Hello.
I've been playing table tennis for a while now, recently I acquired my current set of rubbers and racket.
FH is Loki Rxton V, BH is Sanwei Ultra Spin and my blade is a DHS PG7.
I underestimated my skills and went with this set after some research because I didn't want to buy rubbers that would stop me from getting better. Now I'm feeling that I need to put too much effort to generate spin on the FH, effort I can't put in serves, which result in very lacking serves with the FH, the sanwei ultraspin in the other hand is very good for the price, but I wanted to experiment something quicker.
After some research I'm thinking of going with a Sanwei Target National 3 (medium hard) for the FH, but I can't decide on the BH
I live in Brazil, and european/japanese table tennis rubbers are very expensive here (except the ones that can be bought on AliExpress, please don't tell me to get a Butterfly). I would appreciate some help choosing a new set

What do you like and dislike about T88 for BH?

Yinhe Moon 12 is not sticky rubber with a good price/performance ratio. Sticky options: DHS H3N OS, 729 Brocken Boundaries (low throw 50-52 degrees).

It's impossible honestly to judge your actual playing level and rubber requirements on a forum.

You say you've been playing a while - what is a while? Have you been playing at a club, with coached training?

How old is your setup, how many hours have you been playing on it and what were you playing before that (and how did you like that?)


Here's some simple things you can do:
- try flipping your racket around and using the Rxton V on BH, see if you like that kind of thing
- try other people's bats, do take note if they're not using an all-wood blade that the feeling you get on your own blade will be different.

I could give some generic options, but I don't think that helps much at this stage.
