Paramid is one of the faster blades I've tried. Not like Yinhe T11+, but a little bit faster than my Yinhe V14 PRO, Sanwei V5 PRO and DHS Power G9, but it got a quite soft touch and a really hollow sound :)
My Rxton 5 copy is also almost non-tacky. This one is a hard rubber and it's very good when brushing the ball, and Mercury 2 is a softer and bouncier rubber like you say. As the sponge and rubber is quite hard, it's easier to achieve more spin when using the wrist good, like services and when...
Yes I asked them if gluing was prohibited as well. never got a good answer on that one :)
Products like Falco Life Expander are also forbidden, as they interact with the top sheet. How could you enforce rules these non-measurable actions? It's just stupid to try...
Yeah. And as a ITTF representative wrote to me. All after treatments are forbidden.
ITTF certifies the top sheet, not the sponge. And you can use any sponge you want together with a certified top sheet, but you are not allowed to boost the sponge, as the booster will diffuse into the rubber...
Check out LOKI - Arthur Europe Diamond, Sanwei - Gear Hyper or 729 - Presto Max Spin/Speed. These are Chinese non-tacky rubbers with some tensor like catapult.
The Sanwei Paramid is a quite fast blade. I feel that it's faster than my regular Yinhe V14 PRO, so it was a bit too fast for me when I used it with my regular rubbers like Battle Max Pro/H3 41deg and Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg.
What rubbers you need I guess depends much of what you're used to play...
I'm not a XIOM reseller, so I have to buy these to quite high price as well. I just thought TAU II is a really good rubber similar to H3, but with a bounce, so I wanted to be able to offer this super rubber to my customers :)
Battle 3 will come with a new pre-treated sponge, and 729 has it in production as of now, so hopefully it will be available in April, May somewhere. And the earlier released version has a non pre-treated sponge. But I haven't played it yet :)
Well. I'm quite similar, and I feel that it's a lack of confidence in your technique. Or perhaps lack in technique. You have to be more active and force your opponent into your game play. Only then you can get the advantage of your higher skill.
Xiom TAU II is H3-like, but bouncier. That one could fit you fine.
LOKI Arthur China is another one that feels like a boosted H3
Yinhe Big Dipper is similar to H3, but got a softer feeling, and a little bounce. Only half tacky, but works great for brushing the ball still.
