Description of DHS Skyline TG2

Skyline TG (Technology Generation) 2. Control+Spin. Spin or not, strong or weak, delicate change in blink. Skyline 2 rubber made with new technique brings fresh experience of loop with quick-attack. Colloid combined with acerbity and glutinosity has distinguished friction, which is completely different from Chinese traditional rubbers and can create powerful and changeable spin. Power and energy would break out continually for unique pimple structure and elastic colloid so that changeful spin is more steady and threatening. Representative: Ma Lin.

Reviews of the DHS Skyline TG2

Review haggisv said this on March 9, 2008:

This rubber in great in 1.5mm, with outstanding control and accuracy for blocking and hitting, which is where my high control rating comes from. The tacky surface allows you to generate very good spin on serves easily.

In 2.2mm it's not bad for looping, but the sponge feels a little firm, which makes it better for hitting/driving. If you glue it up it becomes much better for looping and is very spinny.

One of the best...
Review gekogark1212 said this on April 12, 2009:

Feels like a dead sheet of H3 (commercial). The topsheet is a lot less tacky than say, a brand new sheet of H3 (commercial)... and about the same as the provincial.

Speed is just terrible. Especially flat hitting/countering. That characteristic "plack plack" sounds from Chinese rubbers is pronounced. When loop driving, the rubber regains a bit of speed, but still slower than H3 and a LOT less spinny.

Works better on a soft 5-ply all wood. But seriously I doubt Ma Lin would be using this topsheet even on some magic sponge.
Review loopy_newbie said this on August 6, 2009:

I've been playing with this rubber for a month now (2 Tourn) on a BFLY Schlager C, and it reminds me of another DHS type; the Hurricane 2....except with a tiny bit less tack and a tiny bit softer sponge. So it has a little less control than the H2, but just a tad more speed (which isn't much). It's not a pre-madonna or anything, but if you enjoy using 'spinny-control' rubbers, you should definitely try it out//

well i just tried this oine and the TG3 and i will put if very mildly , its a waste of money...........

because : here the rubber dictates your playing style, only suited for offense and even while playing offense there is no feeling because the sponge is so f...ing hard.

when i play lees good players i like to let them play, so they also enjoy playin,g, but with this rubber i have no control and in defense or in allround mode its very hard to be effective.
and in offense, well its good but no feedback from rubber.

i previously enjoyed friendship/fx and mark V and may other rubbers.

next i'll try a tenergy

I had tested many rubbers, and this is only rubber I like for my forhand. You need to tune this rubber to achieve the best spin and speed.

I would like to rate this rubber:

Spin: 10. No any rubber can beat the spin from Skyline 2 based on my playing experience with other people in my club!

Speed: 9.5. It is very fast rubber after tuning.

Control 9.5.

However if one does not tune this rubber, I do not think it is a good rubber due to hard sponge + hard topsheet.

probada haber si era mejor la la Hurricane3 ,y he de decir que no´es mejor , decepcion con esta goma. menos efecto y control que la H3. aunque mas ligera. Prefiero las Friendship Ritc 729 oem , en general . las globe 999 y nacional . y Reactor corbor y Thunder roja .stiga Magna tc.
Review Mr. Leitz said this on September 30, 2011:

The speed is very slow. It comes from the hard sponge and the tacky surface, which almost stopps the ball.
But you can benefit from the hard sponge in blocking. To block fast or loop balls from you opponent it feels very slow and you got a good control.
Loop are just terrible. You have to work very hard for loops, because the hard sponge don't allow you to have "the catapult effect".

so in my opinion:
block and serve are good.
the loops and hits are terrible.

I've played with this rubber for over a year on my cpen FH. So I'd like to share my thoughts

Speed: the faster you swing, the faster it goes
Spin: Loads of spin. I found it easy to generate and keep adding on even in faster topspin rallies. You can also chop really good with this. Also very good for serves. Think Ma Lin.
Control: playing passive and letting the blade/rubber do the work is a no-no. You have to play active strokes. For me, this is the easiest of the DHS rubbers to control even at high speeds. I like doing 3rd/5th ball attacks and this rubbers a wonder for that. Short game is extremely good - i can execute drop shots, flips, pushes with easy. Though keep in mind the tack does hurt a bit when receiving serves but that's why you work on that so it doesn't effect you as much.
Throw angle: I found myself able to execute loops like H2 and like H3(just not as high). It depends on the stroke you play.

Summary: For me this is a joy to play with because I can do absolute anything with confidence that my shot will land on the table. It's pretty hard to bottom out since what you put into it is what it will produce though some people don't like that.
