Please make a 50d dragon grip!

[TensorBackhand]

This was posted back in January, and it's approaching the end of the year, so maybe sooner rather than later.

No 50d, but definitely interested to see how these perform.

Maybe RakzaXX could suit you.

I did try it once, but it had a really low throw and is not tacky at all.

if you want responsiveness then maybe you don't need a hybrid on backhand then? what about a really grippy tensor like tenergy05, nittaku g-1, vega x or even something even more responsive like tibhar MX-D? did you tried that and if you did what problems you had then?

I second that opinion.

 

[TensorBackhand]

I second that opinion.

of course I did try a lot of tensor rubbers on bh as well. But I find that they don't grab the ball as well and don't loop as well.

Nittaku Fastarc G-1 isn't tensor.

Dragon grip is an excellent rubber with power and speed. I like it for both fh and bh!

I wish it was available in 50d for bh! Why hasnt any brand done this yet!? It would be awesome.

I know there is dna hybrid at 50d, but its not the same as it is much slower with less rebound.

Tibhar MK is ok, but still much slower.

Dynaryz zgx is ok, but it also feels slower than DG.

I want a 50d fast hybrid

How did you use the dragon grip? With or without the booster ? I have one and I'm thinking of using it for forehand.

I tried both, and the booster doesn't seem to add much. But doesn't really hurt either.

I am the opposite of you. I tried AK-47 and Big Dipper and did not like them at all on the backhand side. I want something bouncy. So I went back to ESN rubbers.

ha. That's why I am asking for a rubber that is both bouncy and a bit tacky. That's why I want DG in 50d

Nittaku Fastarc G-1 isn't tensor.

Technically it is. Made by ESN. Same generation of tensor as Vega Pro, R7, Aurus, Genius, Baracuda, Acuda, Hexer etc

 

[merlin el mago]

Technically could name it tensor but doesn't behave like the others ESN tensor.

 

[K.K]

i did switch between vega pro, g-1 and genius and for me they play like the same kind of generation. the only thing that stands out for me that makes g-1 so good and still compete with modern rubbers is it‘s topsheet that grips the plasticball super well! all the other rubbers either have slipping problems or not as much spin anymore since the introduction of the plasticball.

so back to the topic: i actually always thought that tacky and responsive is not possible? you need to overcome the tack to get the speed and most rubbers that are super spinny are mostly pretty slow at hitting. the only way to make them fast is with a hard and dense sponge underneath so that you can get the power through that. but then you must hit hard to activate the sponge, wich in your case is not working due to technical problems in your backhand. so if you want a softer and easier to activate sponge then it will either be super spinny but slow or super fast but not as grippy.

Yeah wanting something both grippy and bouncy is working against physics.

You either can opt for adhesion or opt for rebound. I struggle to think of how you get both at the same time.

Why not the Aurora Max you seem to really love ?

 

[TensorBackhand]

Well Aurora isnt tacky at all.

The best hybrid bh option from Chinese is Big Dipper boosted.

But im saying I would also like to see a ESN option.

Cool. Sounds nice, but how is it different from DG

Tensor is the name of the technology to replace speed glue from ESN.

If you find yourself in Stockholm/Sweden, you can visit the Stiga showroom. They have 4 tables set up, and all their different blades and rubber setups (including Dragon Power ) that you can try out. They even have a pro there who you can play against, who, if your are interested, will give you free advice on what suits your game best.
