I am confused on my fh choise???

Flip Ur bat around and run the hustle on your city and region. You should do alright enough and earn sufficient funds to buy and discover Ur EJ rubber.

I think you do not like Boost TC because it is slightly difficult to loop with, and I agree, T series are gone way too far in price.
My recommendation is Mark-V.
It is quite balanced rubber when combined with wood blade.
It is not super fast, but very stable and surprisingly easy to loop with.
I am not sure if you like Mark V but I hear lot of people appreciate its touch.

Mark V has a soft touch, but also bouncy

Cheap options: Sanwei T88-I, Sanwei Target Both of them very good in close to table play. Extremely easy to loop with them. I rarely hit, only high balls, so I don't know.
A little higher price: Tibhar Evolution EL-P, Andro Rasant Powersponge. High-end rubbers with very good grip. Maybe Xiom Vega Europe.
Hexer doesn't fit your forehand? Without a video it's really hard to advice.
Mark V is a bit like Sriver: very easy to play with, quite good, but doesn't worth the money, I think.

I think any medium/hard hight throw rubber will meet your needs. Like Rakza 7, Rising Dragon, Fastarc G-1, Omega IV Europa, Acuda S3, Baracuda, Hexer, Rasant Grip.....

But if you are on a budget there are chinese rubbers around 20USD that will perform as good as a 50USD rubber. The ones i tried and really like are 729 Higher, LKT Rapid Speed, LKT PRO XP.

Well, I would say, if you like T05 but don't like the price, then the first place to start is one of these:

Tibhar Evolution MX-P
Xiom Vega Japan
Xiom Omega V Pro

Omega V Pro feels a lot like T05. Not exact but it feels like T05 than anything else I have tried. Vega Japan feels really similar but gets better spin and control. They are very close in feel to T05 but not quite as much spin, not quite as good. But barely noticeable.

MX-P feels nothing like T05 but it gets amazing spin. In performance this one is the closest thing to T05. It plays differently. It doesn't play or feel anything like T05. But, it is the only thing so close to being as good overall.

But, I don't think you can go wrong with any of those three rubbers.

BTW: traditionally Stiga rubbers are low grip and low throw. They are very fast but not very spinny. I have really disliked pretty much every Stiga rubber I have tried.

I have not tried any of the Airoc rubbers. But, I am guessing that I still wouldn't like them even though I have heard they are better than older generation Stiga rubbers.

Why still this old school rubbers ... WHy not try something new and fresh. Like tsp ventus speed , or victas v 15 or Gewo Hype El.... ?

I like Donic BlueFire as an alternative to 05, slower than 05, but still get good loops.

I would go with a JP01 instead for FH and use JP02/JP03 as BH.

Hi hustler37 alot of options and suggestions and so easy to get confused, perhaps it might be worth trying out other peoples bats at your local club to see if you can find one that you like, if you cant do this then alot of the ones suggested like donic blue fire, xiom, rakza 7 are descent rubbers and you wont go wrong with those ones because as you play more you will try lots of different rubbers

It looks like he already chose. More comments, especially ones like this:

Will only confuse him and make him second guess his choice. He made a good choice. JP02 should be fine for your FH. The slightly softer sponge (than JP01) will give you nice control.

Sorry I forgot mention JP01 or JP02. But I's have to agree that JP02 might work out better for you especially with the plastic balls. JP01 I feel works better with celluloid balls.

All new tensors + Stiga Airoc series (I would prefer Astro) + Victas new rubbers are good alternatives even if they have a bit diffrent characteristics based on which one you choose. To bad Adidas P7 and the Tenzone series will disappear because they too was a pretty ok choice.
