Hello everyone.
I am a modern defender looking for a better forehand rubber.
My equipment includes a diode V, feint long III, and EL-P.
Because I never chop with the inverted side, I find EL-P too soft. I would like to use a rubber that is faster and harder.
I think victas ventus extra could work, but I'm not sure, so if anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated!

I was under the impression that most modern defenders use tacky rubber on forehand side. Why don't you try use tacky rubber, like Jupiter 3 or Rakza Z.

If you want a really fast rubber, you can't go wrong with Victas Ventus Extra, I can confirm, that it has great top speed and dynamics (but is still controllable regarding the latest standards). Its topsheet is rather firm, so it can be used precisely with stronger arm pulls.
If you want a somewhat less dynamic rubber, I can also recommend DHS GoldArc 5 /47.5 degrees variant/ (manufactured by ESN, like many other Euro rubbers), which also has a rather firm topsheet. GoldArc 8 /50 degrees variant/ has more dynamics, but it is still a bit slower than Ventus Extra - it has also somewhat dense, but noticeably softer topsheet, which may or may not work for you.

Joo se hyuk and ruwen filius are using Tenergy. I would guess chinese choppers probably use tacky rubbers.
