Tbh, I have not tried Infinity Vps, the rubbers mentioned were tried on my hurricane Hao III (and some on Yasaka Silver Line Carbon) and it depends what you mean by, "doesn't work well"... I did not really like M1-Turbo (I liked it less than I liked jp-01 Turbo, which I obv liked, but a couple things I was not happy with lol) it might have been 5% faster, but every other aspect was worse compared to jp-01 Turbo imo, and I found Tenzone Ultra to be an even more perfected Jp-01 Turbo lol. Well close - med distance, Jp-01 Turbo was better from a far like 5-7m+ (not sure about exact numbers) if you'd want to keep looping, but even for lobbing I personally found Tenzone Ultra superior... (a shame Adidas is quiting now)
But what exactly are you struggling with? like, what kind of strokes are you having issues to conduct?
One thing I know I struggled with the M1 and Jp-01 Turbo was counter looping when the ball got heavy/fast top-spin.
It was so hard to prevent the ball from going too far while still going over the net lol, which is kind of alpha and omega in tt. I found this to be easier with Tenzone Ultra. It's speed levels on different gears were more predictable while it was still very good in the short game. Meanwhile the catapult effect in the bluefire was very hard to master/control.

It is an issue to make good bounce and a decent arc with the hardness of M1 paired with the stiff infinty. I also have trouble countering with the M1 as you said. The JP-1 sounds good though I haven't used it. Basically, the M1 is too hard and stiff for the Infinty. Hey, do you think this is helping iJayMez1?

Well, this would be sound advice if he sounded happy with his setup. But he gave every indication that he was not happy with it.

Sorry was a bit tired when I answered and did not see that he had more post in the thread. Of course you should do a change. Me myself hate playing with a setup I don't feel 100% comfortable with. That is actually a think I need to train on, sometimes I put way to much energy and losing my confidence when I'm not completely satisfied with my setup.

I have 2 YEO Cpen and just redressed them with TG2/TG2 Neo FH and R7/RX RPB. Both Yasaka works well as RPB with R7 a bit more to my liking. I briefly tried them both for FH and R7 is again the winner here as RX seems to have some consistancy problem. I have to concentrate more with RX or the ball will shoot long or net. R7 is way more easy to play with for FH in comparison. Just my guessing but the RX could be more spin sensitive. Since all my games were using celluloid lately so plastics may yield different results. I will not rule out RX just yet.


What surprise me more is TG2 Neo for FH. I have played with many DHS rubbers before but this is the first time with TG2 Neo and loving it from first hit. Must be Ma Lin effect doing the magic! I have not boost or use any speed glue here, just one layer of DHS WBG on blade and not even any on sponge. It is lively with elastic feel. Loop drive is strong and deadly with enough spin and speed from close to mid distance. Counterlooping is equally easy to perform and land with confidence. I always love combos with loud clicks when hitting right and this is doing exactly that and more. Today my opponent actually question me if the ball was cracked :). I managed to beat those I have trouble before. Awesome! I wish any second sheet I buy will still possess the same magic.
