  1. Medium hard rubber for backhand

    If you wanted more from Vega Europe but found Vega X was too fast. I would highly recommend Vega Korea.
  2. Best BH rubber (xiom vega)

    I would recommend vega Korea. Great rubber with lots of control and super reliable for making heavy spin shots if you prioritise spin over speed. Either that or Vega X if you prefer speed over spin and have (or are prepared to work on gaining) the confidence and technique to use it. Both are...
  3. Zhang Jike signs with Donic

    A reasonable example. But blades are a bigger investment and a more personal choice, so much harder sell. How many people the world over, buy D09C because of FZD though? I bet that is making BTY far more money than the blade series.
  4. Zhang Jike signs with Donic

    I think this figure was described as his current contract which I interpreted as the butterfly deal. And I didn't see it mentioned that was per year. So 500k per year I very much doubt. 500k over a contract length of several years, maybe.
  5. Zhang Jike signs with Donic

    Personal problems aside. ZJK is still a huge name in the sport and deserves the respect his TT skills earn him at least. He might not be playing anymore but if he's coaching a lot, especially if the coaching is available online he's still a big influence in the market. If ZJK says "Watch me do...
  6. Looking for best backhand 47.5 / 48 rubber for SALC

    For sure O7P is a great BH option. Same sponge hardness as J&HV47.5 but a softer bouncier topsheet.
  7. Gewo Codexx Super Select Vs Rasanter R 50/47 - Alternatives?

    From what you said about having a more linear rubber with easier access to power I think experimenting with slightly softer sponge could help you. G1 is super versatile and is a great spin rubber.
  8. Looking for best backhand 47.5 / 48 rubber for SALC

    I used Xiom vega Korea on backhand which I upgraded to Xiom Jekyll & Hyde V47.5 because I felt Korea was too soft. The J&H V47.5 is probably a bit harder feeling than G1. I don't find it too heavy in Max thickness but it's also available in 2.1mm
  9. Gewo Codexx Super Select Vs Rasanter R 50/47 - Alternatives?

    It sounds like you're still getting used to the Gewo rubbers. If you're winning more games with the Gewo rubbers it's probably best to stick with those rather than change again. I think the choice you need to make is between: Keep Gewo rubbers and practice applying more power to shots. Or. Go...
  10. A light Chinese rubber with a little catapult and decent spin

    I can't comment on the AK. But agree with you on moon 12's catapult effect or lack thereof. I would say its a very safe rubber if you see that as positive. It's quite slow if you see that as a negative. If you can hit hard consistently and you're good at using your opponent's pace and spin...
  11. A light Chinese rubber with a little catapult and decent spin

    +1 vote for moon 12 blue. It's linear, great short game control and outrageous spin on properly brushed strokes. You say you'd prefer something more advanced but I think moon 12 gets overlooked for being a cheaper option. It's super worthy of a trial and not a wallet buster if it doesn't work...
