Hi everyone.

A couple of years ago I asked for some rubber advice on this forum.
The most popular opinion was that I needed a harder sponge than I thought I wanted.

You were all right.
I do now prefer and play much better with the harder rubber.

For the last 5 months I have been using the Fastarc G1 and have to say I am quite happy with it.
My only criticism is it is heavier than I would have preferred.

It seems most hard sponges are fairly heavy for obvious reasons but I notice the Victas V 11 is slightly lighter than most.

To anyone who has used both of these rubbers how do they compare with regards to
Spin
Control
Speed.
Hardness

Seeing as I'm back on here seeking advice again, are there any other rubbers that may suit my game but are not too heavy and no softer than a medium hard sponge.
I could be tempted into going over to the dark side and maybe trying a short attacking pimple.

I play close to the table with an all round style.
Good at blocking, flat hitting, driving, smashing and pushing.
Not so good at brush looping or chopping, which I'm not bothered about as I enjoy and do ok with what I'm good at.

Cheers

Bones
