honestly guys as soon as i had a go of an old crappy bat with it on I was in love - the way it plays is so unique - Im just upset that i cant work out which version it is.
 
this is what I can explain why its so good it is super fast and low throw but catches the ball perfectly
its as though because of its throw when loop or drive it the angle makes you hit the wood directly so you get more power than say tenergy which I have to graze it to stay low. 
 
Im so in love ddddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmm
help me get a sheet for me - the sheet i used was red.. so is the black any different? more or less elastic?

do you remember whats the cj8000 version that you were using before?cause there's like 50+ versions of this rubber.and they say that the black topsheet is spinnier than the red one.

CJ8000 is a wonderfully cheap but good performance rubber. Personally, I use CJ8000 (the cheapest, beijing team 36-38degree, not tensor) for my backhand, it's spiny and easy control.

I must say, although it is not very fast, but it can make good looping easily, very easy to use, very durable, and cheap too.

The biotech version is faster and glue free, but don't expect they perform like german rubber, this is a chinese rubber, a bit faster than before but still good looping and easy to use.

which palio is this? It should help right, atleast rule out some: the colour is white but seems a bit yellow - cream... it says C type so possibly thicker top as someone said... 38-41* any chinese readers can tell me what the character say?

also, C type is the thinnest CJ8000 topsheet!

regarding the 36-38 cj8000 biotech, i really like this one as a backhand rubber on any blade, or a forehand rubber on very firm blades.  throw angle is highish, rubber is GREAT for brush looping with control near the table, esp. loop vs. underspin.  i would not recommend this for a forehand rubber on softer blades.  the soft topsheet and soft sponge, with soft blade, becomes too mushy.

what is the weight of a cut cj8000 36-38 biotech?

i am looking for a cheaper replacement for my Bigslam and i only want soft & light rubbers with sound (any suggestions? i already own a Boost TC, perhaps Boost TS ? any reviews?)

depends on what blade.  for your blade, the head size is quite small, so i would estimate cut weight would be a little less than 40g.  cut to a stiga size, my sample sheet is 42g.


Posted By: manyaku88
Date Posted: 04/28/2009 at 3:56am
thx
 
should be ok if it's under 40
 
if it has that soft bouncy feel with a medium throw it's a keeper, kinda cheap to, i will include it in my next order

This rubber is only slightly tacking. Rather soft sponge and topsheet. Its a good sheet for my for BH if its a thinner maybe 1.7mm rubber. Very bouncy but some how the feel is pretty good. I rather not use this as forehand because its too slow

cj8000 36-38 biotech i would rate at 40 on the Tensor hardness scale.  the rubber has soft sponge and soft, mildly tacky topsheet, so the throw is high. on a hard blade, it could make a nice fh rubber if you like soft rubbers.  on a soft blade, i would think it is too slow for the fh.

Hi guys,

I didn't want to open a new thread so I thought I'd post this question here:

For the CJ8000 Biotech (36-38 deg) and the HK1997 Biotech (36-38 deg), I was wondering if you can separate the topsheet from the sponge easily - using the leftover rubber cutoff of course.  Thanks.



Posted By: jt99sf
Date Posted: 01/04/2010 at 11:27am
I've bought the Palio rubbers from Cole and Fastpaddle.com, Cole can customize the top sheet and the sponge for you because he glues them together for you and therefore its easier to separate. (not that they will separate on their own, Cole does a good gluing job)
 
The CJ8000 Biotech from Fastpaddle.com is glued at the factory and they are well made. So to separate the one's from the factory is difficult.
 
If you want the sponge or top sheet, just order them separately.

I agree that Cole does a good job.  

The CJ8000 topsheet is a little tacky and very pliable.  IMO, the thinner version of the topsheet (CJ8000C) plays really well for backhand on soft sponge. 

I like and use the CJ8000C topsheet (the thinnest one) on Dawei Butter Sponge (30 degree) for backhand.  For me, very good control, spinny, good for serving and for service returns. 

I've also tried the same topsheet on Dawei Quattro 35 degree sponge with similar results.  I like the feeling of the Butter sponge better.

IMO, off-the-shelf CJ8000 Biotech rubber in either the soft or medium sponge version is a very good rubber for allround play.  It seems to lack a little power, but makes up for it with good control. 

HK1997 seems to me like CJ8000 on mild steriods.  Faster, more spin, better control, plays better off the table.  IMO, the major difference between the sponge hardnesses is the top gear.  The softer sponge has a lower speed limit.  Softer sponge might be just an RPM or two spinnier.  It really plays its best on faster blades. 

I've had no issues with the rubber wear.  There does seem to be a "breakin" period for both.  For me an hour or two was sufficient, YMMV.

Both the off-the-shelf CJ8000 Biotech and HK1997 Biotech are available on eBay at ridiculously low prices if you pay attention.  But my recommendation is to go to Cole Ely for a custom built sheet of rubber using one of the CJ8000 topsheets (comes in three thicknesses) and the sponge that matches your game.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

Date Posted: 01/04/2010 at 1:39pm
The HK1997 Biotech from Fastpaddle.com is only $9 right now, so its a good time to try. Many of their Palio rubbers are <$10.
 
I find the Palio rubbers are easy to get used to and they last a long time. I used them on my TBS so the power is fine.
 
This is what I'm trying next:

@ Silver and jt
 
Thanks for your responses guys.  I should clarify, I'm not trying to separate the topsheet from the sponge.  I asked because I don't want the topsheet/sponge to separate easily.
 
@ jt
 
Thanks for that link.  I've never heard of them but I might get the HK1997 Biotech as well.  I just wish it was 36-38 degrees and I'm not sure if they have the $1 shipping for two sheets.

