Cheaper Rakza Z EH alternative

[antedeguemon]

I am using a Rakza Z EH for quite some time and it isn't the same feeling and power from when it was new but because of financial conditions i don't really have space to buy a new rakza Z so there is a cheaper alternative to it? It's quite hard to find a good mix of chinese and european rubber as good as rakza Z and as durable too

As you are playing with Double Fish Volant Phoenix on your backhand, you could test the new Dragon Shadow 218 Spin from Double Fish on your forehand. Price is round about 20€ here in Germany and the first reviews sound good.

I played with 218 Spin 40. It is very similar to the regular Phoenix1, but has a slightly softer topsheet. The sponge feels the same as on the Phoenix1. So it is not an alternative of the Rakza Z Extra Hard.
If You like RZEH, then stick with it. It is better to be patient and save up money for a new rubber than to spend the same or maybe more money on finding analogues and not finding anything to like.
A completely different matter is EJ, but this should be a parallel process
