What would be your go-to recommendation for a very cheap beginner rubber that focuses on control, is allround, and is not overly spin sensitive? ($10 max per sheet)
You can get a soft version of Air Illumina from ColesTT for about $11. For some time you could also get Gambler Zero from Cole for $10 but I don't know if he has it anymore. Though I personally like Air Defender because it has better grip, it is more expensive ($16) than Illumina Special and Zero
