I don't know if I would put this in any real order:

Forehand rubbers:

Tenergy 05
Tenergy 64
Hurricane III NEO
Xiom Omega IV Pro

Backhand Rubbers:

Tenergy 05 FX
Tenergy 64
Tenergy 05
Xiom Omega IV Europe

There are lots of other rubbers that are okay and fine but that I don't really like and top 10 seems like a lot for rubbers when really, there are only a few rubbers I really want to use. If money was not an issue, I would just go with Tenergy 05 for my forehand and Tenergy 05 FX for my backhand.

I am about to change my setup to this:

Stiga Allround Evolution
Xiom Omega IV Pro (black) FH
Xiom Omega IV Europe (red) BH

The rubbers are on their way. I have tried them. I like them. I am making that change because it was recommended to me by a friend who is a pro. He said that, for what I need to work on I should use softer Euro/Japanese type rubbers and work on letting the ball sink into the rubber and letting the rubber grab the ball instead of using the Hard Chinese rubbers I have been using on my forehand.

Many people change now to Xiom rubbers, i also play them a long time now, and i really like it. Especially a hard Vega IV Pro on my backhand. Nice to see that they can compete in european markets so well. With about 40€ they are maybe just above average but worth it's money for intermediary players like us :)
