Yes, it's a legendary rubber.
And it depends on the player, you'd have to try it and decide for yourself

If you have enough skills could you use for both.

Ok tnx , but my blade that is all wood is good for the rubber?

I played your blade and I played G1, though at different times and separately from each other. I think G1 will play well on the forehand on your blade.

G1 has slightly harder top-sheet, hence I'd say is better for FH. The sponge is not very hard though, e.g. I like that sponge hardness on the BH ;-) Anyways, both are personal preferences... And you play with G09C FH and Glayzer BH, which I think is a really good combination. I love Glayzer on the BH... Imho, no need to change... Buuut, no need to not try ;-)

G1 is less sensitive to incoming spin than Glayzer 09C and this makes it easier to play hit/block/receive. At the same time, the short game will be a little worse, but there are no solid pluses without minuses. By the way, I like G1 on the backhand, but only on blades with soft wood on the surface and with internal reinforcement. On blades with koto and external carbon, it is very hard.

probably i will play g1 on fh and razka on bh what do you think?

do you have a way of testing it?

i love my G1. Friend of mine has G1 on both FH and BH and i like it just as much. its just one of those rubbers that at least for me and what i want, is nearly perfect and everything else i can just easily adapt to.

it does absolutely nothing wrong and does about everything really well. and (i cant tell by now because only use G1 for a month now) but one of the huge benefits ontop of being a really nice rubber, based on most G1 users is its durability. Its said to be one of the longest lasting rubbers there is.

so its really nice, it lasts really long, its decently priced. You can prob. give anyone a G1 and they can become a really good competitive player without the rubber ever being the limiting factor and it can also go on sale... i mean, whats not to love about it really?

Good rubber looks like a good set. After you start playing, try to turn the racket, maybe Rakza Z will suit you better for forehand and G1 for backhand. I also recommend taking Raza in red. I noticed that sticky rubbers in red are stickier and more durable than black ones. For rubbers without stickiness, this is less important.
There are entire forum threads about Rakza Z itself, but in a nutshell, firstly, it has a sticky surface, a softer sponge and topsheet, it is slower, has a longer dwell time and more spin and is more sensitive to incoming spin, as well as a higher angle than G1.
And one more very important observation. To care for Rakza Z, use only water and a sponge - No cleaners! My friend used a cleaner and very quickly a cloudy spot without stickiness appeared in the center of the rubber and the rubber deteriorated. At the same time, on the other side there was sticky Glayzer 09C and everything was fine with it. Apparently the rubber composition is different.
I use only water and it lasted much longer for me.

G1 is a good rubber and many in Japan and Taiwan uses it and the range is quite wide - from beginner to semi pro.

that's why I'm looking for a sponsor

I don't think this is how it works.
you need to be a somebody, that can do something, for the brands, in return for goods for free.
I think you are not asking for sponsorship, but a donation.

Imo, you will be more respected if you get a small job and work your way to your equipment (sounds like you a kid/student and low on budget). Also, Razka Z isn't cheap, stay within your means and maybe don't use Butterfly since they cost a lot.

then one day, when you feel you have something to offer brands - something that many of us here can't, then maybe you have some value, you a somebody and the brands needs you. Until then, the chances of that happening is very slim and putting effort into a part time job to buy your rubbers will probable be more meaningful and quicker.

PS I am able to ask brands to give me things for free, but I don't do it unless I want to test thing specifically for the sake of business.
