Hello TTD!
So, I will be using Gergely Alpha now with pips (Armstrong Attack 8M) and I'm currently searching for suitable FH rubbers.
I know Gergely Alpha is a stiff blade so I was wondering if I should use soft rubbers? Or can I still use medium to hard rubbers?
I can play well with tensors and Tenergy. But I originally use Chinese rubbers. Generally, tensors are softer than Chinese rubbers but they are often fast, so what I need instead is a FH rubber that has a good short game behaviour (not overly fast) and with excellent spin.
Or can I continue using chinese rubbers? I've used a hybrid last time which is Butterfly Spinart.
I am thinking of trying Tenergy 80 because it seems it has better short game behaviour than the T05(which I've used before Spinart). Or maybe softer versions like Ten80fx or T05fx? Or tensors like Barracuda? Could you offer some more options?
Thank you!
EDIT: My playing style is rather all-round with a little bit of aggressiveness. I do not loop a lot, but I loop when I have secured a good chance. My BH is more for punching hence why I used the Attack8M, and my FH is for looping, sort of driving the ball. I finish a point with placement and spin, but not with a loop ala Timo, rather somewhat a drive. I also like to serve short mixing my backspin serves with no-spin serves. When the ball pops I just smash it or drive it to a corner.
