Hello everyone,
My teammate plays mostly blocks (soft ones more often than not, sometimes fast) then counter attacks either flat or with some topspin on both wings.
His blade/handle broke off during our last league match (I don't even think it hit the table), he was playing with a Donic Burn OFF- with 2-year old Donic Bluefire M3 in 2.0mm on both sides. After trying another teammate's vintage Tibhar IV-L with 1-year old Joola Samba Sound in 1.8mm on both wings, which he liked, he ordered a new IV-L with a fresh set of M3's and really doesn't like the way it feels.
He's now ordered a new Donic Burn OFF- but has also mentioned he doesn't like the feel of new rubbers at all, my guess is they are too grippy and bouncy for his style. Wondering what rubbers he should get instead, I was thinking perhaps non-tension rubbers such as Butterfly Sriver EL (or regular or FX?), Cornilleau Drive Speed, Tibhar Rapid, Joola Samba, Andro Shifter, Yasaka Mark V, or perhaps even short pips?
Thoughts?
