Rubbers for Nittaku Acoustic Carbon (Outer)

[biaxialerzug]

Hi,
EJ kicked in and I bought a Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Outer.
Normally playing T05 on FH and T80 on BH, both 1,9mm.
Want to try some ESN oder Japan rubber, hardness not more than the T05/T80. Any suggestions? Thought about G1 or C1.

If you like bounce rubbers like Tenergy it's difficult give you alternatives, Fastarc are tensor but aren't bounce rubbers but linear not like Tenergy. What are you looking for: more control, more spin, short game, etc?

 

[biaxialerzug]

Maybe a little bit less bounce and a bit more control. That’s enough.

Dignics good alternative to tenergy , generally less catapult more linear

Don‘t want to spend so much money on new rubbers. Therefore ESN/Nittaku because it’s cheaper here in Germany.

Loki have bought out a new version of the Telson 100 that uses an ESN sponge layer -- they're calling it the Telson Germany. Given the OP's criteria, it might possibly be worth a go. It's available in both 45 and 47.5 degree sponge.

Even though Loki is a Chinese company, the original Telson 100 uses a Japanese top sheet and genuinely feels / plays like a Japanese non-tacky BH rubber. The standard 47.5 degree T100 feels pretty similar to a Tenergy 05 Hard IMO. I actually have a couple of sheets of the Telson Germany in 47.5 degrees at home -- purely as a suck-it-and-see EJ experiment -- but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Only thing I can tell you about the TG at this point is that in a sponge-squeeze test, the TG sponge felt a tiny bit softer than the regular T100 sponge (despite supposedly having the same hardness of 47.5)

According to Loki's info sheets, the TG is supposed to be a hair slower than the regular T100, and suggests it might have a tiny bit more spin potential as well.

Haven't read or seen any 3rd party reviews for the TG yet, but the original T100 is genuinely a good BH rubber and is frankly excellent value for money, as well as being quite Tenergy-like in its performance. Will upload my thoughts on the TG once I do get a chance to try it out.

Bouncing: Rozena and less speed.

Not bouncing: Dignics.

Stiga Mantra pro H and/or M.
Japanese Rubber, decent price, lower trow, not as bouncy as tenergy

 

[tzifos]

Stiga Mantra pro H and/or M and Fastarc G1 and/or C1 are very good and "safe" choices, durable also!

Does the TG share the same topsheet with the T100? And if so, how was the durability of it?

Look forward to reading your thoughts on the TG once you've had a chance to truly put it the the paces.

Joola Tronix ACC, good spin and arc. Very nice to loop with

Stiga Mantra pro H and/or M and Fastarc G1 and/or C1 are very good and "safe" choices, durable also!

I went for G1 and C1 in 1.8 mm. Nice choice, good speed, good feeling!

Great call

Two rubbers for around 80€, 110€ for the Acoustic G-Revision. Great "low-cost" setup!
