Saw you say that you are disregarding Tenergy because it's harder to use for short pushes. T05H is one of the easiest to control for short pushes I think.
What about MX-P fh EL-S bh?
T05 hard in theory does that easier -a short push, as do all harder rubbers, but the topsheet still makes it more challenging.
A hard sponge on FH is not for everyone, you gotta have the right kind of impact on power shots and a trade-off on slower heavy spin opening shots. You don't get it all with T05 Hard. It certainly isn't for me, I simply do not have the kind of impact on FH to make the best use of it in all shot situations.
True, T05 Hard is easier to push short than T05, but T05 has such a better feel of sponge and arc/spin of ball it is no contest for me if someone waz gunna give me free sheetz of Tenergeys… One has gotta look at what shots mean the most to them and what equipment gives them a better chance of performing those with quality...
Do you know how T05H compares to Vega Pro?
Vega pro felt harder to me, it's 47.5 hardness or something like that.
But now it turns out that the Rakza is 45-50, which is really, really odd. I mean, that they can't get their freaking process together enough to have a sponge of any consistency.
So maybe I just got a softer Rakza7 when I used it.
Vega Pro overall does not feel that hard to me. Der_Echte is NOT a hard rubber dude on FH. Medium to medium soft sponge on dynamic or linear topsheet is my sweet spot.
We all should discover the sweet spot. Some players have the kind of impact on the majority of their shots to benefit from a harder sponge.
My BH has several very direct and powerful impact shots which should benefit from a harder sponge, but somehow, even there on BH wing, a control oriented rubber with a dynamic topsheet or linear topsheet gets me a ton of spin, placement and pace when I whack it.
That is an example of a player being better off with a control oriented softer rubber, even if their impact ought to make good use of a firmer sponged rubber of the same make/model.
I like both of them and I find they are similar and almost interchangeable.A question to those who have used both Vega Pro and Rakza 7;
Could someone here make a quick comparison?
Damn, that's a wide range .
To me that seems a consistency far from acceptable, I wonder if every rubber produced by ESN has that same issue. Imagine buying a Rasanter R47 with an actual sponge hardness of 42 degrees, which would be in fact an R42.
Anyone here who could shed some light on this?
