Been reading around on rubbers for this blade, and eventually figured out it might be picky on rubbers.
I come from DHS Pg-13 (hurricane hao III wannabe), Evolution MX-P and Acuda blue P2.
Acuda Blue P2 is awesome for most things on this blade (all-round play, flicks, chops, snakes, anything), but, lacks the finishing power far from the table that I want on my fh side.
The reason I changed (to this blade) was a combination of my blade cracking, a bunch of awesome reviews and a tiny bit of impulse.
I'm mostly very content with it, the grip/handle is far more comfortable, it has more gears (touch shots go too short, hard shots far from table mostly go too long, in the beginning), which is a con in the short term, but pro in the long term as I see it, already pretty adjusted (had it for about 3 weeks but I dont train regularly due to bachelor). My bh with acuda blue p2 also seems more consistent and I can even bh chop comfortably, which I couldn't with the pg-13 as easily.
I also did play penhold before but changed this summer to shakehand.
To me right now the MX-P is pretty nice, but it fits a bit better on PG-13 imho. My problems are lack of feedback, and the throw angle is.. a bit low, and when I loop higher, well, it can rather quickly go too long.
I still want a harder and faster rubber than Acuda Blue P2, but I've been shooting both long and short with the MX-P treiber-z, more than with the old.
I saw mindtrip said on the former thread (I did try to contact him but seems he's gone inactive, which is why I made this thread)
and then, later on, went to say:
So, collecting all this information and making sense of it. T05 did not work well, although he somehow wanted to go softer than MX-P.
I know a lot of people are using Rasant rubbers, and rasanter r47 is definitely highest contender from there (I think R42 is too soft, and maybe R50 is too hard again idk although some are using that on ttdb).
But is not Rasanter R47 kinda similar to T05? Or could this one for some reason work better than T05 on the Treiber Z?
Specifically in terms of looping which seems like the issue for some reasons.
BUT! It's also mindboggling to me how he's somehow using T05 on ttdb. https://revspin.net/user/MindTrip.html
and not knowing which one is outdated, I can't make sense of this.. obviously overanalyzing.
Answering those questions and any other valuable experience with rubbers on this blade would also be appreciated

I had a three hour session with the Treiber Z using MXP and Omega Pro yesterday. Overall, I think this is the right direction versus using the softer sponged Bluestorm Z3. The feeling was excellent. I got the power I needed away from the table and was able to maintain a gentle touch on softer contact. I may go a tad softer yet with a different rubber on the FH to get a little catapult and dwell time. Some medium rubbers I have stashed away will do the trick.
and then, later on, went to say:
Just to update, I glued some T05 to the Treiber Z and didn’t like the results. True, compared to the Freitas anyway, my blocks were easier to keep short, pushes were nice, served really well and smashes had just enough power, BUT I couldn’t loop worth a flip. They’d go in the net or go long for the most part. The ones that did land didn’t seem to kick or carry as much spin as with Freitas ALC. That’s after a 30 minute evaluation before returning back to my MF alc for the remainder of the session. I’ll be going back to the mxp m3 combo next time.
