External Review for RITC 729 FX Super Soft on April 19, 2014

Ok, I've played with this rubber long enough to give decent review about this rubber (both black and red).

First, apart from the stamp, the black and red didn't feel like the same rubbers at all. Black is tacky, and red is not tacky. Not less tacky, but not tacky at all.

Red has low gears, black doesn't. With drop shot, you can pinpoint where exactly you want the ball to be with red, but for some strange reason, I can't do the same with black. With the exact same reason, red is much much better at flicking over the table. Even backspin ball is so much easy to flick with red, just like flicking poly ball (and I'm playing with celluloid ball during the time of this review).

Both can do decent push and keep it low.

Looping away from the table with red also have lots of "feel" than with black, although both can do the job right. Again, looping backspin with red is so much easier than with black.

Driving with red feels so nice and sharp. Didn't bother to drive with black, mainly because black is tacky.
I think what makes red and black so different is the "feel" you got in red. This "feel" makes you have total control in your strokes, which is a very good thing for me. I'd rather have rubber with full control than with full spin or speed. I'm playing penhold, and currently using 729 FX super soft RED in FH.

Basing on my positive view about this super soft, I tried 729 FX lightening. Bad idea. 729 FXLightening, even the red one, didn't have the "feel" that makes 729 FX super soft red difference.

Because this is a cheap rubber, there is a huge possibility that their quality control is very poor, so one 729 FX super soft can vary greatly with another 729 FX super soft. It is also possible that I got bad black rubber, or got a special one of a kind red one.
