Hi! I’ve been playing for about 10 months, usually 2–3 times a week, and it’s time to update my setup since my current one is wearing out. My coach is a good player but not very knowledgeable about equipment, so I’d like some advice.
I currently use a Donic Burn Off- blade with Quantum X Pro on the forehand and Quantum X Pro Soft on the backhand. Lately, I’ve been flipping the racket and using Quantum X Pro on both sides because I’m more comfortable with its hardness and I get more consistent spin and speed. What i noticed with the QXP is that it requires very precise response to heavy underspin balls, not that i think i want something more forgiving, just wanted to point this out that sometimes i struggle with this, but it can be due to its age as well, as the main reason i am considering the switching is that both rubbers has the tendency to let the ball fall off during looping, producing weird sound. (They have been reglued to make sure its not the problem)
I’m still working on the basics—like reliable looping—so I want something I can use for the next 5–7 months without expecting a miracle from the equipment.
I’m considering:
Nittaku Fastarc G1 or C1 (both around 51$ here)
Yasaka Rakza 7 ($45)
Victas V>15 Extra ($40, on sale)
Donic Baracuda ($48)
Or anything else you suggest,
I am not sure if i should use different or same rubber to FH and BH, accept comments to this as well.
Any experience with these or other rubbers i should try in your opinion?
