Hey Alois and Jeff, 

I want to know what kind of test do you do to know how grippy the rubber is and how good it generates spin, without the usage of a table.

Thanks!

Hi Cloud,

I just rub my finger lightly across the rubber.  If it feels grippy then it will be able to grip the ball as well.

Thanks coach, i've also seen forcing the ball across a bat in sideways and it does spin, but I guess the basic thing also works though.

Well, thanks, but you know what, after I cleaned the rubber last night, I the grip got back! I'm so happy but then just in a few weeks, I'm going to find myself a good pile of rubbers, just like the Friendship 729. I've heard the rest of their other good kinds inclined with the 729, like Geo Spin Tacky, Cream, and Dr. Evil. But I'm also hoping to find Butterfly Tenergy rubbers or maybe even a hotshot on DHS. Thanks for the advice, cause I lost a tournament because my rubber lost its grip, and this time, I'll be renewing things straight!
