Which backhand rubber should I get?

[Edan]

So, I play a Nittaku S-Series S-CZ and Nittaku Genextion on both sides. About 2 years ago when I bought the racket I didn t really know much about the degrees part. Now I realize that its pretty hard to hit backhand shots because the sponge is too hard and ive been noticing this since i got it. I ve been looking forward to changing my backhand rubber only because even after 2 years my forehand rubber is still hanging on quite well. Im a aggresive player, but the block is a pretty big part in my game. Im decent close to the table but im way better far from it.I would say spin is probably the thing thats hanging it all together because ive gotten used to this rubber and im really good at producing spin. I have a budget around 80-90 euros.
Which rubber should I choose to replace my backhand ?

What is your ranking ? What else your expecting beside blocking ? Do you tospin with your backhand ?

-i dont have a ranking, im a good player but i dont have one.
-Well I want a rubber which is easy to produce spin and power at the same time, a bit tacky to help me on close to the table,and also be good at blocking
-Yes i do topspin with my backhand but its pretty hard to do it.

since you come from genextion and you use nittaku gear, take fastarc c1 or fastarc g1 for your backhand. both are good in 2.0mm

c1 is a bit softer and easier to play. g1 is also a great option

I may seem pretty stupid saying this but what about the butterfly rubbers,DHS?

A great blocking rubber that also works a bit further from the table is D80.
I would throw T19 in here also as two rubbers I have tried and liked.
What do teammates or club mates have that you can try first because the selection of rubbers to an open-ended question like this is huge.
How is your BH technique across the different shots?
How important is the short game on BH to you?
How good is your pushing game on BH?
Because the two rubbers I mentioned perform quite differently but depending on your level, playstyle, tactics, technique etc they may work well or not but they are expensive mistakes to make 🤷

c1 is good enough for you if you are learning backhand fundamentals.g1 is great and can be used by advanced players

which rubber you use in the end is much less important than learning the proper technique. but genextion can definitely be too hard.

therefore, keep it simple: order fastarc c1 or g1 and go back to practise!

Butterfly rozena can be good , dhs is mostly tacky and not tensor so quite difficult but I personally love the gold arc 8 47.5 1.8mm for backhand its an european tensor i found it very stable on blocks

Well ive been practicing for 6 years now, and I cant borrow any of my teammates rackets but a few years ago, I tried a racket with dhs hurricane 3 neo on both sides and I liked it really much but I knew that it was risky to swap this fast to tacky chinese rubbers so I bought something that I was familiar with, hard european rubbers.
Im better far from the table than close on backhand but I hit the flicks well, for the close game thats what i need, a sticky rubber that helps me with flicks and short cuts. The pushing game is alright. So in conclusion im good at everything but still need to develop the technique even more because its never perfect.

H3 is not good at blocking, especially passive block. TG3 is even worse. G1 is probably the best inverted rubber that I know for block. Mantra Pro XH is also good, so I guess the softer versions M and S, can work for your BH.

Fun fact: Mima Ito play style includes blocking near the table and she uses G1 50 degrees on FH and Moristo SP on BH.

Make every shot an instagramable shot every time.

I agree to this. Feels like genextion might be too much for you at this moment.

If you want to know more about hurricane 3 neo check this out. Totally different from the genextion rubbers tough, so if you change you will need time and effort to adjust. I love them, but it's not for everybody! https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/fo...-neo-the-complete-amateur-guide-review.38949/

What do you like better about MK FX compared to Nuzn 45?

 

[Edan]

So should I get the nittaku fastarc g1 or tenergy 05 or dignics 05? I have time to adjust

it was on a different blade, was a little faster and I had a lower throw but this may be the blade…
