips rubbers break too soon & this is by design (called planned obsolescence)
Most amateurs basically use these rubbers to look cool if they are functionally useless rubbers.
Don' be vain & pretentious and submit to peer pressure . All you need is a 99 cent Yinhe Mercury 2. Always try only as many Chinese blades & rubbers & if you develop into a good player later you can always have these European / Japanese companies sponsor you & give you free rubbers & you can have lots of tabletennis groupies craving for your attention, asking for your autograph near their private parts & passing you their hotel room keys etc.

BTW I am not a big fan of Chinese products per se nut I do not want to get involved with the global politics of unfair trade practices etc and I know once in a while I may get crappy Chinese rubber or other products but i am willing live with it
