I would bet that some pros are hurting the game using rubbers that are too hard.I agree that there's too soft, too hard and just right for me, but that "just right" is not the same for everybody and it can depend on what you pair it with and it can also evolve with your increasing level and physical training, and taste.
Hard rubbers will have less grip and not the same spring effect like I said above. It doesn't make any difference whether you are a noob or a pro. Your ability doesn't change the rubber.
Finger nails on a chalk board!!!For me, on the FH, if I'm using a tension rubber,
Tell us what is tensioned. This is marking crap.
We have been through this before on another forum.
But then the soften their rubbers up with speed glue or boosting. Tacky top sheets help with the grip.So I'd never play with a tension rubber harder than 48 deg, at least right now. But a 53 deg Chinese tacky rubber, yes, because it's a whole different ball game.
