Need opinions for NEW BACKHAND RUBBER

[Scorpnox]

I had Rakza 2.0 mm before but couldn't control it with my BH...
So no Xiom for me

If you couldn't control it, most likely it had nothing to do with the sponge thickness. If you don't want to watch the videos, their basic message is that there are many more important things than sponge thickness.

True... If I keep that in mind I think Vega Europe or Pro are good rubbers for me
Elite is to close to the table

haha, after watching the videos , i am more confused about the effect of rubber thickness than ever !!

also i played with a new Tibhar Aurus soft (red , 1,7mm) on a Joola K1 blade (just after placement of the brandnew rubber) and i have to say it played really well, heavy spin, good speed and good feeling of the ball, i would suggest a Tibhar Aurus soft for your backhand Scorpnox, it really is good stuff (the soft is not really soft , rated 42 degrees by Tibhar and i would agree), it is slightly softer than a regular Sriver imo (the sound version is really soft, just like a Genius sound imo)

i thought the thicker the sponge the faster the rubber will be.

Does someone uses Baracuda?

as far as i know thinner sponge will show the effect of the blade itself on the ball more significantly, thicker sponge is way around

Tihbar nimbus is good. Stiga boost not bad too. Im currently use nimbus and prefer it over stiga

I have used Baracuda 2.0mm, great spin & good control, less speed (or catapult, whatever) than rakza 7 soft 2.0. Lasted me for a good 12 months if you clean after every session. I'm thinking of buying it again, my backhand pushes used to be very effective.

RITC 2000 Tack Speed seems to be awesome for such purpose..

one of my friends uses tibhar genius on his backhand and he likes it...he is very forehand dominant though so his backhand is used to set up his forehand more than anything else- i dont know whether this suits you too lol
