Any advice on medium hard rubbers for bh and medium soft rubbers for fh?
In contrast to most players, I prefer a medium to medium hard rubber on my backhand and a medium to medium soft on my forehand. Simply stated I like to have more 'kick' on my forehand and not so much on my backhand.
Currently playing with R45 on my fh. I like it, no real complaints, just interested in some similar good alternatives to try out. Tenergy 19 on my bh is a different story. I like some characteristics of this rubber (speed, grip, consistency) yet the kick and I guess also the speed gives me trouble controlling my spin shots (close and far from table) especially spinning with a faster stroke troubles me a lot. Lots of situations in matches I end up overshooting the table whilst trying to make a backhand winner so to say, I guess this rubber is just to fast/springy for me to master. I tend to punch/push/block/controlspin more with my backhand.
We're in the middle of the season and I'm not going to switch up all of my material at this point. I'm considering to go back to a relative fast 5 ply all wood blade (after this season) as I had some pleasant experiences in the past with all+ / off- wood blades. I think it's the right time to switch to a faster not to stiff all wood blade. I've tested a Stiga Cybershape Wood and I really liked it due to balance of control, speed and feeling.
I like rubbers in the medium-ish range not to soft or hard. Any suggestions?
