Recommendation for FH and BH rubbers

[doppelmoral]

I would say Fastarc G1, but you are looking for a soft topsheet

You can try Vega Pro, not bouncy, softer feel, slightly more aggressive than Rakza 7. but they are similar overall

Stiga Mantra Pro is very good too, but feels like a boosted fastarc g1. feels softer than its hardness. can be a bit bouncy but very easy to play and to spin. both M and H can work on your forehand

Vega Korea is soft and bouncy, its more a backhand rubber. its more spinny and has more grip than rozena but plays similarly overall

Hello friend!

I play with Dna hybrid. Have played with both medium and hard. I think its a good rubber. Just so you know it is a tacky kind of rubber. So Mantra Pro Medium would be a good choice i reckon. Or DNA hybrid M.

Best of luck mate!

Thanks everyone for their guidances.

As I could never get an hands on on the rubbers you all suggested. ( Try and play it myself in the club).

Found Vega Pro too hard.

My technique is poor so I brush from the topsheet.. ( hence need it soft and grippy)

I just went ahead with Rozena 1.9mm meanwhile..

Hop that has more control and a tad less bounciness = hence more shots on the table)

I prefer normal inverted rubbers.

I don't like the Chinese tacky rubbers.

Also I prefer the rubbers lighweight so that my raquet remains balanced.

Medium hard sponges as I believe hard sponges have dense sponges which add more weight

On a hardness scale that would be probably (45 degrees). I don't know much you can check the history of rubbers I have used, maybe that gives an idea.

may make the raquet even more head heavy.

Also, has anyone here used Genius supreme , Xiom Vega Pro/europe, stiga mantra ?

I checked them and they are easily available to buy near me.. so I was wondering if anyone has used it and how they compare with Rozena, Rakza 7

Fastarc G-1 I have no clue about .But what I have heard is it's a heavy rubber.

I have no problems using more stroke. Rozena has restricted me to compact strokes.

As soon as I switch to Rakza I can swing my arm fully , the only problem being power( i.e speed) and somewhere a tad more spin.


I may have used grippy rubbers ( spare my knowledge here.. maybe Andro Hexer duro was like that).

I don't like Chinese rubbers.. i.e dhs hurricane.. as I do not have that technique plus they are heavy.

Sole purpose is to keep your feet and you nimble quick to attack block change from BH to FH

I have xiom vega elite 2.1 on fh and 2.3 on bh

If not try stiga dragon grip

If not try stiga dragon grip

OP has said they found Vega Pro too hard, and also that they don't like sticky Chinese rubbers or heavy rubbers. I think that rules out Dragon Grip pretty well- even though its not particularly sticky, its much harder than VP, and its also not that light.

Nothing wrong with Rozena, it's a very good rubber. It's a great rubber to start to learn to close the angle and brush over the ball consistently. It produces good quality while still being very forgiving - I would say there's very little reason to change from Rozena until you're very consistent with it.
