Xiom Vega japan + DHS Skyline 3-60 + Tibhar V2

Emin Yilmaz · Nov 25, 2018

I usually like using spin and fast shots on forehand and block + cut with the backhand.

do you think this racket is fine?

Xiom Vega japan(forehand) + DHS Skyline 3-60(backhand) + Tibhar V2

also: will this racket will work fine for 1-2 years?

my current racket: Friendship bomb blade + Yinhe Mercury II + Friendship 729 fx (this really doesn't satisfy me, 729 fx's blocks and cuttings are fine somehow even if its too slow but mercury 2 is no longer makes me feel decent)

In my experience 3-60 is better for controlled loops and flicks rather than blocking. I'd recommend looking at rubbers with harder sponges. Vega Japan seems like a fine choice, though I'd prefer Vega Pro for spin shots.

If you are asking of the rubbers will last 2 years, no. Even if you use the rubber 1x a week it will not last 2 years.

what about DHS hurricane 3 neo or DHS Hurricane 8 for bh?

also Aurus Select or Aurus Prime is getting my ineterest on them for forehand actually

--I will not be able to buy a new one for 16 months

also: I usually get closer to table when cutting and blocking / i get far from table when fh spinning

The skyline 3-60 is just about one of the only rubbers that will last that long. Someone said it was soft but it isn't really, the topsheet is rock hard and the rubber is heavy, like 50+ grams cut. It's an excellent rubber for pretty much most things, backhand or forehand. Just make sure to have a rubber protector sheet and clean it properly after every use and you'll get a very long lasting rubber.
It will for sure last you a year if you take care of it, and is one of the only rubbers that will. Certainly no euro rubber comes even close to chinese tacky rubbers for longevity and none of them will come close to lasting a year unless you're not really playing.

Here's an idea: take 2 skyline 3-60s and use for both forehand and backhand.

With your description of your play style, you probably shouldn't play a tacky rubber on your backhand. They are very sensitive to incoming spin and do not have enough speed to make blocks dangerous. A tacky rubber sounds like it may be good for your forehand, though, since you like to spin the ball. You might think about Hurricane 3 NEO or 999T on forehand and Xiom Vega Euro or Japan on backhand. If money is a concern, you can get 2 sheets of 999T for less than 10USD from eacheng.net. If you use that rubber on both sides, you'll be able to buy 2 or 3 sets of rubber so that you don't have to make 1 set of rubber last 16 months. You can also get a Galaxy N11 or Sanwei M8 blade for right around 10 USD and have a very cheap, usable setup.

Well he likes to chop block in the bh so he needs a slower and spinnier rubber. Have you tried sanwei Taiji?

Lightzy · Nov 26, 2018

Yeah DHS' skyline 3-60 is also one of their fastest rubbers.
It's really their best product I think. Spinny as all hell and quite fast, medium-tacky (it doesn't lift the ball but it has the kind of grip that no euro rubber has if you try to drag the ball across the surface of the rubber), and it really maintains that grip like nothing. I have a sheet on a spare blade that's over a year old now and it still grips the ball better than anything except a Battle2.

Yeah the more I think about it I really think it's your best shot.
But again, kind of heavy, but that's not something you can avoid if you want a rubber that'll last.
With a wood blade around the 80 grams range you should have a 180g setup which I think is also around the ideal.

The problem is that only the skyline will remain playable after a few months and the rest will be unplayable.

Emin Yilmaz · Nov 26, 2018

Hmm

i think i will go for 2x skyline 3-60 in this way

buts its too tacky

i read the description of vega europe and it says its durable and has got long lifetime than classic rubbers, what about bh vega europe and fh skyline 3-60?
