Backhand rubbers

Sakumi · Oct 16, 2016

I'm thinking of getting a new rubber for my backhand along with a new blade. I was looking at the Donic Bluefire M3 (or any other bluefire), the Xiom Vega Japan (it says it on my profile but I do not) and the Yasaka Rakza 7. How does these rubbers compare as being a general BH rubber, for topspin on flicks and looping with speed and how durable they are. As well as that, what thicknesses would be best suited to those factors - either 2.0mm or MAX. Also, could you comment on the throw angles of each rubber - I prefer a medium to high.

I have a Yinhe V14 blade (carbon) if that changes anything significantly.

Thanks!

I'm not a fan of vega japan. The topsheet has too much tension resulting in low dwell time on the rubber. This might be because I'm a tenergy user and tenergy has a really mushy topsheet.

How about MX-P? I like how despite being fast, it's a good rubber for pushing and a lot of spin. I use rakza 7 on my BH and it feels to me like a really good allaround offensive rubber but it doesn't have any 'wow' factor to it and again as a tenergy user i like rubbers that have 'wow' factor to it

I did consider the MX-P but didn't really do any research into it. What do you mean by thr wow factor?

Edit: Maybe the EL-P would be better, lots of people are saying that it is too fast.

I think the Rakza 7 or MX-P would be the best choices. Which is better in your opinion as a BH rubber?

I tried donic bluefire m3 but didnt like it because it was too spin sensitive so i went back to donic sonex jp gold. Spinny loops, control, Reccomend

Does anyone know if this is a legit seller?

How does the speed of the MXP compare to the tenergy 05FX

Bluefire M3 has high throw. It is soft and spinny, so it's quite easy to topspin with. Serving is awesome! I found it quite fast, but I am used too tacky rubber and Sriver speed, so maybe it isn't that fast. Mine more than six months with still much of its properties, but I don't play a lot. I only tried Vega Japan once or twice, but I found Vega Japan is more bouncy than M3. I prefer M3's dwell too. I also tried T64fx. I think M3 is grippier, but I am not sure.

I didn't like the Vega Japan. Unpredictable catapult and the arc flattened out after a week or two. Much happier with the Rakza 9 that I'm using right now.

I read somewhere that the feel of it was quite odd and that the trajectory was unpredictable sometimes.

Can anyone tell me how the hardness of the MX-S compares to the Hurricane 8?

Really? Maybe, I didn't notice... It feels all right to me anyways

Yup. I have bought several items from them. They are based in HK. They are legit.

SFF_lib · Oct 16, 2016

I have tried both. MXP is slighter harder than T05 FX. Probably between T05 and T05 FX in terms of speed.

This is absolutely wrong. MX-P is as fast or faster than T64 and T64 is faster than T05. MX-P is also harder than T05 in terms of feel.

Hi now I playing on backhand Bryce Speed FX is very , very good

Liten · Oct 17, 2016

Depending on your style of play, Rakza 7 is a pretty good bh rubber id say. Its not a spin monster, if thats your goal, but fast enough for sure..

AgavE · Oct 17, 2016

Tenergy 64 (or 05 if you prefer much more faster loops instead of spin loops) - would be the best choice, i think, but not the best for the price.
Rakza 7, or Rakza 7 Soft(if you prefer slow spinny loops from BH) - optimal choice between price and quality.
BTW - Tibhar MX-P after 3-4 weeks definitely slower than tenergy after 3-4 weeks ;-)

T80 in 1.9 mm

Sakumi · Oct 17, 2016

Basically, I wanted an 05 alternative but didn't know which one was so I listed some which looked decent. Tenergy is just too expensive. I'm thinking the MXP would be a good choice because it is medium hard (but to the harder end) whereas the rakza 7 is softer.
