MOG said:I believe this Der Echte is why I play better with 1.9mm O5fx on my fh. My flat hits are much better and my serves and my pushes.
It is harder to block very hard flat shots back and it is a bit harder to create spin, especially against no spin.
But overall it is better I think.
On FX-S, do you think I would get enough arc out of it on an Ultimate 2 or Force Pro thinnish 7 ply blade.
When I tried it briefly before I felt like it flattened out too much, more than 05fx does.
I love the way 05fx can do little arcy topspins in a way other rubbers can't, not that we actually play this shot more than about once a week.
Hate the butterfly prices though!!
I use FX-S in 2.1 with OFF minus to middle OFF class wood blades... I can spin or pound it... I usually only hit when I get a dead ball return on serve that comes in a little high. My offensive shots are mostly heavy slow loop, fast loop, power loop, block, defensive topspin, or counter loop. Not much hitting going on with me very often.
I can say personally, I get enough OOMPH outta FX-S... It also gives me the confidence to hit through attacks (with a counter topspin) I think if I use it long enough and develop more consistent timing, that I could again be very well using a middle firm OFF dynamic rubber on FH like MX-K.
