Man, I'll have to give Nittaku Glasnost a try, if only because I'm a
firm believer in the evil that is the usual (opaque) black rubber.
Now that I think about it, I think the ASTI black rubber might have been >translucent, but I'm not sure.
This is why (again according to him) the red & black rubbers of the same >>>brand may not play the close to same let alone identical.
I can certainly believe it, given how differently Mendo MP red and black >play.
First came the two-color rule and then perhaps two years later the red-black >> rule. Eric Lindh was playing with Mark V--red forehand, blue backhand.
Having to switch from blue to black screwed up his backhand. Jorgen Persson >> suffered also. He had to switch from a Donic green to black.
I really loved the green DHS 7412 inverted rubber I used many years ago.
Fantastic control and dwell time, without being tacky.
