Rakza XX vs Tenergy 19

[Faker]

I wanna use these rubbers on my blade (which ı posted on the thread "SDC HANDMADE BLADES" for asking composition). But ı wanna know which one should I use on my FH? My Rakza XX's thickness is max and Tenergy 19's is 1.9mm. For the fiber side which one should I use? I love playing fast with topspins and slaps.

 

[Lazer]

Xx on FH and 19 on BH, but if you don’t like it just turn the bat över…

If I were you, I would first put two absolutely identical rubbers on both sides to assess the difference in speed, dwell time and angle between the two sides of your asymmetric blade. And then, knowing this data, I would select the rubbers

Lazer, why did you recommend me to use Rakza XX on FH? @Lazer

Well I personally don’t like Rakza X(X)…
But given the choice and basing it on rubber hardness, I Would put XX on FH since I think it’s too hard for BH.

Too hard and too fast… I am much more comfortable with RakzaZ. It still hard but not so fast unless you give it all you got…

Is it spinny like Tenergy 05, can you compare them?

Tenergy 05 is the most reactive rubber I know. If you play a lot in position 3 (far away from the table) it’s great. Taking a shot from that position is like shooting a canon ball. But close to the table it’s like walking on a razors edge. Tenergy 19 is like a tamed T05. Rakza XX is harder to get good spin with but it’s not as reaktive as T05. Speed is similar.

I like linear rubbers on FH (i.e Hurricane 3) and rubbers with just a little bit of catapult (or reactive mess) on BH because I need more help there…

That could be I don’t know, only played Tenergies (05 and 19). I am boycotting Butterfly right now due to their high cost…

My boy. You think the prices are high. You haven't seen Turkiye yet. İn my country (Turkiye) a Tenergy costs 125 dolar and Dignics costs 150 dolar. Zyre costs 180 dolar bro. But other brands (xiom, Tibhar etc.) are really expensive too.

Playing table tennis and buying equipments are too hard in Turkiye😭

One rubber that you may be interested in is Nitakku hammond z2, not sure what price its in your country? On amazon its 1/2 price of Tenergy or dignics series.
More control than Tenergy 05, probably in between a D05 and T05 for speed and fairly linear and not spin sensitive like the tenergy series. I use the 2mm version and recently tried it on the FZD alc , and it was a good match on the forehand - a good balance of speed, spin and control.

Bro ı got Tenergy 19 1.9 mm for 75$. It was a bargain for me. Hammond z2 is not available in my country lol.

Yeah, that’s a bit on the steep side. I limit it to ~$50 per side often less…
There is nothing exactly like Tenergy or Dignics, but I really don’t look for that type of characteristics anymore…

No it was not a special. I got it from a person who has been to Japan. He bought some rubbers from there and he sold them in our country.
