Why not try something like a more soft, linear and less grippy rubber for your backhand than Rakza 7? As you say you are at beginner level, I suppose you've played for 1-3 years or so? It takes time to develop a good backhand :) Take a look at some light weight rubbers like 729 Focus III Snipe...

Palio CAT is a light weight soft carbon blade in the OFF- area. With this one and perhaps 2 x 729 Focus III Snipe 44deg/Pimplepark EPOS/Palio AK47 Red/Yellow/Blue you'll end up below 160g and a cost around 40-50£.

Yeah. I really like the control it gives in the 38deg. I tried the 39deg as well on BH but it was too hard and fast for me. And as you said, when you hit it right you can get a lot of spin in your shots. I used it on FH as well some years ago, and it works just like H3 but with a softer touch...

I use the H3 41deg with Haifu Seamoon Booster. I usually glue a thin layer (TTRevolution No.3 Glue - Normal Viscosity) on the sponge and then add as many layers I need for it to curl as I like it. Often 3-4. I found out that it could be a bit uneven when not adding the glue first. This is only...

Well. I haven't tried the ESN rubbers enough to verify if they benefit in any other way than that they expand a bit, but of course they change in some way and I guess it's very individual if it works better or worse for you as a player. But if you feel that the G1 is a bit too numb or hard, a...

You could always boost it a bit to regain the size.

Very good shop and very nice people running it :)

Why don't you try the Rakza 7 in MAX, or perhaps Rakza X as it is a bit faster and harder? If you like your setup, don't change too much. Just add a little speed. :)

The first one is the Silver version. Replacement of the regular Battle II. The second is the Battle II Pro. Variants of the Battle series that are produced now is. Battle MAX PRO (38, 39, 40, 41deg)Battle II Silver (38, 39deg)Battle II Gold (40deg)Battle II Pro (38, 39, 40deg)Battle II...

It's all about what you need. Boosted, hard, Chinese rubber-like rubbers you can't buy. You have to manufacture it yourself :)

Check out Yinhe Big Dipper 39deg or XIOM TAU II. There's a lot of spin and grip in these, and hybrid like :)

LOKI T3 is a superb blocking and flat hitting rubber. Fast and quite grippy.

There is a Geospin version as well. I don't think that it's as sticky as the Geospin Tacky. They are named Master GT and Master GS nowadays. If you really want to remove some stickyness from the rubber. Play with new balls and don't clean it so often. It might look a bit dusty after a while even...

If you keep it clean it could last a year, of course depending on how much you play. I don't know exactly about the 729 Super FX, but if you don't brush with a very closed angle, you wont be too much affected if the tackiness wears off a bit. Even if the tackiness wears off, there will be good...

There are different kinds of cleaning liquids, so the Falco Life Expander is a more reviving liquid that perhaps sinks into the top sheet, but everyday cleaners don't. I don't really know and I think it's plain stupid to create rules that you can't enforce. Now I know that many top players in...

The advantage is that you get a little softer touch and a little more bounce out from the hard sponged Chinese rubbers with their harder, tacky top sheet. Most of us don't want that "super bounce" that most of the tensor rubbers today have, because you lose the control that you have with Chinese...

Is it the "New" Target National? There's quite a difference between the old and the new. The new one gives you much better effect in the looping game, and is really fast compared to H3 and so. I didn't feel that the throw was so extremely low, but perhaps a bit lower than H3 41deg.

Yes I tend to boost it nowadays with Haifu Seamoon booster. It has a good effect and feels really good playing with.

Check out Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg. It's a nice H3-like rubber, but with a little bit of "hybrid-feel". Pimplepark - Epos is a softer, tacky German rubber, with a mild catapult. Available up to 1.9mm. The Big Dipper gives a better "Chinese" kick, and Epos a more European feeling.

From a premade cheap bat, almost everything is better. In my opinion, don't change too much. Go for something like a Sanwei - Accumulator S (Allround+ 5-ply wooden blade) with rubbers like 729 - Focus III Snipe 44deg, Palio - AK47 Yellow or Pimplepark - Epos 1.9mm. Then she'll have a blade that...
