Maybe I am old school. I am still making my way through that first generation of rubbers. Today I put EL-P on my backhand for the first time (I have tried MX-P, MX-S, EL-S, FX-D and FX-P before) and I like it a lot. MX-S is wayyyyy too hard for my backhand. I had no control with MX-P. I think my backhand likes Rozena, C-1 and EL-P the best so far (over say Rakza 7 soft, BlueFire M2, Accuda S2, Barracuda, etc). I just don't see the need to pay $60+ for the next generation of ESN rubbers.amateurs talk about speed
semi pros talk about control and spin
pros talk about spin and speed
I wonder why do we even measure a speed on rubbers, if we are not first measuring the skills of the user of these rubbers?
speed is nothing, if one can't control or spin the ball.
Big Dipper and D09C can't even be in the same sentence.
if your level is only that much, it might seem the same
the moment skills and level increase, D09C is much more higher in performance on the control, spin and speed ratio than Big Dipper
Rubbers needs to be groups in control, spin and speed and not speed alone.
To think the decade old G1, MXP, Tenergy (05) is the same speed (and control/spin) as the more recent is obviously wrong as the newer gen are indeed much higher in all 3
