- 14/04/2025 Similar to Chinese tacky rubbers Review by Mircea-Mihai Anastasiu
-
I've been using it on my fh for about 2 months. At the beginning, the rubber was medium tacky and slightly sticky. It could barely lift the ball. The sponge is very hard and dense, but the topsheet feels soft. It felt softer than the J&H Z52.5 when pressing with my fingers. This combination has a lot of advantages in my opinion. It offers great feeling and you can do slow loops without needing to engage the sponge every time, making it more forgiving compared to other very hard chinese or hybrid rubbers. Drives have medium trajectory, with a very loud clicking sound, which means it come heavily boosted. Topspins have a medium-low arc with a lot of spin and a strong kick once the ball lands on the table. It behaves very similar to H3, but much faster and longer trajectory. You need to perform full strokes and use your legs. Serves feel amazing and are loaded with spin. I can place my serves wherever I want on the table easily. Receive is also great, as you can keep the ball short, however you need to be a little cautious with your angle when you push backspin serves as they can go into the net. I assume it is because of the medium-low arc, but overall, the control is amazing. FH flicks clear the net quite easily and feel really good, even without proper technique(I suck at this) engaging the sponge. Blocks are easy to perform and have ok speed. I recommend active blocking because it absorbs a lot of energy. Durability wise, I am a bit disappointed, as the topsheet seems to be worn out already because it has huge white spots and I can see the pimples through it after only 2 months. I clean my racket after I play and I use protective films. Overall, this is a great and intuitive fh rubber for fairly advanced and fit players(you can't be lazy), with similar characteristics as Chinese rubbers, only much faster, however the durability seems questionable. I will give it another try because I really enjoy it. It feels very natural to play with it. The blade I am using is a Nittaku Septear Feel Inner.Quality - 08/04/2025 borracha de boa qualidade Review by Joaquim Barbosa

-
Great rubber. Currently using as a BH rubber in my setup. Great from off the table with loads of spin and control.Quality - 04/03/2025 Nice for backhand Review by Charbel Farah
-
Not as jelly as expected but a very decent hybrid.... Preferably used on backhand.... It can be a cool combo with yasaka dragon on forehand.Quality - 20/01/2025 Very effective on BH Review by Charbel Farah
-
Designed to have a grippy yet forgiving rubber, the sponge helps in passive as well as offensive action, on the other hand the top rubber permits to grab and catapult the ball effectively.....Quality - 08/01/2025 Good hybrid rubber but could be tackier Review by Meu
-
Nice hybrid rubber with an interesting hard sponge. The topsheet is slightly hard and with enough grip, but could be tackier if Xiom's claiming to be a chinese style rubber. Overall, good rubber with enough grip but requires full strength to engage the hard rubber.Quality - 30/12/2024 Very good Review by Marin Marian

I play already for 1 months with this rubber, it is very fast and a lot of controlQuality - 21/11/2024 Excelente Goma Review by Gustavo Alfonso Cedeno Reyes
-
excelente equilibrio entre los híbridos alemanes hasta ahora. Giro masivo en bucles, sensación dura/compacta en los drives, velocidad suficiente para evitar el sobreesfuerzo, excelente control sobre la mesa, tacto y agarre fantásticos para los servicios. Es un poco lineal, se debe ajustar la técnica en el golpe, pero eso está bien para mí y es la mejor goma de revés que he usado.Quality - 02/11/2024 Excellent Review by Richard Lim

Works well with soft blades like Donic impuls 7.0 and 7.5Quality - 01/11/2024 Most refined hybrid Review by Andrew Smith
-
There have been a lot of hybrid releases over the last few years. Adding some tackiness to a eurojap rubber is always going to be something of a compromise - not really tacky like a chinese rubber, not super catapulty/bouncy like a eurojap rubber. C55 has, for me, the best balance of all german hybrids so far. Massive spin on brush loops, hard/compact feel on drives, enough speed to avoid over exertion, excellent over the table control, fantastic touch and grab for serves. It's a bit hard and linear, so the compromise is low gear catapult, but that's ok for me and it's the best forehand rubber I've used for as long as I can remember.Quality - 30/10/2024 Good rubber, but... Review by ML

I think it's fairly good FH rubber, but it has it's flaws.Quality
If you try to brush ball without engaging sponge, there is good chance that the ball would slip through the rubber and literately fall off the rubber...
With stronger shots, usually it's not an issue.
I guess grip is not great unless you engage sponge...
It's good rubber, but it may require some play style adjustment.
