Good Rubbers to Pair with My Joola Aruna Off Blade

neilaugustine21 · Nov 18, 2018

Hey everyone,

I just recently bought the new joola aruna off blade and I absolutely love it. As of right now I am using yasaka mark V hps rubbers on forehand and backhand but they are beginning to wear away and it might be time to replace the rubbers. What type of rubbers would you guys recommend? I'm looking for something that has good control and great spin, power isn't as important but I am open to any suggestions and reasons for them. Thank you!

Well the answer to your question all depend on what level of play you are currently at and what blade you currently use with your Mark V hps?

SpinKing · Nov 18, 2018

Perhaps it might even be best to stick with Mark V hps both sides of your new Aruna off blade as that way you are only changing one variable as it is not recommended to change your whole setup all at once.

Look at the TTD reviews of your blade, some rubbers are noted. Also Dan reviewed the blade and noted Joola rubbers.

What does Aruna use? Go a little softer sponge and bang.

Hi, it would help us to know your USATT rating before making clear recommendations to you. Also are you playing with the regular Mark V HPS or the HPS Soft?

Maxxx 450 and maxxx 425 2.0mm

I played mxs on another hinoki outer ply recently and it was a great combination. Could you leave a bit of a review for the Aruna OFF as I am quite interested in that blade?

Hello,

Dan had a great review of the blade, in the TTD YouTube channel. It's also here in the review, scroll down and you shall see.

45-47,5 tensor 2.0 or max
I recommend xiom omega VII pro fh ( perfect both sides) i dont recommend limber from victas (about 40 degree sponge)
Perfect blade in my opinion, high throw, easy to play very good rotation, very good control, maybe fl handle is more conic than real Fl.
I will use xiom omega v tour on both sides

If you enjoyed Yasaka MARK V, get Yasaka Rakza 7, or Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft.
It's a direct upgrade that feels almost the same except faster and spinnier.

Many similar rubbers have very different... hmm.. feel?
Rakza 7 has the same feel as Mark V. But again, faster and spinnier.

I have a 1550 rating if that helps? And I am using Mark V HPS not the soft version.

Is the rakza harder than the Mark V or is it about the same? And how much different is the control? I've used mark V before and absolutely loved the control but still felt like I wasn't getting enough speed on my shots.

For me Xiom Omega 5 Asia 2mm work great and easy as a walk in the park on Rossi Emotion and should fit with Aruna too.
If you go to Omega 7, let it be Pro or Asia, if you prefer the harder. I would not recomend the very hard Omega 7 Tour for these blades.

Thank you. I share Lightzy's recommendations of Rakza 7 and Rakza 7 Soft depending on what hardness you're looking for. They are more modern rubbers that would fit your playing level well if you get them in 1.9mm.

Your Mark V HPS is very hard at 50 degree, R7 is 47.5 deg and R7 Soft is 40 deg. It's a big step down in hardness from HPS to R7 Soft which might feel weird at first or altogether, R7 Soft would offer slightly less power but more control and spin. Rakza 7 would probably be a more natural switch because of his sponge hardness, you'd lose a little control and power but you would largely gain in spin.

Another option for you could be Andro Rasanter R42, right in between those in terms of sponge hardness, you'd gain much in control and spin while not loosing much in power. Could be a very good option for you in 2.0mm.

What's your level / USATT rating? What blade and rubbers are you playing with now?

B, i find fastarc g1 is perfect forhand rubber

BryanY · Jan 26, 2019

I guess it’s mandatory in every thread for someone to recommend Xiom Vega Pro. So... I’ll just go ahead and say it.

(Personally I use JOOLA Rhyzm-P [max thickness] and love it. Not too fast. Not too slow. Not too catapulty. )

Konrad Bak · Jan 27, 2019

TEnergy 05 was awful.
Too stiff
The throw was too high and
I had problems even with passive block I overshoot everything
I find Quadri has very thick contact so the throw of rubber should be lower than 05
