backhand rubber only for block/receive/fishing

gollllum · Oct 28, 2018

Hello!
I am looking for a new backhand rubber and i am basically doing three things on backhand:
-return of service
-fast blocks/konters with little movements and suprising change of directions close to the table
-fishing/lobbing if far behind the table

So i need a rubber which has a good controle for all kinds of servicesreturns, with not too much bouncy katapult, but still the possibilty to make a fast block without doing a big stroke. I doesnt need to be working well with topspins..

Thanks for your ideas!

Any of the traditional rubbers (think Sriver, mark V, etc) with a thin sponge should work well for this. They tend to very insensitive to incoming spin (compared to modern rubbers), can still produce decent pace and spin if you need it.

I like that they are not very spin sensitiv but im just afraid i have not enough speed for the plastic ball with this traditional rubbers...

I'd say this obviously calls for Tenergy 80. Positively so. At 1.9mm, or maybe even 1.7mm.

Thank you, i maybe try Tenergy 80 (or 64?) but of course its very expencive. What do you think about Vega Asia?

And what do you think about a softer sponge, like Vega Europe, would you say this is helping me for controle or is it making the service return very complicate because of the bouncy katapult?

Stiga Mantra M is very good and is not spin sensitive.

Go with
Andro Hexer Grip (best)
Or
Hexer Powergrip (2nd best)
Or
Shortpimple Nittaku Beautry (if you prefer pimple out)

What you want is spongeless long pimples or antispin.

There's absolutely no point using regular inverted if you don't topspin with it. The other rubbers will give most of your opponents fits

Fishing with antispin/LPs?

I play with SpinArt on BH

Blocking is one of my (relative) strenghts. Its also very good for serve/receive.
Very good for topspin as well

I don't know how to fish but it should behave well.

What about Yinhe Saturn Pro, good for flat hits, blocking and drives. Has a little tack and a bit of force if/when you need it? Read a good review by AndySmith saying just this here...

If you do not (top)spin at all you should play with with grippy large trapezoid Short Pips.
Here are some options Impartial XS,Tutle Summer 3C ,Mizuno Booster SA, Victas VO 102.
