 Comments:

            This is a Chinese inverted classic, fast and hard with control. The ball has less dwell time with 729-2 making it hit harder and faster, cutting into the spin slightly, this rubber is ideal for counter hitters and can easily generate offence and spin, great for all-around play with an emphasis on attack. This is basically the same as the original 729-2 rubber. It is very good for hard hitting.
