I'm really surprised that nobody mentioned omega 7 series and only one guy mentioned dna platinium series. Both of these rubbers are faster. Also joola ryhzer pro 50 is probably faster but not much.
bluestorm turbo z1 is also a rocket. I think dignics 80 is also faster.
gewo pro el 50 and 53 are also noticeably faster.

Well a lot of those rubbers you mentioned are only faster because they are harder. I guess I should've said, which rubbers are faster within the same 47 degree hardness category?

I don't want to start a new thread so I'll piggy-back this thread to ask my question, if I may.

I have been using MX-P for my FH for close to a year now. It is now showing signs of wear and tear and is time to look for a replacement.

Should I buy back MX-P which I have come to love and grown fond off. Or should I be a little more adventurous and seek out its more muscled brother, i.e., MX-P 50 aka MX-P Hard.

Any help here?
Since then, have you already tried the MX-P 50?

No, my friend. I am still undecided but probably will stay with MXP regular for now. I think it is good enough for me at my current level. I shall not over-step my ability for the time-being.

MX-D is definitely faster than MX-P but just harder to activate. I don't know if it's just me but it definitely felt spinnier as well.
MX-D has I think a 51 degree sponge, so the impact needs to be stronger to get into the sponge... which is more or less true of any firm sponge rubber, but there are a few out there with supple topsheets that make it feel easier, like Tibhar Aurus.

Right now on the SDC Blades Mandalorian, I can pound an incoming topspin with Aurus so fast it sounds loud like I be trying to break the sound barrier.

LDM7 is using MX-D and just loves it on his direct hits and power loops, but he can make heavy slow spin easily if he gets position and leverage then choose that shot... and he uses a rocketship blade too, one of the bry supers.

His rubber is MX-D fh and Aurus bh.

If anyone hasn't noticed my posts over the last few months, I slapped a new sheet of Aurus on fh after 10 yrs not using it and have been very happy with the pace and spin... like using MX-K with more landing percentage.

I can hit harder confidently with this rubber... people back in the day said that about Sriver kind of rubbers.

To what grid coordinate can we place the decoy fake rare Pikachu holding the new rubber as a carry item in Pokémon GO to lure all the EJs to drool where Carl wants them ??
Well one Pikachu would be positioned over a trap door into Carls Hideaway Septic tank.
And to put the cat amongst the pigeons,
another could be found outside ESN’s factory gate holding the latest version of BTY Tenernics (or whatever it may be called), However it would cost 3 times the going rate to collect this Pikachu!!!
The 3rd outside a table tennis themed comedy club in Beijing holding a sheet of the latest .’tacky’ ESN/BTY offering!!!!

IB66, usually, Carl likes the fake Pikachu to be right behind his trap door on the Brooklyn Bridge... There is something appealing to Carl about groups of men jumping into the river below that is like nothing else.

You may have missed all of his jump off the bridge pic memes over the years.

From what I remember the Z1 Turbo is simply a catapult monster without any need of activation. I was a very long time ago, but to me the Z1T was not playable on a fast carbon blade.

So it might be a blade decision - Z1T for an OFF blade, Z1 for an OFF+ blade

It's faster than MX-P but doesn't feel like a catapult monster for me. I love it for blocking and flicking on my backhand. I'm using it on a TB ALC.
