I would say that I train at high performance, I practice around 3h30 to 5h a day, 6 days a week in a group of 4-8 people with the accompaniment of a coach.
So I have a serious dilemma, I'm currently using the Tibhar Evolution MXP 50 on the FH and Nittaku Fastarc G1 on BH, I've been using this setup since the beginning of April, I really like the rubbers, they fit my style of play well.
The MXP is already wearing out in the sweet spot but nothing too much. Fastarc is still good. I can send pictures of the wear later.
The problem would be the price, for those of you who earn in dollars or euros, this pair is relatively cheap, but here the money is in BRL, I would spend around 500BRL buying this pair again. Don't do conversion, think you would spend 500 euros or dollars for a pair. I don't have the best financial condition so I paid the pair on 100BRL once a month for 5 months.
Now this expense starts really affects me considering that I have to participate in some tournaments on the national circuit, which are always trips away.
So I'm thinking about buying a DHS Hurricane 8 for the FH and DHS GoldArc 5 on BH, it would cost around 220BRL, which is WAY cheaper for me. The problem here is whether the quality would last for a while, something like 5 months.
My experience on chinese rubbers are a DHS Skyline 2 NEO and DHS Hurricane 3, the Skyline opened a big bubble in the sweet spot separating topsheet from sponge, same on the top edges after two months of use. I used the Hurricane about two months and i not seen nothing at all, just the color worn a little, and the reduce of the tackiness but not too much.
I like the characteristic of Chinese rubbers, because I like forehand and it's my best stroke, so make strength to have a strong ball is not a problem and tackiness also helps me with a lot of effect. The problem is on quality control.
So, finaly: My coach has several contacts with friends and athletes, etc. And suggested that he look for good used rubbers, for a price that would be nice. But I'm afraid they also last even less than a Chinese one.
Looking for advices on this situation, chinese rubbers or used good esn rubbers? (most Tibhar and Joola ones).
