Hit a wall with my BH on OSP Virtuoso Off- – Rubber recommendations or time to change blades?

[Tyce]

I don't know if it's of any help, but here's a short video of me (green shirt) a couple of years ago. This is how I typically want to play with my backhand - relatively close to the table with quite high tempo. Blade was Yasaka Sweden Extra, but I cannot remember which rubber I used. Maybe Evolution FX-D . How does Rozena compare to FX-D?

It is, because I now agree with @Der_Echte about how your current blade and a soft rubber will absolutely suffice. I'd go even further and say this isn't an equipment issue at all, and encourage you to try and get the shot you want out of your current equipment.
Don't get me wrong, your shot looks stable and dependable, but you're missing some elements that could make it lethal. A little more finger tension on contact, a little more whip action, just a tiny bit of both and your shot will start to feel like a rocket.

Thanks to both of you for your valuable comments! I think I'll try a softer rubber with your advice in mind. The feeling is way too off with R48 and won't be better with a harder rubber.

I've been using FX-D from April till October. One sheet lasted me 6 months and still lives. Its much slower after booster wears off. I feel its slow, but good grip.

Thanks. Not easy to find modern rubbers around 42-43 degrees...

FX-D is 45. They advertise the 43-45, but mine came at 45.
