I currently use a ma lin carbon blade with Rakza 7 on fh and Fastarc g-1 on the backhand. Im looking to upgrade the rubbers.
On the forehand im looking for something similar to Rakza 7 but with a bit more speed and spin as I found it a bit too slow. On the backhand im looking for a a rubber that’s quite easy to spin with and good control as my technique is still developing on the backhand.
Any advice or recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks.
This racket would work well for me if just turned around, R7 on BH and FA-G1 on FH.
I actually believe just doing that would be an upgrade on both sides.
7 should be easier to develop your BH strokes with, softer sponge and all the spin you need.
G1 is a brilliant FH rubber, if you like the throw angle. It's plenty fast (especially with MLC blade).
Rakza rubbers are relatively expensive imo so telling you to try Rakza X or X soft could be expensive mistakes, although I personally think they're great!
If you are still developing your strokes it's a matter of opinion as to whether or not your blade is probably too fast. When developing you want a slower blade with feel that aids development and should aim to win your points through control, precision and tactics.
Once you've mastered the footwork, 'arm whip' FH looping and various other shots then it's time to add some additional speed in your hand and think carbon blade. That's always been my approach anyway.
Bottom line is this, you have good equipment so it's probably a technique upgrade that's needed. Spend the cash on coaching first I would say
