Rubber like Xiom Vega Europe w/ slightly higher throw & not slower? + Blade effect?
Hi all,
As per the title, I'm looking for something like Xiom Vega Europe as I like softer rubbers. However, I was considering something with a slightly higher throw angle (not too much), same speed (or slightly faster), and very similar medium/soft feeling. I tried Rakza 7 Soft, which was nearly it, but a bit slower than I wanted - was otherwise close. I ruled out Rasant Beat cause it's going the way of the dodo.
Somewhat considering:
* Tibhar FX-P (unsure about speed compared to XVE though, & not sold on it)
* TSP Ventus Spin (but would prefer something newer)
* Nittaku Fastarc S-1 is 45 degree, which appears to be a bit harder than preferable, unless it's different irl.
Was thinking about Rasanter R37, Rasanter R42 and Rasanter V42. The current plan is to put a V42 on one side, then either R37, R42, V42, XVE on the other side, although I'm worried the R37 might be a bit TOO soft and slower than XVE, and the R42 might be a bit TOO higher throw and bouncy compared to XVE.
Has anyone out there used R37, R42, V42, XVE with the same blade, or could comment somewhat objectively on hardness/speed/throw angles between them?
Lastly, I've been using the Stratus Power Wood, but going to try the Nittaku Acoustic for greater feel and wanting a slightly slower blade. Could this become a bit too 'dwelly', or change the throw angle noticeably enough to not even worry about looking for a higher throw rubber? I've come full circle now *sigh*.
Apologies for the length, any comments are much appreciated!
