Customer review for RITC 729 729-5

External Review for RITC 729 729-5 on February 12, 2013

Hardness Black 42 / Red 45. Weight seems medium-heavy.

Rubber is very slightly tacky when new. The ball will only stick to it slightly. The amount of spin reduces quite quickly with use so after only about 10 hours of use it is very reduced. Although the sponge is medium-hard, the rubber feels quite soft.

Quite fast and spin is good but less than tacky rubbers. Also a good level of control.

Throw angle I found to be medium-high.

Blocking was OK, but lacked som bounce due to the harder sponge.

Pushing and chop serves were OK for control but spin was not heavy due to lack of tacky surface. Still good compared to most rubbers though.

Attacking felt good with this rubber with good pace and control. Spin could have been heavier with tackier rubber, but a very good rubber for the price. It played more like a medium sponge than medium-hard or hard. Feels quite heavy.

My ratings:
Speed: 8.4; Spin: 8.0; Control: 8.7
Tackiness: Slightly tacky; Throw Angle: Medium
Weight: Medium-heavy; Sponge Harness: Medium-hard; Gear: Above average gears
Durability: Lasts longer than average; Consistency: Always identical
Overall: 8.4
