Soft new rubber

Nilsragnar · Nov 10, 2015

Hello!

I've been playing with xiom vega elite for some time now and it's time to change. Therefore, I was thinking of trying something new. I was hoping for some advice from people who know the equipment.

Whar I am looking for is a soft rubber but not quite as soft as vega elite. Something with a bit more speed to it! I want to really feel comfortable when lifting a ball with backspin, or initiating the first attack. So spin is more important than speed. I also really like the sound the tensor rubbers make.

Do you have any suggestions? I've been looking around for reviews but I couldn't find anything that sounded really good.

I really appreciate some help in this matter.

Cheers.

This list is good. I would put Tibhar Evolution FX-P right at the top and I would also add Xiom Omega V Europe. Omega V and FX-P are both really good and very spinny.

Thanks for the help! Think I'll go for the Omega IV europe on the backhand, and maybe something a bit harder like vega pro on forehand. I like the Xiom rubbers, the price is always great!

Not Omega IV. Omega V is much better in several ways than IV.

Vega japan for the FH is good and I would recommend Omega V over IV as it is newer which is why its better especially with the new balls. I love the xiom rubbers as well.

i`m playing omega v euro and rasant beat ... omega v euro is better then rasant beat in overall but opening ups and taking up slow short underspin is harder then with rasant beat ...but i heard that omega v pro is much better in this aspect.
but in the aspect you are searching is the rasant grip the absolute winner .. .... it can pick any ball from backspin and has the best sound of all.

I use Stiga's Airoc soft, I really like it. Also, Bluefire JP 03 from Donic is also pretty good

I confirm Mike's opinion about Donic JP03. Really good BH rubber in all categories.

I think mx-p is better than jp-01 Turbo, so in that sense I'd say FX-P, but I've tried and think jp-03 is the greatest soft rubber ammong the once I've tried.
Though all the rubbers mentioned would probably do the job, as long as you have the technuiqe.

Lots of great suggestions! This time around I'll probably go for Xiom, mainly because of the price. I'm sure I'll try another one of your suggestions next time, I'm really curious about airoc for example!
