I’m currently using an OFF- blade (Xiom Fuga) with Xiom VEGA Europe DF (2.0mm) on both sides. The rubber was great for learning how to loop and I still like it on forehand, but I feel like it takes way too much effort to get decent power when hitting and looping backhand. I would describe myself as a developing player who is getting close to being intermediate level. I train with a coach once a week and I’ve finally gotten consistent with back hand looping.
I’d like more speed/power on backhand, but not too much. MX-P or even T05 would be too fast and too hard of a sponge for me.
I see three options:
A). Replace Euro DF 2.0mm with the thicker 2.2mm sponge. (Will this be a noticeable power difference?).
B). Use a different backhand rubber. Something like Rakza 7 soft, FX-S, Rasanter R42, T05 FX, VEGA Pro, etc... (please specify recommended rubber and thickness).
C). Use my spare blade with Euro DF in max thickness. (OFF rated Stiga Infinity VPS)
Thanks!
