Alternative rubbers to Stiga Hybrid XH

[HiddenLion213]

Hello, I'm looking for alternative rubber to Hybrid XH. It is a great piece but terrible when worn out. Im playing less or more 5 times a week for about 2,5 hour. I have been thinking about something cheaper so i could afford to swap it more often. I pair it with Stiga Clipper CC, like this soft feeling when playing 3 ball with a lot of spin, so i would stick with that. Friendship Battle 3 sounds promising with addicional boosting, Donic Bluegrip C2, maybe something from XIOM, Mantra Pro XH (boosted) or Andro Nuzn 55 (played on synteliac vco, very good together). My previous rubbers that i have used on this blade - T05, D05, DNA Platinum XH all of them felt preety good aside T05 - not a big fan overall. My playstyle is just putting a lot of spin on my backspin loop so i can punch with bh or play next topspin with fh. I dont know if its important knowlage but I use Mantra Pro H on BH tried on my fh side felt ok (i should play whole practice like that next time).

So if anyone have proposition i would really appreciete that

Hybrid lasts around 120-150 hours of practice\playing with good amount of tackiness. Do you clean them properly after each training session? Dignics 09c could last ~250-300 hours, but it is more expensive almost twice in comparison to DNA Hybrid.

Yes, I clean them properly but I play a lot. In my opinion it will be better to get something cheaper and replace it more frequently.

I don't think so you will find something cheaper with the same quality and balance between speed/control/spin.

It is already dirty cheap on Aliexpress during special days like 11.11 (~$30-$35 per a rubber). Buy them during these sales days and keep more than 1 set of rubbers.

I've used K3, D09C, C55, H52.5, Vega China and Victas 15 Sticky. Trust me Vega China last a long time and offers the best performance-to-value ratio ~$35USD. Mine still tacky after 30 sessions.

Vega China has a very good feeling and easy to hit through with better control than D09C on BH.

Can you give some impressions on Platinum vs D05? Spin, hardness and speed?
