Hi everyone!
Around 6 months ago I switched to from normal tensor rubbers to Yasaka Rakza Z for my backhand. I would say the change was a success, because as I slowed down I developed a feeling for backhand flips, looping very comfortably now (especially underspin) and improved my overall backhand.
My current setup is: Blade: Butterfly Innerforce ZLF; FH: MXP; BH: Rakza Z.
As the rubber is getting worn out, I am looking for a rubber upgrade for my bh. I would like to stay in the hybrid section, as I like the grip they provide. Two things I would like to improve following the Rakza Z: 1) speed - I think it's time to speed up a little bit as I've gotten comfortable with it to the point need a little more, 2) throw angle - Rakza Z has a quite high throw angle, too high for BH I would say - I have to close the racket a lot when I play close to the table.
As for style and level - I play an offensive game, trying to get initiative early on and dominate the game with loops from both wings. I train 3 times a week and play in Polish 5th division.
I would be grateful for your recommendations.
