Is the rubber on Xiom Omega VII and Yasaka Rakza X the thin modern rubber?
Also how thick is the sponge on maz on both?

What would people advice out of Omega VII, Rakza X soft, Fastarc C1 or Rasanter R45 or Victas v15 stiff as an alternative to 05fx on fh?
Prefer 2mm but don't like the ultra thin rubbers

I seem to prefer softer rubbers on fh as I don't have that professional technique to sink into sponge well.

I know none of them will be quite as spinny as Tenergy 05fx

But as long as they have decent arc on spinny topspins that's ok

I think I would benefit from the control and slightly less sensitivity and bounciness of 05fx

I have 1.6mm Spectol Red on bh

Also are there big differences in Red and Black?

V15 stiff would be my choice among these. Red and black are close, usually black rubbers are better in my view but V15 red and black were very close for me. V15 blue was bad.
I like V15 since I can play forward with it, it makes a natural arc I don't need to focus much on creating one. Durability is pretty good too.

does v15 have the thin topsheet like some of the modern rubbers?
