	Donic Coppa JO Platin I personally like the donic coppa jo platin due to the bounce speed off of loops and serves. The speed is amazing on this rubber. I use this on both sides and my balls fly! The spin is also a factor, this spin can due a nasty loop and a very nasty serve. Reviewed by AK500 on April 20, 2009
	Palio Macro Era Just got this rubber and it seems to be a great rubber for looping. I is very consistent on its pushing and can create quite a bit of spin on the serve. Although the sponge is marked at 47.5 degrees, it feels a lot softer than that. It is very fast and is super easy to loop from mid distance. Blocking was easy and consistent. The click is very loud if that makes a difference for you. Comparing it to the platin, it first impression is that this is faster, yet I felt like I could control it better. The spin is very comparable as well as the control, however it is nice that it is about $10 cheaper, if you are looking for a tensor this is good choice. Reviewed by ponm27 on April 20, 2009
	Butterfly Tackifire Special-Soft A very good rubber. Great spin , great speed and good control. Reviewed by scrappy_coco on April 18, 2009
	Tibhar Phantom X This blade is expensive but worth it if you want a blade with speed and style. I love the 9 ply carbon blade. I have a straight handle and the blade isn't too heavy for 9 ply. The weight really depends on the rubber you put on it. But you need to put fast stuff if your going to buy this blade. It's made for speed. Reviewed by AK500 on April 20, 2009
	LKT Instinct I'm using the Instinct +. Its a great blade with speed and spin. The handle did fall off once, and glued it back and no problems after that. Great blade for the money. Regular instinct is too slow for me. Reviewed by jeran on April 20, 2009
	LKT Instinct My first blade .Although a little slow , it is great for beginners. Great price/performance. Reviewed by scrappy_coco on April 18, 2009
