Friendship 729FX rubbers

The PingSkills Rook

You Asked

Jeff and Alois,

What's your opinion on the cheap Friendship 729FX rubbers out of China?  I'm not sure what they go for now, but they were selling for $5 a sheet in the USA last year and I've been very happy with them.  What is it that the classic rubbers (like the Yakasa Mark V and the Butterfly Sriver) offer that the Chinese rubbers don't?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

The only difference is the feel.  The Chinese rubbers tend to be harder with a tackier surface.  If you like the feel of them then you have a good cheap option.

They are a good quality rubber.
