Novar (Reactor)

This rubber was exclusively used by the Hong Kong team a couple years back. It's now used throughout the world amongst players who want spin+control+surprising smash attack.

This rubber is rare in the Western world. I'm one of the few people that have it. This rubber is made in China and is really tacky. It is part of the series of rubbers such as:
Reactor Tornador, Ckylin, Novar, and Corbor. Each being more offensive, Corbor being the least offensive but with the most control. This rubber is also extremely cheap and durable, if you are interested in one you can message me and I'll direct you to a friend that sells (you will be one of the few).

I find this rubber to be really tacky with good speed, spin, and control. I like it especially for serves. It is also extremely good for loops, It is very consistent for me. Good short-game. Has nice feeling which is really good for development. Also kind of a low throw which is frustrating for opponents trying to return your loops. Good for loops, smashes, pushes, serves, and blocks. This rubber is a good mix of spin with control. If you want more offense and sacrifice a bit of control you can get Reactor Skyline or Tornado.
