What’s cracking my fellas, I am back once again to ask for your opinions and suggestions!
To preface, I’m simply playing CPen as a side hobby, as I am currently maining a shakehand short pips. Therefore u can say that I am sort of a beginner at CPen even though I have the basics down as I’ve been playing table tennis since I was 5. I know how rpb works so I guess I’m not THAT much of a beginner at penhold.
I currently use a Xiom Tau 2 on the forehand and Tibhar Evolution MX-P50 on the backhand. The Tau 2 feels fine for me but the MX-P50 is where the problem arises.
Firstly, it is WAYYYY too fast for me to control. My rpb isn’t that developed yet so this was particularly frustrating for me.
Secondly, most balls either fly off the table or drill into the net when I try to make adjustments. The margin for error is so low that sometimes I become discouraged from even attempting rpb.
With these 2 concerns in mind, I have decided to change the backhand rubber. Oh I forgot to mention (even though it is visible in my profile), but I am using a DHS Hurricane G inner ALC blade with 2 different wood outer plies (either Koto/Limba or Limba/Ayous, not sure which as different websites state differently). My rpb side is the softer wood side, so either Limba/Ayous. I read that ESN tensor rubbers are better for rpb as well as high-throw rubbers as rpb tends to have a closed racket face.
Here are my current considerations for a more controllable and easy to use rubber for rpb:
1. JOOLA Dynaryz CMD
2. JOOLA Rhyzen Ice
3. JOOLA Rhyzen Fire
4. DHS Goldarc 8 47.5
5. ANDRO Rasanter R48
6. VICTAS V>15 Extra
7. VICTAS V>15 Stiff
8. VICTAS Ventus Extra
9. VICTAS Ventus Stiff
10. GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 45 Superselect
11. GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 48 Superselect
12. XIOM Vega X
I’m not such a baller to purchase all and test them all out, thus I am turning to the glorious Tabletennisdaily community for advice and help. I am currently leaning more towards either the Rhyzen Ice/Fire or the Goldarc 8.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
