tenergy is spinny and durable. been serving lots of heavy spinned services before. currently using joola energy right now but it's not as spinny as tenergy

You can try to restore the rubbers grip with olive oil? I haven't tried it yet but a member of my team says it works. I think there is a tutorial somewhere on this forum but I have absolutely no idea where.

Tenergy is good, but as you mentioned you don't have a tree that produces money, so I'd suggest you try Tibhar's Aurus-series or Genius-series they are durable and have good spin. Donic's Baracuda and Acuda-series have a lot of spin too but I really don't now if they last longer than average.

tenergy 05 is very spinny and durable but its also very expensive, its the most durable among the new gen rubbers that ive tried

What the hell did you do to your rubbers? I've been playing with Rakza Soft since september and the rubber is still in good shape...

sir i play daily 5 hours i will post pics as well soon maybe nd it wasnt soft as well it was rakza 7 hard

Rakza 7 is not durable at all. I have a friend who has been using them only 5 hours a week since September and he's already noticing a difference in grip. I would suggest either of the two Chinese rubbers Hurricane or Skyline for service but they do take quite some getting used to.

If you want something spinny for serving you should try Chinese rubber, Hurricane III Neo, Skyline III Neo, Blue Whale II or Blue Whale III. These are spinny and versatile.

Indeed Sir Carl, but to achieve such high amount of spin, one needs to use more force since it is harder to break the bond between the glutinous rubber and the ball..
Once one get used to it, the amount of spin is amazing.

I believe this is also why many people trying to use chinese rubber to improve their spin get shocked why the spin in their serves got reduced..

Funny, I never noticed that.

But Chinese rubber definitely gets more spin on the touch shots is my experience. I think it is just that you brush the ball more and the ball does not have to sink in as much because of the tackiness.

Well, I think it is because of the rock hard sponge. Right?

It is both the tackiness and harder sponge(haven't seen a rock hard yet) that give you slow speed and much spin in touch shots.

IMO Chinese rubbers are best for spinny service. Love the tackiness touch and you can stand and admire how the ball is curving
