Hi,

So I am looking for the lightest and most sticky hibrid rubber, since I am moving away from hurricane because of weight and slowness. I am using a 160x152 blade so rubber weight si important. Currently I have tried a Donic J1 FH and 09c backhand,, however I am looking to go lighter and MORE sticky if possible. ( I don't lik 09c on FH so I would move away from it)

Please give some recommandations on the following rubbers, or others? and share your experience with their weight?

Joola ZGR - ?
Victas v15 Sticky ?
K3 PRO - ?
K3 normal - ?
Rasanter c53 - ?
Stiga Dragongrip - ?
Stiga Dragonpower 57.5 - ?
Victas TDE ( I heard its heavy) - ?
Xiom c55 ( not sticky and also heavy)
Donic J1 - 54g cut 160x152
Rakza Z EH ( uncut is 78 grams without foil, too heavy)
Rakza Z regular ( too slow, too soft )

Please add to the list the weight that you found on hibrids and if you felt they were sticky

Yasaka Rising Dragon - a tad bit stickier than Rakza Z, 45g cut to 160x152 (Hugo ALX Pro), but slower - I don't find Rakza Z slow at all, but Rising Dragon is a bit slower, still, I find it similar to Dignics09c. Rakza Z really isn't slow as I do not dare to boost it in order to make it bigger as it shrunk quite a bit and it doesn't fit my AZXi Pro (even though it was cut on Hugo ALX Pro).

Xiom C55 was too heavy? mine was 52g after cutting if I am not mistaken. same as Rakza Z, and 90% of rubbers I have tried. Xiom Omega 8 China. 51-52. Xiom Omega 7 China Guang. 52g. Donic Bluegrip S1, 49g. Donic Bluegrip C2, 52g ... Hurricane 9 Violet is heavy with 57g. Hurricane 3 NEO National 40 BS is heavy with 55g (after boosting) ...

China Guang and Xiom C55 were 54g for me, are you sure you are not streching the rubbers as you glue them? That could make them lighter

I saw you have the "pro" blade head size - 160x152 ... China Guang and C55 were cut on my Xiom AJH TMXi which has cca. 159x152 head, so maybe here is the difference.

but - both Yasakas and H3N national were cut on Xiom Hugo ALX Pro and AZXi with 160x152 head size so these numbers are relevant.

Glayzer 09C is lightweight and slightly tacky. In thickness 2.1 and dimensions 150x157mm, it weighs 46 grams without glue. True, the stickiness is lower than that of Rakza Z and Hurricane.
