Looking for a Speed based Rubber

[NextLevel]

For anyone who plays primarily for speed not spin and who doesn't use a Tenergy, what rubber do you use?

Yinhe Moon pro, Max Tense. About USD28 on Alie Express

Bryce Highspeed is a good speed based rubber. It's the fastest from Butterfly. Even faster than Tenergy 64 but has less spin.

MXP and Target GT 50

Stiga Mantra H or Calibra LT Plus. Xiom Omega 7 Pro can also be an option despite being spinny, it is very bouncy.

Mantra H is really fast. I’ve only tried a couple of times on a Viscaria and it was probably the most difficult rubber that I’ve ever tried due to the speed. Quite durable according to one of my training partners who switched from T05 to Mantra 6 months ago due to the cost difference (his Swedish ranking is 1700 which probably is 2100-2200 in USATT terms).

If you never make spin yourself and always flathit Maybe you can try short pimple as We discussed before But if you block more i find it easier to Do with an inverted.

I think that if you play close to the table you want ro have an hard stiff blade with hard rubber so the ball leaves your racket fast, direct with low arc to give the opponent less time to react and a faster ball to handle.

I was thinking about older generation rubbers as well (Tibhar Nimbus).

They were fast, but spin was not their domain.

And they are cheaper than the newer stuff mostly.

Bryce Highspeed is a very underrated rubber, but also quite expensive.

Coppa rubbers erode easily. I would rather suggest newer rubbers.

Inexpensive: Palio AK47 Red.
Not a ton of grip for spin, but blisteringly fast on a carbon blade I made with Koto outer, ALC, and Spruce medial plies.

More expensive (and ones I have lots of experience with): Omega V Tour, MXP
I'm sure there are faster, but these are the fastest I've tried personally in recent history.

Agree.
On a budget the AK47 Red will give a lot of speed combined with exaggerated spin-insensitivity, but at the cost of being able to generate less spin because the topsheets are... Well that's what they're like.
That said, it's not 'unspinny'. You can do a great ghost serve with it. But the ball leaves the rubber very fast with these rubbers. No 'bite' like in most euro/jap rubbers.
Also it's incredible for blocks for the same reason. Just put the bat there and your block will be fast and on the table, no need for extreme precision in angle.

Coppa rubbers erode easily.

That is unfortunately true.

Fastarc S-1 is very good, and extremely easy to play.
How good is he (assuming this is for someone else?), and does he need a hard sponge? If the aim is consistency and fast balls even on moderate shots, I think it is excellent and still allows for about anything else. Grip could be a little higher, but that also means low spin-sensitivity. Really the only issue could be counter-looping away from the table, which is still easy to do but leads to bottoming out on hard shots. Not many people at club level for whom that'd consistently be an issue, but you know better here.

Tmount ace 2 rubber is also very bouncy with less spin sensitivity.

Gold Arc 8 is another option or xiom vega japan or AK 47 red
