I have never played with the 999T rubber but I have played with Globe 999 and its a very nice rubber. It is formost a ver yeasy rubber to conrol, it has decent speed and quite good spin ability. I have played it 2.0 and 2.2 thickness. Not much difference between the both of them. From what I have heard on this forum the dif. between the both of them (999 and 999t)is very small. I changed my Bh setup to DHS G 666 brcause I wanted more speed. Spin ability about the same, but moore speed with DHS G 666. I belive Globe 999 is a great and very underestimated rubber. It is also incredible cheap compared to other rubbers with the same quality, its really a very good buy!

The 999T is not a lot different, I could not notice the disfference although it's supposed to be a little faster and slightly less spinny.

can't agree here... played black 2.2 mm for a while and the sponge was very mushy, and the topsheet was grey after a couple of weeks... lacked power and touch...

If the topsheet went grey it sounds like a cheap imitation. I've never seen this with any of the genuine rubber! Both Globe 999 & 999t comes both with chinese sponge or japanese sponge, and the chinese sponge comes in several different hardnesses... |

Me neither. I have never seen it gone grey. Ive seen over 7 sheets of 999T and 4 sheets 999 over the past 18 months. Maybe it's a counterfeit or bad copy. Globe 999T rubber come in a lot of different Sponge hardness (30-50) so it is dependent on your supplier. Schlager > you may have gotten one with a very soft sponge. The ones I have been getting were anywhere from 36 - 42 and were pretty firm. Many great pro players have used this rubber (Kong, Ma Lin) & I don't see any difference between 999 and 999T |

I tried one with 38deg sponge, too soft. The 40deg with chinese sponge is not bad.

If I'm using 2 sides of 999/999T sometimes I use the 40 deg on FH and 36-38 on BH. BRITAIN > are you thinking of trying out a 999 rubber? Since it is a very good price usually? Do you like soft, medium soft or hard sponge on your rubbers? |

Wow, what a great rubber. got a 999T6 2.1mm Black 36-38* to try as i noticed it seems v. popular by people using forums.
Great control on bh, absorbs spin, plays thru spinny serves and allows good control and attacking spinny strokes. Reminds me of Juic Spinspiel that i used along time ago but with more control at about 1/4 of the cost.
Great feeling gives alot of confidence to strokeplay and shot selection.
Tried it on a softer blade and not half as good, has taught me an invaluable lesson in experimenting rubbers on different blade types to find the best combo!
Are these Globe 999t's durable?

Yes they are very durable as long as you keep them clean. I used mine for almost a year then gave them away. I just saw one guy still using his sheet tonight about 6 months later.

I have a sheet of globe 999T with Dawei Saviga 2.2 42 Degree Sponge and I really like it. Very Spinny and Fast and unglued much more lively compared to Hurricane 2/3

Thanks for that wfwfitz, i'm pedantic about keeping them clean and covered and as i only use it twice a week - looks like this will be value for money!

I bought mine from e-bay using a guy called "china-friend" had alot of stuff from there, very reasonable, he'll reduce p&p for larger orders if you ask and i'm reliably informed from a UK supplier that he is fully 100% kosher!
As for 999, you will not be disappointed if you like attack but need control to go with it!
Edit to add, never speed glued but that i use glue sheets now whilst i have been experimenting which rubber suits which blade!

okie, the other day, i just tried out my Globe999 2.2 for my fh on the
OC CR WRB, with some kinda Chinese speed glue, and somehow, the rubber
feels like rubbish, i couldnot do any spinny or powerful loop, all i
did with the rubber that day was to flip and short push back. I thought
i m about to throw it away.
Just yesterday, i tried it on my new blade Clipper wood, with just Aqua effect glue (non-speed glue), and amazingly how it works. loops re just spinny and fast (prolly due to the blade), so kinda confused. Are these Globe sheets just work well with fast and little hard blade? not on slower off blades? |

You probably got the soft sponged version of 999, the harder sponges are better on the thin blades like the OC CR WRB.
PS: Chinese rubbers often have a "break in" period, try the 999 on the OC CR WRB again and see if its better. |

I don't think it is just globe sheets, if you note my post above i had a similar experience.
I believe soft rubbers work best with hard blades and hard rubbers work best with soft blades ('im sure i have read that somewhere on a forum), then of course you have individual preferences in between mixing and matching.
I like trying out different rubbers as i am still searching for the perfect bat(s) for attack play (the game i want to play), defence play when i am playing someone who i am having difficulty with and attack fh with defence bh, so i have now learnt to try rubbers on different types of blade!
Can anybody else shed some light on this thinking?

Cream/Jap is extremely good for chopping and has enough touch to loop well, pair that up with some short pips on the backhand (such as 802-40 on a thin sponge) and a nice 7-ply blade.
