06/12/2023 Best rubber for loopers and penholders Review by Robby Green

Quality

This is my favorite rubber of all time. Before I found this rubber, I was using Hurricane 3. All of the characteristics of Hurricane 3 that I like, this rubber has even more. If you like Hurricane 3 I highly suggest trying this rubber -- especially if you are a penholder.

I currently use Skyline 2 on both sides when I play penhold, and I use it on my backhand (my stronger side) when I play handshake grip.

I do not boost this rubber, as I like to play with it unboosted. I am quite strong so it does not bother me to have to put in extra effort to get a fast ball. Make no mistake, when you hit the ball hard with good technique, it goes FAST. However, if you do not hit with power and correct technique, the ball will go very slow. This can be beneficial for control in the short game. It is fast when you hit fast, but slow when you hit slow.

One of the main features of this rubber is that you need to use good Chinese technique -- power comes from your legs, and you need to lightly brush the ball (rather than hit through it). In some ways this is a pro, since it reinforces good technique and makes you learn good technique quickly -- when you hit the ball correctly, you will feel it and it feels very good. However, this is also a con, since you need to make a good quality effort with every single hit. You cannot be lazy, even for a single stroke.

The spin on big loops far from the table is unparalleled. The loop-kill (Ma Lin's signature shot) is incredible -- I see why Ma Lin used this rubber. Control in the short game is amazing. Throw angle is very low (even lower than Hurricane 3).

The main thing I like about this rubber is the feeling -- the ball stays on the rubber for a long time, and you can really "pick up" the ball and "throw" it with Skyline 2. In the short game, you can "pick up" the ball and "drop" it where you want.

There is one downside of Skyline 2, which is that you can't flat hit the ball. Every stroke you make must have spin on it, it's the only way to get a consistent shot. If you try to flat hit, the ball will fly away randomly -- I think it is due to the rubber being extremely sticky.

If you do not boost this rubber and make sure to clean it, it will stay sticky and last for many months.

03/05/2019 On certain blades it might not be fast enough, spin and control is great Review by Pawel Goralski

Quality

Second sheet I've got.
Quality is superb.
This might be my last sheet of this rubber on my current blade (Hurricane Hao I), as it is not as fast of a rubber as one might need on an allwood blade.
Spin is really good and once you incorporate your lower body into your forehand shots (Chinese style) it can really shine. Further from the table on awkward shots it can get hard to get it to the opponents' side.

05/01/2015 Hard Sponge Review by aaddssss

Quality

欧版不能选硬度要了命了，估计灌透能好点。硬的有一种打胶粒的感觉，幸亏胶面黏性还不错。2.2MM的扣杀的时候勉强打透，薄摩擦完全带不住。

01/10/2014 Crazy spin but Review by zhen lu

Quality

This rubber is not linear and feels kina unique. Might need some real effort to get used to. Also works better when boosted.
