Need help on Backhand rubber.

[hazzaa96]

Hi I’m debating as well as going back and forth between 3 rubbers for my backhand on the Ovtcharov innerforce ALC:

Fastarc G1
Rakza 7 Hard
Rakza 7

Having tried all 3 I felt Rakza 7 hard was too hard and fast to control.

G1 I liked and the looping on my backhand was as good as it ever has been but found I lacked a bit of control blocking heavy topspin and pushing.

The normal Rakza 7 I liked a lot in terms of the control with pushing, touch play and blocking heavy spin, but at times felt it was a little slow on topspin’s and opening loops.

My question is should I persevere with one of these rubbers or has anyone else got any other rubber recommendations?

Thanks in advance

I would go with Rakza 7 ... better a bit slow than too fast and not being able to control, I guess. it's been a while since I played with R7 on BH, I did like it, but I recently really liked Hammond Z2 on BH, maybe you could give it a try, but if you say R7H was too much, then Hammon might be too much, too. I used to play with D09c on both sides so ... I don't have problems with hard(er) rubbers on BH, luckily.

btw - did you manage to weigh the R7H?

Thanks for the advice mate.

Unfortunately I didn’t get the Rakza 7 hard weighed apologies

Totally agree with @Yurifi's advice: better slow than uncontrolled..
