What rubber should i consider after playing with Rozena?

[Matej T]

So i have been playing with korbel europe and rozena for about a month but i dod not like it so i was considering to buy viscaria but i was not ready yet so i bought korbel japan to fix the issue of not liking the blade, now that´i played with japan korbel for about a week i can say i like it and i play better. But the rubbers are starting to wear out because i play 10 - 12 hours a week so i dont know what rubbers to get after. Im still imrpoving super fast and beating better players almost every 2 weeks so what are my options, my playstyle is offensive and my bh is not my strong point on the other hand fh is great. Almost all of the players in the club play t05 so i was thinking about that or G-1.

If you like the feel of Rozena, then try T80, which feels like Rozena, but with more top end.

Easy step up TGY 05. You didn't like G-1 because isn't bouncy as BTY Rozena or TGY 05.

N.B. I like more linear rubbers like G-1 but if you have to deal like me with 5 plies all wood blades or defensive blades is needed the use of bouncy rubbers.

i never said i didnt like g1... but you said it has less bounce so its better for short game too? And its harder so its faster then t05 when i generate the power?

Yeah korbel is 5 ply so it makes sense but in the future i want to buy alc blabe for sure due to my playstyle and i dont want to change my gear that often but i think i will keep my blade for at least a year... maybe earlier if i stick to this serious training and play more intensly and more overall idk i cant see the future.

You not, me I'm saying you don't like G-1 coming from Rozena.

TGY05 is more speed and spin than Rozena and also bouncy so more similar than G-1.

But no one other rubber like Rozena can control your shots if you aren't well positioned.

I dont rly know if i like the rozena before that i used some cheap thibar rubbers so rozena is better fs but i have played with zlc blade and d05 but the blade was too stiff for me but i think i liked the rubbers but i cant say ofc. its just idk what is the best followup to rozena so i dont break my development and technique im not that advanced im still learning.

you think i can handle t05 short game? with rozena its preety good

 

[merlin el mago]

You can play with the TGY05 thickness so starting with 1.7

T05 isn't easy as Rozena but you gain more speed, spin so you have to pay for less control and more incoming spin sensible rubber.

Why do you need a follow up to Rozena if you are not that advanced and still learning? Zhu Yuling reached WR #1 using Rozena, winning the World Cup and finishing second in WTTC.

I have played with many sheets of Rozena and T80. The obvious upgrade path is T80 if you want more top end. If you want to spend less $$, then try Glayzer, it's a grippier version of Rozena.

If you have no real opinion of what I am describing, then just stick with Rozena. You are asking unanswerable questions if you don't know what you like.

I would question the assumption that the Rozena tha Zhu Yuling used to reach WR #1 is the same Rozena that you can buy on the streets. She also mentions it could have been a psychological factor to using a different performing rubber against her team mate opponents who were used to her equipment that was the factor in her wins.

G1!

NB: But you all might be wondering, how on earth is a self proclaimed Butterfly fan-boi recommending a non-BTY rubber? It is because for Rozena / Tenergy & Tfx; one thing I absolutely hate is that the side just crumble like bits of biscuit / cookies. They are so brittle... hate it! Hate it massively.

Dignics . Or Zyre if you have the budget

Inochi-san,

when are you going to change to the King of Rubber? You live in Japan; you are super lucky, BTY rubber is so cheap over there. Not using is crime against humanity!

 

[SorryForTheEdge]

If you are after durable rubbers go Zyre 03 2.7 FH and Zyre 03 2.5 BH.
Jokes aside, just get new Rozena if it works for you and you have no complaints. New rubbers will give you more speed and spin than your outdated ones, while keeping a similar feel.

 

[Ultravisitor]

You could try Stiga Mantra Pro m or h.
Feels similar but more topendspeed and more spin.

One of my teammates bought Zyre03 for both FH and BH . I tried it for a few balls but didn’t like it, and I’m used to my setup so I don’t plan to change

Did you try it on another blade or your blade? You might like it on a different blade, it's just a matter of discovering the right combination. I believe any rubber and any blade can work for a play if paired correctly. But ofc it takes a lot of time and experimentation.

It was on his blade. If I recall correctly it’s Tibhar Alexis Lebrun Carbon. I’m sure it can work for many players but I prefer my setup

 

[Infernal]

Try Tenergy 19.
