Hi.
I'm currently playing with butterfly balsa carbo x5 blade and stiga calibra tour s 1,9 bh/calibra lt 2,0 fh rubbers. The rubbers are getting old so I'm gonna need to buy a new ones.
I have weaker bh, I use it basically only for keeping the ball in game. Fh I play mostly topsins/smashes. I play close to the table most of the time. I'm nearly satisfied with my current setup, but there are things I would like to change. For bh, I feel sometimes it reacts to the spin too much so sometimes my blocks are too long/too high. For fh, I mostly have problem with heavy backspin balls that I can't just play with topspin.
So I was thinking for bh I would order calibra tour h because I think it could solve my problems, but I'm not sure how it will get with this balsa blade because of hard sponge (I read somewhere that hard sponge just doesn't fit with this blade), and for fh, I thought calibra spin/sound or airoc s/airoc astro s could work best. (I think any softer rubber with similar top sheet will work for fh, so I'm mainly asking for advice about my bh)
If you are confused about something I wrote, just ask, and I'll try to explain it better because as non-native speaker I'm not sure about my english and especially table tennis terminology. I hope you'll help me find the best rubbers for me.
