Good balance between tone and stickiness
Being new to the world of bows and rosin, I decided to buy a couple of rosins to try out, particularly as I'd read on the internet about the idea of using different rosins in different orders when first applying rosin to a new bow.
I bought the Nyman and the Pops.
I've found the Pops to be quite sticky but helpful in producing a rich tone more easily than the Nyman. On the other hand the Nyman makes the bow catch less and feels more manageable somehow. It is also easier to control in application.
I also had the idea that the harder Nyman rosin would make me learn a better bow technique. I have no idea if this makes any sense though, particularly since plenty of professional players use the Pops.
I live in the north of England so temperature control of rosin isn't a big issue. I did find the Pops oozed sideways a bit on a shelf with a light nearby (though not actually underneath). The rosin block wouldn't come out of the case without a lot of banging so I can see that a bit of care is needed for managing that issue. The Nyman on the other hand has kept its shape resolutely. The result, of course, is that it sometimes takes a bit of working up and down before it softens enough to transfer to the bow hairs. The Pops applies immediately.
I guess overall that rosin is a very much a personal preference product. I've seen merits in both these products and at the moment am uncertain which I'd use long term. I think the decision will ultimately be based on the musical direction I go down and sound it requires.

top wie immer eins der Besten
das einzige Manko nach 1-2 Jahren wird es hart und man muss ein neues bestellen, wer fleissiger übt bemerkt dies wohl kaum.

Very grippy rosin
This rosin comes in a tall thin cake, which I think is better than the flat, hockey-puck-like discs as I'm sure it'll last longer. The actual rosin gives the bow hairs a great grip on the strings and has really helped me with dynamics.

Not too sticky
Coming from using Pops rosin for years I tried the Nymann but found it not very "sticky" and had to apply it more times than the Pops. Overall not too enthusiastic about it, but it might be of course that the rosin I used before was very different from this one. It's good enough but I think I'll stick to the old one.

Good Budget Rosin
What can i say? it's not good as more famous rosins but it costs a lot less and still does the job except that needs to be applied often. Still a very good product!
