Adidas P5 alternatives

Bavildo83 · Dec 17, 2017

Hi all,

I have played with Adidas P5 with max thickness (backhand and forehand) for about a year and I really love them but unfortunately Adidas don't make rubbers anymore. Do you guys have a alternative with same specs, feel etc.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Bave

I think Yogi_Bear reviewed it way back when, as a slightly slower T05 alternative with a slightly lower throw. That kind of fits the Nanoflex FT40 profile. I happen to have two nearly-new cut sheets of these lying around unused, a red and a black 2.1 and will part with them in case you're interested.

Patrick Hrdlicka did a very solid review on it a while ago, it's found at http://blog.tabletennis11.com/gewo-nanoflex-ft48-ft45-ft40-table-tennis-rubbers-reviews. He compares it to some Adidas rubbers as well, and perhaps that will help you relate it to the P5.

Given that P5 has a 47,5 degree sponge and not the softest topsheet you might want to try Tibhar Genius/Aurus or from the next generation Bluefire M1/Gewo Hype. The adidas rubbers were all a bit "me-too-ish" except for P7, which was one of the first with a softer topsheet for maximum spin and reduced speed.

Some of the things mentioned here bring Vega Pro in mind. Does that make any sense?

Absolutely. Anything from that generation with 47,5 sponge should do.

Thank you very much all. I appreciate your help a lot.

How will Rasanter R50 or Donic Bluestorm Z1 compare? A harder sponge but softer topsheet.
