Looking for a BH rubber that has higher throw then Rakza 7, suggestions?

[Tyce]

Unless the Rakza 7 is actually worn out, don't replace anything. Keep at it, because now you actually have a problem you can learn to fix.
If you change rubber now, it's really easy to blame lack of improvement on the rubber change. It's also hard to tell if you're actually doing better or if you just have a more tolerant rubber.

You've located a specific issue, rejoice because you now have the opportunity to work on it.

unfortunately, my Backhand technique isn't nearly as good as my forehand.

I'm currently playing with Rakza 7 on BH and I find that I hit the net too often, the throw of the rubber feels low (for me with my current technique).

On forehand I play with G-1, which has a higher throw, but It's not an ideal BH for me because it doesn't have that catapult effect, and I think I need that catapult effect ON BH because my BH is not powerful at all (due to technique).

Basically what I'm looking for is a rubber that has strongish catapult effect (like Rakza 7)+ higher throw then Rakza 7 + controllable for BH that allows you to improve the technique with more training.

Can you recommend such a rubber?

Honestly you'd be better served using the R7 to fix your technique because there's no real reason why this rubber shouldn't work for you.
In fact I'd say it is working for you in highlighting the deficiencies in your technique so you know what to work on.
Swapping to a higher throw may not benefit in the long term.
Rakza X is stated as higher throw although I can't say I noticed much difference myself, I actually thought it was more direct but maybe my memory fails me....
You could try the soft versions of Rakza X and Rakza 7 that are 'easier' to activate in terms of speed + spin.

Jesus, that's weird man. Your post wasn't there when I started typing. Strange we had the same though at the same time! 😂

Not sure where/who stated it, but in my exp. Rakza X has lower through... So your feeling that it is more direct is right... You know, to voice my personal opinion - I feel I owe it to the ... ;-)

Yeah. I was looking at this photo and not sure I agree with it. But I'd love to stick an X and a 7 on a blade now to find out!

A lot of hybrid rubbers tend to be higher throwing. I haven't tried it myself but maybe C48 or C45 from Andro could do you well. Maybe even NUZN 50

+1 too on fastarc C-1. it basically what you described and a perfect backhand rubber.
but if you really want to go for high throw and catapult then try omega v tour or tenergy 05.

most modern rubbers besides hybrids have mostly lower throw. and with hybrids you have not the catapult you wanted

Would you say C1 has more catapult then G1?

How would you describe the difference between G1 and C1?

I'm not sure why people prefer C1 on backhand over G1? I didn't feel G1 is hard to control..so why prefer the slower C1? Assuming C1 is slower

more catapult that starts earlier (still a lot less compared to modern rubbers)
easier to generate spin but not that high peak like g-1
a bit lower throw that makes backhand techniques easier

backhand stroke is more compact, the timing is harder and therefore it less likely to generate the same power as on forehand. softer rubber help with that because easier to activate spin and speed

Appreciate the info.

I guess C1 is worth the try considering it's not expensive and durable.

Sounds like a rubber I could work with to improve BH technique, maybe a better fit for me then rakza7 or G1 on BH.

Don't expect it to solve my issue, just hoping it would feel more natural and help me slowly improve BH
