Hello everyone :)

I do not have much rubber knowledge, so I am counting on your help. At the moment, I currently have Rasanter R42 on forehand and Rasanter V42 on my backhand and I was thinking about staying with those. However, they are quite expensive in my country and I'd like to try some other brands beside andro. Could you please tell me some alternatives for those ?

My style of play is mainly allround : I do a bit of everything (chops, block close to the table, topspin from both side but mostly backhand).

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Which brand is cheaper in your country? Do you like your setup and want something similar or do you search for something more controlable?

To be honest, I don't know what brand is cheaper. Until now, I bought rubbers and blades from the shop in nearby town, which is one of official Donic and Andro distributors in Poland. Most popular brands here are Butterfly, Tibhar, Andro and Donic.

I like my current setup, especially the blade (Donic Waldner Diablo Senso) and rubbers. I want to try something similar from maybe little less known brands. Maybe slower rubbers to have better block.

Well then I'll give you that kind of rubbers that I know:

Palio AK47;
Palio Aeolus;
Derwind Rayhe(harder)/Stolz(softer);
729 Presto Spin/Speed;
729 Battle I.

Rasanter rubbers are from a new concept (thinner topsheet enables even thicker "ultramax" sponge). All rivaling companies offer rubbers from this very concept, but none of them considerably cheaper.

andro have a rubber that stands out a bit, slower than the Rasanter, very durable, real value for money. It´s called Hexer Duro.

I see no reason to change to another brand, since so many rubbers especially from the European brands are manufactured in the same factory anyway, so don´t expect anything wildly different. Switching to Chinese or Japanese made rubbers will make a difference, though.