They are from Colorado and their shipping fee is slightly different.  It depends on where you are.  One sheet of rubber to CA is ~ $1.75 and 2 of them for ~ $2.25.  So the more you buy, the more shipping fee you save.

cj8000 biotech 36-38 is one rubber that i had made several attempt to replace from my BH.... thanks to great marketing by other companies.

And i miserably failed! It does everything... from great defense to great serves and decent winners. But what's more it does that even when you thought you missed the shot after hitting it.

@ Deb
Have you tried separating the topsheet from the sponge on the leftover cutout? On most Friendship rubbers, you'll rip the pips if you try this.

[/QUOTE]
 
You can probably have better luck with a clean separation if you drip some Bestine rubber cement thinner (let it sit for 15 to 20 seconds) between the top sheet and the sponge first.

@beaver:

the cj8000 biotech rubber comes with a little reverse dome. but as it ages and the tuning goes off, it will take huge reverse dome... to the extent it will curl so much that its difficult to stick uniformly on the paddle, and will also shrink in the process.

but no question of delaminating from sponge. i can't compare with 729... and not all 729 rubbers are same. but i can say the bonding is enough not to separate.

debraj, 

I agree.  It's a good rubber and tough to beat for backhand and for allround use.

If you like CJ8000 soft, have you also tried Palio HK1997 soft?  CJ8000c on Dawei Butter sponge (my fav for backhand)?

I don't share the excitement about this rubber.
IMO if you want to transform your Schlager Carbon blade or Gergely into something that has a speed of Stiga Allround Classic - just put two sheets of those on it.
I don't feel ANY speed glue effect in this rubber. To me it requires tuning or gluing. I admit it is tacky, light and has some spin although it is not playable to me.

the CJ8000 Biotech is not going to fit everyone's style of play. But being an EJ'er one just has to try before passing judgement.
On my TBS, the Biotech was a good all around rubber. It was easy to loop, block and chop. I used the CJ8000 for the U-1900 League play and my record was 13-3. (two of my losses were to 2000+ players)

good tha it worked for you.

i may not try that; because
- more than the topsheet, i like cj800 biotech primarily because of the sponge, being mid soft but lively
- i had bad experience with dawei sponge quite a few times... like same hardness rating, one batch could be butter and other could be .... :) bitter

to clarify, palio tension tech (older) and biotech (newer) tension rubbers are 100% made in china and do not feature german tensor technology.  they have a pre-domed tension state with a minor "glue" effect and are vacuum sealed to hold in the factory tension process.  to state that any other palio rubbers have german technology, is misinformation.  the only palio german tensors are the macro/maximo/(coming soon, thor's!) series rubbers.

there has been no delamination on any of the biotech rubbers i have tested.  as debraj said, there is some significant doming of the rubber, but the glue quality is superb; cant tear off the topsheet without ruining the sponge.  again, i can only vouch for the product i sell.  palio has different grades of product.  what comes from china is not the "export quality" I get as sole N. America distributor (though i havent seen too many problems with palio quality control, period).

anyone has any questions about palio varieties or want to talk deals/prices on rubber, please feel free to PM me.

I agree. I think it is too slow in short game. I used it on a slower blade, so maybe on a faster blade it would be ok on FH.

that's my feeling too, but I also stop playing in their league. too much favoritism.
Its the BATTF league. (San Francisco Bay Area) Now they are allowing a 'two-person' team because some other members cannot make the league play. If they can't make it, why sign up in the first place?

I guess it depends on your level of play or style. Many 1600-1800 players seem to find it dependable and powerful enough. But then, they aren't usually the ones using Schlagers and Gergelys (an even split between the US1000 and US2000 crowd)...

for sure.  anyone less than 1700 or even some better, the vast majority of time should be using a softer, slower setup than they are!  they are better off learning to rip a full swing loop, rather than jerking with a compact motion due to the timo boll tricarbon and tenergy in their hands.

Hello. I need some info about Palio CJ8000 Biotech and HK1997 Biotech rubbers.

1- (36-38), (39-41), (40-42). Which sponge hardness is about the same as Sriver EL's and which is the same as Sriver L's ?
(40pts)

2- CJ8000 Biotech and HK1997 Biotech sponges... Is it the same sponge? If not then are they have the same hardness? CJ8000 39-41 =? HK1997 39-41
(40pts)

3- How tacky is CJ8000 rubber? Does it hold the ball high? Does it need chinese style strokes to play with?
(20pts)

Thanks :)

2- CJ8000 Biotech and HK1997 Biotech sponges... Is it the same sponge? If not then are they have the same hardness? CJ8000 39-41 =? HK1997 39-41
(40pts)

3- How tacky is CJ8000 rubber? Does it hold the ball high? Does it need chinese style strokes to play with?
(20pts)

Thanks :)
1. 36-38 would be very similar to sriver el hardness.  39-41 to sriver l.  i have sheets right in front of me for reference to confirm this.
2.  usually the cj8000 sponge runs 1-2 degrees softer than the hk1997 sponge.  the hk has a denser (less porous) sponge, better quality.
3. the cj8000 is only mildly tacky; its a soft topsheet so really suits a more euro stroke (the harder sponge like 42-44 works with chinese style loop drive).  the black will pick a ball for just a second or so when brand new, red almost none.  for palio rubbers, the hadou is the tackiest, about the same tack as haifu stuff (still nowhere near as tacky as a hurricane).
 
hope i pass the test Wink.

Thank you very much for your detailed reply mdjenders.
You sure pass the test. A Distributor + grade. :)

(39-41 black -FH, 36-38 red -BH. Come July, i will try both hk and cj. I have a good feeling about these Biotech rubbers.)
