Looking for rubber recommendations - Almost 1 year in with the stratus powerwood, G1, C1

[AnoM94]

Hello. Ive been playing for almost a year now and ive gotten pretty comfortable with my current build (Stratus Powerwood, Fastarc G1 FH and Fastarc C1 BH) and im looking to try some different rubbers with my blade so i can come to a final verdict. Does anyone have some good recommendations? Id appreciate it.

Upgrade to an innerforce alc blade and keep g1 forehand and switch to d80 bh. Whats your style of play though

Im not looking to change blades ill leave that for the future my coach also said that my blade is perfect for my level plus im not looking for a faster blade. Why should i switch to the d80 tho?

Its easier to use than dignics 05 with a softer topsheet so you can easily lift backspin plus block and punch. its a do it all rubber.

Try the G-1 on backhand since you have it there to try already.
Why - what do you want to get from a rubber change? Those rubbers are perfectly fine up to a very very high amateur level that only the top 5% of every country get to. Now knowing that, it is perfectly fine to have fun with equipment (it is indeed part of the fun journey), but you should know what you want to get out of a change.

i just want to try different rubbers this upcoming season so i can find "my rubber" and if i dont like them im just gonna revert. It will be like a testing phase

If you have a coach ask him, why on earth are you asking here that nobody knows your skills.

I also previously played with Tibhar SPW and G1/C1 for about a year.

I was satisfied with changing my C1 on backhand to Vega X, it felt like a decent step up. The maximum thickness for C1 is only 2.0mm as well, so Vega X Max is a meaningful jump. The G1 is similar or even a little bit more powerful than the Vega X in the same thickness, I wouldn't bother changing from G1 to Vega X.

If you really want to upgrade the G1 as well then I would look at something like Omega 7 Pro/Tenergy 05 or 19 - my experience is that these are bouncier and faster than the G1 but if you are aggressive and consistent with the G1, I think the change is manageable.

Always good to change only one wing at once though, to make sure your other wing is still a consistent reference point.
