  1. Backhand Rubber Suggestion

    I have tried both and I definitely prefer a slower blade with faster rubber. This also gives a bigger spectrum from slow to fast. Cheers L-zr
  2. Backhand Rubber Suggestion

    Appelgren all play is the slowest of slow blades. In my club beginners are recommended that blade together with Mark V or a Donic equivalent. Cheers L-zr
  3. Backhand Rubber Suggestion

    Mark V lasts longer. It all depends. If you want something slow and spinny Mark V it’s a good choice. A good progression from beginner is: Mark V -> Mark V HPS -> Rakza 7. Or maybe the blade is too fast, so go with a slower blade… I have no problem using Mark V on a fast blade like my Tibhar...
  4. What makes certain rubbers so popular?

    I didn’t find Rakza X tacky at all, nada zip zero nothing. Rakza X is geared towards speed and at this it does a pretty good job… Cheers L-zr
  5. Backhand Rubber Suggestion

    Because a tacky rubber more often than not requires a harder shot. This is the point. You have something that is too fast for you. I suggest a Mark V. Harder, slower and a capacity for good spin. Cheers L-zr
  6. Backhand Rubber Suggestion

    Regarding no 3. I would not go with a tacky rubber. Maybe a Mark V. It’s slow it’s harder and linear, has good spin capabilities… Cheers L-zr
  7. Backhand Rubber Suggestion

    Yes, exactly like that. Cheers L-zt
  8. Cleaning tacky and hybrid rubbers

    Clean it and let it dry. Cheers L-zr
  9. Backhand Rubber Suggestion

    Rakza 7 soft is bouncy with low engagement point. So it can be fast on speedy blade. A harder rubber has a higher engagement point for the bounce… Cheers L-zr
  10. Cleaning tacky and hybrid rubbers

    OK, that’s easy enough, thanks guys. Cheers L-zr
  11. Cleaning tacky and hybrid rubbers

    So just water, no cleaning agents? Cheers L-zr
  12. Cleaning tacky and hybrid rubbers

    I got myself some BTY G09C sheets and I wonder how I shall clean them. I’m not used to tacky rubbers. I have always avoid them because of their tendency to pick up dust… Is it OK to use a TT cleaner liquid? Or is plain water better? I will be using protective sheets inside the case. That’s...
  13. How does paddle palace come up with their rubber speed/spin ratings?

    He says everybody else is saying this… My point is that is that it it can not have speed nor spin either, But what it means is the perceived characteristics… To not recognize this is… we’ll yeah judge for yourself…
  14. How does paddle palace come up with their rubber speed/spin ratings?

    You are the one saying that they have control. The rest of us says they are easy or difficult to control. The same thing goes for speed and spin…
  15. MX-S or Tenergy 05 which is better?

    They are not the same. T05 is spinnier and bouncier. Which on is better is up to personal preference. I can tell You some things with T05. You will loose allmost all Your marginal on pushes and short game. You really have to walk on a razors edge. The topspin strokes are much easier. As long as...
  16. Rakza 7 vs. Rakza 9?

    Yes it will work perfect on that one too. Cheers L-zr
  17. Rakza 7 vs. Rakza 9?

    You can use it on any blade. I prefer 5-ply all wood all to all+ blades and I know nothing about Your level so I don't want to recommend any. I used to use it on a BTY Innerforce ALC.S. A nice slow blade but with a popsickle handle.... If I was going to pick a Yasaka blade today it must be...
  18. Rakza 7 vs. Rakza 9?

    Rakza 9 is faster, it focuses on speed. Rakza 7 is a do it all rubber. More spin than Rakza 9 (I beleive) but slower. If You don't really know what You want Rakza 7 is most likely a good compromise. Cheers L-zr
  19. Assembling a first paddle

    That's a hunk of horseshit. Mark V is the best non tacky beginners rubber that exist. It has a sponge with extremely small pores. This makes the bounce low and long lasting. It has a grippy topsheet so You will be able to generate spin. Whoever says this about Mark V does not know what they are...
  20. Assembling a first paddle

    If this is Your first paddle, You are a beginner. Then You have the totally wrong equipment. You will probably get nowhere with this. Primorac carbon with Tenergy 05. This is the fastest of the fast and the worst of all possible equipment for a beginner. Get an 5-ply all wood blade (i.e all wood...
