I love my MX-P on backhand but passive things like blocks and pushes are sometimes challenging. Decided to try something more tame.

1) Blue and orange are vastly different. Blue sponge is faster, harder and has lower/longer trajectory. Orange is slower, softer and has higher/shorter arc. Orange is better for pure spin (and it's easy to get), has no flat hitting or block. Blue is more about combination of speed and spin (spin...

Yes, it's surely worth it. As someone who tried literally every "Hurricane 3 replacement" chinese rubber, I can surely say H3N is irreplaceable by other tacky rubbers. And reduced tackiness isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it's easier to execute fast shots.

Good efforts, mister! I would recommend getting rid of the "crab" posture. You don't need to "sit" by bending this low during shots--you could rather transfer this power into shots.

Yep, it's surprisingly lightweight, mine was about 45g on a large-head DHS blade.

Maybe because these 98.6% have actually read the initial post and advised something the author wants? :) "Only things I know I want are: decent durability, easy to use and maintain (no tacky)" - doesn't sound like he wants "Chinese tacky", "Spring sponge", or "ESN hybrid/tack-ish", does it ? :D

1) Nittaku Fastarc G-1. 2) Donic Baracda. 3) Andro Rasanter R42. 4) Tibhar Evolution EL-D. 5) Xiom Vega Pro. 6) DHS Gold Arc 8 (47.5).

- Mattias Falck - for showing that a 6.2 tall player can maintain attacking successfully. - Ricardo Walther - for showing that a chubby player can maintain attacking successfully. - Anton Kallberg - for showing that you must always attack. *6.2/100kg all-out attacking player here :)

PG7 is undoubtedly by far the best option in its budget and it perfectly meets the price goals of the author. Regarding the rubbers, I think Rxton 3 (for the easier play) and Jupiter/BigDipper (for the harder play) could be great pairings.

So you rather wanna post a 5 year old match instead of the recent 0-3 defeat? It's a very old match.

Jorgic is known to be losing against defensive-style players. His 0-3 loss against Wang Yang was a humiliation, and I think it's due to his backhand-oriented style, while all the prime forehand-oriented players destroy defenders with little effort. On the other hand, Luka has improved his...

It very much depends on a booster that you use. For example, something like Kailin has a huge impact on the bounciness of the rubber, while Falco Tempo Long is much more gentle. Haifu SeaMoon is somewhere in between these two.

My guess is that BTY wants to promote newer rubbers. No doubt, G09C has decent spin as I have played it both on forehand and backhand for 3 months. But I completely disagree with their measurement, T05 spin is monstrous, one of the strongest outside of the chinese rubbers.

I think you misunderstood 1 example of 3=4 with "all discounted prices", which is a bit disingenuous. Rasanter R series is still 45 euros undiscounted, which is rather competitive. Rakza 7 is exactly 40 euros at tt11 btw. Saying that G09C has a "class higher" spin generation than T05 has been...

Rakza series is 40, Acuda/Baracuda is 37-40, Rasanter R is 45 (and u get 4 rubbers for the price of 3), Vega is 35, and Evolution/MK series are around 40. I am sure these are all better rubbers than Glayzer/Glayzer09c.

I would say Glayzer 09C is worth considering if only it lasted longer. The rubber's performance dips after the tackiness is gone, and it happens in several months, if not faster. For real, most of the ESN rubbers are just better at a lower price.

The short answer is: YES. I think it's only worth trying them if you want to have fun instead of improving the game. The only cheap Chinese rubber I miss is Saturn Pro from Yinhe (medium, soft, or super-soft), its peak user-friendliness was really something.

As someone who relies on heavy spin, I always believed it's better to reach for the maximum spin potential of H3. Plus it elevated my atrocious short game and spurred playing very aggressively as there is no block to fall back to. I still believe that when you're at your 100% best, H3 makes you...

Ma Long, Truls, and Felix are the obvious choices. I would also add Dang Qui, Patrick Franziska, and Kristian Karlsson. I think their short game is a bit underrated.

Tibhar Evolution MX-P - backhand Tibhar MK Hybrid - forehand Decided to switch from Chinese rubbers to faster EU rubbers without any hope and... The results went up dramatically, like 2 levels above I had before. I just began destroying my peers and people I used to lose against. Why haven't I...
