I use Neotex x5-m on forehand and stiga Mantra pro M on backhand. Spesially the Mantra pro is a really pop up and shoot long with pushes. Its difficult to keep the ball low and short.

The reason im looking for a new rubber is a want something with better control in the short game and that give me easier power than the Hurricane in the faster shots. I dont like G-1 or c-1 to much. To hard feeling for their sponge and not the best for creating spin. I also put Hurricane on wait.
So i am looking for a rubber that is Linear, short pushes should be easy to do with precision. With harder shot, the sponge shell come to help.
The rubber should be sticky and grippy for the possibility to create spin and attack strong cutting balls. Also the rubber should last at least around 3 months, with10 hours of training a week. Im thinking of Yasaka Razka Z or Andro Racanter c48. I would like to put in Tibhar MK Hybrid, but i heard it have bad quality. Any recomandations for a new rubber?

Have you tried to switch your BH with your FH and do you have the same problems? Also what blade do you have?

I would choose the Rakza Z, was very easy to play with when I tried it briefly. But people say it is kinda slow and softer than stated by Yasaka.

Hi, Yes i have tried to switch the sides. I have the same rubbers on two different blades. One is Nittaku S-Series S-SZ, and the other blade is Xiom Novus Allround S. I think i will try to order som different rubbers from tt11 and check. I really want to use one blade with the same rubber for a longer time, but this is harder than it should be. I used Razka before and its a safe choice.

The only durable hybrids are D09C, Razka Z and Xiom Vega China.

Vega China is at 55 hardness but easy to play on BH. More consistent than D09C.

Z is the slowest of the 3.

D09C is definitely the king of hybrid.
