Also Chinese tacky rubbers have an unpleasant bounce against pips users.

It is an advantage, helps to develop stroke strength, and acceleration. Unless you do it properly are not going to generate speed and spin.

Chinese hard tacky rubbers need much much much much more input than hybrids or euro/jap.

Carbon provides less feedback and makes the blade faster. Ebony top ply makes feel crisper but adds low effort speed and makes the blade harder to control. The ball shoots off very easily with low user input which makes it hard for unskilled players to use. I would recommend a 5ply all wood...

WOuld you mind explaining what this raiting means.

This one is opposite. It has both ebony and carbon which makes it harder to use by unskilled people.

I used to regularly play against a lady who played 2* SPs, it's a good setup until one faces opponents who have a good variation. For me good strategy playing against that kind of player is to push long and fast if the opponent does not net, then top spin deep and low. Most of SP I played had...

M8 + 2* Chinese rubber is like 15-20$, if you find a premade which is easily repairable and you can perform a topspin attack with it, then I will be amazed.

That gear will be loaner bat. Premade rackets are much worse and are not refurbishable. When the rubber is done on a premade then it gone. If you buy a cheap chinese set it will have better parameters, will be much more predictable, and when rubbers are damaged (for example someone hits a table...

Does not really matter. They are all quite similar. Just don't pick anything too hard. I felt like Palio hidden dragon is an excellent rubber for newcomers. It is easy to use, makes a very good spin. It is like 6-10$ a piece. Super FX felt much worse than Hidden Dragon. Blue AK47 although...

The one you have in your equipment description looks quite good. If you want to go for best bang for the buck then M8 + 2* Chinese training rubber.

Need to summon MOG for this one. He has a lot of experience in this regard ;)

Is it only Rakza Z or Extra Hard too?

Just apply the knowledge to any other rubber. You don't have to pick Xiom rubbers if you don't want to.

For me it shows 40$ a sheet.

If you want a Dima Blade with big handle then there is always Donic Dima No.1 Senso. I own Dima No.1 Senso and non senso (one is signed by the Dima himself lolz) and Innerforce Layer ALC. Senso destroys others.

I think topsheet is more important to the feel than the sponge. This guy made a nice video. I agree with him on most of the statements.

Adding to the original post.

what I meant is that the normal Z (non EH) is softer than D09C. The extra H is much closer to D09C. EDIT 09C should be close to Vega China or Yasaka Extra Hard Z. There is this chart, created by haggisv https://tabletennis-reviews.com/reference/sponge-hardness-table/. Closest rubber from...

Non EH Z is much softer than D09C though. I wonder if you will like the EH version.
