There are tons of rubbers out there. You don't have to like it if it's just not working out

Ever tried playing single sided jpen?

G1 has a slightly stiffer topsheet, rubbers like Hype KR and Vega X which are rated at the same sponge hardness but have softer feeling topsheets play more forgiving in this aspect so you might like those- they just didn't last terribly long for me, I noticed that the grip and arc became more...

I personally found G1 much easier to control than C1, the softer sponge on C1 made it a bit more unpredictable for me. Have you tried the G1 on your backhand?

I thought S1 was kind of a dud. I think C1 is much better than S1 and might be more in line with what you're looking for, it is much grippier and feels harder and crisper. Its still on the softer side but it's not mushy soft IMO

I think between the two JP02 may be more similar to M2 Than Baracuda, but I havent used JP series so I can't comment on that. If you play from mid distance but think M2 is too fast, the slower Baracuda may feel better to you, but one of the things that is good about M2 is that it is not so spin...

My main weapon is G1 fh and Baracuda bh on a Stratus Powerwood, nothing too crazy, but it's no slouch. I know it has a lot more potential than what I can produce myself, but I think all things considered, it's pretty manageable for the level of performance it can produce. My one gripe is that...

Some guys I play with just wrap a rubber band around near the base of the handle, for security. I used to do the same thing but with a bit of the thin tennis overgrip, I would avoid the tape and use super glue to make a single layered wrap around where my pinky would rest, this would avoid the...

Buy from TT11, MXP has always been a part of the 4 for 3 deal they have going on

Limba/inner and Koto/outer, typical Innerforce ALC and Viscaria structures. They look nice, but the price is in the same relative weight class as some Butterfly ALC as well as some of the newer made in Korea blades like the Synteliac series.

At least for myself though, I find that it is easier to open the point and use less effort in countertopspin and defensive strokes like blocking with a softer rubber, whereas I feel like harder rubbers allow me to push more controllably and are easier for me to serve with, as well as feeling...

For someone who is just trying to drive to the grocery store, it doesn't matter so much wether you get a Toyota or a Honda.

I think Ma Lin was using Bryce FX, Wang Hao was using Sriver and Wang LiQin was using Nittaku Hammond (similar vein to Bryce).

All these "high technology" buzzwords from different manufacturers but they still can't leave a bigger impression than Butterfly's 'Spring Sponge'

"Top" as in quality or numbers? In terms of volume I feel like Chinese brands such as RITC/729 and Double Happiness Shanghai easily outsell the Japanese and German brands. But in terms of quality and popularity, Tamasu Tokyo Butterfly is the strong winner, Elastomer-Neuheit (ESN) coming close...

The new Mizutani looks to be Limba surface whereas the Falcima has a Koto outer

Once upon a time, there was a rubber called Outlaw...

I think the older versions have a slightly different shaped handle, from memory old version ST was slightly thinner than my new version. I cant say for sure because I no longer have my old versions anymore. But its definitely seems cheaper to get the existing old versions
