Nexy Spear and Xiom Aria are both ~6.5mm limba top 5 ply wood.

If Big Dipper is the granddaddy, then products like 729 and globe 999 topsheet with Japanese sponge must be the common ancestor

D2 has bigger pips with a clearer and more direct feeling, less complicated to use because of the lower grip but a bit higher speed, but the trajectory makes for a better chopblock and hit game. D1 pips are thinner, it's a grippier rubber and offers more spin generation for a higher quality chop.

DHS C8, Palio CK531A, Bomb Talent

Tenergy and even Rozena are noticeably faster than Sriver. I think Glayzer 09C is more up your alley if you like chopping and spinning, it is slower and steadier with a focus on spin

It used to be more expensive than it is now, if memory serves correct it peaked at like $80, before Dignics was released.

I think it was 50usd on release, but by 2010 I believe it was around $60-65.

Bumps like this tend to fix themselves over time. Recently I crammed a lot of bats into my bag and one of my newer rubbers (Nexxus SS53) got a ridge imprinted in the topsheet from pressure from another bat, a week later it is no longer visible. I have had oil impregnation in topsheets from...

This looks localized to the topsheet only. It happens when you get oil or some other substance on the topsheet. I don't believe it has anything to do with how the rubber was glued

I still place the occasional order from Cole, my first order from him was circa 2010-2011 I think and his website has not changed to much from back then haha. He mostly stocks Air brand products which he has a big hand in testing/development and distribution I believe. He has also been stocking...

Mine and clubmates shots when using Rozena were blocked back with a higher success rate than when we were using rubbers with better spin. Never said it doesn't spin, I said it lacked that extra edge; I think the spin is good enough to do everything you need to do but IMO spinning the ball is not...

I like Rozena, spring sponge feeling with surprisingly good speed and solid arc and grippiness, but it just lacks that edge in spin to make it a more complete package.

Used to be way more common even just 10 years ago. A lot of Globe, RITC, Palio stuff back then. Avalox sponges were also pretty popular but it was mostly Chinese stuff from Chinese sources. A lot of it was pimples topsheets and thinner sponges but outlets like ColesTT would stock inverted...

If you just started having to deal with real spin, its understandable that you will have difficulties in dealing with and understanding it. Don't give up, it takes a while to hone your senses

Honestly if you are struggling with Mark V I think the best answer is to figure out why you are struggling and how to move forwards from there, instead of switching rubber. I don't think new rubbers will help given the situation you are describing

Mark V is not a very spin-sensitive rubber series, I can see you having more difficulties handling spin if you switch to a more sensitive rubber.

P4 is softer, grippier than P1. But by extension also more spin-sensitive.

Curl P4 and Feint 3 remain the most popular high friction lp nowadays. I don't think you'll be able to get as much sidespin as with sp, and sidespin isn't that threatening on chops anyways when concerning the shot quality especially nowadays with the plastic ball, but it can offer a bit of...

I have also tried RZEH on PC and I agree that it is a great combination. Compared to Golden Tango on PC, I feel like with RZEH I can grab and pull on the ball easier, and create a higher and safer arc even during lower energy impacts when it is relatively more difficult for me to grab onto and...

I'm still waiting for Dignics 25 :(
