Hi,
I'm looking for a more powerful rubber than the Ventus Spin/Limber for my Yasaka Sweden Extra.
Thanks and best regards,
Erik
Hi Erik,
I'm sure you'll get lots of good advice on this forum, but there are dozens of rubbers that meet the criteria you've stated so if you could give some more detail of specifically what you're looking for that'll help kick off the conversation.
To begin with:
Let us know on these points and then I'm sure you'll get some helpful recommendations.
Best,
Manto
What is Ventus Extra ?
That's the premium rubber in the Ventus series. TSP called it Super Ventus, now it's called Victas Ventus Extra. It is a 47 degrees spinny, fast, but very controllable rubber which is good for fh. I've played it myself. Since you've already played with other Ventus rubbers it seems to be reasonable that you try this. Another option could be the Ventus Stiff (formerly TSP Ventus Speed), that's a 45 degrees rubber, which is a bit softer and slower.
Forgot to mention: If you want a harder, spinnier and faster rubber with little catapult you can also try Nittaku Fastarc G1.
Fastarc G-1 is a classic! Super control, lots of spin, fast-ish (but not super fast) and lasts a long time. Overall excellent value for money.

As per mentioned by others, G-1 is a gd upgrade, i use G-1 and it is very durable and spinny.However, have you thought of changing your blade instead? you can look through yasaka blades since they will have the same blade dimensions as your sweden extra so you can just transfer your ventus to the new blade. you can check out reviews of Ma Lin extra offensive, Goiabao 5, Rose Grade, Extra 3D or Extra 7. These few should give you enough power within taking away too much control for you.Cheers and stay safe

A blade I'm thinking about is Stiga Infinity VPS. At home I have a Stratus Powerwood !
oh why dont you try out your stratus Powerwod first? i have a few friends who play with infinity vps and they like it so i guess that a good sign haha, but i cant really commend about it so you may need to research. the only useful experience that i have is that just having a thicker blade can give you more power even though the 5-ply composition of the thicker and thinner blade are the same. so if infinity VPS is thicker than sweden extra then it can be assumed that Infinity VPS maybe the blade for you

Does the fastarc G-1 work well with a slightly flexible blade like the YSE?
