The ripples are most likely from the glue and booster.

Baracuda is quite old but I think there's a good reason it's stuck around, and they even have it in blue from some stores.

Its been a while since I used Vega Pro so I don't think I can compare, my most recent ones have been Vega X and Vega Japan. Vega X is in the same ballpark as R7, a bit springier, better spin potential with R7 for me, but I think R7 is more forgiving. VJ is softer, spins easier than R7, but I...

G1 is more powerful, but I got the feeling that it is a bit easier to spin with R7.

Ralza 7 is certainly one of the table tennis rubbers of all time.

It might be the QC but I tried both AK47 Yellow and Red and I thought the Red was a considerably better rubber than Yellow. My sheet of Yellow felt mushy and vague with inconsistent grip, but the Red had a very stable and direct feeling (if a bit muffled vs some other higher end rubbers) and a...

The blade I tried it on was more flexible than the one I use, but the rubber felt like it had a pretty high throw.

Most modern hybrids sound like they fit the bill. Only one I've tried has been Nittaku Sieger PK50 but it plays pretty well and has me wanting to try others, mainly Golden Tango and Gewo Codexx.

I've found the same thing in practice, but in a match setting I feel like I more often get less opportunity to use the extra quality afforded by a harder rubber on my bh. I generally prefer to open with the backhand as people are more comfortable pushing to that side and for that I experience...

Clean it really aggressively, then beat it up with several sessions. If it stays tacky then it stays tacky, and if it's not bouncy enough for you then you should boost it, but I'd wait until you have worn it in a little bit

"Don't screw up" seems reductive and negative and it seems to be a mindset that is strongly psyching you out from making productive decisions in your games. Maybe try taking in your situation at face value and just focus on trying to play your own game as well as you can

Look at 1.5 to 1.8 sponge Victas Spectol S1, RITC 802 for a control style Yinhe Pluto, Nittaku Express for a bit of funk/deadball action Moristo SP, Victas VO>102 for rubbers that play more like smooth than the previously listed

I havent found issues with the handle hitting my arm, rather the striking surface (especially for rpb) is reduced Because Chinese blades are usually noticeably larger than shakehand blades.

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
