Hi folks, I feel that most hybrid rubbers recommended are either Chinese type with a pinch of Euro/Jap salt, or Euro/Jap type salt with a pinch of Chinese. What are those hybrids that truly feel like they combine the best attributes of both? The ones that feel 50/50 so to speak.

That sounds like a dream to me. Which are these rubbers? The only hybrid rubbers that are consistently reported as high throwing are Rakza Z and D09c. Which other hybrids have a high throw? I mean, high, not medium high.

Well, this is a rather "soft" hybrid. It feels more tensorish than for example the G1 IMO, but less than a proper tensor. I think the harder hybrids are closer to the description you mention. I think nuzn is much faster than the previous hybrids from what I can recollect in the forum. I find the...

You watched this film with my wife and sisters over the holiday season. It's fair to say there's 10% of table tennis going on in the movie. Entertaining for sure but wouldn't call it a table tennis movie

Just an update on this. I ended up sticking a Nuzn 48 on FH instead. I wouldn't call it high throwing either but still easier to play than O8P. I'll keep this setup for some time. I'm consistently winning games against much better players. Something I realised is these newer rubbers are much...

this reminds me of when I started training in my club with the veterans and I was a newbie. Yasaka Sweden Extra, Rakza 7 1.8 on both sides. My Chinese training partner came to me, checked my rubber, he could swear I was using pips. I may go back to Rakza 7 on my BH just out of nostalgia. Those...

I remember when I moved from the Rakza 7 to the G1, it felt extremely hard in comparison, when in theory they have a similar hardness. It does soften up with time, and then the rubber becomes alive; it's hard to explain. Egon, interesting you mention the G1 needs a soft surface wood and an...

How does the G-1 react to different blade compositions? let's say all wood vs inner carbon vs outer carbon. I have read it feels quite different with carbon.

wow, that's quite a journey. I've heard good things about the Aurus. Was it the standard Aurus or the Aurus Prime?

but you can also have high speed high spin rubber too right? Like T05 everyone says it shoots cannon balls and the throw is very high. I have never tried one myself tho, but seems to contradict that rule. I just played with my old rakza 7 on both sides on a YSE before I gifted it to my sister...

I played Rakza 7 for a while when I was learning, considered upgrading to rakza X but must people reports it has a much lower throw than rakza 7, which seems to contradict rakza's own material. Eventually I upgraded to G1, which feels a lot harder than R7 but it softens up after a while but has...

Can anyone comment of the throw angle of the nuzn 48?

I never glued my own rubbers until recently. My previous two setups were assembled by the provider (which is well known in the community). I decided to glue my new Christmas gift setup myself. The first thing my coach asked me, "did you glue yourself", and I asked him, "is it that obvious" and...

Now that you mention it, the MK Hybrid is the only hybrid I've read that is comparable with that golden old generation, like the G1, in the sense that it's spin-oriented with low catapult effect, with a relatively high arc. I've heard the NUZN 48 is very similar, and should last longer. Perhaps...

Interesting, I won't glue the G1 back just yet, I want to play as is in a couple of league matches first. Maybe I'll grow into liking the lower throw as you said. But I do 100% feel way more consistent with a higher arc. Granted, less dangerous too, but I value the former more now, as my...

G-1 in Max and C-1 in 2.0. If I go back it would be just the G-1 on FH. I have no issues with the Omega 8 Euro on BH at all. It's the omega 8 pro on FH that the throw angle is putting me off

Gozo, how's your preference developed since then? You were playing G1 back then, which is one of the highest throwing angle ESN rubbers out there. I see you still prefer high arcs since now you are playing with D05 and Z03, which are high-throw rubbers. What other rubbers did you play beetween...

Thanks KK, that's exactly my plan. I have no plans to go hybrid any time soon, and pretty sure I won't change my blade in a long time either. Regarding the low throw, I'm not convinced yet. In my short experience with this setup, a clubmate who plays in a higher division had a lot of issues...

I reckon the only advantage would be slow, spinny loops. It's hard to engage the G1 sponge with slow loops.
