You weigh them before you buy them

- Less glue - Leave small gap over the handle, when placing rubber - No edge band - Same blade but select lighter - same rubbers but select lighter

It's very different rubber. With hurricane it gets faster if you hit harder. Marder will bottom out if you hit hard and will behave unpredictable. If you're a beginner stay with rubbers with lots of reviews. If you want to save money, buy on aliexpress. IMO something like yinhe mercury fulfilles...

No Spinlord Marder is a rubber that can work, but is to slow even for most beginners. This is a rubber for a defensive style. Donic Acuda is a tensor rubber. If you want to save money look a the Vega series by Xiom.

I really enjoy the double fish dragon zlc blade. Very fast good feel because its thin.

You buy them from a trusted source, so they sre not fake. Else if its way to cheap, then its fake

I'd try different rubbers first... sanwei 75 already pretty fast. Stiga mantra pro are very good rubbers, I think they are better in all aspects than Gear Hyper. Maybe H hardness both sides

Also if you only play doubles it's hard to improve at a technical level. Find someone you can do drills with, then you will improve your bh

I recently bought a Double Fish MK2 from AliExpress. It's a Koto 7ply and ridiculously cheap for the quality. Paired with Volant Phoenix 1 and 2 rubbers you got a decent setup for about 30€. If you buy while black week maybe less

Tbh its hard to recommend something because I don't know how you play. Those seem like reasonable choices for rubbers, but they are totally different setups

Personally I never liked sticky Chinese rubbers on defensive blades, because they require alot of power on those slower blades. I think the not so bouncy tensors are a good place to start: Rakza 7, Fastarc g1, Loki Telson 100 if you want something chinese. Pips just pick something that's easy...

If your a beginner I see to reasonable paths. 1) Stick with the blades you own (VKM and defplay) and become a chopper; like andy said, it's very rough in the beginning because the style is not really effective at low levels. But if that's whats fun for you go for it. But don't get a carbon...

I don't want assume to much, but maybe it's just rubber that feel old? One year is nothing for a blade

I don't know, sorry.

Liquid goods take forever when I order them. Often Booster or Glue takes a long time. I'm based im Germany

Mantra pro is a Daiki Rubber not ESN. The other Rubbers you listed are just very similar. You can adjust between them easily and they play more or less the same. G1 and Rakza 7 stand out because of durability.

Donic defplay senso v3 Feint Long 2 is easy to play Feint Long 3 is very slow, better against strong loops. If this is just for training, stick with 388d-1 or yinhe neptune or 955. It's not really worth to spend more money.
