Get a 5 ply all wood blade that is either All or Off-. Loki V5 is fine. Sanwei Echo or Parla is also superb. They are cheap but quality is good.Instantly fell in love with Rakza Z when I tried it, having played with H3 for a while, but I am an amateur and I would like to have a rubber where I have to work in the right technique to use it. Rakza Z feels like it automates the action because it holds on to the ball and still sends back opponents spin. It turned my style into a blocker because I win most points by passively using my opponents spin and controlling the ball instead of developing sufficient technique to generate my own spin efficiently. Every rubber has its upsides and downsides ... it would also help if there was a slower version for my level. Do you guys think going from 2.0 mm to 1.8 mm would work?
God, N80. I had two N80 and I hate it to the bone. The rubber behaved like nothing I have experienced before. It was godly in counter looping scenarios but when looping or pushing, it was like a box of chocolate. It might be stupidly spinny or no spin at all. Serving was incredible tho. I only spent a month with it then I went back to B2.I have these rubber. Unfortunately, without a booster it is not so good. In addition, I have Loki N80, which works better than Jupiter, but it also requires a booster plus baby oil. I wish I had a rubber that worked just as well without a booster.
