FH Rubber for Gergely Alpha?

Hello TTD!
So, I will be using Gergely Alpha now with pips (Armstrong Attack 8M) and I'm currently searching for suitable FH rubbers.
I know Gergely Alpha is a stiff blade so I was wondering if I should use soft rubbers? Or can I still use medium to hard rubbers?

I can play well with tensors and Tenergy. But I originally use Chinese rubbers. Generally, tensors are softer than Chinese rubbers but they are often fast, so what I need instead is a FH rubber that has a good short game behaviour (not overly fast) and with excellent spin.

Or can I continue using chinese rubbers? I've used a hybrid last time which is Butterfly Spinart.

I am thinking of trying Tenergy 80 because it seems it has better short game behaviour than the T05(which I've used before Spinart). Or maybe softer versions like Ten80fx or T05fx? Or tensors like Barracuda? Could you offer some more options?

Thank you!

EDIT: My playing style is rather all-round with a little bit of aggressiveness. I do not loop a lot, but I loop when I have secured a good chance. My BH is more for punching hence why I used the Attack8M, and my FH is for looping, sort of driving the ball. I finish a point with placement and spin, but not with a loop ala Timo, rather somewhat a drive. I also like to serve short mixing my backspin serves with no-spin serves. When the ball pops I just smash it or drive it to a corner.

Maybe a good ol classic like sriver or mark v will compliment ur fh well...

Well they're certainly control rubbers, but I wouldn't rely for them with the spin department.

Basically,

While soft rubber match hard blade well, doesnt means you are forbidden to use hard rubber.

You can try Butterfly Tenergy 64 FX ~ 2.0 mm If You love Tenergy.

And I feel You are a good candidate for trying Friendship / 729 Aurora ~ 2.0 mm.

I'm scared that Tenergy 64x might be too fast for the Gergely.
Aurora has got good reviews but I can't seem to find one in our country.

I used it with tenergy 05 both sides and it was ok.
this blade has a pretty soft feel due to thick hinoki layers so hard rubbers are a good match.
tenergy might be a bit too bouncy so tensors like rasant might be good choice.
also tibhar evolution.

Do you mean the Gergely Alpha?
And what evolution rubbers? the mx p one?

sebas-aguirre said:

yes that's the one I have.
mx-p is the hardest so maybe el-p or whatever the medium one is called.
I wouldn't use chinese rubbers but really I wouldn't use chinese rubbers in any blade today unless they were boosted.
the difference in performance with the latest european rubbers is too big.

Thanks for the suggestion!
But how is looping with the mx p? and playing characteristic like opening loop, short game, and blocking in the Gergely Alpha?

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Many J-Pen offensive Juggernauts simply love the feel of T64 on their 9-10 mm thick Hinoke 1-Ply J-Pens... An acceptable performing substitute rubber of Tibhar 1Q and MX-P are great too. There are a lot of rubbers that can work, you gotta discover them, hopefully by having a hit with someone's bat.

Sadly, we do not have a large number of players here in our area, and often they do not have all the newest rubbers and blades. Some even plays with Addoy remade bats.
So should I go with medium-hard rubbers? MX-P is good, priced lower than Tenergy, but I've read it's a bit harder and faster?

Hi Harvey bet the 2 rubbers you mentioned i would go for regular rakza7, not the soft one.
