I have been considering what to change to for my backhand rubber for a while and I have a few in mind, including stiga platinum H, andro rasanter r53, xiom omega vii asia. can anyone share their experience and compare their speed, spin and arc. personally, I like to do banana flicks inside the table against serves, and I personally do prefer more spin as these three rubbers have sponges that are 50 degrees or above so I guess they will provide enough power for rallies and punches. i am using ovtcharov alc at the moment with rakza z as backhand. i feel like although rakza z is very spinny, it does not provide enough power to threaten the opponent as the sponge feels dead somehow. I tried xiom omega vii pro on my frd's blade but only for a short while so not enough to have a complete impression (the only impression was I would like a harder rubber, or maybe because my frd's blade is not as quick or stiff). Also can anyone share the differences between harimoto alc with ovtcharov alc, I can't find many comparison on the internet.
