Thanks so much for the advice, can you tell me what blades this rubbers are paired with?
Cheers
Often people who read too much on the internet get this idea that certain rubbers only pair well with certain blades. This is not true. Any rubber does what it does. Any blade does what it does. Any offensive rubber will work on any All, All+, Off-, Off or Off+ blade. Most offensive rubbers work fine on defensive blades too.
Where people get the idea that certain rubbers work better with certain blades from people trying things they are not used to and expecting them to FEEL different. Like, say you had someone who was playing with T05 on a Korbel blade and then they tried T05 on a Viscaria and did not like the fact that the Viscaria was so much harder than the Korbel. Well they might actually not realize that and think what they did not like was the T05 on the Viscaria and they may walk away thinking, "T05 does not pair well with Viscaria."
The rubber still does what it does. The blade still does what it does. But when you are used to one combination and you try a different combination, you won't always like the feel at first. If you played with the setup long enough you would get used to how the new setup felt. The new setup may or may not be good for you. But you would still get used to how it felt after a time of using it.
And if you used T05 on a Viscaria for long enough and then tried T05 on a Korbel, you may have the same experience in reverse. You may think, T05 works really well on Viscaria but it does not work on Korbel.
I used to work in a hot yoga studio. People would walk in the lobby and say: "wow, it is hot in here." They would get dressed, go into the yoga classroom and then they would say: "wow, it is hot in here." After doing a 90 min practice in a room heated to 110-degrees F (43.33-degrees C) they would walk out of the classroom into the lobby and say: "Wow, it is cold in here." The temperature of the lobby was the same. Now, was it hot or cold in the lobby? The reason for the drastically different experiences to the same actual temperature room is what they had gotten themselves used to. People saying one rubber does not work with some particular blade is really much more like the lobby in the yoga center than people often realize.
