Gambler Aces and Peace Keeper Review

I just tried the new Gambler Aces rubber, and it reminds me of LKT XT (and also Giant Dragon superspin), although a lot tackier and firmer sponge than the XT. I found it a decent control rubber unglued, quite spinny, but not all that fast.
I glued it up with a thick layer of tibhar RCD, and after an hour I got a huge dome! Although this made it a fair bit faster, it still didn't have the same click or feel as a glued up XT.
Not a bad rubber from Gambler...

I also tried the peace keeper on 1.0mm, which is like a medium pimple. I find it hard to review this, since I struggle playing with attack style pimpled rubber, I only play with long pimples.
With the 1.0mm it was quite good for chopping, although a little fast, but with some spin reversal when chopped lightly. Blocking was good and easy, producing short dead balls for open faced blocks, and some topspin when you come over the ball a little...very effective. Hitting was very much like a short pimple that's not too grippy, also quite effecive.
Again not a bad effort, I'm sure it would suit some.
