It's time for the final update. I've done the risky thing and ordered rubbers I haven't tried, as nobody in the local club has happened to use them. I couldn't be happier with my choice.

The difference is huge compared to what I'm use to playing with the old Srivers. Things have really moved up in the table tennis world as these rubbers are a lot faster, a lot grippier and the bounce is just crazy. As usual it took me a while to adjust to the speed, it was hard to keep them on the table at first, pushing/short game suffers with these type of rubbers but aggressive attack combined with good body mechanics is where they excel. I had zero problem beating my opponent on intense fast rallies once the top spins started rolling. The throw angle on both rubbers is different compared to what I remember with Butterfly products just as I expected. I like the new style better. It seems more flatter while still creating the maximum loop.
Servs are a breeze too as the tacky top sheet grips well. Unlike Sriver you can't see through the rubber, so the pimples are not visible.
Blocking is amazing too, absolutely effortless due to the crazy bounce, but don't get cocky or you might miss the table. I find just a good relaxed wrist helps absorb the catapult effect until a striking opportunity arises.
By the way I love the speed glue sound. Now I know what people mean by speed gluing your rubbers every week or so. I honestly don't feel like I need any more speed than this. I'm still glad it has enough control to put the balls where I want them and change the direction. This was my only fear when I chose them that I might become just a speed junky relying on good placement from the opponent, but fortunately I found I can be in charge of the ball.
Let's talk more about the individual rubbers. So on my forehand I chose the Andro Rasant PowerGrip, it's harder rubber, felt less bouncy and less grip than M2, but then I found it has hidden gears. When you finally start using your muscles to power it down the line it goes a lot quicker than M2. The hard top sheet makes it predictable, I like that. The tackiness is plenty and did not force me to serve with M2 instead. It makes serve returns pop in the air like a champ. Or even better most people couldn't even keep it on the table once you do the perfect brush near the edge.
Next is the backhand where I feared I'd like something with a bit more spin, maybe the arc should be higher I dunno, or at least to give me good control. So I opted for Donic Bluefire M2. This is a lot softer rubber, which is probably why it gives the feel that it has higher bounce, it's also a little more spinier, while speed wise it remains similar to PowerGrip. The thing is after thinking more about it, I put the reason for those effects is due to being soft therefore providing a lot of dwell time. Serves are effortless and gives a little more spin. Power wise it seems predictable, it doesn't have the hidden gears Rasant Powergrip once you start smashing it and going for maximum speed smash/loops. I'm glad I chose this on the backhand because my short game flicks near the net are absolute killer. I forget if arc is higher, it seems similar to Rasant anyway, just a little different.
Well yeah I guess that's it. Everybody is impressed with the new blade I chose and already asking me where they can get cheap rubbers. I think everybody love the color combo I got going in there, it kinda looks like a toy hehehe. I pretty much picked this half price to a Tenergy rubber, which means I can pick 4 rubbers for the price of 2. I'm glad to go away from Butterfly products because while I don't mind their performance, I don't feel they are worth the high price and bullshit policy. I would highly recommend the Andro Rasant PowerGrip and Donic Bluefire M2, I would also say that most likely if you are going for rubbers like Tibhar Evolution MX-P, Adidas TenZone Ultra, Xiom Omega V Europe , Rakza something something......you are going to get similar results. The most thing that seems to matter in my opinion is the top sheet choice hard/medium/soft. This is what will give you the desired effect of what you want to achieve rather than the brand. At least that's what I think I realized from trying different brands now. However, never the less I would say again stay away from X-plode, X-tra from Joola as they are no where near as good, the Rasant and Bluefire has way more speed and grip and it's even lower/identical price, so you are not doing yourself a favour.
Thanks to all people who replied and gave me some pointers. I'm pleased with my choice and from here it will be just lots of practise and enjoying the sport even more with the right tools for the job.
