Looking for Lightweight Rubber Recommendations

[yossi]

Lately I decided to try reducing the overall weight of my racket.
Until now I’ve been playing with a Xiom blade (hugo tmxi ) and C55 + Nuzen 48 rubbers, but I want to change my approach.
At home I also have an Ovtcharov ALC blade, and I’d like to put relatively lightweight rubbers on it and try to get the total setup down to around 175g, mainly to free up my backhand and improve reaction and control.
I’m considering ordering 1.9mm sponge, but the problem is that I’m not really sure about the actual weights.
In addition, I’ve also ordered a Mizutani ZLC, and I’d like to use a lightweight setup on that blade as well.
I would really appreciate any recommendations or advice regarding lightweight rubbers and setups.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Tenergy or Rozena 1.7

Glayzer 09C:
- first sheet, 2.1 mm red, 99g incl. package, 74g with Bty foil on, 43g to 44g cut and glued.
- second sheet, 2.1 mm red, 100g incl. packaging, 75g with Bty foil on, 44g
First sheet by chance because Butterfly charges 5€ if one requests a specific weight when ordering online. Second sheet selected in a store.
Victas V>11: similar weight or even less (can't remember exactly) as Glayzer 09C.
All blades with nominal 157 mm x 150 mm. Ovtcharov ALC has is larger head...

G09C is also the only rubber I know with such a hard sponge (around 52° ESN) and such a low weight.
If they are say 2g heavier on the larger Ovtcharov that leaves 83g to 85g or less for the blade. Not impossible but unlikely for such a thick blade (6.2 mm).

The question is if the total weight is the problem or if it's the blade's balance (too head heavy).
Did you try sticking a coin or something like that to the end of the handle? Maybe you can try a CyberShape (Carbon) CWT but afaik there's only the Pure CWT (more or less a Clipper) with a normal head shape and CWT.
Other options: reduce the head size or get a custom blade built to your specifications. @SDC and @Wakkibatty are on this forum

If you like c55 then omega 8 China could be good, from my understanding it's the same j&h sponge but they've made it lighter somehow
