Well I have had a set up of ALL blade Donic Allplay and Mark V 1.8 mm both sides. I like this set up but now I want to see if I can go a bit further and try myself at some other rubber while being an all round player, as a context I might prefer chopping and cutting in the long haul but I do enjoy my top spins or waiting for a mistake, I play differently with some people. My biggest thing is waiting for the mistake though, but as someone that would like to continue being all-round what rubber can I get from this rough selection? Oh I haven't mentioned I would like it to be 1.8 mm if possible because I want to still be able to cut but still have speed/power in my smashes and top spins.
So the rubbers are in order of preference Donic bluefire M3(Since this is the softest rubber but still faster than mark v right?), Rakza 7/7 soft ( I don't know which really), Mark V HPS, Yasaka Rising Dragon, and lastly a Donic Acuda/coppa but I think these are just offensive rubbers. I was going to say Xiom Vega Pro/Europe but many reviews say it's bad for chopping and that's something I enjoy doing. I was going to add in Marder 1 or 2 but these rubbers have next to no reviews and know no one with them, being under defensive section a 2.0 would be good for all round but I wouldn't know, I've seen people with 1.0 mm smash/top spin really well on a mistake.
My first choice as of right now is Donic Bluefire M3 from reviews and how they say it plays and being all round type, I would get it at 1.8, maybe 2.0 but I have no clue if I should or shouldn't. My second choicd is Rakza 7 either regular or soft, I'm not sure which one but they both have good reviews and I believe the 1.8 rubber is described as having control and being all round, and it's hard to beat the good things they say about it, but do you guys recommend it over the bluefire M3? If you guys have any other rubber suggestions I would greatly appreciate hearing them out. I have my eyes set on my first 2 options and any advice is greatly appreciated!
P.S. I forgot to mention I have only used ALL type blades, should I keep sticking with that? I guess it depends if I get a fast rubber or a slow one?
