Recently I have come across this series of blades and I am really interested in trying out the Xiom Ice Cream AZXi sometimes. I saw the AZXi is currently unavailable and would like to know if it is only temporary or is discontinued. I also saw the same blade with a "Pro" in its name. I am...

Since you are a fan of the Butterfly products, I can recommend the Tenergy 19 for your backhand. It is 2-3 degrees harder than the Tenergy 05 FX. It has sufficient speed, spin and control. It is not as bouncy as Tenergy 05 and hard slightly more spin. The Dignics 05, being a 40-degree hard...

I would like to develop all my skills, but especially the backhand topspin. Of course, the overall and main goal is to get better in all areas. Sticking to one particular setup will be a key element in it. :D

The Dignics 80 would definitely have more spin. Not sure about the speed though, both are quick rubbers. The Dignics 80 would be more durable due to the lack of factory boosting, which prolongs its lifespan.

The Innerforce Layer ZLC is a good choice. It has plenty of speed and good control. You can impart some serious rotation onto the ball with it (with appropriate rubbers of course).

My bet would be the Innerforce Layer ZLC.

Alright, that is good to hear! Thanks for answering!

Thank you for all of your inputs! If you have any more, they are welcome! Anybody has an idea about how the Baracuda plays in humidity? This is something I could not test. My experience is that the Rakza Z is quite okay in humidity. Is so the Baracuda?

Thanks! What do you think of forehand?

I do not think it would a disadvantage to be a left-handed if you chop. Actually true, I have not seen left-handed choppers myself neither. Maybe the fact the best choppers are right-handed is coincidence or no idea.

Thanks!

I see. Yes, I have definitely felt that the Baracuda doesn't like the incoming spin, but after a while I could get used to it. I have a spare blade, I might want to put a Baracuda on it to compare the two simultaneously. Both fits my style pretty much and only the feeling is a little different...

These two rubbers are the ones I like the most. However I am a little confused about which one should I pick. People who have used both! Which do you think would be better in the long term regarding spin? I'm pretty much sure Baracuda would be faster, thus Rakza Z would be more controlled. But...

Sounds good, but you will have to practice a lot with the backhand rubber, the chopping is not the easiest stroke.

I have heard good reviews about the Long V clone.

Once I tried the Donic Baracuda, which I have found quite comfortable to use. But after a while I returned to the Tenergy 19, the one I had been using when I decided to switch the Baracuda. I have ultimately left Tenergy for being too pricey, too bouncy and not really durable.

Thanks for your input! Do you do this yourself too?

Thanks for your input!

Is it okay to remove the dust from a hybird rubber with the help of the breath and palm during a game? Will it help retain the grip and/or tack or will it deteriorate it someway? Thanks!
