I had this racket for like 4-5 years but I stopped playing due to studies and not getting enough time, now as my highschool is coming to an end I will start playing again.
This is a butterfly A.MAZUNOV-FL paddle and xiaom Asia rubber, I don't know much about it as I am fairly mediocre player (played 2 years, casually), and also as it was gifted to me by someone who didn't played anymore, so didn't have a choice there as my old one was a pre-made gki something which was crap compared to this. But guess now this is crap too.
Pics of the rubber The huge dark area on the red rubber is sort of melted as it's sinked and also brittle and has cracks(not visible in the pic), also don't mind the slash on the rubber, its me in the early days whacking the table 😅, and the messed up looking part on the black rubber is mushy, sorry I didn't get the pic right.
I know the fact that this can't be fixed, just wanted to know what exactly happened, when I was playing, it had some mushy part around the bottom, and I didn't pay any attention to it. Later I stored it in the hard case, and was not exposed to sunlight, humidity is also very less in my area, becomes moderate in the rain, and was kept in my closet for 2 years.
Also, please suggest some rubbers to buy, my budget is around 30$ even less would be preferable, and I live in India, mentioned that because some popular cheap rubbers mentioned in this forum were not cheap at all let alone to be found, major brands are available here.
Thankyou in advance.
Edit: Also I can't post links to the pic, so I guess just imagine??😅
Edit2: forgot to mention, budget is 30$ in total, both forehand and backhand rubber, I'm not rich enough to play 30$ for single side
