So here where i live, we have a HUGE outdoor community, wich means, especially in summer months and in good weather, i am playing outdoors most of the time.

my ''club setup'' as i call it, i use fastarc G1 and Moristo SP on and i am happy with it.

however i want to ''recreate'' that feeling, or lets say close enough onto a cheap blade, that i can use as an outdoor setup. sad fact is: you stress your material way more outdoors with dust, dirt, sun burning, weather in general and so on, and i dont really want to use 80$ of rubbers for that but something that feels similar enough so its playable.
My first thought was to buy some used G1 and Moristo and slapp those onto the outdoor setup but is there anything thats very similar in overall feel? its easy enough to find some used G1 for like 10-15$ for short pips, i m not really sure. i heard spinlord waran are also quite popular and cheap.

actually my long term idea behind it was to swap my nittakus from my club setup over to the outdoor setup when i need to replace them on my club setup so i can get a bit more use out of them this way but until then... i need something else until the first cycle is complete lol

sure it prob. wont perform as well as the nittakus, but then there wont be any serious competition either and its mostly training to begin with. the most important part is that the overall feel is similar enough that i dont need to adjust all the time, playing with one or the other setup

The only cheap rubber that kinda feels like a tensor is Palio AK47
For the short pip I don't know moristo, but
Yinhe Uranus pro has a bouncy feel and to me felt very similar to Spinlord Waran. IMO yinhe Uranus poly would do the Job fine for an outdoor setup.

If you take some time searching on Aliexpress you can find those rubber rubbers for 10 to 20 bucks.

It's a shame that you're not in the UK. I've got some used G1s that you could have for nothing.

funny thing but palio ak47 also can be played almost as short pips because the topsheet is not particularly grippy so you can punch through the spin just like you would with the short pips. So you could get 2 palio ak47 yellows and this would be extremely light setup as well, usually they don't weight more than 42g cut

I use G1
Cheap replacement rubber is the Stiga Mantra Pro (M). You can buy it at AliExpress for around 30 Dollar and it is not fake
It is excellent rubber
