Rubber recommendations

[Charbel]

I want a rubber that:
- is sticky/tacky
- has a medium-high throw angle
- doesn't require good physical condition
- is easy to use
- fast but not that fast (between Donic bluefire M1 and M2)
- can produce good spin
- around 47.5° - 49° ESN hardness
- has good control (not necessarily great)
- can be found at tabletennis11.fr

What you are playing with at the moment?
That way there's a base line to work with in answering.
Otherwise it's a bit blind.

Cheers

have you tried asking your seller that?

Rakza Z?

Rakza Z?

Doesn't it require a good physicality?

 

[CLV]

A little bit more then the typical euro tensor, but not too much ...

yes, currently waiting for an answer

I'll second Rakza Z for this use case. It requires very little physical effort to reverse backspin on a loop or flick, the combo of tackiness and grip is crazy. It's not the fastest, but it's definitely easy for that type of shot. OP could also look at Victas V20/V22, I found V20 to be a faster alternative to Rakza Z, they feel very similar, but I think Rakza Z is still easier/safer.

Good physically. generally yes.
Any "tacky" topsheet would require movement.

Do you have difficulties with your movement?

Isn't it slower than the Donic bluefire M2?

I don't have difficulty with my movement I am just not a fit person

Perhaps, I haven't played with it in a while so I can't say for sure. I guess it depends on what your definition of easy is. If you just want something that's super fast for a less spin based game, then idk get some Joola Dynaryz ACC or Andro R53 or something. I feel that Rakza Z, due to the grip/tack and resulting high arc, is easy to use for looping your opponents backspin. I generally find that to be the most difficult shot physically, as it requires using your whole body to generate arm speed.

I recently switched to a much faster rubber in Dynaryz ZGR. Best way I can put it is that a 50% effort loop with RZ is pretty safe and probably going to land on the table with good spin. A 50% effort loop with ZGR is going straight into the net. However, a 75% effort loop will produce much better results with ZGR than with Rakza Z.
