Best budget rubber for BH?

[Ultravisitor]

Hello Forum-members,

I really like the Yinhe Moon 12 Blue, it has fantastic defensive qualities, but it needs a lot of effort to get high speed. Under pressure I often wish the higher gears were more easily accessible. I tried my FH rubber Goldarc 8 47° on bh, but that's too fast for me or too hard.

After some research some rubbers come to my mind:

Palio ak47 red
BTY Rozena

Should I get 2 rozenas a year or 5-6 ak47.
Which would give me better performance?
Do you have any other suggestions for cost-effective rubbers?
I want an easy to play rubber, especially safe bh loop on backspin, fast counter and blocks.

For in and around the price of Rozena you can get a Rakza 7 or Rakza X, they both have soft versions too if you that's what you prefer.
I've used all of them and like them for BH

Mantra Pro M?

Nittaku G1/ C1- last forever.

Mantra Pro M?

Are Rakza 7/X and Mantra Pro m as durable as Rozena?

I considered fastarc c1 too but read that its better for a spinbased game, so assumed rozena to have more control/less spinsensitivity. Am I wrong with these assumptions?

The Rakzas are as durable as Rozena and last a long time.
Btw I didn't mention in 1st thread but Rozena could be a fine choice, it definitely has more gears than Moon 12 Blue. I have the Moon on a blade so know what you mean as regards it's speed.
The Rakza 7 would be similar to Rozena I reckon and the Rakza X with another gear more.

Rozena is the best choice here imo. Fastarc C1 next best option, more durable than Rozena, a bit more spin, but slightly slower. You may find Rakza 7 similar to your Goldarc on bh.

AK47 red is good, also boosted Aurora Max is good

DHS GoldArc 5

you could try the Moonspeed 53 Asia from Yinhe or Sanwei Gear Hyper 38° / Mid-Hard

those are a tiny bit pricier than the Moon 12 but around half a Rozena/Rakza.

Loki Rxton VII have been my favorite low budget rubber for BH.
Volant Phoenix 2 was nice too, but lacked power for quick flat strokes, and it's capabilities for blocking are insane.

Why cheap out on a Backhand rubber?

Just pay the premium for the upper-echelon Backhand:

Dignics 05/80/64/09
Tenergy 19/64

Don't worry about trying to save money here. Spend the extra few dollars, it's worth it.

The words budget and cost effective don't give you an idea? 😉
Not everyone wants or can spend lots of money on rubbers.
Looking for most bang for buck around Rozena, Rakza 7 etc can still get a very good rubber.
The ones you mention are $60 and $80 each and many don't fit into the easy to play, especially safe bh loop on backspin, category - although they are fast!

I just think these rubbers are overkill for my skill level. And I'm enjoying ejing to much to go spend that kind of money for slightly better rubbers.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, I placed an order for an palio ak47 and a set of fastarc c1/g1 for when the goldarc is toast

What is “ejing”?

+1 on vega europe if you prefer softer rubbers on bh, my coach recommends it to most players. used it a bit myself, super easy to play and can do everything you need from a bh rubber.

maybe when advancing to very high level the soft sponge can bottom out a bit but for the price its a fantastic rubber

Normal glayzer… good spin, control and decent hardness. Durability is also good and low weight is superb

I tried it and it felt to soft for me... felt unstable for me on stiff blades
