Rubber Recommendations on FZD SZLC

[kingkimchi]

Hi all,
Wanted to ask the experienced ones out there who have more with regards to equipment: what rubber recommendations would you give me for my FZD SZLC, which I newly bought. I have no budget, looking for a hard, grippy rubber on FH and a medium hard, still grippy rubber on BH. I am an advanced two wing looper, sadly I'm not very good at choosing equipment, pls help!!! I am also looking for good durability in my rubbers as I play 3-4 times a week (2-3 hours each session) Thanks All!

Hi Kingkimchi,

How do you find your current set up of Harimoto ZLC with D09C and T05H?

Without seeing that, I would have recommended D09C on FH and D05 on backhand.

Just curious, SZLC is supposed to be harder than ZLC. How will the transition help your looping?

Hi Heng Dai,
I am surprised you had budget for SZLC and didnt set some aside for rubbers

D09c on both sides. I think this is the "default" setup nowadays for ZJ SZLC and its brothers. On BH maybe you could switch to Tibhar K3 if you want a bit softer rubber.

I'm always surprised by posts like this. Buying a 350 USD blade and no clue what kind of rubbers to put on it. And asking people on a forum (who never saw you playing and don't know your skill at all) for advice on "what rubbers matches with blade xyz?"

Tip: just try the rubbers you actually like & enjoy playing....

What's wrong with your current rubber? I don't think it gets much better than Dignics and Tenergy?

But if you want to try newer models, maybe you could try Donic Bluestar A1 on FH and Nittaku Hammond Z2 on BH.

I updated my setup to D09C on FH and D05 on BH, but can't find how to change it on ttd. would like to know if I could take the same rubber setup with me on the FZD SZLC. Reason is I feel like I am more used to looping with harder blades, but the Harimoto zlc lacks some speed. Heard that FZD SZLC has the most control in the szlc series.

did you say you're an advanced player?

You could be an advanced player and have only ever played Hurricanes and Tenergies. If you start training from an early age, you may just use whatever the coach tells you to.
