TG Skyline 2 (Double Happiness/DHS)

DHS Skyline 2 (control + spin) Skyline 2 rubber made with new technique brings fresh experience of loop with quick-attack. Colloid combined with acerbity and glutinosity has distinguished friction, which is completely different from Chinese traditional rubbers and can create powerful and changeable spin, Power and energy would break out continually for unique pimple structure and elastic colloid so that changeful spin is more steady and threatening.

The Double happiness Skyline 2 is great rubber for people who like to use a lot of spin. This rubber is kind of an alternative to hurricane, i think it can produce more spin, but is not quite as fast.

I played with this rubber with some Andro Free Glue, and it worked pretty well. I especially liked the spins of it. For example, serving was really nice. Also, chopping, and high arc spinny looping were excellent.

Considering the low price of this fantastic rubber, I highly recommend people who like to play with spin rather than speed or poewr to try it out.

This rubber is really kool at times. It gives me the opportunity to spin the ball whenever you want. I heard some people saying that this rubber is lame, but if you try this rubber out with a spin serve, you will definitely like the effect.

a very good chinese rubber. excellent for producing spinny serves, spinny loops, fast drives. Step back a bit and you'll notice the rubber isn't very good for mid-long distance looping.

The rubber has middle-hard sponge with tacky topsheet. It is very controlable for short game, but has a plenty power for spinning and smashing/hitting.
This rubber is very similar to DHS G666, but her characteristics has been shifted to side of european rubbers. The sponge is more elastic and softer than sponge of G666.
However there is a big weakness. It is durabilty. I heard it from other players and I was disappointed when bubble appeared on my rubber after one month.

This is one awesome piece of rubber. Really spinny serves and fast spinny loops. The semi-hard sponge gives it excellent control.
