Pimplepark Epos is very light weight, and check out 729 Focus III Snipe 44deg as well. These two usually weigh about 42-44 grams cut.

If you hit harder and close the bat angle enough, you engage the stiff top sheet together with this harder sponge making you get a more direct effect. I mean that the ball leaves the rubber faster when you have a harder sponge. With a softer sponge you don't get that immediate effect.

When looping, softer sponged H3 gives a higher arc. Harder sponge benefits on harder strokes, and it's a more physical demanding rubber to use in the right way.

Nice. But you're shopping in the wrong store ;)

Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg is an easy to play rubber. Not that stiff as H3 and more of an allround half-hybrid thing. The 39deg might work on your forehand, or the Loki GTX Pro.

Yep. Chinese harder rubbers could help, if you got the technique. I would say that you have to keep the low spinny loops very low over the net, so he can't punch it so easy. Or just go for more aggressive, harder loops with better placement, so he get a bit uncomfortable and out of position.

For beginners we use to recommend Sanwei Accumulator S blade and Sanwei T88-III Training 2-pcs rubbers. A cheap good first bat that you could develop with...

Pimplepark Epos, but it might be too soft...?

Yinhe Big Dipper 39deg could be something for you...

Yes ok. I understand. Thank you :)

Well, It probably is the exact same rubber but with a different marking, but I'm getting pissed if I get rubbers with no ITTF logo, and the package says the other way. I'm checking with 729 now, and I'll come back with some sort of explanation I hope :)

Oh. But I think the package had the ITTF logo. Do you remember? I have to check this out so they don't send out rubbers without the logo on... :(

The ones without the ITTF logo might be quite old. For the last 2 years I've only got the ones with the ITTF logo sent to me. But I guess that the rubber is the same anyway, but it might be a little older then.

I'm curious about the Rxton 9, as you say that you would choose this one over your H3 Neo BS. What hardness in H3 do you play with, and could you compare it with the Rxton 9?

Yes it might be about the gluing. But it's not that common for me. I had a 729 - Dragon F rubber with strange bubbles in the middle of the rubber. It felt almost normal playing with, but I took it off and the bubbles went away, and when gluing it again it's like new. So I did something wrong...

Perhaps Joola Tronix ACC or Joola Dynaryz ACC could fit? These are approx in the same hardness and I found Joola rubbers quite nice.

Yep. The 38deg Big Dipper is nice for me. I always come back to this one. Superb control and spin and very boostable.

Almost what I feel but B2 gives better spin on low strength as well. B3 isn't that different from B2 on short pushes. Correct. B2 is a traditional Chinese rubber, rewarding hard brushes and so. From B3 I didn't quite get that kick, but it almost feels the same when brushing. Just the effect...

B2 has more kick in the spin and B3 is a bit easier to play with and sort of bouncier, in short...

No not really. H8-80 has more bounce and is really tacky.
