So being accurate makes one a nerd? Sounds Trumpian...

Yes! But why not do it accurately! ;)

Which ever one feels best to you. If you prefer EL-P or Baracuda, stick with one and slap the same on the other side. If you want something grippier, R42 will be good. Then work on your technique.

"tensioned" or "tension"

Why not use the same rubber on both wings so you can develop both more consistently?

I would choose R42 over EL-S anytime, grippier. And any Tenergy FX over R42, lasts longer.

Would you say Mantra S's topsheet is more dynamic than Rozena's?

Same here. I used C-1 3 years ago and quite liked it although I didn't know any better then. I just ordered a sheet which should arrive this week to give it a well deserved comparison test. I have a good feeling I will like it but we'll see!

It's made in Japan and also quite different from ESN rubbers in sponge, topsheet and feel. PS: I'm not saying you can't do the same things with an Tensor than with Tenergy just that they are quite different.

I also think a bit harder is good for some players and softer for others. 40-43 deg range depending.

No effort... but a lot of technique meaning high level. This is not a rubber for a beginner or intermediate player which OP is. Rhyzer 43 maybe, but certainly not 48 for him.

Yes "tensioned" or "tension" is a simple, correct and common way. In France, they also referred to these types of rubbers as "stocking energy" to explain it simply.

What Der_Echte is pointing at here is that you want what everybody wants and gave us no information about yourself whatsoever, so how are members of the forum supposed to give you recommendations out of the millions of blade / rubbers combinations available out there... Also most of us here have...

An all-wood blade is definitely a good idea. I'd go for an ALL+ to OFF- blade since you seem new to the game. The Fextra is often recommended. How long have you been playing?

Too fast...

That's the yoass effect! ;)

Just going to reiterate what everyone said, the Stiga Allround Classic, Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft and Xiom Vega Euro are all good choices. I'm also going to recommend you use the same rubber on both sides since you're a developing player. Enjoy!

Looks like a great robot at a good price from a trusted company. I'm interested in backing it.

Your comment made me laugh so hard! That being said, tt is a great and extremely underrated rubber indeed.

Sounds good and it's nice you have that option to go test all these blades at the Butterfly store. Germany has so many TT stores adding to the rich TT culture there! You should be able to find the Stiga Clipper at a discount at many TT stores either physical or online such as tabletennis11.com...
