What's the most durable/ long lasting rubber(s) you have used?
 
I can't afford to buy new sheets all the time, so I thought I'd start this thread.

Personally I've had sheets of H3 that as long as I cleaned regularly played as good as new.  One sheet was used for 6 months straight and it was the same as on day 1.

Stiga Clippa. I've had a sheet for over 10 years. It has been speed glued, boosted and glued with all sorts of different glues. It has still not lost 1 pip and plays as new.

schildkrot supelastic. it's been passed on for generations in my family, it's probably around 150 years old. chops better than tackiness chop, blocks better than neubauer superblock, loops better than tenergy. and it's still getting better with every session.

I have a sheet of Friendship 729 SP transcend that I bought about 5 years ago.

I don't use it nearly as much, but it still plays great. Was my main rubber of use for about the first year and a half I had it, then with occasional use, still kicking.

999 topsheet is pretty much bullet proof.
Inspirit Quattro (the regular, NOT the ultra light) lasts forever and a day.
 
Bothe of these rubbers with sponge do not cost very much new. Might be had for a beer used.

My rubber is Butterfly Sriver 1.5 mm and I've been using it for almost five years. I think how you take care of your ping pong paddles will also helps to make your rubber last long.Wink
