I have tried the following combinations:
Set up 1:
Stiga Eternity
MX-S max (fh)
MX-P max (bh)
Set up 2:
Nitakku Rutis Power
Aurus Prime 1.9 (fh)
Aurus Select 1.9 (bh)
Set up 3:
Stiga Eternity
Aurus Prime 1.9 (fh)
MX-S max (bh)
Set up 4:
Stiga Artic Wood
MX-S max (fh)
MX-P max (bh)
I think Set up 2 is the lightest and easiest to handle incoming speed, requires less effort to lift heavy backspin, I don´t know if it is because of the top sheet (less sensitive to incoming speed) or the sponge (1.9 instead of max). I really like this set up, however I feel I´m too attach to MX-S/P. Prime feels fast but controllable, one thing I notice is that I don´t "feel" the spin I generate (I believe is due the blade, more details ahead), however my coach says is really heavy, with Evolution series I feel the rubber grabbing the ball. With correct technique both rubbers generate excellent spin compared to Evolution. With this setup is easier for me to return serves, play against pimples, Select si very precise to position the ball and works really great to block heavy top spins and direct the ball to the oposite side. I would say both rubbers have excellent grip, Prime is faster, both produce high levels of spin (however I don´t feel the rubber grabbing the ball), they are fast, produce similar levels of spin than Evolution, I guess if you are a pro you could feel much more difference.
Set up 1:
The heavier set up. This was my main set up, I love MX-S so much that I´m thinking on using it on both sides, MX-P is great for blocking, but for me is too sensitive to incoming spin (compared to Select and MX-S). Is fast, spin is great but after a few weeks I found the ball slipping when playing BH topspin. MX-S is the one that generates more spin that any other of the rubbers and IO don´t feel loosing grip on my FH.
Set up 3:
For some reason I didn't like this combination that much: Prime on a composite blade feels better I thin I also loss some the precision when trying to position the ball.
Set up 4:
Very similar to set up 1, but lighter, more control and I don't feel difference in speed, it is also easier to lift the ball. I really like this combination because for some reason MX-S is easier to handle, since it has less catapult it requires a better position and stroke or the ball will hit the net, this is easier with Artic Wood instead of Eternity
Now this is the part that I´m conflicted about and I hope TTD guys will give light:
I'm thinking on using one of these combinations:
Artic Wood
MX-S 1.9-2.0
MX-S 1.9-2.0
or
Artic Wood
MX-S max
MX-S max
or
Nittaku Rutis Power
Aurus Prime 1.9
Aurus Select 1.9
or
Nittaku Rutis Power
MX-S 1.9-2.0
Aurus Prime or Select?? 1.9
I think I will not use MX-P anymore, I like MX-S, Prime and Select, but I don´t know what would be different between 1.9 o max, and as you can see there are multiple combinations that work better on different situations.
These is a review for Aurus Prime and Select, but had no idea what they are saying:
And this is for Artic Wood and MX-S
Would be great to understand korean
