Stealing Servio's lay out because I can't think one of my own

Setup:
Blade - Nittaku Acoustic
FH rubber - Dawei Saviga 40 degrees 2.2
BH rubber - Joola Green Energy 2.0
Glue - NONE
Ratings out of 10.

First I have to say I haven't played for a while, so the session started quite bad. Luckily later I got the feeling back and played good again.

Topspin: 9
Also stealing the ratings . Haha no but topspin with this rubber was quite a pleasure. It didn't feel very spinny but my opponent had trouble bringing them back. It had a very nice lowisch arc, kind of like the bryces but I like this better.

Hitting: 6.5
Well I don't do this often but you had to hit with an open bat and with a forward motion because of the low arc. Not used to that though .

Smashing: 11
What's with this I can smash with every rubber so I can't feel a difference with other rubbers =/.

Pushing: 7.5
Pushing was ok. It didn't pop up like my Energy GP Max did, so that's a plus. Keeping short was simple. Only thing was pushes weren't very spinny. BTW I give it a 7.5 because I don't like pushing .

Blocking: 7
Never been a good blocker. Blocking was a lot easier with my EGP. Again I had to keep my bat open to get them over the net, and then they still fall down just behind the net. You needed to make a stroke if you wanted to block long.

Serving: 7
I think I am used to serving with EGP max (with was VERY bouncy). Because of this I landed many service in the net. I just have to get used to it though.

Counter driving: 9
Lol this was a piece of cake. Took them right of the bounce and they ALL went on the table!

Feel: 7.5
Well first I found it quite hard, despite it being 40 degrees. After playing with it for a while it felt a bit softer and thus better for me . Also it isn't bouncy, but still very fast on faster strokes, exactly what I was looking for my FH. Doesn't have the tensor feel, also doesn't feel like a glued rubber.

Also my BH was superb today! Except that was EGP not Saviga .

Nice, really interesting. I am now waiting for mine which is somewhere in the air between Australia and Belgium.

Yeah it is really a good rubber, I think you will like it especially if you are used to a low throw.

Thanks for the review dwie!

Yes the tacky rubbers i always find the best for serves and pushes, but it sounds like this is a good euro style rubbers.

I realised how bad this review was, but at least it gives an impression of the saviga. Will edit it later if I have played with it more .

I wasn't joking when I said that this really must be an interesting rubber^^

No it's not because of you, just got the feeling I didn't give enough information . BTW added you on msn .

Hey guys.

Thanks for the reviews on the Saviga rubber. I have the feeling that very similar to 729 Highpoint.

729 Highpoint is surprisingly good for serves. Well, I have it on backhand and it serves way better than Joola tango does with much ease. Compared to my chinese stuff it really is good considering it is A euro rubber.

It is not so good for pushes like you guys sorta touched on but not bad also. Easily controllable say compared to a Joola Tango.

I am really curious about the Saviga and Inspirit rubber and thanks for reviews. I am on msn and please pm me as I'd love to add you guys to my msn if you have (I know u don't have Alex) .

Unfortunately I don't order the Saviga (otherwise I would have for a complete year to test eveything) but I will soon test the Inspirit on a Tibhar COS3 (defensive blade).
