Replace Stiga Hybrid M on FZD ALC

[AdamH]

Went from BS and 8-80 (BH) to 2x Stiga Hybrid M due to lack of strength to generate the spinn I wanted.

The FZD pairs really well with the Stiga Hybrid M however the sponge is a bit compact and the topp sheet feels just a little thick in activation.

Works on FH but now after some time I want more spinn on both sides but above all something that isn't as hard as 47.5 on BH.

I really like the speed of FZD, I notice and dislike the speed difference between the Viscaria and FZD.

D09c too hard.
Don't like the G1.
Got the C1 (FastArc) but it worked better on the Harimoto for some reason but it had to much bounce. Weird since the C1 sits well on the Stiga Clipper.

DNA Platinum and the Helix version is also to lively. I like to chop, slice.

Reason why I like the Hybrid M. The should have produced it with less volume and made the toppsheet surface thinner.

I like the mushy tensor of Xiom VK but it is too dead and the top surface is a bit to thick / mushy.

I have tried ChatGPT but to be honest I am at a dead end here.

The Rakza Z I tried on another blade a year ago but I think it is to thick for me to penetrate and get enough speed out.

I am not that strong.

The Xiom EU Hybrid seems aldo to be kinda neutral, but seems to want heavier stroke than I can generate in power close.

Atleast the 8-80 I could more often go full power but my line was so straight. The Hybrid M I don't feel comfortable going all arm BH swing since I lack the volume to put behind.

Rakza (Soft versions) seems to have similar sponge as the C1 and I think I tried a 2.0 mm X one and it was a bad missmatch as it could be.

Unfortenately the Stiga Hybrid M rewarded the Ma Lin Extra Offensive in the BH for its weight but more harder composition as a resistance and gave me more depth from the table. Not full out of mind swing but I could swing.

Still it wasn't good in other aspects.

Just a recite what the M version demands in my BH.

So I want to move forward but alas... What rubber to try?

Setup at 183-184g, used to play at 192-193g DHS.

So not linnear sponge but close, like the modern sponge of Stiga, just a little to hard compact volume weight just a little.

Want more spinn on both sides however BH focus on softer.

Outer layer if possible towards a little mushy, love a little slow wilder. So I can strawberry and chop more or full swing from distance.

Anything that gets me more than that of the Stiga M Hybrid is worth gold.

Funny you mentioned it. I actually bought the Tihbar MK however this was before my BF blades. The Tihbar MK was so bad with the slower, lighter blades I paired it with so I traded it for a C2 Donic which also didn't go well. The same story was for the Xiom EU Hyb aswell.

So there is a part of me that might want to get a Tihbar rubber and try it on a BF blade. But I would be dissapointed if it wasn't miles better from when I tried it the first time.

I have been struggling with the right BH rubbers, at some point they all feel the same even though they really aren't.
I like Mercury 2 but that's still like a 6/10, just a little better than C1 which just feels lacking everywhere. M2 mainly has a weirdly low looping spin ceiling even if it grabs the ball super nicely. On backspin it's more than adequate.

My guess is Glayzer might be good, G09c if you insist on hybrid. I think in some ways G09c could be a nice step up from M2.

Funny. Heard about Mercury and C1 is either Donic or FastArc. Better club players played M2 I have tried M1 which seemed like a safe rubber. Most people will be stronger than me so I need to keep that in mind. I love doing full swings far back from the table but most times there isn't time to get the space needed and with less force it won't work going in since I want more forward speed and not skimm for spinn.

A good test is doing BH and BH attack with a partner and see where your breaking point is until you become passive in either block, lift or fail to add speed and spinn (or you add spinn or speed without getting the other).

From the table it should feel good going hard in. 8-80 worked somewhat even better on inner with more help but for me on the FZD the line and absent spinn was to much.

The Glayzer09c is also kinda safe. Now I have tried max on 2 blades and the 1.9 mm on 2 other but it didn't work on BH for me, could have been the blades somewhat. I want a longer stroke through but my force is better to be in a shorter one close to the table and even then my force gap is short and usually much lower. I do acknowledge that getting more out even over from mid table is a bit out of the question. Hence why physical training is on the schedule.

Found oddities that work here but drops on other parts.

Like a South Korean blade with Loki or Xiom rubber. High empty balls in BH no problem to go high and hit.

Or a nice Yasaka Extra 3D with Rakza X Max. The guy having that has a worldclass BH.

But I like the depth power of the FZD where the Viscaria fades. 3-4 meter from the table in rally FZD shines to keep the power up.

ChatGPT gave me this.

Tibhar Hybrid MK FX (Bought the MK prior to my BF blades was similar to Xiom EU Hyb) needed more of multiply things, badly matches blades
Donic BlueGrip S2
Andro Rasanter R45 (tried 48 on Septear Nittaku nice but rubber seemed very neutral and was a bit slow on the Nittaku)
Xiom Omega VII Euro
Yasaka Rakza Z (regular to hard to follow through)
Xiom Vega China
Tibhar Evolution FX-P
Donic Acuda S2 (I remember as damped old gen rubber and springy)
Nittaku Hammond Z2
Xiom Jekyll & Hyde V47.5(tried the 52 way too hard and schitzo when active and not)
Nittaku Sieger PK50 (too hard)
Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (No)
Nittaku Fastarc C-1 (Not on FZD)
Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft (Too springy sponge and other stuff)
Xiom Vega Europe (the EU Hyb was to hard and bad on other blades)
Xiom Vega Europe DF

Besides these K3, Victas, some others have been mentioned.

Tenergy is a no
Dignics is a no

I don't mind another blade but funny enough if I could choose I would like more flex, thinner blade still I think I need carbon.

Also don't think max is ideal, the weight helps and nice with a sponge in block but the Hyb M is defintive too much but it doesn't come in less.

Fascinated watching a Div1 guy playing Michael Maze OFF with T05 regular with 2.1 and 1.9. Looks great.

So hopes up to find a natural match. I suffer more for boredom because it only took over a month to go from 8-80 to prefer Hyb to wanting more spinn to play with.

I need the challenge or the gameplay becomes to boring.

I train too much. 7 of 9 last days. Having a 2 day break. But now my motivation goes down because I feel like I want more.

I am like Gauzey fed a squrriel.

Thanks for the reply. Seems we have a similar journey ❤️

Might need to buy it again.

Had it before used it 2 times it was awful on the blades I had.

ChatGPT recommend ed that and the FX version.

Andro Nuzn 48 maybe?

A Nuzn came up in a previous prompt a while back.

I actually bought this but it was paired awfully (hopefully). I am on BF blades now. I might need to go FX but then the question begs how it works overall.

The Stiga Hybrid M just lacks a little here and there so.

I still wouldn't trust chatgpt with any gear advice. I have tried, with very specific prompts, but the amount of hallucinations is just too much (making up facts that just don't exist like Viscaria has a Limba surface) and curating the sources it uses too strictly will just give the information you can find on those websites yourself (and you can interpret them better as a human being).

One could try to train a model on well curated data, but even when you have all the facts correct it is still also a matter of combination of rubber, blade, and personal preference (feeling).
